Conference
Will Address Race and Ethnicity Issues "What's Next? American Pluralism and the Civic Culture," November 4-6, will bring together "some of the sharpest minds in the country," in the words of President Ruth Simmons, to suggest concrete responses to the pressing challenges of racial and ethnic integration and to find common ground within our diverse society. In addition to Guinier, noted speakers and panelists include sociologist Nathan Glazer, anthropologist Johnnetta Cole, New York City Board of Education Chancellor Rudolph Crew, immigration specialist Rubén Rumbaut, Former NAACP Chairman Myrlie Evers-Williams, performance artist Anna Deavere Smith, California State Polytechnic University at Pomona President Bob H. Suzuki, Latino Studies Professor Gilberto Cárdenas and NOW Legal Defense Fund Director Kathryn Rodgers. "Hosting a national conference on racial and ethnic diversity has been a priority of mine since coming to Smith," Simmons explained. "By joining forces with a number of our country's leading voices on these matters, I am convinced that Smith can help bring serious attention to the issues of pluralism that affect not only the core of our educational system but our ability to progress as a nation in a global community." "Our aim is to go beyond debates about affirmative action," added Peter Rose, Sophia Smith Professor of Sociology and Anthropology and organizer of the conference. "In the next century, if we are to create a more perfect union, we must first address such matters as the relationship of old minorities to new immigrants and the problems of finding common ground within groups divided by generation, class and gender. "The ultimate challenge, then, is to build coalitions across group barriers and create meaningful, national policies that support those coalitions." Otelia Cromwell

I. Rose, conference chair, Smith College Alums to Screen Their Own Creation Chuck is a stressed-out New York paralegal who rents a car and escapes for a weekend in the country. While there, he stops at a bar and meets the woman of his dreams. Or does he? Nothing in the film Weekend Getaway is quite what it seems. Weekend Getaway, which will be shown in Stoddard auditorium at 3:30 p.m. November 6, as part of the Northampton Film Festival, is a 13-minute film written, directed and produced by three Smith alums. Director Elizabeth Holder '92, describes the movie as "kind of a Twilight Zone romantic comedy exploring the idea of fantasy versus reality." Holder began making the film last year enlisting her friend, playwright Sonya Sobieski '91, to develop a screenplay. Sobieski adapted the film from a play she had written previously and sold it to Holder. Along with the creative talents of producer Sandi Johnson '94, Sobieski and Holder created the film, which has enjoyed some success at film festivals here and abroad. Shot during two days in June 1998, Weekend Getaway stars Jill Hennessy (Law & Order, I Shot Andy Warhol), Will Arnett (The Mike O'Malley Show), and John Seitz (G.I. Jane). It is currently being screened at film festivals around the world, including the Seattle International Film Festival's "Women in Cinema" series, the Maryland Film Festival, and the French/American Film Workshop in Avignon, France. The film was also featured in the New York/Avignon Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Prize for Best Short Screenplay. Sobieski says the success of Weekend Getaway has been encouraging and exciting. "I needed the encouragement -- writing a screenplay is hard. I'm very excited that people respond to it, and it's nice to know that it's getting shown all over the country." Holder shares Sobieski's excitement about the success of the film. "I got so much pleasure from making this film and putting it together," she says. "All the Smithies came through and were very supportive." The three alums have been touring with their film to the film festivals here and abroad. And they're already hard at work on other projects. Holder is in the post-production stage of her first feature-length film, The Acting Class, and Sobieski is working on her first feature-length screenplay. The filmmakers are quick to emphasize that they would not hesitate to collaborate on another project. "Sandy and Sonya are great, very creative and wonderful people," Holder says. "I will definitely work with them again, without question. I was lucky to have such a good team." Music for the Young@Heart Those who believe it's never too late in life to start something will find a living example of that wisdom in the Young@Heart Chorus, a musically ambitious group of 30 senior citizens who have been singing all over the world since 1982. Many of the group's members, who's average age is 77, never sang in an organized group before joining the chorus, says director Bob Cilman. The Young@Heart Chorus will perform Road to Heaven, a program that focuses on the theme of eternal youth, during two concerts at Smith. On November 2, at 8 p.m., the group will present an open dress rehearsal of the program free to Smith community members. On November 3 at 8 p.m., the chorus will also perform but with a $10 admission price. Both performances will take place in Theater 14 in the Mendenhall Center for the Performing Arts and are sponsored by the theatre department. The performances of Road to Heaven are dedicated to Young@Heart Chorus members who have died since its inception. The program is directed by Roy Faudree MFA in theatre '74, chair of the speech, theater and communication department at Holyoke Community College. For anyone with expectations of what a senior citizen chorus might perform, Cilman is quick to point out that this chorus defies stereotypes. The chorus uses as its motto, "Expect the unexpected" because, as Cilman explains, "I don't think they're the typical senior performance group in any way. They sing stuff that seniors don't normally sing -- from Led Zeppelin to Talking Heads to Devo." Many songs in the chorus' repertoire, like Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" and David Byrne's "Once in a Lifetime," take on an entirely different meaning when sung by 30 senior citizens, says Cilman. Following the Smith concerts, the chorus will travel to Munich for its debut in Germany at the Spielarts Festival. The group's three previous tours to Europe, including visits to Holland and Belgium, have prompted numerous articles about it in Interview Magazine, the National Examiner and others. A film titled Happy End that profiles the chorus was made when it toured Belgium and was aired on Belgian national television. That film will have its American premiere at the Academy of Music November 4 at 1 p.m. as part of the Northampton Film Festival. Two Awards for Smith The Office of Advancement and the Alumnae Association of Smith College were recipients of two awards at the 25th annual Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) Assembly, held in Boston at the Marriott/Copley Place last July. Since 1959, CASE and its predecessor organizations have recognized exceptional programs and initiatives at institutions of higher education. Each year, the CASE Circle of Excellence Awards Program for Alumnae Relations and Communications identifies and rewards excellence in alumnae relations and communications. The program includes 44 categories in areas of alumnae programming, institutional relations, electronic and new media and periodicals and publications. This year the Alumnae Association received a bronze medal in the Visual Design in Print category for its publication, Smith Alumnae Quarterly. Edited by John MacMillan, it distributes 42,000 copies to alumnae, graduate degree alumnae, faculty, staff and friends of the college. Last year the Smith Alumnae Quarterly won three medals: a gold for most improved magazine, silver for best article, and bronze for best visual design. The Office of Advancement received an award in the Overall Fundraising Performance category for private liberal arts institutions with more than 10,000 alumnae. The CASE Circle of Excellence Award "was our third consecutive award and reflected on our results for 1999," says Vice President for Development and Chief Advancement Officer Karin George. The award certificate states that "membership is bestowed on a highly select group of educational institutions whose overall fundraising results or creative programming demonstrate exemplary performance or significant improvement." An expert panel of judges selected winners by giving consideration to a complex interplay of data and factors that support solid program growth, breadth of the base of support and institution type. Any CASE member institution is automatically eligible for either the fundraising performance or improvement awards provided it has participated in the Council for Aid to Education's (CAE's) "Voluntary Support of Education" survey. Trustee Pamela Smith Henrikson '62 accepted the award on behalf of Smith. This year's circle award winners for fundraising by private liberal arts institutions also included Amherst and Wellesley colleges. Staffer Deemed GoodSamaritan When art department technician Jim Hume left home for a vacation trip this past August it was not his intention to become a hero. But he returned with a commendation from the Northwest (Canadian) Mounted Police for being a Good Samaritan. Hume received this rare honor on a trip to the Northwest Territories' region of Inuvik, near the Beaufort Sea. Traveling together in their recreational vehicle, he and his wife, Joan, a nurse, drove thousands of miles to reach their destination. The drive was often treacherous, Hume says. There were long stretches of construction and 450 miles of dirt roads. Also, because the ground is always frozen in the Northwest Territories, roads must be built several feet above ground. On one of those raised roads the Humes encountered an accident. A car had rolled down an embankment. Two of its three passengers were thrown out of the vehicle. The Humes pulled over and helped the victims by offering first aid and hailing a trucker, who then radioed for emergency assistance. To the rescue came a constable, some construction workers, and the Canadian Mounted Police. The accident victims were transported to a medical center, and Jim and Joan were commended for their assistance. The Humes returned safely home from their journey, having traveled more than 11,000 miles in their RV. In addition to their Good Samaritan award from the mounted police, they also received a certificate from the Arctic Circle chapter of the Order of Arctic Adventurers, commending them for their long journey north. "I Want My MTV" -- You Got It By Adele Johnsen '02 According to Herb Nickles, director of Information Technology Services (ITS), the cable is coming from a video signal on a "hybrid fiber coaxial network," which ITS and cable company MediaOne are making available to all student rooms and classrooms on campus. The project has a largely educational purpose: not only will classes be able to view news from basic cable channels like C-SPAN and CNN, but they will be equipped to receive three international channels as well. "News from dozens of foreign countries all over the world" will be available to Smith students, says Nickles. "It's exciting, especially if you can speak those languages or if you're from those countries." Funding for the cable network was approved three years ago by what has become the Missions and Priorities Committee, prompted by a need to upgrade Smith's existing fiber network as well as a desire to make news and language channels available to campus classrooms. Student lobbying for cable access was also a factor, says Nickles. "We get requests every year from students who want to have a separate line in their rooms." In addition to the educational channels, students will be able to receive about 50 standard cable channels, ranging from MTV and VH1 to E! and Lifetime. Many students on campus, like Allison Schultz '02, are excited about it. "I think it's great," says Schultz. "I brought a TV. I think everyone in my house will be happy because now I won't be in the TV room all the time." Not all students are so enamored of cable. Emily Kolod '03, for example, seems indifferent. "I don't really watch TV anyway," she says. "There's just not much time for cable at school." The cable is being implemented in three phases as MediaOne activates individual areas of the network. The network, Nickles explains, is like a spiderweb. Activating only one strand at a time helps MediaOne to "get it correct and isolate where the problems are." While all phases of activation are expected to be completed this week (first the remaining houses in central campus, then the Quad, and finally the houses located on the north side of Elm Street), the system won't be perfected until mid-November. MediaOne, says Nickles, "will be balancing [the signal] for a couple weeks. The picture quality will improve as they fine-tune the network. During those two weeks, there may be occasional outages for a few minutes at a time as they fix splices and replace equipment to get it totally balanced. We'll have excellent picture quality when we're done." While cable access costs about $30 a month for residents of Northampton, Smith students are getting their lineup for free. It will be accessible to anyone with a cable-ready television and a coaxial cable (available for sale at the Computer Store, Stoddard Hall 22). Daily television listings will be posted on a new Smith Web site: www.smith.edu/cabletv. ScoreBoard Soccer Field Hockey Volleyball Equestrian Crew Cross Country PeopleNews will return next week. Sources of further information, if any, are indicated in parentheses. Notices should be submitted by mail, by e-mail (mstanton@colrel.smith.edu) or by fax (extension 2174). College Wide IS Day Fall Preview Day Prospective students will have an opportunity to attend classes, learn about the Career Development Office and financial aid, visit a house and meet students and faculty. There will also be a panel discussion for students undecided about a major. The formal program ends at 1 p.m. with lunch in Davis, but guests may attend classes or observe athletic practice in the afternoon. About 180 visitors (students and parents) are expected.
