GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

- The Senior Tutor’s Award -

Strong College is an academic community, and one of its reasons for 
being is to encourage academic excellence among its members.  In keeping 
with the goals of our College, Dr. O’Hara will present this week the 
first Senior Tutor’s Awards to those Strong College undergraduates who 
distinguished themselves during the Fall of 1994 by achieving a semester 
grade point average of 3.75 or above.  These awardees will be honored 
this Wednesday at the President’s Tea and presented with a certificate 
in recognition of their achievement.  The recipients of the Senior 
Tutor’s Award for this past semester are: Lori Allen, Jamie Bailey, 
Flora Baker, Monica Chew, Jennifer Conner, Ashley Dees, Lisa Di Luigi, 
John Ebel, Jill Foard, Allen Frady, Keith Grush, Holly Hampton, Viviane 
Huestis, Pamela Jackson, Della Jenkins, Jared Karro, Derek Maynard, 
Deborah McGarry, Rebecca Morgan, Kathryn Ross, Anna Searcy, Rachel 
Tipping, Rachel Torr, Kyle Webster, Charlotte Williams, Christopher 
Witmore, Susan Wyant, and Rifkin Young.  Congratulations to them all!

- Great Moments in Western Civilization -

Seldom does one have the opportunity to participate in a moment of 
epochal importance for civilization, but this very week that opportunity 
is open to us all.  On Tuesday night from 8:00-10:00 p.m. the new series 
Star Trek: Voyager will premier.  Strong College members are invited to 
convene in the Star Chamber (Room 362) to watch this episode, and to 
inhale the heady atmosphere so they can tell their grandchildren that 
they were there.

- Council President Departs <snif> -

Gina Hutchens, Strong College’s first Council President, will be leaving 
us (alas) to take up a Resident Assistant position in Jamison (which she 
seems to regard as a higher position that the one she has now, something 
that we find difficult to believe).  Gina did a wonderful job getting 
our new Council started completely from scratch at the beginning of the 
year, and has directed it to ever greater heights as the year has gone 
on.  We will miss her, and we do wish her well in her new position.  The 
offices of President and also Treasurer of the Council are now vacant, 
and anyone interested in participating in Council activities should be 
sure to go to the first meeting of the new year, Tuesday night at 10:00 
p.m. in the Committee Room.

- Room Change Information -

Residents of Moore-Strong Hall should watch for posted notices about the 
room change schedule this week.  Changes within the building will be 
dealt with first, and then a small number of new residents will join us 
from outside.  Strong College now has a formal application process just 
like the Residential College in Mary Foust Hall, and the only people who 
will be coming in are those who completed their applications at the end 
of last term and have been accepted by the admissions committee.

- Library Opening Soon -

Susan Wyant and Bob O’Hara and the whole Strong College Library staff 
are working up a schedule for the new semester, and expect to have the 
Library open again soon.  Watch for more news in this space.  In the 
mean time we extend our thanks to Patricia Barrington for her donation 
of several books to the collection, and to Brandi Maxwell for some 
additions to our stamp collection.

- Poem-of-the-Week -

The Strong College Poem-of-the-Week is now appearing on the bulletin 
board outside the College Office.  This week’s poem, in recognition of 
Martin Luther King Day, comes from Winston-Salem native Langston Hughes: 
“Theme for English B” (1951).

- Have a Maintenance Problem in Moore-Strong Hall? -

Remember you can always call the new fix-it line, 334-FIXT (FIXT from 
campus phones), and the maintenance staff will get to it as soon as 
possible.
