GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

- Strong College Freshmen Elected to Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society -

Alpha Lambda Delta is a national honor society that recognizes academic 
excellence among college freshmen.  The UNCG Chapter recently inducted 
72 new members at a public ceremony in the Elliott Center’s Cone 
Ballroom, and among them were eight Strong College undergraduates: Jamie 
Bailey, Sonja Bunzendahl, Viviane Huestis, Pamela Jackson, Deborah 
McGarry, Cynthia Rotante, Kyle Webster, and Susan Wyant.  Our freshmen 
were not the only ones honored, however: Dr. White was elected to 
honorary membership in the society, and she delivered the keynote 
address for the ceremony!  Congratulations to all!

- The President’s Tea and the Senior Tutor’s Walk -

The President’s Tea, a venerable Strong College tradition, takes place 
every Wednesday in the Junior Common Room from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m.  Since 
the weather is starting to warm and the birds are starting to sing, Dr. 
O’Hara will begin this week another regular Strong College event, The 
Senior Tutor’s Walk, which will immediately follow the President’s Tea 
every Wednesday (right around 5:00 p.m., leaving from the Junior Common 
Room).  After you stock up on cookies and other goodies at Tea you will 
certainly want to take advantage of this opportunity to burn off some 
calories and enjoy and learn about our local Great Outdoors.  Don’t miss 
it!

- And Speaking of Singing Birds… -

Dr. O’Hara (himself a biologist) reports a number of natural history 
observations in the vicinity of our College in the last week.  At our 
bird feeder we have had visits from Carolina Chickadees, House Finches, 
Tufted Titmice, and a particularly regular male Cardinal who seems to 
spend much of his day there.  In the West Woods (visible out the JCR 
window) there was a Red-bellied Woodpecker drilling on one of the trees, 
as well as several Yellow-rumped Warblers and a pair of Ruby-crowned 
Kinglets.  Recently-arrived Common Grackles have been flying over 
Buffalo Creek, and along its banks have been many Dark-eyed Juncos, Song 
Sparrows, Yellow-rumped Warblers, and Chickadees.  (What?  You haven’t 
seen the Red-bellied Woodpecker yet?  Well then come on the Senior 
Tutor’s Walk this Wednesday and maybe he will put in an appearance.)

- News of Members -

Derek Fernandes has been appointed a Sales Representative for the 
Carolinian — and Derek also donated two coins from his home country of 
Trinidad and Tobago to our College coin collection.  Congratulations, 
and thank you!

Second floor RA Allen Frady made his seventh straight Dean’s List, and 
has been elected to the Sigma Theta Tau honor society.  Well done!

- Poem-of-the-Week -

The Strong College Poem-of-the-Week appears on the bulletin board 
outside the College Office.  This week’s poem is Rudyard Kipling’s
“The Sleepy Sentinel” (1919):

      Faithless the watch that I kept: now I have none to keep.
      I was slain because I slept: now I am slain I sleep.
      Let no man reproach me again, whatever watch is unkept—
      I sleep because I am slain.  They slew me because I slept.
