GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

- The First Annual Buffalo Creek Regatta!  This Week! -

The Great Regatta is upon us!  Whether you enter a boat or not, be sure 
to be outside this Wednesday between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. on the golf
course in Peabody Park behind Moore-Strong Hall for the festivities!
Dr. White and Dr. O’Hara have collected an assortment of Fabulous
Prizes!  Dr. O’Hara also has quite a few pieces of surplus styrofoam
left for anyone who hasn’t yet begun construction.  A team of dedicated
posters has blanketed the campus with announcements (and more will be
coming the day or two before the event), and a table will be set up
near the Caf on Monday evening to solicit entries from all over.  Win
fame and fortune!  Enter the Great Buffalo Creek Regatta!

- It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s… -

Dr. O’Hara saw a flying squirrel one evening this past week in the woods 
next to the Gove Health Center, just across the street from Strong 
College.  If you keep your eyes open to the world around you who knows 
what you might see.  (Have you noticed the Mourning Dove nest in one of 
the flowering trees on College Avenue, a nest that hundreds of people 
walk by every day?)  And have you seen the Brown Thrasher in our West 
Woods?

- News of Members -

Derek Maynard donated a complete set of Japanese coins to our rapidly 
growing foreign coin collection.  Many thanks to Derek!

Strong College Fellow Charles Lyons, Director of the Office of 
International Programs, has received a two-year grant from the United 
States Information Agency to support student exchanges with Poland.  
Congratulations!

Elizabeth Robinson will be an exchange student in England at the 
University of Hull next year.  (And we intend to keep her apprised of 
what’s going on back home in Strong College by regular email.)  
Congratulations to Elizabeth!

- “Focus” Program a Great Success -

The University Admissions Office ran a very successful Focus Program 
last Friday for prospective UNCG students.  Dr. White extends special 
thanks to Strong College undergraduates Woto Nyomba, Kathy Ross, Brad 
Rosenthal, Sherrill Hayes, and Tim Owens who gave tours of Moore-Strong 
Hall and encouraged many fine high school students here for the Focus 
Program to apply to join us next year.

- Library Vacancies -

As a result of some students’ schedule rearrangements there are now a 
few uncovered hours in the Strong College Library schedule.  If you 
would like to join our group of volunteer librarians (and have a good 
opportunity to concentrate your studying for two or three hours each 
week) please speak to Dr. O’Hara in the College Office.  The Library is 
kept open thanks to the dedicated efforts of all of our volunteers; 
here’s your chance to make an important contribution to the life of 
Strong College.

- Poem-of-the-Week -

This week’s Poem-of-the-Week is the anthem of the Cornelian Literary 
Society, one of the three student societies founded by Charles Duncan 
McIver and Edwin Alderman in the earliest years of our University:

          In joy and praise come let us sing
            With anthem clear and strong;
          Let all Cornelian voices ring
            In free, exultant song
          Of pride for that fair name we bear—
            Cornelian! glorious word
          To make us gladly do and dare,
            Whene’er ’tis gladly thought, whene’er ’tis heard.

          We’ll onward, upward ever move,
            Our footsteps forward pressed;
          Together move in sister-love
            Unto the mountain’s crest,
          To gain the fair, wide spreading view
            Which round the mountain lies,
          And gives us understanding new,
            Enlightening our eager eyes.

          May Cornelia’s name have ne’er a stain
            From any daughter’s deed.
          For her all glory will we gain
            And give her honors meed;
          For firm and staunch we e’er will stand
            Unto each other true,
          And loyal to our noble band,
            Hers—yea, her own, our whole lives through.
