Glascock Intercollegiate
Poetry Competition
Students who wish to be Mount Holyoke’s contestant in the
2003 Glascock Intercollegiate Poetry Competition should submit
two copies of their work to the English department office, Clapp
201, by 4 pm on Monday, February 24. The poems submitted should
take approximately ten minutes to read aloud. The poet should
leave her name off the copies themselves, but identify herself
in an attached note. The Mount Holyoke student chosen anonymously
by the faculty-student Glascock committee will read her work in
company with students from five other colleges before a public
audience including three poet-judges, Wyatt Prunty, Rhina Espaillat,
and Rachel Wetzsteon. Any questions should be directed to Professor
Robert Shaw at x2444 or x2146.

National College
Health Assessment Survey
The College Health Services will be administering the National
College Health Assessment (NCHA) survey February 19 to a random
sample of 1,050 students who will be on campus this semester.
All students who return their completed surveys will be eligible
for a prize drawing of two $25 credits to their MHC One Card.
The NCHA survey was developed in cooperation with the American
College Health Association to assist institutions of higher learning
to collect data on the health of their students. It will allow
MHC Health Services to generate data on the incidence rates for
a variety of health issues such as alcohol, tobacco, and other
drug use; sexual behavior; body weight and nutrition; and mental
health. The information received from this survey will enable
Health Services to design educational programs and services to
better meet student needs. This survey has been taken by 80,000
students from 107 colleges and universities over the past five
years.
