environment. The day starts at Holyoke High School at 7 am. Lunch
is at Dean Technical School, and the day ends there at 2:30 pm.

German University Exchange Competition Reopened
Spaces are still available for students to study on exchange at
the University of Bonn and the University of Potsdam for the 2003–2004
academic year. Applicants must be proficient in German (ordinarily
at least two years of German language study). Preference will
be given to undergraduate students receiving financial aid from
the College, but nonaided students and graduating seniors are
also eligible to apply. Exchange students receive a tuition waiver
and a stipend toward basic living expenses from the host university.
To apply, submit Mount Holyoke's request to study abroad
form (including the study proposal and faculty recommendation),
plus an essay, in German, describing your interest in the exchange;
completed applications are due in the Office of International
Affairs, Mary Lyon, room 303, by Monday, March 3.
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
Laboratory, room 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.
