Woman with
a Plan According
to a story in the April 13 Sunday Republican, junior
Molly Gower’s stint as administrative fellow in the South
Hadley selectmen’s office has been very helpful to the town.
Gower presented the Board of Selectmen with a proposal to adjust
many of the fees the town charges—for anything from birth
certificates to liquor licenses—to raise new revenues for
South Hadley. Gower, the first Mount Holyoke student to work with
town hall under a new program to coordinate administrative fellowships
off campus, undertook a survey of fees charged by similar towns
throughout the commonwealth. After her presentation at a recent
meeting of the board, board member Carlene C. Hamlin called Gower’s
work “tremendous.” Gower has worked at town hall all
year. She is one of two administrative fellows working in town
through the efforts of the Career Development Center; senior Christie
Caywood has worked as an administrative fellow in the office of
the South Hadley superintendent of schools for the past year and
a half. (Note: the Career Development Center is accepting applications
now for these two administrative fellowships for the next academic
year. The CDC is also accepting applications for on-campus administrative
fellow positions. Position descriptions are posted at http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/careers/seo/admin.htm.

Well Versed The eightieth annual Kathryn Irene Glascock
Intercollegiate Poetry Contest was featured in the “Bookmarks”
column of the April 23 Daily Hampshire Gazette. Arts
editor Larry Parnass spoke with organizer Brad Leithauser, Emily
Dickinson Senior Lecturer in the Humanities, and quoted from “O
Matins on a Rough Hill,” a poem by Olivia Bustion ’03,
who represented the College in the contest. “It’s
got a very distinguished history,” Leithauser said of the
contest. “One never knows whether this particular group
of college students is going to be heard from again.” He
added that some of the contestants from previous years “are
startingly in control of what they are up to.” This year,
Rachel Gainer, a student at George Washington University, won
the Glascock, and second place went to Billy Lopez of Amherst
College.
