At its November meeting the Board of Trustees approved a three-year pilot program to offer co-educational, college-level summer courses at Wellesley College beginning this summer. Dean of the College Nancy Kolodny, who spearheaded the project, said that a survey of faculty and students in September yielded overwhelming support for summer school classes at Wellesley.
As of October 1, 1998, responses were received from 108 faculty and 876 students; 74 percent of faculty being very positive, 83 percent of students being either somewhat or very interested in the concept. Since 1994, a yearly average of 252 summer school courses have been transferred for credit toward the degrees of Wellesley students.
The co-ed component, Kolodny explained, will be comparable to the current exchange program Wellesley has with area institutions during the academic year, in which both male and female students can enroll and attend Wellesley classes. Wellesley will continue to award degrees only to female students.
For the pilot year of 1999, summer school enrollment will be limited to 250 students, Kolodny said, adding that the size and scope of the program will expand over time. She anticipates 70 to 80 percent of this summer's students will be from Wellesley College.
Kolodny said the goal is to have 100 percent of the summer school curriculum taught by Wellesley faculty. They will teach existing courses, mostly at the introductory level.
Approximately 15 courses will be offered this summer, most in the first session that will run mid-June through early-July. The second session will run mid-July through early August.
At present, Wellesley rents its facilities during the summer to a number of programs including Exploration, a camp for middle school and high school students. The College also co-sponsors an Upward Bound program with MIT, and conducts its own two-week Summer Enrichment Program for about 50 entering students. These programs will not be disrupted by the pilot program, Kolodny said.
Now that the Trustees have approved the plan, Kolodny said the next step is to appoint an administrative and faculty director and finely tune the scope of the program, including curriculum, faculty, size, tuition and fees, as well as beginning the marketing effort to attract students.

Professor Marjorie Agosín |
Wellesley College Professor of Spanish Marjorie Agosín received the United Nations Association of Greater Boston's Leadership Award for her outstanding contributions to the promotion of international understanding and human rights. During her acceptance speech at a special ceremony in Boston Dec. 2, Agosín read selections of her poems in both English and Spanish. Felice D. Gaer, director of The Jacob Blaustein Institute for the Advancement of Human Rights and a '68 Wellesley alumna, was the keynote speaker at the event that honored Agosín and eight others who have furthered the struggle for human rights around the world. These honorees included: Fox Butterfield of The New York Times, Ira Jackson of BankBoston, U.S. Representative Joseph Moakley, David Rohde of The New York Times, Joshua Rubenstein of Amnesty International, U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic John Shattuck, John Stewart of the John F. Kennedy Library, and Dessima Williams of Brandeis University. A native of Chile and an internationally recognized poet, Agosín is a well-known spokesperson for the plight and priorities of women in Third World countries. Her 1987 book Scraps of Life; Chilean Arpilleras tells of Chilean women who make their struggles known to the world through the exposition of "arpilleras," folk tapestries which tell of their bravery and hardships in the face of oppression. Money from the sale of these handicrafts helps them support families in which the men have been arrested, murdered, or have simply "disappeared." Her book Threads of Hope, Tapestries of Love, continues this story. Agosín's concern for women in Chile has also been the focus of feature articles in The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, Ms. Magazine, and the Barnard Occasional Papers of Women's Issues.

In 1995, Agosín won the Latino Literature Prize for poetry for her book Toward the Splendid City. She also was awarded the Letras de Oro Prize for poetry, presented by Spain's Ministry of Culture and the North-South Center of the University of Miami, for her book Noche Estrellada. Her most recent works include a collection of poetry on the theme of human rights titled An Absence of Shadows. Her book Uncertain Traveller, about Jewish women and the immigrant experience in the United States, will be published in 1999.
A member of the Wellesley faculty since 1982, Agosín teaches a variety of courses in Spanish language and Latin American literature. Next semester, she will be teaching two courses: The Writer and Human Rights in Latin America, and Creative Writing in Spanish.

One day after President Diana Chapman Walsh announced a new policy to make all residence halls smoke-free starting next summer, the advisory committee charged with developing a plan to implement the policy held its first meeting. The committee, comprised of students and staff members and chaired by Director of Residence June Murphy-Katz, plans to submit a draft report, including research on other institutions, to President Walsh by March. After President Walsh reviews the draft report, the committee will finalize its proposal and submit it for the president's review and approval by the conclusion of the spring semester.
Dean of Students Geneva Walker-Johnson told committee members that their task is to "create the best possible living environment for both smoking and non-smoking students" while adhering to President Walsh's stated policy.
Committee members laid out a number of topics that they will explore as they develop their recommendations. Several committee members stated that students and staff in residence halls need more information on the administrative difficulties involved in Wellesley's current smoking policies. For example, as Murphy-Katz noted, it is sometimes difficult to find Resident Advisors who are willing to serve on a smoking floor, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to accommodate students' wishes to live in a smoke-free environment. Several committee members noted that students would appreciate more information about why the change in policy is being made.
In addition to studying the practical issues involved in the policy, such as notifying prospective students of the change in policy and the issue of smoking in the summer residence hall, the committee also will explore any legal or civil liberties issues raised by the policy. The group will consider how the policy will be enforced and what sanctions will be applied to violators.
A list of the committee members and contact information will be made available to the campus community so that the group can receive input from all concerned individuals.
President Walsh's memo announcing the new policy can be found on the "Memos" section of her web page: www.wellesley.edu/PublicAffairs/President/president.html.
Dean of Students Geneva Walker-Johnson invites a discussion of this new policy on her Bulletin: DEAN-OF-STUDENTS. Comments written on her Bulletin will be relayed to the committee that will advise President Walsh and Dean Walker-Johnson on this policy.
The Stone Foundation of Cleveland, Ohio will fund a new mental health initiative for children through a $1 million gift to the Stone Center, part of the Wellesley Centers for Women.
The gift honors the wishes of the late Robert S. and Grace W. Stone, who founded the Stone Center for Developmental Services and Studies in 1981 with a generous contribution to Wellesley College.
Speaking on behalf of the Foundation, Linda Stone and Katherine Stone Kaufmann, daughters of the founders, stated,"We are extraordinarily pleased to be able to establish this program in the name of our parents. They had a particular interest in the prevention of emotional problems in children and would be gratified to know that this gift has the potential to make a real difference in promoting healthy psychological development in girls and boys."
The program, to be called "Empowering Children for Life: The Robert S. and Grace W. Stone Primary Prevention Initiatives," will develop and implement innovative interventions to enhance young people's emotional health across the life span. In expressing the Centers' appreciation to the Stone Foundation, Executive Director Susan McGee Bailey noted, "This gift, from a family which already has made such an important contribution to primary prevention through the creation of the Stone Center, is particularly heartening. It strengthens our ability to address critical issues in the psychological development of children and offers opportunities to influence their lives in positive ways."
The gift is part of the Wellesley Centers for Women's national endowment drive, known as the Women's Century Fund. To date, more than $6.2 million toward the $10 million goal has been raised in gifts and pledges from supporters around the country.
This event will feature soloists, chorus, chamber orchestra. and dancers collaborting in the faculty-staff-student performance directed by Claire Fontijn.
Admission is free and open to the public. For more information, call (781) 283-2072.
Dear Members of the Wellesley Community:It is hard to believe that six months have passed since I joined the Wellesley College community. I am very grateful to all of you for the warm welcome you have extended to me, and especially your patience as I try to learn more about the idiosyncrasies of working at Wellesley. I appreciated the opportunity to talk with members of Administrative Council in November, and with AMO (Alliance for Multicultural Organizations) and to share with these groups my reflections on Wellesley College, my more concrete goals for the next eighteen months, and my vision of Human Resources at Wellesley. Each time I have had an opportunity to speak with you in small and large groups I get a better sense of the concerns, needs, and hopes of the staff. Please keep talking with me and my staff &endash; invite us to your staff meetings. Stop by our Green Hall office ä check out our bulletin board introducing new staff, or the newer one which features some great pictures of recent WC events. We would like to use this HR page of The Illuminator as an opportunity to inform you of HR sponsored activities in the College or general information which would be helpful to all of you. Please encourage your colleagues to use this as an information resource and let us know what information would be most helpful. By February we should have our "Working @ Wellesley" HR website ready to roll which will feature not only open positions and how to apply, but also benefits and training information for all. I'd like you to be aware of some of the HR initiatives which are underway. The most visible was your receipt of a comprehensive description of your benefits and total compensation last month. This statement should serve as a learning tool for you as you think about how to take full advantage of the competitive benefits which Wellesley offers. This month you will receive a benefits survey to help us get a sense of the importance of these benefits to you in order to continually monitor our benefits package to be sure it is serving its primary purpose: to attract and retain a competitive workforce. I encourage you to take the time to thoughtfully fill this out. The survey will be distributed and results tabulated by an outside consultant so that all responses will be completely anonymous and confidential. On the employment and training front, we are reexamining many aspects of our employment processes in order to support hiring managers more effectively and examine ways for expanding our recruitment pool to a more diverse population. We will be completing a hiring manual to be distributed sometime early in the new year. A program was held Dec. 7 for key managers who attended a Leadership Training program several years ago led by the Napier Group. The purpose of this program is to focus on what we need to support our development as effective supervisors. With the hope that everyone can enjoy an extra break after the pressures of bringing the fall semester to a close, Wellesley College will be closed this year on Wednesday, Dec. 23 , Thursday, Dec. 24, and Friday, Dec. 25. In addition, the College will close at noon on Thursday, Dec. 31. The 23rd and the half day on the 31st are unscheduled bonus holidays. With best wishes, Eloise See McGawDirector of Human Resources

Frequently Asked Questions ...Q: What is a Supplemental Retirement Account (SRA)? A: An SRA allows you to save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. (Money directed through salary reduction into one of these accounts is subject to FICA taxes.) All benefits-eligible employees may enroll in an SRA plan with either Calvert, Fidelity or TIAA-CREF. Q: What do I have to do to start an SRA? A: If you have never had a Supplemental Retirement Account, you will need to complete an application for the account to which you want your money directed as well as a reduction agreement which will allow the College to deduct this money from your pay. Applications and reduction agreement forms are available from The Human Resources Office. For further assistance with this process you may contact Valerie Gaines at x2447 or Eleanor Tutty at x2215. Q: Is there a minimum and maximum amount by which I may reduce my pay? A: The minimum amount is $25.00 per month. The maximum annual amount permitted by the IRS is $10,000. However, the maximum an employee may contribute is a function of a percentage of salary based on several IRS limits, the College's past and present contributions to an employee's regular retirement account, as well as an employee's own contributions to supplemental retirement accounts. (Other limits may apply if an employee has more than 15 years service with the College.) For those employees who wish to maximize their salary reduction amount for 1999, worksheets to help in obtaining that SRA maximum calculation from TIAA-CREF's TDA (tax-deferred annuity) toll-free number are available in the Human Resources Office-Benefits. These worksheets are also helpful for exempt employees who wish to shelter their cash adjustment. Q: What is a cash adjustment? A: Exempt staff and faculty who receive a cash adjustment will see this on their pay stubs as "Ca Adj." This cash adjustment is part of the College's commitment to their retirement funding and is paid as cash. It is important for anyone receiving a cash adjustment to make sure that at least an equivalent dollar amount is being redirected into a supplemental retirement account in order to keep the College's commitment to their retirement funding whole. Q: Is there a deadline for SRAs to be effective Jan. 1, 1999? A: The deadline for salary reduction agreements for both new and existing Supplemental Retirement Accounts effective 1/1/99 is 4:30 p.m., Friday, December 11. In any subsequent month, the SRA agreement needs to be received by our office by the 15th of any month in order to be effective on the first of the following month. |
Lower Loan Interest RatesDo you or one of your dependents have an outstanding student loan? For a limited time, graduates can consolidate their loans at a new low interest rate, but only if they apply by January 31, 1999. Through loan consolidation, you or your dependent can combine some or all of an outstanding student loan into one loan, in most cases at a lower interest rate. The consolidation is available through the US Department of Education. A fact sheet on the program is available at the Human Resources Office. Don't delay &emdash; you must apply by January 31, 1999.

Former students from as far back as the Class of 1960, scores of faculty, family and friends turned out en masse for the October 10th retirement party and symposium for Marshall I. Goldman, whose long, vibrant and successful career began here at Wellesley in 1958. Goldman, the Kathryn Wasserman Davis Professor of Russian Economics at Wellesley and the Associate Director of the Davis Center for Russian Studies at Harvard University, is an internationally recognized authority on Russian economics, politics, and environmental policy. Guest speakers during the event included: Susan Rose Ackerman '64, Cecilia Conrad '76, Barbara Fraumeni '72, Eileen Kaufman '66, Helen Ladd '67, Alice Tepper Marlin '66, Alicia Munnell '64, and Evan Sue Schouten '76, all of whom have pursued careers in economics. A consulting editor to the journals Current History and Environmental Conservation, Goldman's expertise also is highly sought by the media. He often writes for such publications as Current History, Foreign Affairs, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Harvard Business Review. His articles also have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, and Science magazines. He is also a frequent guest on "Good Morning America," and has appeared on "The MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour," "Crossfire," "Face the Nation," "The Today Show," and "Nightline." He writes regularly for the Russian newspapers, Moscow News and The Moscow Times, and is often heard on National Public Radio. Goldman also enjoys speaking to alumnae groups throughout the country and does so often. In November he spoke to an alumnae group in Philadelphia; in February he will speak to groups in Tampa and Naples, Florida. But teaching has always been his passion, an energy and commitment from which Wellesley students have benefited for some 40 years.

"I love teaching. As long as there is interest, I'm happy to teach one course a year at Wellesley." Marshall Goldman |
Q: How did you first become interested in Russia and its economy?
A: My interest can be traced to a course on comparative economic systems I took as an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, which, coincidentally, is a course I'm teaching at Wellesley this semester. I enjoyed the course and the instructor encouraged me to continue. I was attracted to the notion of a Marxist system and the ideological aspect of it which called for the making of a better world. I wanted to see if this is really what happened and soon enough I discovered it wasn't.
Q: Do you still perceive Russia as a superpower in this post-Cold War era?
A: That answer depends upon how you define superpower. Yes, Russia is a superpower if you look at its nuclear capabilities. But it's not, if you look at its economy or its conventional weaponry. The Russian army is in terrible shape. Russia does have the potential to become a superpower again, of course, because it is such a large country with a large population of very capable people; but the way they are going, it's going to take a very long time.
You cannot rule it out, though. A man on white horse can come along and say, I'm taking over controls again, going to declare martial law, and I'm going to use the resources that we have not for private use but for state use. This would mean a lot of blood and a lot of opposition, but it could happen. The way they're going, though, things seem to be getting worse, not better.
Q: Do you believe NATO expansion is antagonizing Russia?
A: Yes. If you do a cost-benefit analysis for NATO expansion, it's very hard to see what the benefits are. The Poles are happy; the Hungarians are happy; the Czechs are not quite sure what they want to do, but they are not unhappy. Initially, my feeling was that if the East European countries want expansion, there is no authority that can say they shouldn't do it. The Russians shouldn't have the ability to veto their plans. But, the more I thought about it, (my Russians friends have brainwashed me) they have convinced me that it was a mistake. As they put it, the U.S. won the Cold War, what more does it want from Russia? What is the U.S. trying to prove? And if expansion is benign. how come everyone can join but us? What do [we] have to prove? And if the expansion is benign, how come everybody can join but [them]?
I don't see what the gain is, and we haven't really faced up to the cost yet of transforming the Polish army. If something should happen to Poland, there is no chance in the world that the U.S. is going to send troops. There is just a minute chance that we would do something to intervene on their behalf.
All this has made the Russians very upset, very antagonistic. To some extent the foreign policy that existed after Boris Yeltsin took over was unreal. Koserev, who was the Minister of Foreign Affairs then, just was too accommodating and didn't reflect Russian national interest. We should expect Russians will disagree with us on a lot of things; the Japanese and the Canadians disagree with us periodically.
The expansion of NATO from the Russian point of view is going to lead them to challenge us, just to prove that they are strong. It didn't really hit our press all that much, but the things they were saying and are saying about how they would respond if the U.S. intervened in Kosovo were rather scary. Some of it was braggadocio, so nothing was going to come out of it. But some of it was quite upsetting.
Q: Do you think that NATO is an obsolete institution?
A: NATO still has some functions to perform. I think it could still do a job in Yugoslavia and it should be used for that purpose. But, its main function was to restrict Soviet expansion. That's no longer a problem.
Q: Do think it is prudent to extend the security blanket to these new countries?
A: I can understand their position, that they feel threatened and to some extent they do need some protection against the Russians. But by pushing NATO this way, I am not sure what protection we can really give them. If anything, it will serve as an irritant of the Russians, which may not be evident immediately but sooner or later it will come back to haunt us. Some of these things can be suppressed for a long time and then Bam! "We'll teach you to put NATO in our face."
Sure they have got to have some concerns. But right now none of the Eastern European countries have a common border with Russia. Belarus and Ukraine serve as a buffer. Belarus again may prove to be a problem, but the East Eurpoeans don't need NATO directly against Russia right now. I think that there are other ways of providing security for the East Europeans.
Q: What are your plans now that you have retired?
A: I love teaching. As long as there is interest, I'm happy to teach one course a year at Wellesley. Right now, though, there is a lot of interest in what's going on in Russia, so my class is as large as it has ever been, in fact, as large as it was in the Gorbachev era when there was enormous interest. I will continue to speak at a lot of outside functions [The day of the interview, Professor Goldman was off to Washington to speak to the World Bank] and continue at the Davis Center at Harvard.
I hope to keep writing. My current project is a book on privatization, but with all that's been going on in Russia, I haven't worked on it much.
Q: What do you like most about teaching at Wellesley College?
A: First of all the students are bright. But the second thing is that it's fun to watch people absorb ideas that they haven't thought of before. The teaching of Marx is a good example. I'm not interested in having them become Marxists, but if they should meet a Marxist, I want them to be able to understand where that person is coming from and anticipate the ideas, and see where there are holes in their arguments, where there are flaws.
Learning to absorb something truly new can be shaky for a while. You can see this, I've watched it. I have seen it in my own family for that matter. When I began to challenge my family, when my children began to challenge my wife and me, when my students begin to have conflict with their parents. You don't want them to have conflict with their parents, but you want them to be able to do these things, to stand up on their own, to argue. In some cases there is a danger, you may cause a split in families. But at the same time, when that doesn't take place, parents have respect for their children who are standing on both feet and are thinking adults. Children also have more respect for their parents. It is an amazing thing to watch.
Wellesley has been a great place to be. You have to look at everything, the students, the quality of life, the administration and how they treat faculty.
Wellesley attracts the best students, trains and stimulates them in ways that you couldn't do elsewhere. You just couldn't ask for brighter students. It's hard to find a school anywhere that does that as carefully, and as thoughtfully, as Wellesley.

Fans stood on their feet, chanting "One more! One more!" in the deciding game between Wellesley and SUNY-Cortland at the NCAA Division III Women's Quarterfinal at home, Nov. 21. The tense series was tied two all, and each game had been close: 13-15, 15-13, 15-12 and 10-15. Wellesley was trailing 6-9 in the final game when kills from outside hitter Allison Schnitzer '00 helped rally the team to a 14-13 lead. The crowd erupted in jubilation as the kill set-up by Katie Antypas '01, to Audra Hollingsworth '01 earned Wellesley the 15-13 win, advancing the Blue to the NCAA Semi-Finals at Juniata College in Huntington, Pa., Dec. 4. In the first round, Wellesley faced Central College of Iowa (35-2), the number two seed in the nation. Coach Dorothy Webb plans to emphasize the team's strengths in the game against Central, expected to be the most difficult of the year. "The focus is always defense and ball control - the first contact, basically," she said. Central has two excellent hitters on the team, and Webb stated, "A big focus will also be our block; with those two hitters against us, we need a very strong block in order to win." In Webb's six years as Wellesley's coach, the team has improved from a solid, regional team to one of the top 20 squads in the nation. Webb has also intensified recruiting efforts; three of the starters on the team are first-year students. Last year, Wellesley made it to the NCAA Quarter-Finals and ended the season with a 36-2 record.
