mock trial team takes first place in national tournament A
team of eight students from Wellesley finished first
place out of 40 teams from around the United States in
the American Intercollegiate Mock Trial Tournament in St.
Petersburg, Fla., in April. The tournament was sponsored
by the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA). Students
on the Wellesley team included Jessica Hass '02, Karen
Long '03, Elizabeth Edwards '04, Kimberly Kolstad '04,
Sabrina Gibson '05, Julia Reed '05, Alanna Clair '05 and
Lindsay Burr '05. aids artwork shows plight of south africa "AIDS
and South Africa: The Social Expression of a Pandemic," a
recent conference at Wellesley, included an art exhibit
created for the event by organizer Kyle Kauffman,
economics, and Marilyn Martin, curator and director of
Art Collections at Iziko Museums of Cape Town, South
Africa. The show remains on display through June 15 in
Pendleton Atrium. Senior
biological sciences major Tasha Teutsch won the 107th
annual hoop-rolling competition against nearly 200
participants. President Walsh (winner of the 1966
hoop-rolling contest) met her at the finish line with a
bouquet of flowers. In keeping with tradition, she was
promptly propelled by her classmates to the edge of Lake
Waban and tossed into the chilly water. Traditionally,
the winner was said to be the first in her class to
marry. Today, victory is seen as a sign that the winner
will be the first to achieve success. contributions will fund scholarships Ask
anyone who works at Wellesley what the best part of
working at the college is and you'll likely hear the same
answer: the students. To provide an opportunity for
employees to demonstrate their support for the college
and its students, the Faculty-Staff-Union Scholarship
Fund for a Wellesley College Student has been
established. see the latest designs for new campus center Open meetings on the campus center and Alumnae Valley restoration project will continue with two sessions this week, May 8 from 9:30-11 am and May 9 from 2-4 pm, in the contemporary gallery of the Davis Museum and Cultural Center.

"This spring, Nausheen Eusuf '02 and I are continuing a wonderful tradition started by (math professor) Bob Milnikel by organizing end-of-semester Bedtime Story events in which faculty and staff members visit student dorm lounges to read them stories over cookies and milk," said Franklyn Turbak, computer science. "Bedtime Stories are a great way to interact informally with the students and help to destress their evenings during this very stressful time of year." Bedtime Stories are read from 9-10 pm through May 13. To volunteer, contact fturbak@wellesley.edu.
