Tibetan Monks advocate for compassion, harmony
Grad students
commended during week of appreciation
Cleanup event bonds campus and Bethlehem
By JACQUELINE TENREIRO
Graduate students were treated to several days’ worth of pampering, dining and workshops as Lehigh and the Graduate Life Office celebrated Graduate Student Appreciation Week.
A national event established in 1993 by the National Association of Professional and Graduate Students, the week has been recognized and celebrated on Lehigh’s campus since the founding of the Graduate Life Office in 2001, said Director of Graduate Life Kathleen Hutnik.
According to Hutnik, the week’s planning takes place at least a month in advance, with the Graduate Life Office sponsoring and spearheading the effort.
The Graduate Student Senate contributes with volunteering, advising and planning of at least one event — this year’s being Friday night’s Karaoke Happy Hour.
“The ethos of the Graduate Life Office is that if people are healthy, connected, appreciated and supported, they will more likely be academically successful,” Hutnik said with regard to the most rewarding aspect of working in her office, particularly as the appreciation week continues.
“If my office can offer support that contributes to students achieving their goals, then we’ll do whatever we can,” she said.
Festivities kicked off on Monday with a mashed potato bar, followed by a pizza taste-off on Tuesday, where attending graduate students sampled and voted on pies from

Members of the Lehigh community gather to view a group of Tibetan monks’ handmade sand mandala Thursday. The monks spent two days working on the mandala to promote awareness about Tibetan Buddhist culture.

Beginning Thursday morning, students were amazed to see a group of monks from Tibet’s Drepung Gomang Monastery working on a handmade sand mandala in the rotunda of Linderman Library.
The monks are now in exile in the Indian state of Karmataka due to the current political situation in Tibet. Some of them have not been able to see their families for more than 15 years.
They shared their experiences of being refugees for decades.
These Monks are traveling throughout the United States for a year to spread awareness about ancient Tibetan Buddhist culture and raise money for Deputy Gomang Monastic University.
The sand mandala can be described as a symbol of compassion, which is the most important religious practice in Tibet. For Tibetan Buddhists, compassion is sensitivity to the suffering of others and attempts to relieve anyone who suffered.

The “Southside Cleanup” took place in South Bethlehem from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday.
The goal of the annual event is to clean up the trash left behind from winter.
Teams of volunteers divided up to clean one or more streets, each taking its own region.
The Mayor’s Southside task force organizes the event each year.
The task force consists of 30 appointed members who address the problems brought to the mayor and record information pertaining to South Bethlehem.
Dale Kochard, one of the event’s organizers, noted the many organizations that contribute groups and resources to the cleanup.
“It’s for the Southside neighborhood residents, and students, partnership between the city of Bethlehem, Mayor’s South Side Task Force, and local organizations like Lehigh University, the Sands, Northampton Community College, the elementary school and Broughal Middle School,”

“So many of the big questions around the world, and you realize that energy figures in them, whether it’s Ukraine, whether it’s the future of the Middle East, whether it’s U.S.-Chinese relations in the Pacific,” said energy expert Daniel Yergin in an interview with The Brown and White. “Energy’s a big component. On any given day, you read the front page of the news, and you realize that energy’s part of the story.”
Yergin, who will give a lecture on campus tomorrow, is the Vice Chairman of IHS, one of the world’s largest information companies. A respected authority on energy, politics and economics, he is also a Pulitzer-Prize-winning author for his book “The Prize: the Epic
