Good Scholar
election set to.
kick off
Besides studying, preparing and
educating students to go into the
"real world" after graduation,
Lehigh University also participates in the annual "Good
Scholar Election" to raise money
to support cancer research.
For 10 years, including this
one, the Zeta Psi fraternity has
made this election possible. In
the last nine years, the election
has raised more than $175,000,
which goes directly to the Lehigh
Valley Chapter of the American
Cancer Society and is restricted
to research.
Voting will start for the 10th
annual election on Sunday, Nov.
7 and will continue through
Monday, Nov. 22. Students, faculty and staff can vote for any of
the 46 individuals, each with a
G.P.A. of at least 3.25.
Last year, first place went to
the Martindale Center whose
candidate was Melissa
Rutigliano '99, raising over
$4,400. Second place went to Alpha' Phi sorority and its candidate Jennifer Gorman '99,
making over $3,400. A total of
$33,250 was raised for the 1998
election. This year's goal is
$50,000.
Each candidate's goal is to
raise as many "votes" as possible. Alvin Cohen, coordinator
of the program and professor
emeritus of economics and candidate, is again matching all
"votes" for him dollar for dollar.
For example, if a donation of $5
is given he will give $5 also.
The first place candidate will
be rewarded with an airline
ticket on USAirways to any continental destination. Second
place will receive dinner for four
at the Manor House Inn and
other winners will receive merchandise gift certificates from
the University Bookstore and
Bethlehem Sporting Goods. The
organization with the most cash
votes will receive $1,000 and the
runner up $500 and the third
place finisher, $250.
"The Good Scholar Election
recognizes scholarship, and
makes the organizations work
together for a sociable and desirable goal. It encourages community awareness, (and) it raises
money for cancer research," said
Cohen. This year's election is
dedicated to the memory of S.
Arthur Schachter, adjunct professor, Center for Business Communications.

Many new and redesigned pages
of Lehigh's Web site are nearing
completion, and the campus is
invited to test drive them.
Shaped by feedback from a number of key constituent groups,
this new extension of Lehigh's
Web site offers timely and expanded content, plus enhanced
navigation to help link you to both
new and existing Web pages.
The university relations department, working with many
other campus groups, has created these pages, which will provide greater external visibility,
with a marketing focus.
To get to the new Web site,
click on the link on the current
Lehigh homepage. To ensure a
smooth transition to the new site
for the campus community, a series of frequently asked questions (FAQ's) has been prepared
to provide additional information
on exactly what changes are being made. The plan is to systematically replace selected areas of
the current Web site, such as "news and events,"
"alumni" and "admissions" with the new pages for
each area. These pages will not replace existing
pages for academic departments or administrative
offices, but will provide links to them.

Alumnae return
to help students
When asked what young alumnae took away from Lehigh
when they left, the most common
response was the networking
connections they made while on
campus. Many felt that the
chance to develop networking
systems before they left the university was what helped them to
succeed. With this in mind,
many young, successful women
alumnae are returning to Lehigh
to provide the same opportunity
to current students.
On Tuesday, Nov. 2,15 female
alumnae will return to Lehigh
for the Leaders in Residence Program. This event, spearheaded
by the President's Council of
Women, is an effort to provide
education and dialogue regarding leadership issues faced by
individuals in their lives and
careers.
"The purpose of the event is
to bring back women who have
proven to be successful in their
fields and let them interact with
students to enrich the classroom
experience," said Kathy
Calabrese, the director of the
women's networking center and
a main organizer of the program.
The alumnae will represent
six disciplines of study: chemistry, history, theater, psychology,
journalism and political science.
Tuesdays' events will begin with
alumnae attending classes and
interacting with students for the
day. Classes to be attended
include introduction to American
politics, chemistry, editing, and
environment, the public and the
mass media. At 4 p.m., the alumnae will meet in the U.C. for a
series of Career Forums. Each
forum will combine two disciplines and a career field to discuss how Lehigh helped these
successful women achieve their
goals.
Judge Diane E. Yamin '83
will return to Lehigh to discuss
with students her accomplishments and successes as the first
female and youngest ever judge
elected in Connecticut. Mimi
Castaldi '83, the District of Columbia State Director and a successful campaign manager for a
House of Representatives member from the state of Washington, will speak about political
aspirations and Amy Rose Silver '91, the producer of CNN's
"Burden of Proof will speak
about working with famous television personalities. Twelve
other alumnae will also speak
about their successes as well.
Topics will also include balancing work and play, working in
government and participating in
the political arena, advice about
college and job hunting, as well
as personal experiences of many
