"It has all happened so fast, and right during midterms, that I feel that I haven't fully appreciated it yet," said Kim Venn, the Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy and one of 20 winners of the 2000 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. Venn took a trip to Washington, D.C., in order to receive the award ....

The good old days, or why to fear Bush

by Barb Wells-Howe

I am the voice of Macalester past (Class of '72)-the era of big-time liberalism-marked most notably by antiwar protests. We didn't have the vote as 18-year-olds, but we still followed elections with great interest, believing passionately in our views and insisting that our voices be heard. I'm also the voice of Macalester present, since I work on campus (and have done so since 1980, before a lot of you were even born). I've followed the Macalester campaign rhetoric through faithful reading of the Weekly. I'm lucky enough to work with several Macalester students, and, in fact, I had a great political discussion earlier today ...

Football remains winless in MIAC play

by Emily M. Anderson

The Macalester football team continued to struggle in its two most recent contests. The Scots had their best offensive performance of the season as they took on St. Thomas on Sat., Oct. 21, but fell short 38-28. They then traveled to St. Olaf on Sat., Oct. 28, where they fell victim to their own mistakes in a 34-10 loss. The Scots never held the lead in the St. Thomas contest, but were able to keep things exciting until the end in a close game. .....

Scheduling has been tight in the counseling office of Winton Health Services since the departure of Associate Director and head counselor Janet Schank in October. The office has been swamped, first with students coming to get in one last counseling session with Schank, and now trying to squeeze in appointments with a smaller staff. Schank's successor, Ted Rueff, will begin working full-time later this month. Schank left to begin her new career as a Community Assistant and Counseling Supervisor with the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, a nonprofit health and human services organization serving Ramsey County. She submitted her resignation on Oct. 6, immediately after she received the job offer.....

Women's soccer wins fourth straight MIAC Championship

by Jordan Becker

Before the 2000 season began, few thought the Macalester women's soccer team would be capable of reproducing the success of its last three seasons. Despite these doubts, the youthful Scots, ranked eighth in the nation, have become MIAC champions for the fourth consecutive season and will make their sixth straight NCAA Division III Championship Tournament appearance this afternoon in Illinois. "This is the most satisfying [conference championship] out of any I have won," Head Coach John Leaney said. ...
