Renovation ofHonnold Library Building- more than a face lift · ..
On Saturday, May 13,2000, as the last Spring exam began at 2: 00 p. m., a caravan of moving vans began backing up to the Dartmouth Avenue loading dock of Honnold Library. Twenty- eight hours and six vans fully loaded with library furniture later, the doors between the second and third floor library bridges and the Honnold building were closed and secured. With extraordinary
effort on the part of library staff, including student assistants, along with rhe assistance of cue Physical Plant, cue Facilities, and outside vendots, we had met our first Renovation deadline.
On Monday, May 15, 2000, the building was turned over to the renovation
contractors. On that day, the " shrink wtapping" of books and journals located in Honnold began in order to protect them from the dust and debris of the project. Over the next several weeks, library staff and other curious onlookers watched tons of concrete, drywall, ductwork, and other materials being removed from the building. Almost simultaneously with this work, the reverse process began with arrival of newly fabricated vents and pipes. Later came n w lighr fixrures, c iling tiles, drywall, and other building materials.
Unfortunately, as Connections goes to press, it appears unlikely we will meet our next important deadline- reclaiming the building from the contractor
prior to the beginning of Fall classes.
Even so, our goal is to re- open the building as soon as possible, although this may mean initially providing access only to selected areas.
Our first priority is access to bound journals. In the newly renovated building, you will find a much improved aesthetic environment for study, research, and reflectioIT. From a practical standpoint, there will be new lighting, air conditioning
system, and restrooms that are ADA- accessible. Throughout the Fall semester, and as expediently as possible, library services and public area furniture
will be returned to the building. Watch our web site ( http:// voxlibris. claremont. echJhm/ cefa. html), flyers, signs in the library buildings, and your campus e- mail for updates.
Regardless of any slippage in the renovation schedule, we are committed to providing you with all library services. If materials you need are housed in Honnold and temporarily unavailable, we will provide them through other means. To get assistance or answers to questions, drop by a service desk in any of our library buildings or call the Information Desk at 621- 8150. ""

Business Resources on the Uleb
The Libraries are pleased to announce changes in both the content
and presentation of business resources. There have been new databases
added, as well as changes to the interfaces of many of the major databases
that will make them easier to use. We are also purchasing some new types of books for the business and management students.
First, you may notice an increase in the number and type of business books being purchased for the Libraries' collections. We are adding books containing case studies and practice guides with multimedia materials available for checkout. We are also adding materials concerning well- known companies such as Home Depot, and biographical information about prominent busines. s figures such as Peter Drucker and Bill Gates.
Another new collection in the Libraries is nerLibrary, an electronic book library. netLibrary can be located
on the Libraries' web site at http:// voxlibris. claremont. edu/ research/ ebooks. htm!. Several dozen ebooks in the area of business and management have been purchased for our netLibrary
collection. netLibrary's ebooks mav be " checked our" and read online or do~ nloaded to your home or office computer.
The biggest change to database access is in the interface for ASI Inform, our main index to business periodicals. The new interface, Proquest,
replaces access through OVID. The database is expanded to include full text articles; unfortunately, the " Link to Holdings" option is not available in Proquesr. The Proquest interface also features graphics which were not available in OVID. ABI

PERSPECTIVE
~ riety - I love it!
Variety is the spice of life and that is what makes Special Collections a wonderful place in Honnold/ Mudd Library.
A faculty member wanted to look at an 18th century dictionary, so I showed him Samuel Johnson's A Dictional)
1 ofthe English Language ( 1755). A Pomona student wondered what Student Life looked like in the 1920' s; a CMC student wanted to see the first yearbook, A) ler ( 1948); and a visiting researcher wanted to know about the governance of the Claremont Colleges. For that one I had to ask, in 1925? or now? And, as to name changes, I told him I would need more time to gather that information as we have had quite a few! In Special Collections a Scripps class studied Diderot's Encyclopedie ( 17 volumes, 1751- 65); a Pitzer linguistics class compared the use of language in early schoolbooks; and HMC Humanities classes have looked at medieval manuscripts and our Columbian Printing Press ( circa 1870). A variety of people and resources - I love it.

September 27
Keeping Chili Powder Out ofTheir Eyes: Theater for Social Change in India
Betty Bernhard, Professor ofTheater and Chair of the Dept. ofTheater and Dance, Pomona College Keck Learning Room, Honnold/ Mudd
How can theater help change society? For the dramatist, director, or actor desiring social change, poverty,
imperialism, racism, prejudice, the persecution of women or class, environmental
damage, even average, dayto-
day stereotypes are all forms of oppressive monologue that can be transfo me t ro 19h inreracri c drama into dialogue. For Berry Bernhard, Professor
of Theater at Pomona College, the specific stage of social change has been the subcontinent of India, where she has studied and worked with theater activists in rural and urban areas of Calcutta, Chennai, and Ahmedabad. In her lecture, Professor
Bernhard will recount the history
of Indian activist theater and discuss the encounter of an ancient society steeped in traditions with the drama that would dare ask questions ofit. Her research in India has resulted
in four documentary videos on Indian foLk, classical and modern theatre
and a CD- ROM archive of photographs
and videos of the " Bhavai: Folk Theatre of Gujaut." She has recently completed a featW'c documentary on women theatre activists of India and is currently writing a book on the subject.
The lecture, based on an article of the same title in the Seagull Theatre
Quarterly, will include video clips of recent performances. Professor Bernhard's
directing credits include professional
grand opera, Shakespeare, Brecht, Sam Shepard, Fornes, MilchaScott,
and Churchill, contemporary American plays, collaborative original
plays, and works by women of color. She is a frequent presenter at conferences and workshops both nationally and abroad.

The WOman Who Knew TOo Much: Alice Stewart and the Secrets of Radiation
Gayle Greene, Professor of English and \' lVomen's Studies at Scripps College Keck Learning Room, Honnold/ Mudd
The scientifIc method is perhaps
our most valued way of testing assumptions to reach truth. Science, however, develops its own institutional
establishments and its own deeply ingrained assumptions- assumptions that are often influenced by non- scientific
forces: culture, politics, and business.
Great scientific discoveries are often by going against the grain of science's own assumptions. The ninety-
three year old British research physician
Alice Stewart is a scientist whothrough
a life and career that has paralleled
the twentieth century- has gone against the grain of assumptions, not least of all as a woman in the male institution of science. In 1956, using epidemiological methods frowned upon by the scientific establishment as non- scientific, she published findings
indicating that one fetal x- ray can double the chance that a child will develop leukemia. It would take twenty- four years for Stewart's discoveries
to become accepted. Meanwhile,
as she fought for their acceptance,
her findings on childhood leukemia led her to look at the wider links between all types of low level dose radiation
and cancer. When she was in her seventies,
she was called in on a study at the Hanford Nuclear facility where here discoveries about the risk to nuclear set her against the nuclear industry and government, and made Alice Stewart into an activist and a hero of the antinuclear movement. Gayle Greene, Professor of English and Women's Studies at Scripps College,
interviewed Alice Stewart in 1994 for another book she was writing
and decided that this was the stOry that needed telling. The result was The WOman who Knew Too Much: Alice Stewart and the Secrets ofRadiation
( 1999: University of Michigan Press). Professor Greene, who got to know Stewart during the writing of what she has called " a collaborative memoir," will share with us highlights
of this remarkable woman's liJe and career. Gayle Greene, a renaissance
woman herself, has managed to combine interests in literature, SCience,
and women's studies in her own teaching and writing career. She is the author of Doris Lessing: The Poetics o/ Change ( 1994: University of Michigan Press) and Changing The StOlT Feminist Fiction and the Tradition
( 1991: Indiana University Press) and coeditor ( with Carolyn Ruth Swift Lenz and Carol Thomas Neely) of The WOman~' Part: Feminist Criticism
ofSha/ mpeare ( I980: University of Illinois Press). Her numerous articles
and reviews have appeared in such journals and magazines as Studies
of English Literature, Signs, Orbis Litteratum, Shakespeare Quarterly, Women s Review of Books, MS. The Nation, and In These Times. November 1

' Do these people even speak?".. Perceptions and Stereotypes of, like you know, American Dialects in
California.
Carmen Fought, Assistam Professor of Linguistics, Pitzer College Keek Learning Room, Honnold/ Mudd
Our auirudes about dialecrsour
own and those of orhers- inevitably
shape our perceptions of the ' right' and ' wrong' way ( 0 speak. Through a relatively new research technique called " perceprual dialectology",
sociolinguists have been srudying
the ' memal maps' that peop, le have of such questions as: Where 10 the coumry is the ' best' English spoken?
What are the boundaries of ' the Midwest'? What stereorypes do people
associate with Southern speech? In her research, Carmen Fought, Assistant Professor of linguistics at Pitzer CoUege, has focused p rricularly
on Californians and their sociolinguistic
view of the world. As home to one of the most famous ( and lampooned) dialects in the nation'
Valley Girl' speech- and as melting pot of many cultures and languages, California is rich linguistic territory. How do Californians perceive their own speech? How do they perceive the rest of the coun try? In the lecture,
we will look at the imeresting and sometimes very amusing characteristics
of Californians' linguistic ' map' of the United States. Professor Fought has presemed several papers, and has published in American Speech and The journal of Sociolinguisti~ s, with forthcoming essays to appear 10
The Handbook of Variation and Change, The Handbook of Percettual Dialectology, and The journal oj Current
Anthropology. Her wide ranging research and teaching interests include acquisition ofsecond language phonology
by children; sociolinguistic vanation
in bilingual communities, language
in the media, and Chicano English.
Her dissertation looked at the English and Spanish of young adult Chicanos.

The Art ofPolitical Warfare
John Pitney, Associate Professor of Government, Claremont McKenna College Keck Learning Room, HonnolclJMudd
How do political convictions aet translated ineo practical politics?
b
How do idealistic people transform themselves imo realistic politicians? If you believe in a policy, how do go about implememing it in the real world? One way eo answer these questions
might be to look towards military
strategy. John J. Pitney, Associate
Professor of Government at Claremont
McKenna College, noticed how plentiful military metaphors are. in cvcl) rday political discourse and deCided
to turn Clausewitz on his head by exploring domestic politics as the continuation
of war by other means. In our post- presidential election lecture, Professor Pitney will expound upon his new book, The Art of Political Warftre ( Universiry of Oklahoma, September 2000), which he describ~ s as a " unique field manual for polItics."
Combining the roles of inside political participant and scholar of go~ ernment,
there is no one more emInently
qualified eo be our guide to the battlefields of politics than Jack Pimey, who has served as senior domestic policy
analyst for the US House Republican Research Committee and acting director
for the Research Department of the Republican National Commiuee. His list of publications, both scholarly
and popular, is several pages long and includes essays in many , colleccontinued

Quite a different project by Claremont Graduate School Professor
of Education John Regan and scholars from China concerns the William Pettus Papers which are in the California College in China Collection.
The California College in China was first established in 1910 in Peking as the North China Union Language School, a school for English-
speaking missionaries, businessmen,
and diplomats. The California Colleae in China Foundation was
b
incorporated in 1930 by William B. Pettus " for the training of Americans in knowledge of China, its civilization,
language and trade customs." With the Japanese invasion of China in World War II, Pettus moved the College to the UC Berkeley campus in 1942. Later the College's books and Pettus' papers came [ Q the Claremont
Graduate School ( now Claremont
Graduate University). Professor
Reaan has been studying the Pet-
b
tus papers in an effort to find connections
to Claremont and Claremont
scholars with the California College in China.
Professor Regan and his Chinese colleagues have discovered that Pettus corresponded with such notable figures
as General Joseph Stilwell, Pearl
S. Buck, Dr. Hu Shih, Ambassador to the U. S., U. S. Ambassador Leighton Stuart, and Mei Lan Fan, the honored
Beijing opera star. Some of the trustees and overseers of the California
College in China Foundation included General David P. Barrows, Harry Chandler, Pomona College President Charles K. Edmunds, Douglas
Fairbanks, John Carruthers, Mrs.
E. W. Shirk, A. P. Gianni, President Robert G. Sproul, Dr. Seeley G. Mudd, and Dr. Robert A. Millikan.
In an essay entitled " Lost and Forgotten III: A Sino- American Relationship
Reconstructed" by Professor Regan and Wei Jian Zhang, Visiting Pettus Fellow, they explain, " Our intention of this paper is to provide for Western readers information on these people who are almost household
names among the Chinese people...
In addition, this paper will argue for the importance of reestablishing
the memory of what was, in some ways, a golden era of exchange, respect, and appreciation across the Pacific. "
The California College in China Papers include 14 boxes of correspondence,
College files, minutes . of the Board of Directors, finanCial statements, and reports and recollections
about the Japanese invasion of China. Professor Regan began investigating
the William B. Pettus papers in 1994 and continues today to research the contribution and influences of Pettus and the Califo nia College in China to the United States and China.
