Abstract
This newsletter contains information on concerns expressed in the Mount's brief on pornography, amnesty campaigns for women, a crab apple tree planted for women struggling with human rights, Mount tourism reaching out to the tourism industry financially, promoting women in science, Judy Manchester's reception of a scholarship, the possibility of holding a pornography workshop, a learning seminar, and a classified ad on items for sale and being given away for free. The alumnae update includes information on the alumnae fair, detailing the various activities and prizes to be won during the event. There is also a letter from Sheila Brown to CBC's Peter Gzowski regarding her experiences during wartime as a reflection of the Cold War experiences during her time. The newsletter also discusses how the new council on university education should determine universities' role, the role of fantasy as 'fuel of the future,' the fact that the Mount was invited to a meeting held by the Bedford Basin Branch of the Canadian Federation of University Women, and the support offered for raising funds for the Mount's Science Society. There are also sections on Mount faculty being keen on peace studies, the continued legacy of Greenham Commons, students named to the Dean's List, and a boy who wrote a letter to God asking for $100.00, which prompted a humorous response from the Prime Minister in which $1.00 was sent back. There is also an opinion piece on commentators on North American society, a dinner theatre at the Atlantic University Teachers of English Conference, female students hanging back from employment, faculty appointments to new positions, meetings attended, and public lectures, the opening of gallery exhibits by the Lieutenant-Governor, and a list of times for the presentation of Charles Schulz's musical 'Snoopy.' There is also a 'What's New' section discussing the experience of being a woman according to the Bridgetown Weekly Monitor from May 10 1882.
