Panhell selects new leadership

By Josie Huang | January 15, 1999

The self-governing body of the College's sorority system -- the Panhellenic Council -- unanimously elected Kelly Bodio '00 Wednesday to become the organization's president for the next year. Bodio, who is former summer president of Delta Delta Delta sorority and is also active in Student Assembly, said she is excited about her challenging new role in Panhell. "There is potential to do a lot this term," Bodio said, adding that she "wanted to be involved." Seven other positions were voted upon during elections chaired by outgoing president Cynthia Anderson '99, outgoing Rho Chi Coordinator Jen Anderson '99 and outgoing Judiciary Committee Representative Katy Keller '99. Julie Calderon '01 will serve as interim vice president this winter, filling in for Ashley Wendus '00, a member of Epsilon Kappa Theta sorority who is currently on a leave term. A former Alpha Xi Delta sorority delegate to Panhell, Calderon said that involvement with the Council "is a very good way to represent women on campus." Jessica Ross '00, a former treasurer of EKT and Panhell treasurer for the past two terms, will maintain her current post. Cynthia Anderson said the successes of Panhell during the past year include the lack of unmatched bids during rush -- 100 percent of women completing rush were offered a bid -- improved community service and an effort to "provide more space and activities for women on campus." Anderson said her term as president was marred only by frustrations with her role -- because of a rule that prevents the presidents of Panhell and the Inter-fraternity Council from voting in the CFSC, Anderson said she was unable to participate in decisions regarding alcohol policies and programming standards that affect the entire Greek system.

Last night at the Hopkins Center, Dartmouth bid a song-filled farewell to its graduating seniors. Spaulding Auditorium reverbated with a symphony of sound as the Dartmouth Chamber Singers and the Dartmouth Glee Club performed in the annual Commencement choral concert. The Chamber Singers took to center stage first with a program noteworthy for its a cappella nature and diversity of style. The group took on Italian madrigals by American William Hawley, Rennaissance works by Englishmen Thomas Morely and Thomas Weelkes and a couple of French choral works by famed composer Claude Debussy. Seniors stepped into the limelight on several occasions. The works of Spanish composer Gaspar Fernandez featured the lovely voices of soloists Emily McConnnell '97 and Marie Pauline Esguerra '97.
