  • Forging a New Path
    FORGING A NEW PATH, SWEET BRIAR TURNS TO THE FUTURE Dear Sweet Briar Alumnae, Throughout this spring semester, distinguished women musicians, writers and policy makers have streamed to the campus, in a series dubbed “At the Invitation of the President.” As you will read in this issue, the series started in January with a remarkable all-women ensemble of scholar-performers dedicated to excavating little-known string trios from the 17th and 18th century, and it ended the semester with a lecture by Bettina Ring, the secretary of agriculture and forestry for the Commonwealth. Sweet Briar was a working farm for most of its history, a fact that does not escape the secretary, both as an important legacy we share and cherish, but also as a resurgent possibility for the future — for Sweet Briar and Central Virginia. Through this series, one learns stunning things about women who shape history. A gradu- ate of Sweet Briar, Delia Taylor Sinkov ’34 was a top code breaker who supervised a group of women who worked silently — under an “omerta” never to be betrayed in one’s lifetime — to break the Japanese navy and army codes and eventually to help win the Battle of Midway. Ultimately, the number of code breakers surpassed 10,000. While America is a country that loves and shines light on its heroes, women have often stayed in the shadow of that gleaming light; they are history’s greatest omission. “Do you like doing the crossword puzzle?” Navy recruiters would ask the potential code breakers. “And are you engaged to be married?” If the answer to the former was a “yes” and to the lat- ter a “no,” then the women were recruited to the first wave of large-scale intelligence work upon which the nation would embark.

ML Strategies has compiled recent polling and punditry on the 2012 Presidential, Senate, and House races. The race to the White House grows closer as Election Day approaches. In the past week of polling, roughly half have shown a slight Obama lead while the other half has Romney slightly leading. The control of the Senate remains uncertain: with eight races remaining pure tossups, it is not clear which party will be the majority in the 113th Congress. The House will likely remain in Republican control with anywhere 226 and 228 seats already solid, likely, or leaning Republican seats; 218 are needed for a majority.

  • Obama Poised to Carry New York; Comparable To’08
    SIENA RESEARCH INSTITUTE SIENA COLLEGE, LOUDONVILLE, NY www.siena.edu/sri For Immediate Release: Friday, October 26, 2012 Contact: Steven Greenberg, 518-469-9858 PDF version; crosstabs; website: www.Siena.edu/SRI/SNY Siena College Poll: Obama Poised to Carry New York; Comparable to’08 Gillibrand Appears Headed Toward Overwhelming Victory Small Plurality of Voters Now Support Hydrofracking Majority Wants Dems to Control State Senate; 63 Elections Determine Outcome Loudonville, NY. Headed toward Election Day, President Obama continues to have a large lead over Mitt Romney, 59-35 percent, closely resembling 2008, when he carried the state by a 63-36 percent margin. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, seeking her first full six-year term, has a commanding 67-24 percent lead over Republican challenger Wendy Long, according to a new Siena College Research Institute poll of likely voters released today. By a small plurality, 42-36 percent, voters support the Department of Environmental Conservation allowing hydrofracking to move forward in parts of upstate New York. A plurality of voters say they are prepared to re- elect their incumbent state senator, and a majority of voters, including independents by a 15-point margin, say they would like to see the State Senate controlled by the Democrats. Governor Andrew Cuomo continues to enjoy strong favorability and job performance ratings from New York voters. “The last time a Republican presidential candidate carried New York was 1984 and that streak of 28 years appears to be in no jeopardy this year. Despite the tightness of the race nationally, President Obama is poised to win New York big, with a similar margin to his 2008 victory in the Empire State,” said Siena pollster Steven Greenberg.
