The art history professor spearheading the protest against the plans for the Berry Library addition will telephone the College President and Provost today to ask that opponents of the design be given time to complain to the Board of Trustees at their meeting in Hanover next week, she said yesterday.
During his freshman year, Brent Laffoon '98 played a sport he did not enjoy, came down with mononucleosis and struggled with a 1.7 grade point average. And to top it all off, the Miami native found New Hampshire a bit too cold for his taste.
"When your feet are frozen, it doesn't matter if a horse steps on them because you can't feel it."
The women's cross-country team turned New York's Van Cortlandt Park into their local park playground as they ran circles around the competition in winning their fourth straight Ivy Heptagonals Championship on Friday afternoon.
I've Got Issues ... with being turned upside down. Everything I knew to be true and right and simple just isn't anymore. Life has become complex and multidimensional to the point where I feel as though I can't keep up; I am overwhelmed. Suddenly, there are so many ways to look at situations -- new perspectives, new information, and new considerations. Ideals and concepts that I fundamentally believed in have been questioned and challenged; I have been turned upside down repeatedly since I've been at Dartmouth.
Do you know someone at Dartmouth who has an eating disorder? Chances are, if you've been here for awhile, you probably do. A 1991 survey conducted by the Dartmouth Office of Nutrition Education revealed that 80% of students know someone at Dartmouth who has an eating disorder.

Expansion has been the persistent theme of Dartmouth's history. Ever since the College's first major building project -- the construction of Dartmouth Hall in 1791 -- buildings have been added almost every decade. The school that used to hold classes in Eleazar Wheelock's log cabin now sprawls over hundreds of acres.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is one of the defendants in what may be the first case of a patient suing his health maintenance organization in New Hampshire, and the lawyers on both sides are Dartmouth alumni.
Dartmouth Dining Services has made a number of changes this term in an effort to recover from massive losses in past years, but many students said the only new things about DDS are longer lines and less quality.
More than 60 members of the faculty gathered yesterday afternoon to discuss concerns about the plans for the 125,000-square-foot Berry Library, with most of them expressing their unhappiness with the library's current design.
College Trustee Susan Dentzer said the Board of Trustees plans to hear from members of the faculty who are opposed to the current Berry Library plans -- despite comments from the College's top two administrators that they are happy with the plans as they are now. Dentzer's comments come in the wake of a special meeting yesterday at which many members of the faculty demanded changes to plans for the library.
The other day, a friend of mine was listening to Bush when her roommate walked in the room and said, "What is this, Metallica?" That is essentially how I feel about Fu Manchu's first major release, "The Action is Go."
Move over Quentin Tarentino, there is a new Golden Boy in town. Paul Thomas Anderson, the 27-year-old writer/director of "Boogie Nights," launches himself onto the scene with his cool, skillful and caring take on the porn industry of the 1970s and early 1980s.
So often we hear our peers and colleagues make reference to the "Dartmouth community;" yet so difficult is it to specify what qualifications serve to define this community we speak of. Be that as it may, it is safe to say that our community is currently and forever will be dynamic, and I believe that this can be attributed in no small part to the individuals who comprise it.
Some weeks ago, while browsing the stack of the bookstore for textbooks, I ran across a rather interesting book for a pretty interesting class. The book was John Horgan's The End of Science, and the class "The Rise and Fall of The Scientific Empire." I'll spare you a review of the book, but basically Horgan argues that real science -- the great paradigm shifts and flashes of insight -- is over. From here on, he says, science is just going to be a profession of worker bees tying up loose ends and polishing up the existing theories.
I appreciate Abiola Lapite's response ["In equality of Wealth is a Force for Good," Oct. 22, The Dartmouth] to my Oct. 20th column, "The Growing Economic Divide." Someone asked me whether I had paid him to help me spark a discussion. I did not, but I am grateful for his courage. On the other hand, I hoped to stimulate a dialogue, not a debate. When we debate, we tend to waste valuable intellectual energy proving the other person wrong, rather than promoting our point of view. One of the most valuable lessons we can learn before we become too set in our ways is how to disagree without being disagreeable. If we really want a dialogue, rather than a debate, our internal critic should always be asking a few questions before we write or speak: Am I going to get a response or a reaction? Will I open someone's mind or close it? Am I likely to persuade or provoke? Those who learn to persuade rather than provoke are likely to be more successful leaders. (Provoking can be fun, of course, but it's a bad habit that some can't seem to control.)
Of the 10 students who rushed onto the field at Memorial Stadium during halftime of the football game Saturday, seven were upperclassmen.
There were fewer violations and arrests this Homecoming weekend than in years past, Safety and Security said yesterday.
