Acting on President Bush's October 2001 directive to step up surveillance of international students studying at U.S. universities, the government announced plans last week for a visa-screening program for international students in this country.
Dartmouth will spend $2 million over the next five years to guarantee health insurance and to increase stipends for its nearly 300 graduate research and teaching assistants, the College announced last week.
Stephen Herek's new film "Life or Something Like It" is interesting. Interesting in some aspects of its plot, some characters and some purely cinematic features, but never very good. As the movie unfolds before your eyes, it manages to keep the viewer interested, but little more.
Dartmouth College is now home to eight proud bearers of cycling's coveted stars and stripes jersey. After three grueling days of competition in Burlington, Vt. this past weekend, the Dartmouth cycling team brought home the gold, winning the Division II team title at the Collegiate Cycling National Championships over 25 highly competitive schools from across the country.

Last term I wrote an article titled "A Traditional Winter," in which, as a service to the freshman class, I highlighted some of the more important Dartmouth winter traditions. And though no one told me that they appreciated the article, my sources say that it was well received (by "my sources," I of course mean "my imagination"). Now that we find ourselves thoroughly digested in the intestinal tract of spring, I think we can agree it is an appropriate time for me to talk about Dartmouth spring traditions and to stop using bodily-function metaphors.
Dartmouth has recently decided, as part of its new door lock initiative, to end deliveries right to students' doors. Instead, students must get up from their work and go down to the door to get their pizza or chop suey. This new policy seems little more than just another inconvenience students have to learn to tolerate at Dartmouth. However, Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman's comments on the new policy really hit a sore spot with me: "When I order food from Panda House, they deliver it to my door. They don't deliver it to my bedroom. The New York Times comes to the doorstep too."
Carolyn Johnson '03 never bought into the campus-wide posters. Not only that, but she thought the signs that declare that the majority of Dartmouth students drink four or fewer drinks when they party could have potentially negative consequences.
Among the flyers for events and club meetings, a different kind of poster decorates the campus, a horse shaded 76 percent red and 24 percent white. It is the latest in a series of sometimes puzzling images promoting Dartmouth's social norms campaign.
Just about everyone in the business of student health agrees that social norms marketing was a radical idea when it first came on the scene a few years ago. Despite its widespread inception, health officials disagree on whether or not the advertising tactic has been effective at curbing harmful behavior.
While Dartmouth's social norms campaign has been designed to reduce binge drinking, other campuses have used social norms campaigns to try to change student attitudes about everything from drug use to study habits to sexual behavior.
In what some have called a conflict of interest and others have called socially-responsible programming, several major U.S. brewing companies have been funding and organizing alcohol social norms campaigns on college campuses over the past several years.
In the mid 1980s, two alcohol-education researchers named Wesley Perkins and Alan Berkowitz hit upon a revolutionary idea: instead of trying to scare college students into not drinking, it might be more effective to tell them how little their peers were drinking. If they listened, the theory went, the psychology of peer pressure would mean that they soon start drinking less.
Duke University, for the last two years, has been asking applicants the unique question: "How much help did you receive on your college application essays?" Neither Dartmouth nor many other institutions have added this question to their applications.
As the Catholic Church faces a national scandal surrounding allegations of sexual abuse by its priests, Roman Catholics at Dartmouth and across the country are struggling to cope with a disillusioning barrage of accusations, arrests and legal fights.
"There were people on the New Hampshire Superior Court when I was appointed who would not talk to me, not even to say 'hello,'" said Justice Linda Dalianis, who subsequently became the first woman to serve on the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman defended the College's new door-locking system -- which has been installed across campus but not yet activated -- during Student Assembly's weekly meeting last night.
Dartmouth Hillel members voted last night to submit a pro-Israel advertisement to The Dartmouth, making a campus-wide statement with which some among the roughly thirty-five students present at the meeting strongly disagreed.
She works out at the Kresge Fitness Center, she frequents performances at the Hop and she attends student art openings. A new face in the hallways of the Hopkins Center this term, artist-in-residence Barbara Grossman has not only offered a fresh perspective in the studio art department but has also woven herself into the Dartmouth community.
