By Rena M. Chicklas | October 11, 1994

Many a high school or college student has agonized over reading the plays of Shakespeare, but the students working on Dartmouth's Shakespeare Project are helping some kids to get ahead by introducing them to Shakespeare early -- in elementary school.

Jazz duo dazzles Rollins crowd

By Saditya Dutt | October 11, 1994

In perhaps the most initmate setting for a concert, Rollins Chapel, the duo of Dwike Mitchell and Willie Ruff dazzled a full house with two hours of classic jazz last night. In a time when playing standards and ballads is considered "regressive" by some critics, Mitchell (piano) and Ruff (bass, French horn), along with Professor of Music Fred Haas (alto, tenor saxophone) put on a clinic on improvisation, technique and musical expression using tunes that have been played thousands of times by equally as many musicians.

College, Montshire Museum help Upper Valley get on line

By Anne Renna | October 6, 1994

The Upper Valley will soon be connected to the Internet as a result of the combined efforts of the Montshire Museum of Science and Dartmouth's Computing Services. For the last six months, John Hawkins, director of community computing at the College, has been working to establish ValleyNet, a computer network that will be operated and managed by the Montshire Museum. Individual households will pay approximately $15 per month for unlimited access to public information -- such as Dartmouth College Information Services and electronic mail -- as well as the variety of offerings across the Internet "We're encouraging schools, non-profit social service agencies and town governments to get accounts, and we're sort of underwriting the cost by charging businesses somewhat more," Hawkins explained. The Montshire Museum, located in Norwich, Vt., is counting on volunteers from the community to help keep its costs down. "So far support from the community has been strong," said Alex Dohan, administrative coordinator of ValleyNet.

Stores take credit

By Holly Eaton | September 29, 1994

The changing national economy of recent times has been reflected in the changing face of Hanover's Main Street, both in the addition of several stores and the disappearance of others. Shopkeepers said they are happy to see new additions to Hanover's shopping area and hope the new stores will attract customers to the town. Although the arrival of The Gap last Spring signaled a change in the traditional small town atmosphere, shopkeepers are excited about the new business the chain-store has brought. "We are very pleased Campion's came back and The Gap came to town -- the more reasons to come here, the better," Jeff Cowan, the owner of Cowan's clothing store, said.

The lights dimmed, the reels began spinning and the audience settled in for a double feature of the Alfred Hitchcock classics "Spellbound" and "Vertigo."

Owen Gottlieb '95, the new Director of DFS, developed the idea for "Switching Reals" two terms ago, drawing on his love of cinematic realism, which attempts to replicate the world as accurately as possible on film.
