Natalie Merchant shows off new songs, new band

By Susan Zieger | November 21, 1994

Natalie Merchant's sold-out Friday night performance was less a concert than an informal evening of music during which the singer, formerly of the 10,000 Maniacs, experimented with new songs. "You're the guinea pigs," she told the audience, who seemed more than happy to hear the unreleased work that Merchant has written since the dissolution of her band. Merchant, who complained lightly of a cold, sat at a keyboard and sipped tea through the first third of the show.

Nachtwey '70 speaks

By Stephanie Saad | November 17, 1994

Last night at the Hood Museum, preeminent photojournalist James Nachtwey '70 presented a slide show and narration of his 13 years in a profession defined by danger, violence and the witnessing of the world's horrors. Nachtwey described himself as a 'war photographer,' and chronicled how he became interested in photography at the College and, lacking the money to enter graduate programs, how he educated himself 'in the aisles of bookstores' and on various small assignments, beginning international photography in 1981. While the photographs stand alone as testament to atrocities around the world, Nachtwey's narrative lent insight into his emotional engagement in his work.

Skiway improves lifts, snow making

By Nathaniel Leclery | November 17, 1994

The Dartmouth Skiway, coming off a very successful past year, has made several improvements for the upcoming ski season. The Skiway enhanced the quadruple chair lift installed last year and purchased all new rental equipment for the 1994-95 season, a Skiway spokesperson said. The Skiway has also improved its snow making capabilities and can now cover 60 percent of the mountain with natural snow. But the spokesperson said it is still too warm to make snow and the Skiway is not planning to open until the middle of December. Last year Hanover received more than six feet of snow, providing the Skiway some of its best conditions in years. Two years ago the Skiway, which features 16 trails and three lifts, turned its first profit since 1985.

Say goodbye to Center...and brace yourself for Moore

By Andrea Meacham | November 7, 1994

Most College students visit the Hop at least once a day to gaze hopefully into their H.B.'s, perhaps making sure to rub the nose of the lucky Hop statue before an exam. But over the last few months things have started to look a little different in the front of the Hopkins Center.
