Town lacks women officers

By Maggie Lockwood | January 20, 1994

There are no women officers on the Hanover police force. Kurt Schimke, the Hanover police chief for the last six years, says this is not unusual. Few women apply for jobs as officers because societal bias and stereotypes have traditionally defined police work as a male profession, Schimke said. "It is a complicated issue," Schimke said.

'Feast of Song' is a flawed hit

By Joe Marcheso | January 20, 1994

The Chamber Singers triumphed last weekend at their annual Feast of Song in Webster Hall. From the opening of the musical program, Clement Janequin's "Je ne fut jamais si aise" to Claude le Jeune's exultant "Revecy venir du printans," the Chamber Singers brought a confident, clear, dynamically attuned performance to some of the same music that had troubled them earlier in the season. Last Friday, there were no signs of any uncomfortability; indeed the smaller ensembles, specifically in "La Belle Aronde," showed great capacity to handle the most intricate demands of the music.

Exhibit transcends periods

By Will Eckhert | January 19, 1994

Everyone loves to ply labels, from arts writers to art historians, yet Alison Bishop '94, in conjunction with co-curator Richard Rand, provides an alternative to the fixedly labelled, epochal structure of traditional art history with her "Medieval into Renaissance" show. The exhibit, now showing in the Hood Museum of Art, focuses on the gradual shift between the two artistic eras, examining painting, sculpture, engravings and manuscripts as media in transition.

Snow taxes resources of College and town

By David Hemmer | January 13, 1994

If there is a foot of snow on every inch of the 106 miles of road in the Hanover area, it would fill Webster Hall more than 250 times. Together, the College and the town of Hanover are charged with the task of plowing, shoveling, salting and sanding to keep the roads and sidewalks safe after a snowstorm. The town expects to use 1,700 tons of salt; 5,000 tons of sand; and spend more than $118,000 in snow removal efforts this year, Highway Superintendent Leo Hamill said. Last year the College spent over $400,000 to get rid of its share of the snow, according to John Gratiot, associate director of facilities, operations and management.

The Dartmouth Film Society honored John Michael Hayes, a Hollywood screenwriter and professor of Film Studies at the College in a tribute which included a sneak preview of his exciting new film, "Iron Will" in Spaulding Auditorium last Saturday.

Before his work with Hitchcock, Hayes had an extensive career writing for radio and screen and was known for the ability to adapt important plays and novels which were judged to be unfilmable.

By Rick Owen | January 5, 1994

If you could think of twenty movies you would really like to see this term what would they be? Well, the Dartmouth Film Society as usual tries to answer just that question and this term comes up with an unusually interesting selection, addressing provocative issues of race, sex, nationality and experience in a series named "Border Crossings."

Galas gives provocative show

By Susan Zieger | November 24, 1993

A spotlight parts the darkness, revealing a muscular female figure, black hair amuck and bared torso slick with what appears to be blood. "Were you a witness?" she intones throatily, then commences to sing, shriek, whisper, cackle, gasp and ululate, conjuring visions of a soul in hell.

A capella groups sing in your room

By Ally Hyun | November 24, 1993

Dartmouth's a capella groups typically perform in front of a standing-room only crowd during their concerts. Two acts, the Dartmouth Decibelles and the Dartmouth Aires, released albums earlier this term so groupies can listen to the musical talent of these groups in the comfort of their own rooms. Although both albums are well produced, the magic of a live performances -- a key ingredient to both groups' concerts -- can never be reproduced on tape, but all fans should definitely add these albums to their collections. Twenty-three songs appear on "Aires to the Throne," the latest album by the popular Dartmouth Aires.
