Basketball loses to Lehigh to wrap up three-game home stand

Profs. receive Fulbright fellowships

Seven Dartmouth professors received Fulbright scholarships on Monday to fund research abroad. Christiane Donahue, Ursula Gibson '76, Pamela Jenkins, David Kotz '86 and Michael Mastanduno were named Fulbright Scholars by the Council for International Exchange of Scholars and Ioana Chitoran and Jonathan Smolin received Fulbright-Hays Foreign Area and Language Training Program fellowships. Assistant dean of faculty Jane Carroll, who aids faculty in the Fulbright admissions process, said that the process of naming scholars is very selective and "becomes even narrower especially in bad economic times." Fellowships and scholarships such as the Fulbright are a competitive, Carroll added, but Dartmouth usually does well. "There are a limited number of places that fund pure research, and this is one," Carroll said.

The Suit And The Apron

Between the Equal Rights Amendment and Hillary Clinton, feminism underwent a transformation. Before this change, feminism was a nice, well-adjusted movement with honorable aims and reasonable practices, something both men and women could support. Somewhere along the line, though, a large group of feminists became exposed to a heavy dosage of gamma radiation (maybe at a protest against nuclear weapons), and a new, monstrous form of feminism was born.
