By Zak Moore | February 28, 2007

By David Glovsky | February 28, 2007

Unlike many of you, I met presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, in a unique way. Many may have seen Kucinich give formal talks or speeches regarding policy and his run for the presidency, but I was introduced to this unique candidate in a slightly different manner.

Biden campaign sets sights on Iraq

By JR Santo | February 28, 2007

Speaking on foreign policy, presidential hopeful Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., told a crowd of 350 gathered in Alumni Hall Tuesday that presidential candidates must answer a two-word question after determining their Iraq policy: "What next?" Before delving into his Iraq plan, Biden set a casual tone for the Dartmouth town-hall meeting, sponsored by the Rockefeller Center and the College Democrats. "My name is Joe Biden and I used to be a Young Democrat," he said. After calling President Bush's plan of increasing troop levels ineffective, Biden said that his own five-point plan for Iraq can salvage the situation. Included in his plan were giving regional governments increased power and accountability as promised in the Iraqi constitution, making Iraq "the world's problem -- not just ours," and reducing troop levels to a 20,000-person residual force while funding reconstruction efforts to protect civil rights and provide jobs. "If we leave Iraq immediately, the Middle Eastern states will feel compelled to protect what they see as their interests," Biden said.

Sculptor Brenda Garand to head studio art department

By Hilary Becker | February 28, 2007

Paul Park / The Dartmouth Staff Just as soon as Brenda Garand, newly appointed chair of the studio art department, offers me a seat in one of her ergonomic office chairs, I'm back on my feet again, examining the bookshelf full of student work that occupies one wall of her office. As Garand pulls pieces off the shelf, explaining the assignments for which they were created and the artists behind them, it becomes clear that she intends to maintain the studio art department's devotion to its students. "I want our department to be a place where students feel like they can explore," Garand said. Under her direction, it appears that the department's emphasis on exploration, visual possibility and dynamic engagement will continue to develop and thrive. Garand, who was named chair of the department this past summer, is a sculptor who works in fabrics and steel, though she also explores and teaches in other mediums.

Smoking Ban Is Your Friend

By Jacob Baron | February 27, 2007

"Authoritarian" is a strong word. If the federal Patriot Act doesn't qualify for the term, surely it is inappropriate in discussion of the simple matter of banning smoking in New Hampshire restaurants and bars.

The Glove

By David Glovsky | February 27, 2007

After a week away in the sun, I return to you ready to comment on the state of Dartmouth's snowy sports (hint: they are pretty good). The ski team is still undefeated, and won the Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA for all you college ski buffs) for the first time in 25 years, and is peaking at just the right time for the NCAA championships next week. As expected, the men's hockey team, after hovering around .500 most of the year, has won its last four games, seven of their last eight, and have a 10-1-2 record in their last 13 contests.
