Groups seek to clear up questions on voter rights

By Christine Paquin | November 7, 2006

A number of College organizations are working to encourage students to cast their votes this Election Day, whether it be with an absentee ballot or at the polls, using their controversial domicile status. Although the New Hampshire legislature introduced a bill last year that would bar college students from claiming domicile, the governor, partially in response to a student backlash, vetoed it. In addition to traditional election year activities this year, the College Democrats, College Republicans, Student Assembly, Rockefeller Center and the New Hampshire Secretary of State's office will help students sort through the confusion over their voting rights today.

Inappropriate Standards

By S. Caroline Kerr | November 7, 2006

I am deeply troubled by Drew Lerman '10's comic, "The Still North." The content of the comic strip is incredibly offensive, but there are really two issues at hand here: the content of the comic, which I hold Mr. Lerman responsible for, and The Dartmouth Editorial Board's decision to run this comic. The Dartmouth makes very clear that, "Any cartoon is the work of the attributed author and does not necessarily represent the views or opinions of The Dartmouth." The Dartmouth also strives to create an "open forum for dialogue." I understand that The Dartmouth receives far more material each day than can ever be printed.

Alumni constitution vote has record turnout

By Katy O'Donnell | November 7, 2006

A record 38.5 percent of all living alumni turned out to vote on the much-hyped and highly controversial proposed alumni constitution over the past six weeks, resulting in its eventual rejection by 51 percent of voters last Thursday. Director of Communications for Alumni Relations Diana Lawrence said she could not speculate about the almost perfect split down the middle among alumni or whether people voted on "party lines," which means whether or not they rejected the amendments simply because they were pro-constitution and vice-versa.

Dartmouth radio locally popular but has few student listeners

By Joe Debonis | November 7, 2006

Dartmouth Broadcasting is a business. It's not just a business serving your suitemates, or that girl in your psychology class, or even just the beloved denizens of Hanover; Dartmouth Broadcasting is a business (with a capital B) serving 30- to 40,000 listeners in the Upper Valley.

Residents debate construction plans

By Astrid Bradley | November 7, 2006

In order to build structures such as the recently-completed McLaughlin Cluster or the proposed North of Maynard Dining Hall, the College must obtain a "special exception" permit from the Hanover Zoning Board of Adjustment in a lengthy process that includes an abundance of input from the Town of Hanover and its residents. When a new project is proposed, pre-developmental meetings are first held with Town of Hanover residents who abut, or live adjacent to the proposed project location, and then with those residents and representatives of the College. Two community meetings about the Dining Hall project, led by Director of Community Relations Sandra Hoeh, have been met with substantial resident feedback. Dartmouth's Director of Planning and Design Stephen Campbell said he believes that the process works well because it allows input from all parties throughout the process. "Community members who abut a particular project have the ability to review it in detail and provide responses [to the proposal] which in fact very often changes the nature of our project for the better," Campbell said. North Maynard Dining Hall, also known as the Class of 1953 Commons Dining Hall, has also begun to raise issues amongst Hanover residents, Campbell said.
