Kayakers, canoeists race at Mascoma Whitewater slalom

|

This past Saturday, spectators lined the streets along the Packard Hill Covered Bridge in Lebanon to watch kayakers and canoeists compete in the 43rd annual Mascoma Whitewater Slalom Race. Jay Evans '49, Chris Knight '65 and Ben Holden -- a local paddler, started the race in 1963.

Ideals versus Interests

|

Perhaps the greatest question facing the Bush administration is the question of resolve. While the President has publicly committed himself to democratic reform in the Middle East, what remains to be seen is whether or not his actions will match the lofty Wilsonian rhetoric of his second inaugural address.

Hey, if Phi Delt Can Do It...

To the Editor: I think that the entire Dartmouth Community recognizes that Zete's actions in regards to the "Zetemouth," or the newsletter that they published, were inappropriate.

Inexcusable Conduct, Inadmissible Evidence

|

To the Editor: I read on Wednesday ("Drug charges leveled against senior after police search frat," April 20) that: "Police told [Tabard President Michael Guzman '06] that one of the officers noticed evidence of illicit substances in plain view in room 10, while scouring the house for any fires." Police now scour private rooms for fires?

New eatery soon to supplant Panda House

|

Following impositions from its landlord, the Panda House restaurant may change its name and ownership as soon as next week. Landlord Jim Rubens recommended that the restaurant's owners sell their business after restaurant employees faced their third set of credit card fraud allegations in five years. In the most recent scandal, an unidentified fugitive employee used a "skimming device" to steal a total of more $10,000 from over 20 Panda House customers. While no deal has been finalized, Rubens suggested that talks with potential purchasers of the restaurant and the Hanover Park mall ownership were well underway. "A change in ownership will require agreement between the current ownership, the new ownership, and me.

It's Still a Beautiful Dartmouth

|

As Max Ehrmann wrote in his poem Desiderata, "Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story." One thing I have learned about Dartmouth students in the course of the recently concluded elections is that far too often we claim an individual monopoly on the truth.

|

After battling pneumonia in Dick's House for the first four days of Student Assembly campaigning, Jeffrey Coleman '08 recovered in time to contend with candidates Travis Green '08 and Christopher Galiardo '06 for the Student Assembly Vice Presidential seat, winning handily with 58 percent of the vote.

Take SA Out of EPAC

|

Does anyone else find it strange that the people on the Elections Planning and Advisory Committee -- responsible for ensuring fair elections and thus charged with neutrality in determining sanctions for possible rule violations -- are themselves from Student Assembly? I was on EPAC last year, when it was run by Palaeopitus with representatives from other organizations.

A New Paradigm for SA

|

Just hanging out around campus, stuff doesn't appear to be going too shabbily. I get from place to place and class to class, check my BlitzMail every so often, buy a meal at one of the many campus eateries when I'm hungry, maybe even take a break from online poker and browsing your personal files to check some assignments on blackboard.

EPAC lifts sanctions on SA candidates

|

Less than 24 hours after slapping Student Body Presidential candidates Paul Heintz '06 and Brian Martin '06 with campaign sanctions that had suspended Heintz's campaign and frozen Martin's BlitzMail use, the student-run Elections Planning and Advisory Committee decided to restore both candidates' BlitzMail privileges Tuesday evening after holding a hearing on each case. Additional restrictions on Heintz's campaign, however, remain in effect. The ban on both candidates' BlitzMail use was officially lifted 24 hours after each was imposed -- Heintz's BlitzMail use was restored at 12:01 a.m.

Drug charges leveled against senior after police search frat

|

Hanover police arrested Kyle Sherlock '05, a member of The Tabard coed fraternity, and 27-year-old Manchester, N.H., resident Melissa Lardiere early this week on felony charges of possession of a controlled or narcotic drug with the intent to distribute. Lardiere is an employee of the Dartmouth Outdoor Programs office and Sherlock's girlfriend, Tabard President Michael Guzman '06 said. The arrests come after police executed a search warrant at Tabard in the early hours of April 5. During the search, they found a significant amount of marijuana in a room shared by Sherlock and Lardiere, Hanover police chief Nicholas Giaccone said. The Tabard held a get-together for members and invited guests the night of April 4, the day the house hoisted a sign on its front commemorating that 69 days remained until graduation. At the party, a fire alarm went off because of cigarette smoke on the second floor, calling the Hanover fire and police departments to the scene, Guzman said. After about a half hour, the fire department left, but Hanover police told Guzman that they had reason to stay, he said. At that point, police allowed everyone back into Tabard, but did not allow anyone above the first floor. About 40 minutes later, police reopened the entire house except for room 10, Sherlock's room, Guzman said. Police told him that one of the officers noticed evidence of illicit substances in plain view in room 10, while scouring the house for any fires, according to Guzman. A police officer sat in the doorway forbidding entrance to room 10 for the next two hours until Hanover police captain Frank Moran and another officer arrived with a search warrant, Guzman said. Guzman expressed skepticism late Monday evening about the evidence that compelled police to seek a search warrant. He said he was unsure the evidence had been in plain sight, because the police refused to let Guzman accompany them on their search. "I asked specifically, 'Can I go up there with you?

SA considers textbook listings, Tassel resignation

|

While five male juniors are fighting tooth-and-nail to decide the direction of Student Assembly, the current body met Tuesday night to discuss the resignation of the Sexual Abuse Awareness Program coordinator Abby Tassel. The Assembly held a question and answer session with Tassel, and determined ways in which they can provide support for the search for her successor. Tassel, accompanied by Liz Allen '06 and Robin Rathmann-Noonan '05, discussed strategic approaches to finding a replacement for the coordinator position with members of the Student Assembly.
