Assembly supports 'Good Samaritan' policy changes

By Rebekah Rombom | May 18, 2005

At its final meeting yesterday in Carson Hall, the Student Assembly passed four pieces of legislation unopposed, including a resolution proposing progressive changes in Dartmouth's "Good Samaritan" policy. Though only 28 members were in attendance, this number was enough to make quorum because Assembly members who miss three meetings in one term lose their voting privileges until they have attended another three meetings.

Rescreening of potent 'Chernobyl' set for Thursday

By Chetan Mehta | May 18, 2005

Nuclear technology does not have a terribly illustrious legacy. The very thought of "nuclear power" conjures up ghastly images of destruction, mayhem and mutation; the term is inextricably linked to the detonation of the atomic bomb at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Preserve the Election's Integrity

By Geoff Bronner | May 17, 2005

To the Editor: Joe Malchow's column ("Savor the Victory," May 16) makes me believe that there is not much of anything to savor in the the recent trustee election.

In debates like that, all that matters is winning and the real issues get lost in that pursuit.
