DRFC survives marathon week

By Tom Monahan | May 2, 2005

The rain was hammering Sachem field Thursday afternoon as the Dartmouth B-side kicked off against the University of New Brunswick B-side. This early game resulted in a disappointing 31-0 Dartmouth loss. However as the clouds parted the sun and rugby gods seemed to smile upon the Men in Green. In the A-side match the DRFC opened with a relentless, dynamic attack that gave them a quick 17-0 lead. An early penalty kick by fullback Andrew Caspary '06 began the day for the Dartmouth offensive machine, which scored 39 points on the afternoon. Following the New Brunswick kickoff, Jarred Hyatt '06 picked up a spectacular poach that was quickly spun out to fly half Jesse Blom '06 and fed to crashing center Scott Penner '06 for the try and conversion by Caspary. The next Dartmouth score came as New Brunswick was pinned down on its own five-meter. Prop Brad "Cheese" Fierstein '06 shot up from the Dartmouth defensive line like a portly lightning bolt picking off the pass from the UNB flyhalf to its center.

Garbage In, Garbage Out

By Deborah Wassel | May 2, 2005

Turn on your television. If you flip to a news channel, you'll probably see Bill O'Reilly or Bill Maher complaining about something. If you're hardy enough to make it to the 7 o'clock news, you're likely to see stories about household items that could be deadly, a murder or two and perhaps a drug bust. Who cares if there's a bill passed to cut funding to welfare?

99 Rocks

By Deborah Wassel | April 29, 2005

When I agreed to do an interview for The Dartmouth concerning 99 Rock, I was thrilled that we at WFRD might get some recognition from a student body that doesn't even know we broadcast from Robinson Hall ("Armed with $400, DTV battles to find audience," April 28). I spent a chunk of time talking with the reporter and gave a huge amount of factual information, in addition to conveying my own experiences as a DJ and as the current FM Program Director.

'Unspoken rule' obstructs faculty-student dating

By Jacques P. Hebert | April 29, 2005

Dartmouth undergraduates seeking age and maturity in an on-campus romantic partner are in luck. Though the Dartmouth student dating pool has disappointed some, the College currently maintains no written policy prohibiting students from dating members of the faculty. While student-faculty dating at Dartmouth has not created enough attention to necessitate an official policy, several other peer academic institutions have recently instated guidelines as a result of specific instances. However, a feeling of uncertainty and confusion envelops the issue, leaving students and members of the faculty unsure of what the boundaries are. Director of the Ethics Institute Aine Donovan stressed that maintaining professionalism and a sense of community is important in consideringwhether professors should be allowed to date students. "As a community, we try to counsel professionals that may be entering into areas of embarrassment," she said. While no official written guidelines exist, an unspoken rule bars professors from having an amorous relationship with students in their class.

Liberal Hypocrisy

By Michael Belinsky | April 29, 2005

In 1994, professor and literary critic Stanley Fish told the world that, "There is no such thing as free speech, and it's a good thing too." He argued that the "free speech" label is and always has been a political tool used for the purposes of advancing an individual or a group agenda.
