Rocky staffer elected to Lebanon Council seat

By Stuart A. Reid | March 29, 2005

Rockefeller Center student activities coordinator Karen Liot Hill '00 won a seat on the Lebanon City Council, following a campaign enlisting the help of two other Dartmouth women -- Sarah Ayres '06 and Tucker Foundation staffer Becky Windt. Hill, 26, ousted 59-year-old incumbent Dominic Balestra earlier this month with 64 percent of the 363 votes, winning her a 2-year term on the council. "I was very surprised, especially by the margin," Hill said.

Third time not a charm: Green ends record-tying season

By Tony Hao | March 29, 2005

For the third straight year, the women's hockey team made it to the Frozen Four championships, but for the third straight year, the Big Green came up short in the semi-final game. Despite this year's expanded tournament field of eight teams, the Frozen Four pairings were identical to those of a season ago.

I cannot express in strong enough terms my outrage over Tuck Dean Paul Danos' decision on the ApplyYourself scandal ("Danos: Tuck may admit early viewers in online admissions scandal," Mar.

Panda House to close after fraud charges

By Phil Salinger | March 29, 2005

Panda House, the downtown Hanover Chinese restaurant, will soon close its doors for good after multiple allegations of credit card fraud against restaurant employees have greatly diminished its business. In the most recent scandal, more than 20 Panda House customers, some of who are Dartmouth students, lost well over $10,000 to a type of credit card fraud called "skimming." Skimming is a process by which the skimmer, in this case an unknown Panda House employee, runs customer credit cards through a handheld device that electronically captures data stored on the magnetic strip of the card.

By Kelsey Blodget | March 29, 2005

Strong cross-examinations and convincing testimony qualified three Dartmouth mock trial teams for the American Mock Trial Association national championship this month. After placing second out of 30 teams at the New England Mock Trial Tournament in February, Dartmouth's top team led by senior attorneys David Rhinesmith, Victoria Corder and Sean Miller will qualify for the country's most prestigious national competition to be held in Des Moines, Iowa, in April. A second Dartmouth team that placed fourth at a different regional tournament held at Manchester Community College attended a national competition in St.

Danos: Tuck may admit early viewers in online admissions scandal

By AnnMary Mathew | March 21, 2005

WEB UPDATE, March 21, 10:06 a.m. Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business will not follow Harvard Business School's lead in automatically denying admission to applicants accused of hacking into an admissions processing website to learn the decision on their applications early, Tuck Dean Paul Danos said in a press release. "The involvement in this incident was deemed a very important, negative factor, but only one of many factors in our admissions decisions," Danos said. Dartmouth is one of over ten business schools that used an online application system build by ApplyYourself.com.

Isn't It Ironic?

By Caleb Powers | March 9, 2005

Upon seeing a recent episode of "The O.C." -- a show about unrealistically beautiful high school students living unrealistically predictable and convenient life stories -- was the lead-in for the new Fox show "Stars Without Makeup" -- a show "exposing" the unrealistic beauty portrayed in the entertainment industry -- I began to ponder the many ironies of our times, particularly those that have faced us as a community recently. It should come as a shock to no one when I say that irony abounds in this tiny New Hampshire town.

Translation Please?

By Jon Appleton | March 9, 2005

To the Editor: Dean of Faculty Carol Folt's apologia for the narrow vision of her administration is so filled with cliches that perhaps she should consider a public relations position with Haliburton ("The Fact of the Matter," March 3). Where are the specifics?

Con Law 101

By Scott Meacham | March 9, 2005

To the Editor: Why would Trustee Rodgers state that "Dartmouth currently has imbedded in its own website a speech code that is clearly illegal under the First Amendment" when he admits in the same column that the First Amendment does not apply directly to a private college ("Encouraged But Not Convinced," March 7)? Congress is forbidden from doing dozens of things that a private corporation is not, so why the obsession with trying to apply this particular ban to Dartmouth?

SA votes to fund contentious community bike program

By Elise Waxenberg | March 9, 2005

Intense debate raged over the Big Green Bike program Tuesday night at the Student Assembly's last meeting of Winter term, which garnered attendance by over 85 percent of the Assembly's membership. The proposal earmarking $2,000 of Assembly funds for BGB passed by seven votes after extended debate that frequently reached a fevered pitch. Last night's move allows BGB sponsors, including Student Body Vice President Todd Rabkin Golden '06, to implement the program, which aims to provide between 50 and 100 communal bicycles to students, who would rent keys opening all the bicycle locks for $10 per year. Earlier on Tuesday, Student Body President Julia Hildreth '05 admonished Rabkin Golden for setting up a table in the Collis Center to solicit student support for BGB and sign up students for the program. "I have already told [Rabkin Golden] that I consider this to be disrespectful to SA and dishonest to campus," Hildreth wrote to the Assembly executives yesterday in a BlitzMail message obtained by The Dartmouth. Hildreth described Rabkin Golden's actions as an "error in judgment," but noted the problem had been solved. "If there's a program that Student Assembly hasn't officially endorsed, you can't be taking money in that program's name," Hildreth said at the Assembly meeting. Rabkin Golden said his efforts were aimed at engaging student interest and talking about the program with students.
