A Real American Hero

By Dan Knecht | November 22, 2004

All too often we forget the sacrifices that people make to ensure a brighter future for us. We lose touch with the most important issues of our lives while harping on the most trivial.

Big Green women's hockey trounces rivals Colgate, Cornell

By Tony Hao | November 22, 2004

The Big Green women's hockey team made things interesting this weekend, coming home from New York with another pair of wins and a still-undefeated record on the season. Thanks to Cherie Piper '06's game-winning goal with six minutes remaining in the second period, Dartmouth (7-0, 6-0 ECACHL) squeaked out a 4-3 victory over Colgate (4-6, 0-3 ECACHL) on Friday night in Starr Rink. Krista Dornfried '05 and Gillian Apps '06 quickly put the Big Green up by a pair late in the first frame, but what seemed like another blowout victory turned into a much tougher contest.

Homelessness protesters wind up in trouble with law

By Bridget Alex | November 22, 2004

For most protests to gain any sort of notoriety, protesters must break a few laws. At Thursday's protest against homelessness, students did just that. Not only did 10 students break state law by sleeping outside, these protestors also unintentionally violated the College's egress laws by setting up a band that obstructed a stairway. The protesters' stated goal, though, wasn't civil disobedience.

Get To Know the Details

By Erika Sogge | November 22, 2004

To the Editor: The description at the beginning of The Dartmouth's recent campus stereotype articles says that the articles profile "students who at first glance embody various Dartmouth stereotypes." The tone of this statement seems to suggest that the articles will tell us things about people that we never would have guessed.

Selective Safety?

By Cecilia Schmidt | November 22, 2004

To the Editor: As a parent of a college student at Brown, I was shocked to read the November 19 article about the selective requirement for wearing safety helmets while skiing at Dartmouth. It is outrageous that College spokesman Roland Adams claims that "safety was the major motivation for the rule." If that is indeed the case, why would the College require helmets exclusively for those students participating in skiing to fulfill a requirement?

Unfair Stereotyping

By Jedidiah Sorokin-Altmann | November 22, 2004

To the Editor: In Friday's "Verbum Ultimum," (The Dartmouth, November 19) The Dartmouth Editorial Board wrote of the inevitability of hazing in the Greek system, claiming that "some rules are meant to be broken" and that "hazing ... is an inevitable component of Greek life ..." As president of Phi Tau coeducational fraternity, I was horrified to read this perpetuation of some of the worst stereotypes about the Greek system, and even more disgusted that The Dartmouth staff apparently believes that it is impossible to separate the Greek system from hazing. Phi Tau's official creed is "Unitas in Diversitate" (Unity in Diversity), but we also have an unofficial motto as well.

Early decision numbers plunge

By Mary Haile | November 19, 2004

After a steady three-year increase of early decision applications to the College, the number of candidates has fallen to 1,171, a 9.1 percent decrease from last year's seven-year high of 1,278 applications. Dartmouth's admissions office will still be compiling applications through Thanksgiving, with an additional 20 expected to supplement the current figure. However, the last time the College experienced a decline in the number of early decision applicants occurred during the aftermath of the Sept.

Looking to become a part of the only two-year cartooning program in America? You're going to need rent money for "dorm-like apartments" in White River Junction, Vt., a two-page comic about yourself, a snowman, a piece of fruit and a check for $28,000 made out to the Center for Cartoon Studies for tuition. The Center for Cartoon Studies held a major fundraising event at the Hotel Coolidge in White River Junction Thursday night.

Gruber and Tonelli to attend elite biz conference

By Stuart A. Reid | November 19, 2004

Looking forward to a good dosage of schmoozing and elbow-rubbing, Dartmouth students Steve Gruber '05 and Alex Tonelli '06 will be attending an elite business conference in New York City this weekend, along with some of the top names in American industry. The conference allows college students interested in business to interact with top business executives.

Verbum Ultimum

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | November 19, 2004

Recent allegations of hazing and sexual harassment involving Theta Delta Chi fraternity and Delta Delta Delta sorority have resurfaced tensions familiar to anyone acquainted with Dartmouth's Greek system.

A Draft? No Chance

By Michael Kreicher | November 19, 2004

The other day, I received a blitz that listed detailed instructions about how to register as a conscientious objector -- a common way to avoid the selective service draft because of religious beliefs.
