SA addresses ongoing problems in advising

By Alex Belser | November 4, 2004

If teachers are considered role models by anyone, it is probably by their students. But Dartmouth's student government is trying to find professors who can serve as examples for another group altogether -- other faculty members. A Student Assembly initiative is set to recognize up to five freshman faculty advisers for their good work, based upon student input. Freshmen and sophomores are being asked to nominate exceptional advisers by e-mail.

Student Voters: Grow Up

By Linda Swenberg | November 4, 2004

To the Editor: I just got done reading the article about a Republican pamphlet that attempted to dissuade students from voting (The Dartmouth, "Pamphleteers dissuade students from voting," November 2). From the article, it appears that the pamphlet simply made it clear to students that the changing of a legal residence should not be taken lightly. I have another take on it.

Lynch puts gubernatorial seat in Democrats' hands

By Gus Lûbin | November 4, 2004

At 2 a.m. Wednesday, many news anchors were still holding New Hampshire aside with Ohio, New Mexico and Iowa as "too close to call." It seemed as though the Granite State's four electoral votes might make the difference in the presidential race. In the end, they didn't.

A Similar Sort of War

By Steven Swayne | November 4, 2004

Our ongoing culture war over marriage for gays and lesbians bears striking resemblances to America's culture war over interracial marriage (also known as miscegenation, or the mixing of races). Like all analogies, there are differences as well as similarities, but perhaps we have not pressed the analogy far enough.

Students face few poll challenges

By John Mitchell and Kelsey Blodget | November 3, 2004

Democratic and Republican party challengers questioned few students' right to vote at the polls at Hanover High School Tuesday, despite reports of 500 same-day registrations and widespread speculation that challenges would be common. In 2002, lawyers hired by the Republican Party challenged over 500 students who declared New Hampshire as their legal domicile.

At Hanover polls, students turn out in droves

By Kelsey Blodget | November 3, 2004

Over 5,000 voters cast their ballots in Hanover's energetic Election Day atmosphere Tuesday. Normal sleep schedules stood interrupted while eager students showed up in droves -- by 10 a.m., when many Dartmouth classes commence, 2,000 votes had already been placed. Volunteers from the Young Democrats and College Republicans also woke up bright and early for Election Day get-out-the-vote efforts.

By Ben Reed | November 3, 2004

After last Saturday's thrilling four-game upset over Yale, the Dartmouth women's volleyball team appeared primed to put a forgettable first half of the season behind it in its second trip through the Ivy League schedule. During Homecoming weekend, the team took to the road in matches against the best and worst of the Ivy League.

The Dartmouth men's water polo team finished second in the North Atlantic Division of the Collegiate Water Polo Association last weekend, completing its season with nine wins and two losses, both of which came at the hands of a much-improved Middlebury College squad.

Pamphleteers dissuade students from voting

By Elise Waxenberg | November 2, 2004

Right down to Election Day, the question for many student voters who have yet to register in New Hampshire is not whom they will vote for, but whether or not they should vote in the state at all. Students have been showered in Democratic and Republican party leaflets about student voter registration for the past several weeks, but legal questions still linger for out-of-staters who plan to take advantage of New Hampshire's same-day registration laws.

By Tony Hao | November 2, 2004

While the rest of the campus was busy rounding up freshmen for the bonfire, No. 2 Dartmouth women's hockey burned Boston College in a convincing 7-1 victory in Thompson Arena on Friday night to open up its regular season. Junior Katie Weatherston, Dartmouth's leading scorer from a year ago, led the way for the Big Green (1-0) with a hat trick, and she added two assists late in the third period to finish with a five-point performance.
