Homecoming arrests show dip from past

Police activity over Homecoming weekend declined slightly from recent years, with Hanover Police reporting 16 arrests and four protective custody cases between Friday evening and Sunday morning.

Arts

Artists and others raise their voices for the election

By Caroline McKenzie | November 2, 2004

Campaign trail theme songs are nothing new. Celebrity artists were even making a splash back in 1960, when Sinatra himself provided JFK with the tune "High Hopes." Today, Bruce Springsteen -- the politically-conscious "Boss" who famously refused Ronald Reagan the right to use "Born in the U.S.A." on his campaign -- is providing Kerry with the trail theme "No Surrender." And who could possibly forget Al Gore using Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" on his 1992 campaign for veep? So artists' participation in politics is far from a new commodity.

Dean stumps for former rival Kerry at Hop

By Phil Salinger | November 2, 2004

Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean blasted Republican candidates for focusing their campaigns on "guns, God, gays and abortion," instead of issues such as the economy, lost jobs, healthcare and public education Monday at the Hopkins Center. Dean's speech touched on a wide range of his misgivings about America's current state, from President Bush's policies to the state of intellectual debate in this country to the importance of voting. Dean blamed the Bush administration for discouraging dissent and intelligent discourse, two qualities he described as essential to a united democracy. "They think that what they think is more important than what American voters think," Dean said of the Bush administration. Speaking in front of a crowd of about 300, Dean spent much of his speech discussing the importance of not only voting, but also of convincing others to vote.

Use Your Diction Faithfully

By Elana Bannerman | November 2, 2004

To the Editor: I think it is unfair for the anonymously quoted freshman in your article profiling Rabbi Moshe Leib Gray to assert that students choose to attend Chabad over Hillel because of its more "religious" environment ("Hasidic rabbi brings Jews closer to faith," The Dartmouth, October 22). "Religious," as defined in the Oxford English Dictionary, connotes an entity pertaining to or connected with religion.

Monday's poll indicates N.H. vote still dead heat

By From staff and wire reports | November 2, 2004

A poll released in New Hampshire Monday shows Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and President Bush locked in a near dead heat as voters head to the polls. The final tracking poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire for WMUR-TV, had Kerry picking up 49 percent and Bush 48 percent. One percent said they would vote for another candidate, including Ralph Nader, and 1 percent were undecided. Both Bush and Kerry picked up one percentage point since the poll surveyed likely voters by telephone Sunday, while the number of undecided and third-party voters each dropped one percentage point. The poll's results indicate that New Hampshire's four electoral votes could again prove decisive this year.

College offers few barriers to getting morning-after pills

By Bridget Alex | November 1, 2004

Elizabeth Hirsh, manager of the women's health program at Dick's House, rummaged through a filing cabinet as she searched for a handout on pregnancy options. "This is how often I have to pull this out," said Hirsh, who was unable to find the little-used printout. Dick's House sees just a handful of unplanned student pregnancies each year, down from between 25 and 40 in 2001.

Paid Bush supporters cause uproar

By Mark Henle and Kaitlin Bell | November 1, 2004

State Democrats reacted quickly when the Republican Party, trying to garner last-minute support with New Hampshire's swing voters, began paying part-time workers $75 this weekend to devote a day to the Bush campaign -- especially in liberal areas like Hanover. Democratic field organizers in the area alerted supporters and volunteers Friday about students from nearby colleges who had been paid to hold Bush-Cheney signs and wear campaign stickers on the Green. The program, meant to boost volunteer numbers in key swing states, is offered nationally, with students from less contentious states like Vermont being bussed into swing states to campaign for President Bush.

Don't Ignore the Governor's Race

By Sarah Ayres | November 1, 2004

Republicans often argue that Dartmouth students should not be allowed to vote in New Hampshire because they have little knowledge about local issues and are not really New Hampshire residents.

'04s make weightless trip on board of NASA craft

By Kate Lyon | November 1, 2004

Flanked by a "Dartmouth 2004" banner, Stephanie Feldman '04 and Lauren Talbot '04 floated weightlessly on board NASA's microgravity plane in the opening slide of their presentation "A Weightless Wonder: Our Foray into Microgravity" in Spannos Auditorium at the Thayer School of Engineering on Sunday. As part of NASA's Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunity Program, Feldman, Talbot and Lea Kiefer '04 spent the last eight months designing and testing experimental exercises to prevent muscle atrophy in astronauts while in space. The project culminated in a chance to test their ideas in the "Weightless Wonder," an antigravity aircraft that simulates the feeling of weightlessness in outer space at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, in July. Calling themselves the Dartmouth Resistance Exercises for Anti-Gravity Muscles, or the DREAM team, the women said they were inspired to search for better ways for astronauts to avoid the atrophy of muscles during weightlessness by the work of their adviser, Dr. Jay Buckley, a professor at the Dartmouth Medical School. On earth, muscles get constant exercise because gravity gives them something to resist.

Chaos at Home, Chaos Abroad

By Caleb Powers | November 1, 2004

Not to be an alarmist, but the day of reckoning might finally be upon us. And I'm not just saying this because the Red Sox won the World Series, though that's definitely part of it.
