Hasidic rabbi brings Jews closer to faith

By Phil Salinger | October 22, 2004

Every Friday night, anywhere between 10 and 20 students, mostly Jews, assemble in Rabbi Moshe Leib Gray's condominium for prayer, a home-cooked meal and lots of conversation about politics, religion and life. Gray, a 25 year-old husband and father of one, runs the Dartmouth Chabad chapter, a Hasidic Jewish group that he helped organize on campus a little over a year ago.

Stevens leads Big Green ladies with 165

By Avni Shah | October 22, 2004

The women's golf team traveled to Connecticut for the Yale Invitational this weekend, finishing seventh out of the nine schools at the two-round tournament. It was a disappointing finish for Dartmouth, as they have far more potential than they showed on the Yale course.

By Zachary Pfeiffer | October 22, 2004

I guess I have to start out with a confession: I'm fairly uninformed. I don't find newspapers that enjoyable, and I'm lucky if I can pick up The Dartmouth a couple times a week and give it a quick read.

SA to overhaul blitz terminals

By Alex Belser | October 21, 2004

Dartmouth's student government is in the midst of plans to overhaul 48 aging BlitzMail terminals around campus -- but they want the College's help. Student Assembly passed a proposal Tuesday that would allocate up to $10,000 for the purchase of new computers, with the stipulation that the College match those funds. "It's important for the College to contribute to something that's really become a part of daily life at Dartmouth," Student Body President Julia Hildreth '05 said. With $20,000, Hildreth said the current plan would be to try to purchase 50 eMacs from Apple Computer.

By AnnMary Mathew | October 21, 2004

The introduction of a new conservative journal to the literary scene at the College might strike some as combative, but the editors of The Beacon want Dartmouth to know their journal has loftier ideals.

Midterm fiasco disrupts calculus course

By Alex Belser | October 21, 2004

Taking two midterms in one day is not most students' cup of tea. Having to retake one of them because it got lost is pretty close to a nightmare. But an estimated 12 students in Math 8, an introductory calculus course, will have to do just that after their exams were lost Oct.

This is Leadership?

By Mike Liroff | October 21, 2004

In their second debate, John Kerry called President Bush -- appropriately -- "Orwellian." He referred then to the cheery names the Bush administration has given its regressive environmental policies: The Clean Skies bill excludes the biggest greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, and has led to dirtier skies; the Healthy Forest Initiative actually injured forests by opening them up to logging.
