'04's screenplay wins 1st prize in Ivy Film Festival

By AnnMary Mathew | April 14, 2004

Screenwriter Snowden C. Wright '04 doesn't hesitate to describe himself as talented -- and many people, including the judges for the Ivy Film Festival, would agree. Wright's screenplay, "The Hurricane Party," won Best Feature Screenplay at this year's festival, held from April 9 through April 11 at Brown University. The screenplay's focus is "sex and drugs -- my two favorite things in the world," Wright said. The screenplay centers around the affair between a drug-dealer and a woman who is already dating a wealthy, older man. According to Wright, what he learned in Dartmouth's Screenwriting 1 and 2 classes helped distinguish his screenplay from the other contest entries.

By Jan Curtis | April 14, 2004

To the Editor: Each morning I scour the internet looking for news articles that may have been published on the Web in reference to Alabama's National Guard unit, 115th Signal Battalion, Florence, Alabama, which Jenn Buck's article discussed on April 12 ("In Iraq, war marked by endless contrasts.") My step-son, an officer and an 18-year veteran with the 115th Signal Battalion is currently serving with this unit in Mosul in northern Iraq.

The Passion of the CEO: T. J. Rodgers' Crusade

By Craig Steven Wilder | April 13, 2004

T. J. Rodgers' campaign for the Board of Trustees of Dartmouth deserves attention. It has certainly tickled the Wall Street Journal ("Mr. Rodgers' Neighborhood," Review and Outlook, March 26), which cheekily described the attempt of the head of a billion-dollar corporation to sit on the board of a multi-billion-dollar college as "insurgent." Rodgers' platform promises to eliminate diversity objectives in admissions, to end diversity programming, and to liberate the student body from the servitude of political correctness.

College unlikely to adopt new file-sharing filter

By Zachary Goldstein | April 13, 2004

In recent weeks, multiple colleges and universities across the nation have implemented a new network filter promoted by the Recording Industry Association of America in its latest attempt to end illegal peer-to-peer file-sharing. Dartmouth, however, will not join the pack, according to Computing Services director Robert Johnson. The College has not adopted the CopySense Network Appliance, a mechanism that some believe will help schools combat the growing problem of illicit file-sharing on high-bandwidth networks. Central Washington University was the first school to implement the filter, though "a couple dozen universities are currently in some stage" of implementation, CopySense chief executive officer Vance Ikezoye said. The filter, produced by California firm Audible Magic, examines the "digital fingerprint" of every file transferred over the network it patrols, cross-referencing fingerprints with a 4 million-song database. The appliance can then be set to automatically cancel the transfer of any copyrighted files.

How Does One Measure Success?

By Denise Anthony | April 13, 2004

To the Editor: No one would deny that the economics department at Dartmouth is outstanding (some of my good friends are economists!) or that it, like many others in the social sciences, is seriously understaffed, as described in a recent front page article (The Dartmouth, April 7). And certainly economics professor Blanchflower's claim in the article about the pure market value of an economics degree compared to a sociology degree is also largely correct.
