The College announced yesterday the names of 20 seniors chosen to serve together on the Class of 2003 Senior Executive Committee, the group responsible for organizing class activities over the next five years.

The members of this year's senior class chosen for the SEC are Joseph Ackley, Olufunmilola Adedokun, Amit Anand, Deanne Battle, Stephanie Bonan, Ann Chang, Daniel Chang, Rebecca Davis, Jonathan Eisenman, Jill Haltigan, Evan Konwiser, Vivian Lee, Ethan Levine, Joseph Morales, Richard Jay Nussbaum, Jason Ortiz, Andrea Salone, Kristina Todd, Jordyne Wu and Mia Yocco. These 20 students were chosen from a total applicant pool of 38 seniors, according to Jillian Gronski, assistant director of Alumni Relations.

Prof. discusses racial relations

By Sarah Betts | January 29, 2003

With books titled "Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word" and "Race, Crime and the Law" to his credit, it should come as no surprise that Harvard Law School professor Randall Kennedy's comments during a Community Dinner at the Roth Center yesterday centered around a controversial topic -- marital and sexual relations between people of different races. Kennedy's most recent book, "Interracial Intimacies," examines the complicated issues surrounding cross-racial relationships.

Capital campaign hires attract faculty criticism

By Alison Schmauch | January 29, 2003

Dartmouth is quietly gearing up for a six to seven year capital fund campaign, but its decision to hire additional development office staff to prepare for the campaign has been met with criticism from some faculty and students. Catherine McGrath, Associate Vice President for Planning and Operations, explained the difference between regular fund-raising and fund-raising for a capital campaign by saying that capital fund drives tend to be directed toward more clearly defined goals than general fund-raising is.

Bush targets Saddam in address

By Megh Duwadi | January 29, 2003

President George W. Bush pushed forward with heated rhetoric calling for Saddam Hussein's ouster yesterday evening, declaring that the Iraqi dictator can no longer be allowed to "dominate, intimidate, or attack" his own people, the United States or its allies with torture and weapons of mass destruction. In his second State of the Union address broadcast from the Capitol building, Bush cited Hussein's failure to account for weapons of mass destruction -- considered by the White House to be a lethal security risk in the war on terrorism -- as one of several reasons why the United States must effect a regime change in Iraq. The urgent need for such action, Bush said, may make it necessary for the United States to launch its own preemptive war if gaining the world's approval takes too long.

New line key to hockey victory

By Michael P. Hamilton | January 29, 2003

While four points would have been ideal this weekend, it is safe to say the Big Green men's hockey squad will settle for one impressive win over Rensselaer and one huge load lifted off their backs. The four-game losing streak was snapped in the grandest of fashions in the 7-3 victory, as the offense that had been sleeping for several games awoke with a start and exploded for seven goals. The confidence problem that had plagued the squad in the last few weeks was not visible last night.

Campus plant turns up the heat

By Sarah Betts | January 28, 2003

Editor's Note: This is the third in a series of five articles about Dartmouth and the environment. Anyone who has seen the plume of smoke coming from behind the Hopkins Center may have guessed that Dartmouth has some sort of power plant, but they probably wouldn't guess that it generates around 315 million pounds of steam a year and supplies 40 percent of the College's electricity. Dartmouth's power plant is the source of most of the energy and heating consumed on campus, which is no slight amount, according to Associate Vice President of Facilities, Operations and Management John Gratiot. It operates by burning approximately 110,000 barrels of oil a year to generate steam, Gratiot said, which is used to heat and cool buildings.

Change the Channel

By William Meland | January 28, 2003

As your typical music-obsessed Dartmouth student, I can't help but go green with envy upon hearing about the exciting craze that's been sweeping college campuses for several decades now: they call it "free-form college radio." Apparently, some schools have this cool deal where students can broadcast their favorite tunes in crystal clear FM stereo, without being told what to play and when to play it.
