Lawyers for Robert Tulloch argued in a court filing yesterday that accusations that he and alleged accomplice James Parker planned the killings of Half and Susanne Zantop months in advance should not be heard at the teen's murder trial. Tulloch pleaded not guilty to the charge of conspiracy to commit murder -- the fifth charge brought against the Vermont teen accused of killing the two Dartmouth professors -- at an arraignment hearing at Grafton County Superior Court on March 6. In a motion to consolidate the conspiracy charge with the four existing first-degree murder charges, state prosecutors have alleged that the Zantop murders were only part of "an overall scheme by the defendant and James Parker to raise $10,000 illegally, to eliminate witnesses and to travel to Australia." Public defender Richard Guerriero said in the written objection to the state's request that consolidation would harm his client. "The defense was prepared for trial with an expectation of charges relating the events of one day, January 27, 2001," he wrote.

I recognize that my columns typically have approximately the social significance of a Hanson album, but as my last contribution to The Dartmouth for this term, I wanted to touch on a more serious topic: "Our Generation's Sense of Humor," [cue the John Williams-style inspirational music]. In the March 1 edition of The Dartmouth, Jessica Leinwand and Kelly Swartz published a column entitled "Students Uncover Elusive Secret to Sense of Humor at Dartmouth." I felt that this article was well-written, even-handed and showed exemplary restraint except maybe for the part where they described humor writers at Dartmouth as "animosity-ridden social rejects -- disgruntled and depressed malcontents lurking in dark dorm hallways and the basement of Collis." As a humor writer on this campus I must admit that I'm somewhat offended.

New Hampshire gubernatorial candidate Gordon Humphrey gave a brief synopsis of his platform and debated with audience members over a wide variety of topics ranging from education to communism at a meeting of the Hanover Republican Committee yesterday. Giving his position on education, Humphrey cited statistics showing that private schools in New Hampshire generally do a better job than public ones while spending less money per pupil. It's "because public schools are handcuffed -- strait-jacketed by bureaucracy," Humphrey said.
Teenagers whose parents don't restrict their access to R-rated movies are more likely to experiment with alcohol and drugs, according to a study released last month by the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center that has raised some old controversies about the role movies play in harmful behavior. Controlling for other factors, teens whose parents never allowed them to watch R-rated movies were just one-quarter as likely to report having tried cigarettes compared with those whose movie watching was unrestricted.

During the Golden Age of punk and new-wave music in the late 1970s and early 1980s, many renowned groups like the Clash, Sex Pistols, Talking Heads, Ramones and Cars emerged and found a high degree of success, both commercially and artistically. However, no artist that originated from that movement has lasted as long and has made as many landmark albums as Elvis Costello. Recently, Rhino Records released expanded versions of some of Costello's LPs, the most notable of these reissues being his 1978 classic, "This Year's Model." Released in the wake of Costello's stunning debut record, "My Aim Is True," "This Year's Model" expands on the sounds of his first release and produces some of the angriest, most passionate music of Costello's career. The first track, "No Action," functions as a perfect introduction to the set of songs.
Robert Tulloch pled not guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit murder today at an arraignment hearing at Grafton County Superior Court. In this third and latest indictment brought against the Vermont teen accused of killing Dartmouth professors Susanne and Half Zantop last January, prosecutors argue that Tulloch and alleged accomplice James Parker premeditated murder months in advance. In a motion to consolidate the conspiracy charge with the existing four first-degree murder charges against Tulloch, state prosecutors allege that the Zantop murders were only part of "an overall scheme by the defendant and James Parker to raise $10,000 illegally, to eliminate witnesses and to travel to Australia." Starting in July 2000, the two had conspired to enter several private homes with the intent of using violence to obtain ATM cards and PIN numbers, according to the motion released Monday.
