Colonize This

|

I'll admit it. I've become something of an Olympics addict over the past week or so. Last night, after finding myself hypnotized by Michelle Kwan and giggling childishly at Irena Slutskaya (she's got a funny name), I began to wonder, "Hey, why are there no great Indian Winter Olympians?

Panelists discuss black issues

|

Although the environment at Dartmouth has changed tremendously and boundaries have lessened between races, black students at Dartmouth still face difficult issues, according to associate history professor Judy Byfield '80 and three other panelists. Byfield spoke on a panel of four Dartmouth alumni during this Thursday's community hour, dubbed "Black at Dartmouth." Both Byfield and Special Assistant to the President for Institutional Diversity and Equity Ozzie Harris '81 had some negative memories of events on campus. Byfield came to Dartmouth in 1976, the first year that women graduated from Dartmouth.

"Chechnya is quickly becoming a nation of invalids and fresh graves," Chris Kline, the last Western journalist to leave the war-torn state, told an audience at the Rockefeller Center yesterday as he recounted his clandestine journey to the front lines of the conflict.

Norwich eliminates secret soc.

|

Secret societies at Dartmouth take a back seat to Greek life and remain a mystery to most. At nearby Norwich University in Northfield, Vt., however, where no fraternities or sororities exist, the recent discovery by administrators of an unauthorized secret society, Left Out Society, caused a stir on campus. While Norwich strongly condemns and prohibits secret societies, six of the organizations exist at Dartmouth and are acknowledged by the school.

Tulloch's defense options narrow

|

New details released Tuesday in a grand jury indictment of Robert Tulloch will shape arguments at the April trial, but the precise effect of these revelations remains unclear, according to legal experts contacted by The Dartmouth. Whether or not the latest information -- which states that Tulloch and James Parker visited four houses before targeting the Zantops -- will endanger Tulloch's insanity plea depends largely on the medical conditions that defense attorneys use to build their arguments, Boston University School of Law professor Wendy Kaplan said. Even Tulloch's defense team may not yet realize how large or small an impact the revelations will create because lawyers are likely still in the process of gathering and analyzing information from medical experts, Vermont Law School professor Michael Mello said.

Oh, Olympics

|

My parents and I had a lovely dinner at Molly's this weekend when they came up for a visit. After dinner, our server tried to tempt us with delicious sounding desserts and warm beverages, but the Horowitz clan had something more important on the agenda -- the Olympics. When my parents asked me what I wanted to do when they came to visit, watching the Olympics was my number one choice.
