By Sarah Betts | February 27, 2002

Artists lament vandalism

By Richard Lazarus | February 26, 2002

Dartmouth senior art majors and a wide range of administrators and faculty members met last night to try to understand how Friday's devastating vandalism of the art department's studio affected its targets -- as people, students and artists. The evening was marked by the students' widespread belief that the only person or people who could have committed the vandalism were those within the department, and, more than that, those with an understanding of art. The placement of clay pieces in the sculpture studio tool room, the fact that the vandal knew minute details of where studio art majors' work was kept, the way he or she appears to have entered the studio and the choice of using yellow paint -- the color that the sculpture department uses to mark its equipment -- to mark the work all contributed to this feeling. "It was the expression of someone close to us, by an artist," said studio art senior major Laura Tepper '02.

Koop: state needs anti-tobacco funding

By Alison Schmauch | February 26, 2002

Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop '37 recently appeared before the New Hampshire state legislature to promote a new bill that would increase state funding for smoking prevention programs. New Hampshire currently receives $46 million every year from a national settlement against the tobacco companies, but only $1.3 million of that money is reserved for funding smoking-prevention programs or to treat addicts.

Overhyped Starsailor debut never able to take off

By Sam Lederer | February 26, 2002

"If you get high on life, don't leave me behind," sings Starsailor front man James Walsh on "Lullaby," a track from the band's debut album, "Love is Here." Unfortunately, James, that is exactly what I would like to do with you and the other three members of your sub-par indie rock quartet: leave you behind, and forget about you. Starsailor has been hyped up for over a year now.

Baked Goods

By Jourdan Abel | February 26, 2002

I've apparently taken a sabbatical from writing this winter. The term really did get off to a promising start, one filled with many juicy topics for columns: "My Life as a TA," or "Embarrassing Oneself in Front of 44 Students by Acting Out a 19th Century Romanticist Painting and Ending Up With Rug Burns," "Winter Does the Darndest Things" or "Wow!

Try the Food at The Pavilion

By Peter C. Augello | February 25, 2002

To the Editor: In response to Conor Jarvis '02's column of February 14, 2002, "The Price of Freedom," I agree that the Dartmouth Dining Service meal plans seem problematic, but to blame the situation on The Pavilion is unfair.

The Proper Diagnosis

By Victoria Potterton | February 25, 2002

To the Editor: Although Dick's House clearly misdiagnosed the cases of pinkeye as viral and should have swabbed patients for bacterial infections in the first place, the staff was right to avoid giving antibiotics to students who merely requested them without proof of a bacterial infection.

A Major Oversight

By Roxanne Khamsi | February 25, 2002

To the Editor: Regarding the article in The Dartmouth of Feb. 21, "Pink eye spreads after misdiagnoses," I was absolutely shocked to read a statement from Director of Health Services Dr. Jack Turco about his surprise at the quick spread of pink eye among members of the Dartmouth community.

Unknown vandals wreck artwork

By Tara Kyle | February 25, 2002

Vandalism Friday night devastated the work of student artists in the sculpture, architecture and painting studios of Clement Hall, as well as the Hopkins Center's print-making shop and the new AREA gallery space at the Top of the Hop. The person or persons responsible appeared to systematically target studio art interns and senior majors, using yellow spray and oil paint to deface most works in sight. The graffiti on individual pieces was often slight, but care was taken to hit every piece.
