Students face new visa laws

By Nathaniel Ward | January 10, 2002

College administrators are confident that new and proposed federal regulations that potentially restrict visas for international students will not cause any problems for those currently enrolled at Dartmouth. For future students, however, the outlook is less certain. "I don't anticipate [any] kind of problem at all" for current students, such as visas being revoked, Director of the International Office Steven Silver said. "As long as an international student is maintaining a full course of study and maintaining valid legal status," there is no cause for alarm, said Kenneth Reade, a student advisor in the International Office. The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act, passed by the House of Representatives on Dec.

School board mulls land swap

By Fred Yarger | January 9, 2002

Though the issue of rebuilding Hanover Middle and High Schools was a small part of yesterday's Dresden School Board Meeting, it was hot on the minds of attending Hanover and Norwich residents. A Hanover man pleaded with the board to keep the high school downtown, fearing Dartmouth will breach the "integrity of the town" if it acquires the high school's current site. A Norwich man responded, supporting building new schools on new sites as "the best way to improve education." He suggested that the board consider building a middle school in Norwich, "to empower Norwich as part of the Dresden District." The residents at the meeting were commenting on two plans proposed by the Dresden Building Options Committee, a committee specially formed to examine the issue.

'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' measures up perfectly

By Kelly Swartz | January 9, 2002

The movie opens with the depressing flicker of a neon sign outside of the Kansas City, Kan., location of the fictional nationwide restaurant chain, Bilgewater's (think Big Boy meets Applebys), where Hedwig and his band, The Angry Inch, are beginning their American tour. Once inside things instantly explode, and the sugary voice and screen presence of John Cameron Mitchell in drag as his transsexual main character, Hedwig, captivate a stunned audience of diners. "Are you ready, Kansas City!

Pres. Bush speaks at UNH

By N.F.S. Knight | January 9, 2002

DURHAM, N.H. -- In his first visit back to New Hampshire since the contested presidential election, President Bush celebrated the major legislative victory of his education bill amidst the turmoil of war. In front of an ecstatic standing-room-only crowd and before a huge banner reading "No Child Left Behind," the president spoke on both education and the war on terror. "The hope of the future for this country is not only to make sure that we're secure and we're safe, but the true hope for the country is to make sure everybody gets a good education," the president said. The speech was interrupted when a spectator yelled out, "What about the Afghani children?" -- referring to civilian casualties in the war with Afghanistan. For a moment, the president paused with a sad expression upon his face and the crowd hushed. The heckler was silenced by neighboring spectators who grabbed him and held him down for a time. Then another spectator, a girl, yelled, "We love you, President Bush." Immediately, the audience broke out into a roaring applause. The president then continued his speech. Afterwards, Secret Service agents escorted the young man out. When asked why he had interrupted the president's speech, the student would not comment and refused to give his name, saying he feared for his life. One spectator, 16-year-old Natalie Delisle, spoke on her reaction to the protester afterwards.

A Textbook Example

By Mark R. Simmons | January 9, 2002

To the Editor, In an op-ed piece entitled "The Usual Suspect" that appeared in the Jan. 3, 2002 issue of The Dartmouth, the author, Pedro Csar De Los Santos Lora, said "The Hanover (and the New Hampshire) Police, apart from being inexperienced, were incompetent, ignorant and racist." Believe it or not, people who commit serious crimes actually lie about, and even deny, involvement (imagine that!). As the author stated, he was a potential suspect in a murder investigation, and while he knew he wasn't involved, the criminal investigators could not know that.

This is the Winter of Fitness. It's time to stop eating bread and cheese for every meal, stop driving to classes (maybe), and stop sitting around for so many hours a day.
