Minority reps hope proposals will be heard

By Deborah Bernstein | November 12, 1999

While representatives of College cultural groups express hope that the Student Life Initiative will improve life for minorities on campus, many are unsure if the steering committee's recommendations will include the specific proposals their groups have advocated. Several campus cultural groups -- including the Afro-American society, the Korean American Students Association and the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan -- submitted formal proposals to the Dean's Task Force, which collected input for the steering committee last spring. AAm President Olivia Carpenter '00 said she hopes the steering committee's impending recommendations and the ultimate changes the Initiative brings will improve the environment on campus. The AAm's proposal includes ideas about improving residence halls, expanding cable plans for student rooms, as well as diversifying businesses in Hanover. The AAm proposal also recommended that actions which violate the Dartmouth Principle of Community should become subject to judicial review.

By Jourdan Abel | November 11, 1999

Where does that mysterious brick smokestack behind the Hop go? Does anyone ever think about the power plant attached to that smokestack, the one that supplies us all with (usually too much) heat and electricity? Well, I do.

November Madness

By Kelly Schneiter | November 11, 1999

Duke was unquestionably the finest team in college basketball last year -- until they played Connecticut for the national title. During the off-season the Blue Devils lost four players to the first round of the NBA draft, including Player of the Year Elton Brand, rendering themselves mortal for the 1999-2000 NCAA basketball season.

Green blank Red Raiders, 3-0

By Mitch Yashiro | November 11, 1999

Senior defenseman Christine Castro '00 made the play of her life when the team needed her the most. Castro turned aside Colgate's early attack when their corner kick landed on the far side where a Red Raider was waiting to put the ball in the net. But the co-Captain stood firm, blocking the first shot and watching the second try which flew just over the crossbar. "It was a great play," Colgate head coach Kathy Brawn said.

Bookstores sue Varsitybooks.com

By Rachel Osterman | November 11, 1999

In another lawsuit against Internet retailers, the National Association of College Stores is suing Varsitybooks.com, accusing the on-line bookstore of false and misleading advertising concerning textbook discounts. The association, which represents about 3,000 stores around the country, including the Dartmouth Bookstore and Wheelock Books, is claiming that while Varsitybooks.com advertises textbooks at up to 40 percent off of "suggested list prices," only a small percentage of their books come at that price. According to the association, in the textbook industry, where publishers sell their books to college stores and offer only a suggested student price, there is no such thing as a universal retail price.

Minear speaks on works of Dr. Seuss

By Ritika Nandkeolyar | November 11, 1999

In a lecture and slide-show yesterday afternoon, University of Massachusetts Amherst History Professor Richard Minear presented the lesser known political cartoons of popular children's author and cartoonist Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel '25. Minear collected 200 of the 400 Geisel cartoons published by the New York newsmagazine PM in 1941 and 1942 in his recent book "Dr. Seuss Goes to War: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel." "Dr. Seuss has become a cultural icon, as a human being he has disappeared, hopefully this project will refocus the attention," Minear said. The Leftist-oriented PM was published daily from 1940 to 1948.

By Amit Anand | November 10, 1999

Dean of Admissions Karl Furstenberg criticized the decision of certain universities, such as Brown, Harvard and Georgetown Universities, to allow students to apply to multiple schools under the Early Action program, describing the new policy as " irresponsible." Under the new policy, students are not limited to selecting only one school to apply as an Early Action candidate.
