Estrich speaks on state of politics

By Omer Ismail | April 16, 1999

Susan Estrich, professor of Law and Political Science at the University of Southern California, blamed excessive money and the media for the "sorry state of American politics" today in a lecture to 100 people in 105 Dartmouth Hall last night. Estrich, giving reasons for the loss of respect for and interest in politics, blamed money as a major cause of recent low voter turnouts. She said money is required to win any election today, and a politician must have it or obtain it by "sucking up to rich people." As an example, Estrich said tobacco companies have financed election campaigns because elected parties give them protection from negative, anti-smoking policies.

Alums of The Dartmouth make their mark in journalism

By Ritika Nandkeolyar | April 16, 1999

Students frequently see The Dartmouth as a hotbed of controversy, or perhaps a forum for campus issues and little else. But for many students, it has provided the first stepping stone to a career in journalism. As a number of College alumni can attest, The Dartmouth served as an unofficial apprenticeship that helped shape their future careers in media and entertainment. Former Dartmouth writers now work for newspapers and magazines across the country, including renowned organizations like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Roll Call and the Economist. Journalism training ground Trustee Susan Dentzer '77 wrote for The Dartmouth Spring term of her freshman year.

By Scott Brown | April 16, 1999

War is rarely, if ever, a moral method for resolving a conflict, but the situation in Kosovo troubles even the most peaceable among us.

CFS Has the Right to Self-Determination

By John Webb | April 16, 1999

To the Editor: In response to the April 15 letter "SA's Resolution Ignores Non-Affiliated Interests," I would like to say that the four authors, along with their wildly inaccurate statistics and use of phantom quotations, share an almost ludicrous view of the so called "CFS resolution" passed by SA this week.

Tuning Out

By Liam Kuhn | April 16, 1999

Back in the day when Howard Stern wasn't a nationally-broadcast household name, back when he could only be heard on New York area radio, before the television shows, movies, books -- even before his endorsements for Snapple helped make it the success it is today -- people hated him. I had the fortune (or misfortune) to listen to him in the car when my mom would drive my sisters and me to elementary school.

Luxon Letter Misses the Essentials of Christian Faith

By Amy Hooper | April 14, 1999

To the Editor: I am writing in response to the letter in The D written by Professor Thomas Luxon concerning the beliefs of certain campus Christian groups in relation to the recent hate mail incident here at Dartmouth. I would simply like to point out to both Professor Luxon and the Dartmouth community that the Christian belief in eternal salvation through acceptance of Jesus Christ and eternal damnation for those who do not in no way condones acts of hatred such as those perpetrated last week. His letter is simply an attempt to shun Christianity.

Trustees to meet this weekend

By Jen Taylor | April 14, 1999

The Board of Trustees will convene at the College at the end of this week and throughout the weekend for the first time since their surprise announcement in February of the five principles for social and residential change, and indications are the initiative is on the Trustees' agenda. Although Director of Public Affairs Laurel Stavis would not confirm that the implementation of the five principles is specifically on the Trustees' agenda, two students told The Dartmouth last night they and others were scheduled to speak with the Trustees about the revolutionary initiative. In addition, according to the Residential and Social Life Task Force BlitzMail bulletin, the Trustees will discuss the process by which the principles will be implemented. "We anticipate that the Trustees will discuss at their April meeting the process they expect to follow for deciding upon and implementing proposals addressing their principles, and the outcome of that discussion will then be shared with the Task Force and the Dartmouth community," the bulletin stated. Stavis would say only that the Trustees will be discussing "a broad range of issues." Among the issues that will be discussed at the April meeting are the professional schools and the faculty.

Dean of Tuck School reappointed

By Julia Levy | April 13, 1999

Dean of the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration Paul Danos accepted his reappointment at the College for another four years yesterday. "Dean Danos has been an outstanding leader who has, while strengthening Tuck's ongoing programs, also pursued an exceptional array of important initiatives," College President James Wright said in a statement. Danos became the ninth dean of the Tuck School, where he is also a full professor, in 1995. He said he is excited for his next four years as dean and called Dartmouth "a great place to live and a great place to work." "I do really like the concept of having focus and real high quality in everything that we do," he said. Danos has worked in three major areas during his time at Tuck: globalization, leadership in technology and the use of information technology. "We've created several programs around the world," he said.
