A Tribute

By Kevan Higgins | May 28, 1999

One of the things on everybody's mind lately is tradition. Many people feel that students are powerless to maintain tradition because of the impermanent nature of a student body at a four-year college.

Better than the Real World

By Liam Kuhn | May 28, 1999

I'm almost done with my first year here atDartmouth. As I look back on a year that went by unbelievably quickly, I can say one thing with relative certainty: so far, I've had a pretty good time here despite all the administration's proposed "improvements." Maybe this year wasn't really the Dartmouth experience I had hoped for or expected, but it was a worthwhile one nonetheless. And with the future of Dartmouth's social options in question, I'd like to say I envy the graduating seniors because they get to leave before the boom is lowered and Dartmouth is transformed into a failed social-planning experiment; a Harvard-North without the prestige or nearby city. But I don't really envy the graduating students.

By Eric Powers | May 28, 1999

Earlier this year, the Board of Trustees issued an unexpected set of five principles that would "characterize the future residential and social life of students at the College."

Civil discourse report released

By Kathrin Weston | May 27, 1999

Although students hold a generally positive view on the current state of discourse and interaction at Dartmouth, the numbers were split along racial and gender lines, according to the annual report recently released by the College's Civil Discourse Committee. During the Winter Term, the committee asked students to answer survey questions about how much they feel they are respected in campus discussions and what they think of the state of campus discourse in general. Differences between the sexes and between students of color and white students were pronounced in responses to survey questions addressing respect and support. Twenty percent of white students said they found themselves frequently offended by campus behavior, while nearly twice as many students of color expressed this feeling. Almost 20 percent of students of color and 12 percent of white students responded that their opinions are often not treated with respect at the College. Surprisingly, twice as many men as women responded that their views are often or very often not treated respectfully. Men and women also responded differently when asked about the importance of convincing others to change their views.

But what do you really want?
