By Brad Russo | April 5, 1999

Nearly a year after the campus debate over locking residence hall doors first erupted, no decision on the controversial action has been made -- and a recent announcement has made it clear that none will be made anytime soon. Acting Dean of the College Dan Nelson told The Dartmouth on Friday he has "decided not to decide" whether to lock exterior dormitory doorways.

A Slippery Slope Indeed!

By Abigail Marsh | April 5, 1999

Though I do not advocate censorship, it would delight me beyond measure were The Dartmouth to forestall printing any future articles by Conor Dugan '00 until he has demonstrated himself fit to write an editorial displaying some manner, any manner, of logical or coherent argument.

Student couple adjusts to parenthood

By Sarah Rubenstein | April 2, 1999

Last Saturday night, Adam Clayton '00 descended the stairs to the basement of Sigma Nu fraternity to greet his brothers, as he has on many nights during his Dartmouth career. But the news he brought with him was so exciting that it prompted all of the guys who were downstairs to run up to the first floor -- grinding to a halt only when they were standing about five feet in front of Sara Largay '00. The brothers proceeded to stare quietly at the person who was in Largay's arms -- seven-pound, eight-ounce Catherine Elizabeth Clayton, born at 12:15 p.m.

New Latino House to be established

By Jen Taylor | April 2, 1999

The College announced today the establishment of a Latino House at 38 North Main Street, the current location of the Office of Public Affairs. The new house will provide a social space for students interested in Latin American, Latino and Caribbean Studies (LALACS) and living space for 10 to 12 students as well as a visiting scholar or faculty member. Plans for the house are far from concrete, but La Alianza Latina member Sonia Price '99 said that students will meet with faculty members to discuss what the residence will provide. The movement to create a social space for Latino students has been ongoing for 10 years, Price said. Advisor to Latino/Hispanic Students Alex Hernandez-Siegel said, "We are grateful that we have gotten to this point." The Latino House joins La Casa, the Native American House, the Cutter-Shabazz Center, the Asian Studies Center and the Francophone house as well as German, Italian and Jewish apartments, as an affinity residential house. In addition to the social and living space, the Latino House may also provide a "smart classroom" for the LALACS department to educate the community about Latino students.

By Jeffrey Tanenhaus | April 1, 1999

Despite the arrival of bids from major soft drink companies Coke and Pepsi for the exclusive rights to serve their beverages in College dining halls and concession stands, many questions still swirl around the issue. The College has not had time to dissect the bids, and has not officially decided where the money gained from the contract renegotiations would go. "We don't even know how much money there is, and there is no guarantee of any contract or additional money," College Treasurer Win Johnson said.
