Town revises Chase Field restrictions

|

The Hanover Planning Board revised its restrictions of the College's construction plans for Chase Field last night, but it is unclear if the changes will put an end to the battle over the proposed new sports complex. The board spent over an hour at Town Hall discussing and revising the wording of many of the 17 conditions the board placed on Dartmouth's original site plan for construction on Chase Field. But neither side -- the College nor the group of Hanover residents fighting the construction -- gave any indication last night that the revisions would cause them to drop the appeals they filed in Grafton County Superior Court following the board's original decision. . . . . .record is produced, and then we'll go from there," DeWitt said. Chase Field is currently used by the soccer, lacrosse and field hockey teams.

Students voice mixed reactions to Clinton's speech

|

Reactions to President Clinton's State of the Union address were mixed among students who watched the speech last night. Students generally agreed that the timing of the speech was acceptable, citing the president's constitutional requirement to deliver the speech as reason not to delay, despite impeachment proceedings in the Senate. "I think it is really important to show the country that the business of the country is being conducted," Scott Jacobs '99 said.

Hallmates

Every freshmen year at college is different and unique. Looking back to those days, I realize how bizarre my experience was and what eclectically weird hallmates I was surrounded by.

Clinton delivers State of the Union

|

Exactly one month after the House of Representatives voted to impeach him, President Bill Clinton stood before the same body last night and delivered a State of the Union address designed to appeal to all members of the political spectrum while at the same time signifying to his crucial liberal base that his loyalty remained with them. This tight-wire act was performed in Clinton's typical highly stylized and well polished manner, offering something for everyone -- the only thing missing was an entirely active audience. Republicans generally reserved their applause for key points with either a highly conservative or completely non-partisan nature and rarely rose to their feet.

Realistic Dartmouth players appear in new video game

|

"It's not easy being green," Kermit the Frog often sang. But for Dartmouth, sometimes it's not even easy to be the Big Green. 989 Sports's "NCAA Final Four '99" is a realistic and competitive college basketball video game for Sony's Playstation which, with the possibility of playing with nearly 300 Division I teams, should set the standard for hoops games. Naturally, upon putting the game in the machine, I figured where better to open up the college basketball season then in our own Leede Arena with Dartmouth taking on the visiting Providence Friars. The video game wins major points on realism with coaches pacing the sidelines, 3D graphics and play-by-play commentary.

Tucker Dean Brown to resign at year's end

|

Dean of the Tucker Foundation Scott Brown '78 announced yesterday he will be stepping down from his post at the end of the academic year, citing two book projects as the main reason for his resignation. Brown, who has held the position since 1996, told The Dartmouth last night his decision to resign from his post was smattered with "a little bit of regret." "I certainly have mixed feelings," Brown said.

Sexuality Trivialized

I raise these questions because it seems that the promises of sexual liberation given to our parents' generation and thus passed on to us have hardly been fulfilled.

Campus hit hard by winter flu outbreak

|

Everyone on campus is sick -- or at least it seems that way. Fevers, sore throats, coughing and fatigue are currently sweeping the Dartmouth community as it battles the first viral wave of 1999 winter. The flu may be interrupting the work and sleep schedules of many students, but according to Jack Turco, director of Health Services at Dick's House, this wave of viruses is completely normal for this time of year. Turco added that the fact that students are cooped up inside where germs cannot escape contributes to the spread of the viruses. Eliot Grigg '01 complained of a headache, coughing, sore throat and aching.

Skiers feel confident with mix of experience, youth

|

The Dartmouth ski team has high hopes for the coming season, and with good reason. A healthy team, the experience of successful veterans--including six returning All Americans--and a talented group of recruits make the outlook for this season even brighter than last year's successful campaign. "It's going to be an exciting season," said men's nordic coach Ruff Patterson. The Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA) carnival circuit opens with the Bates Winter Carnival Jan.

Love Is All a Big Myth

Now of course, you might be saying to yourself, "What is this guy talking about? I am a person, as normal as the next person, and here I am, in love." Well, you are in the minority.

Dartmouth students struggle to win Rhodes

|

This past December when the year's 32 Rhodes Scholars were announced, Harvard, Yale and the University of Chicago had much to celebrate, with Harvard and Chicago producing three recipients each and Yale producing two. Meanwhile in Hanover, students and administrators were left to wonder for another year what's wrong with Dartmouth -- out of the 12 Dartmouth students who applied only one made it to the final round and none were selected as Scholars. With just two winners within the last four years and not much success in the recent past, Dartmouth's Chair of the Committee on Graduate Fellowships Monika Otter said she is puzzled by the College's inability to produce Rhodes Scholars. "I wish I knew better," she said.
