By Jean Blackerby | April 29, 1997

Approximately 350 students packed into a standing-room only Collis Common Ground last night to hear "Friendship in the Age of AIDS," a funny but sobering presentation by two men, who warned about the dangers of unprotected sex, especially among college-aged students. Despite the powerful subject matter, T.J.

The Last Bonfire

By Sam Bonderoff | April 29, 1997

Death. The Last Dance. The Big Sleep. The Grand Finale. The Toothless Grin. We are all born with one guarantee in life, and that is that at some point, perhaps eighty years or ten days down the line, we will die.

Lightweights are the only victors at weekend races

By Jonathan A. Lee | April 28, 1997

The Big Green crews fell short in all but two races this weekend as the JV lightweight eight and the freshmen lightweight eight took home Dartmouth's only victories on Saturday. While the women's crews and the lightweights struggled on their respective roadtrips to Princeton, NJ and Ithaca, NY, the heavyweights went head-to-head against the perennial powerhouse crews from Brown on the home course on the Connecticut River. In a four-way regatta against host Princeton, Penn and Virginia, the women's varsity line-up trailed the Tigers by seven seconds to take third while the Lady Cavaliers took top-honors in 6:57.7.

What Fun!

By Joseph Peters | April 28, 1997

It's a story with a familiar theme: a musical genius persecuted by those who lack his talent. In this particular variation on Amadeus and Immortal Beloved, a gifted child thwarted in his creativity by the tyranny of his father overcomes many trials to fulfill the promise of his genius.

Sophomore Swing

By Lee Istrail | April 28, 1997

As I lay awake in bed a few nights ago thinking about how different I've felt this year as compared to last, my roommate muttered in his sleep, "It's true." Propelled by this harbinger of coincidence, I knew I was on to something momentous. Last year I felt altogether overwhelmed, unsure of how to deal with the hectic trimester schedule, dealing with a roommate, the blitzkrieg of opportunities available, the uber-students who participated in all of them, all the 'shmobs I felt left out of, and a few draconian classes in which I was apparently tested on how well I could read the profs' minds (I didn't flunk any, but ... two C+'s in the same term is a tad frustrating). But this year things aren't nearly as overwhelming, and last term I felt, for the first time, like a true sophomore.

Men's tennis gets closer to winning the EITA title

By Hondo Sen | April 28, 1997

The men's tennis team marched through this past weekend unscathed and rolled over both its opponents, remaining undefeated in the Ivies and extending their season record to 15-3. The potential was there for a tension-filled showdown -- these two matchups were critical to the Big Green's dreams of a second Ivy League championship. But in the end, both Brown and Yale turned out to be only bumps in Dartmouth's road to Harvard and the EITA title. "The win summed up our season.

Temptations rock Leede audience

By Arika Easley | April 28, 1997

Leede Arena was packed on Saturday with parents and students who came to see Motown legends, The Temptations, as part of the Freshmen Parents' Weekend festivities. People of various age groups were able to sing along to all of the classic Temptations' songs, and to admire their famous dance routines. Fashion has changed since 1965 -- no more tight, brightly colored suits, "permed" hairdos or thick cat-eyed glasses. Wearing loosely fitted, pastel pink suits, The Temptations have transcended not only their style of dress, visually illustrating the stylistic changes in their music. The group who performed on Saturday consisted of a Music Hall of Fame inductee, the legendary Otis Williams, newcomer Terry Weaks and Harry Barry, Ron Tyson, and Theo Peoples, who have been in the group for several years. Williams spoke during the concert about his experiences in the group for 37 years.
