Governor gets introduction to College at Trustee lunch

|

New Hampshire Governor and ex-officio Dartmouth Trustee Jeanne Shaheen attended lunch with the Board of Trustees on Friday afternoon in an attempt to familiarize herself with the College and involve herself in higher education in the state. In an interview with The Dartmouth before the lunch at College President James Freedman's home, Shaheen said, "I am really here to learn today and see how I can be helpful." She said her visit springs from her dedication to education at all grade levels in the state. "I have made education a priority in my administration," Shaheen said.

'The Saint' sins cinematically

|

After foregoing a second mission in the bat suit, Val Kilmer takes on a lesser-known superhero, Simon Templar, in "The Saint." As a chameleon-like master of disguise, Templar is James Bond with a makeup kit -- a smooth and tenacious master of clandestine operations. Loosely based on a TV series starring Roger Moore, "The Saint" follows Templar's frenzied adventures as he travels between Russia and England.

Success of 'Up All Night' sets new party standard

|

The jury is in, and the verdict? Dartmouth Up All Night is a bona fide success. Last Friday, the slumber party-like affair held in the Collis Student Center attracted large numbers of Dartmouth students with a bevy of activities and events. The success of the event may be viewed as a step away from traditional fraternity entertainment, and a movement to more diverse and creative activities for students. Almost every room in Collis was put to optimal use beginning at 9:00 p.m.

FSPs: They're not just for undergrads anymore: Alumni study with profs around the world

|

These days, earning a Dartmouth diploma does not necessarily signal the end of a Dartmouth education. Thanks to the Alumni Continuing Education program, some graduates of the College take classes from Dartmouth professors in classrooms in Kenya, Montana or Switzerland. The program pairs alumni and College professors for travel and classes on subjects ranging from Mozart to the book "A River Runs Through It." "Just because you're out of school doesn't mean you want to stop being educated," Program Manager Joyce Greene said. The trips vary from year to year, but tours in Tuscany and Alaska are often repeated due to their popularity, Green said.

Old Issues, New Leader

|

Last year Jon Heavey won the Student Assembly presidential election on the following platform: open up the Dartmouth telephone market; establish an Economics Department assessment of DDS; reform the service offices in McNutt Hall, especially the registrar; stagger the lunch hours of Dartmouth employees; keep Baker open; unlock all dorm doors; have Dartmouth Pride Dinners to build community. Do these issues sound familiar?

Don't Be Afraid To Take A Chance

|

I must admit that I've resigned myself to post-graduation unemployment. After explaining, over and over, ad nauseam, the merits and downfalls of the infamous D-plan, I developed a mantra: "But, (fill in name of concerned adult here), having a summer term allows us an off-term during the year, so that it is easier for us to snag a high-powered internship and thusly prepare for a ridiculously successful career after graduation!" I would smile smugly, knowing that such an internship would give me the needed advantage to scale ruthlessly over the salivating masses of regular college students.

Trash Television

How I miss it. All right, that isn't really true. My television viewing, even when I'm home is limited to about two shows, but I do miss some of the fine programming that you come across while channel surfing the upper reaches of the dial.

Candidates appear in second debate

|

The candidates for Student Assembly president and vice president appeared last night in a public forum that, much like the discussion at Collis Cafe on Tuesday night, lacked contentious debate. About 20 students attended the forum, which was hosted by La Alianza Latina in the Zimmerman Lounge in the Blunt Alumni Center. While most of the candidates primarily reiterated their platforms as presented in Tuesday's debate and responded to individual concerns of those in attendance, the most noticeable difference was a slight change in the stance of Scott Jacobs '99 and the addition of presidential write-in candidate Kathy Kim '00 to the forum. The debate, moderated by La Alianza president James Gallo '99, was attended by Assembly presidential candidates Frode Eilersten '99, Jacobs, Kim and Unai Montes-Irueste '98 and vice presidential candidates Dave Altman '99 and Nahoko Kawayku '99.

The Random Lock Up

It's a cold snowy night and I am walking back to the Choates. My head is buried into my neck, my fingers feel like icicles, my snot is freezing in my nose and through tear-blurred vision I watch my feet to make sure they are still moving.
