By Matt Mcdonald | May 22, 1997

This crowd has gone deadly silent. Cinderella story out of nowhere, a former greenskeeper now about to become ... picked up by the Hanover police.

Focus Should Be On Sexual Assault, Not the Greek System

By Robert Z. Norman | May 22, 1997

To the Editor: Your interesting first article on student-athletes is subtitled "Academic, athletics and social life concerns often prove daunting for student-athletes at an Ivy-League College." You illustrate this theme with Sally Annis '97, "one of the small group of athletes whose excellence in the classroom is repeated in the gym." Not wishing to take any credit away from Sally, I would argue that she is more the norm than the exception. I have been privileged to know and to work with some outstanding students over the past several years and I find that at least half of them are seriously engaged in athletics.

Frost Festival honors student plays

By Carolyn Collins | May 22, 1997

The 70th Annual Frost Play Festival returns to the stage tonight. The festival consists of a series of plays created entirely by Dartmouth students responsible for the writing, direction and performance of the works. "One Hundred Days" by Kyle Ancowitz '98, "The Perfect Woman" by Jo Weingarten '98 and "You Are Here" by Stefan Lanfer '97 are this year's winners of the Frost Play-writing Competition, which accepts one-act play submissions each winter term. The submitted scripts are further transformed by the interpretations of student directors and the personality and vitality which the student actors bring to the characters. Audiences usually enjoy the Frost productions not only for their consistently high quality, but for the experimental vigor not found in familiar dramas. This year, there are several factors to make the productions unique, other than the material itself.

Gimme Some Shelter

By Kevin Findlan | May 21, 1997

I've heard the low, echoed, fatuous moans of freshmen blending with the collective tearing of envelopes, punctuated by heavy sighs as their hazed eyes swerve to the words "Hinman" or "McLane" stamped seemingly in blood upon their fall housing assignments.

Class Day speakers announced

By Eun Lee Koh | May 21, 1997

The Senior Executive Committee announced yesterday the names of the student and faculty speakers who will represent the Class of 1997 at the Class Day ceremony and Commencement exercises. The committee members have selected the class orator, class historians, the faculty speaker and the class marshals for this year's ceremonies from the nominations solicited from the senior class several weeks ago, committee President Sam Keating '97 said. "Everyone was chosen to recognize the different contributions they have made" to the senior class, Keating said. Seniors and their families, administrators, faculty and interested members of the Dartmouth community will gather in the Bema for the Class Day ceremony on the morning of June 7. Anne Jones '97, who has been chosen as class orator, will give a "classical or literary-type speech" at the ceremony "reflecting upon how the seniors have changed and grown" during their four years at the College, Keating said. Chosen for their sense of humor, the four historians -- Chris Miller '97, Jen Pariseau '97, Sariya Sharp '97, and Caleb Scott '97 -- will give a collaborative account recapping their college years in a comical skit, Keating said. The committee has selected Government Professor Linda Fowler to be this year's faculty speaker. "The faculty member who is selected as the speaker is usually someone who has had a close relationship with the students in the graduating class during their four years here," Keating said. The senior class president as well as Keating will give a speech during the ceremonies, and awards will be presented to the senior class, Keating said. During the 227th Commencement exercises held the following day on June 8, Yun Chung '97, Theresa Ellis '97, Meredith Epstein '97, Jon Heavey '97, Jewel Jones '97, Keating, Sea Lonergan '97, and Michael B.

Student, professor duo to visit war-torn Bosnia

By Erika Patrick | May 21, 1997

Two Dartmouth women will venture into war-torn Bosnia today to attend a women's leadership conference and to bring aid to the victims of years of Serbian-Muslim fighting. Rupa Mukherjee '99 and English Professor Priscilla Sears leave for Croatia today and will travel from there into Bosnia. The pair will be visiting the town of Sanski Most, a village currently occupied by Bosnian Muslim refugees. Approximately 50 women from around the world will meet in Sanski Most for the conference, including Muslim women from the area who are trying to start local organizations to help mediate the conflict between the Muslims and the Serbs. Mukherjee said the village is so devastated from the fighting that the Serbs are not even interested in regaining control from the Muslim refugees who have taken over there. Mukherjee said she has very personal reasons for feeling a "tremendous need to help these people." "This is something that I just need to do," she said.
