Men's hockey battles Princeton, Yale at home

By Jonathan A. Lee | February 21, 1997

A two-game sweep over Princeton (9-7-2) and Yale (4-12-2) would be sweet for the Big Green this weekend. It's certainly something the players all want -- but more importantly, a sweep is something this team absolutely needs if it wants any chance of playing in the post-season. The Big Green are currently 10th in the ECAC, five slots south of the Tigers and one notch above the Bulldogs. "The implications of this weekend's games are enormous," said Head Coach Roger Demment.

Call Me Disillusioned

By Seth Abrahson | February 21, 1997

As a sophomore at Dartmouth College, and an English major whose youthful idealism had never stretched beyond the confines of the theoretical, I decided, in the summer of 1996, to make myself useful to the world at large. Immediately faced with the immensity of my task, I bided my time, opting to sit in front of my BlitzMail and wait for an opportunity to appear.

College reduces kegs by one-third

By David Kung | February 21, 1997

The College decided last week to reduce the number of permissible kegs at all Greek parties by one-third following a recommendation issued by the Hanover Fire Department. Fire Chief Roger Bradley said a fire safety warning letter was issued due to concerns about overcrowding at parties hosted by fraternities, sororities and co-ed houses. Until the change, the formula had permitted alcohol purchase for one-and-a-half times the maximum fire capacity of the house hosting the party. The fire department recommended the Office of Residential Life "cease issuing permits" based on the existing formula and to instead use exactly the maximum capacity in calculating the formula. Until the fire department meets with ORL, the alcohol policy will continue to be calculated based on the maximum capacity of a Greek house instead of one-and-a-half times the capacity. Besides the maximum fire code capacity of the house, the formula also takes into account the duration of the party and the percentage of students on campus of drinking age. The formula assumes each student over the age of 21 will drink one 12-ounce beer an hour.

College strives for ethical investment of endowment

By Lillie Ng | February 20, 1997

With the recent decision by PepsiCo, Inc. to join several other companies in ceasing to do business in Burma, all institutions and organizations with business ties to the troubled nation -- including American colleges and universities -- have been forced to re-evaluate their investments. For Dartmouth, which in the 1980s experienced a tumultuous battle over whether or not to divest from South Africa, the recent pullout again brings to light the issue of how the College decides where to do business. According to College Director of Investments Jonathan King, the College does not have any direct investments in Burma -- a nation controlled by a military regime which has a reputation for serious human rights abuses. Yet, in the current global environment with many markets and businesses worldwide, King could not say with "100 percent certainty" that the companies which the College has investments in do not have corporate ties to Burma. "In the Investment Office, we don't set policies regarding any kind of social investment standards," King said. "It's our role to maximize the return given the policy and risk parameters given" by the Board of Trustees, King said.

Course catalogue to move on-line

By Elysa L. Jacobs | February 20, 1997

Students will be able to browse the Organizations, Regulations and Courses book on the world wide web later this year, and they may be able to skip registering in person at Alumni Hall due to advancements in putting College resources on-line. "We hope the day is not too far away where going to the Registrar's offices is a thing of the past and we can abandon the registration scene at Alumni Hall," Registrar Thomas Bickel said. Students will be able to electronically search for classes by various criteria, like meeting hour or distributive requirement.

Collis chefs add spice, flavor to Collis Cafe menu

By David Horowitz | February 19, 1997

Students who regularly eat at Collis say the meats served at Collis Cafe are colorful, fun, and daring -- and so are the Collis chefs. Brent Bradley and Derek Lorrigan plan and oversee the cafe's entrees while Mary Anne Milanese takes care of baked goods such as the 'Collis brownie,' famous since she brought it to Dartmouth Dining Services eight years ago. Collis Cafe's Assistant Manager David Cornwell said Bradley and Lorrigan "give us a real eclectic blend of cooking." "Cooks here have a lot of freedom to plan their own menu, which the cooks don't have in other kitchens," Cornwell said. When it comes to cooking, Lorrigan and Bradley exude tremendous enthusiasm, a trait they say is shared by all Collis staff.
