|

Out-of-state students can register to vote in New Hampshire for the upcoming presidential elections but they will have to change their permanent residency. Manchester Deputy City Clerk Paul Bergeron said "campaigns out there saying you can vote and register at the polls aren't telling the whole ramifications." Bergeron said there was no way for students to register to vote in New Hampshire without changing their residence. "Once you have filed the [registration] card here, you've changed your residence," he said ."You can de-register but there are requirements.

Where's the Romance?

I find it more than a little puzzling why one of the most aesthetically beautiful campuses in this country is teeming with about as much romance as an auto body shop in Detroit.

No Vote, No Paycheck

|

Please vote. Pretty please? That's what leaders from the Republican and Democratic National Committees are pleading to their respective electorate. Why is such begging going on? Democratic leaders realize many of the congressional seats they lost two years ago were strictly based on low turnout from their constituents. Republican leaders realize many of the congressional seats they won two years ago were strictly based on high turnout from their constituents. However, the tables may turn this year. With Bob Dole still significantly lagging behind President Clinton in the polls, RNC leaders fear Republicans won't show up at the polls thinking Clinton will win with or without their vote. That leaves the Democrats with a slight edge between the two partys' turnout which could lead to congressional seats falling into the hands of the Democrats. But all you Democratic faithful better not cheer yet because another scenario, a more likely one, is that a large Clinton lead in the polls would cause the Democratic electorate to think their vote isn't necessary for the re-election of the president. Which leads this election to be nothing more than a status quo election.

Campus heads explore space and community

|

About 20 students attended an informal panel discussion titled "Issues of Space on Campus" following the coeducation panel yesterday evening in the basement of Mid Fayerweather. Representatives from Amarna undergraduate society, Bones Gate fraternity, Milan, the Panhellenic Council, Phi Tau coed fraternity and the Student Assembly discussed issues of space on campus as well as issues concerning the Greek system and student voice on campus. Danielle Benware '97, an Amarna member, began the discussion by asking what issues concern students about space on campus. Panhell President Jess Russo '97 said, "The number of students hasn't increased, why does [space] seem to be such an issue now?" "There are a million different groups sprouting up all over the place" that are wanting space on campus, Russo said. She said La Alianza Latina and the College's new sorority are applying for space in addition to among other groups. Assembly Vice President of Student Life Meredith Epstein '97 said she thinks one important space issue on campus is that "a lot of social events happen at fraternities" where women might not feel comfortable. "Is there the right amount of social space where everyone can feel comfortable?" Epstein asked. Russo said the Women's Resource Center often shares its space with other groups. "It is good they share their space," Russo said.

Assembly names new community service chair

|

The Student Assembly last night named a new community service chair and approved a letter pledging the current Assembly's support for the Committee on Standards reforms recommended by the Assembly last spring. As the new vice president of the community service committee, Nancy Bloomfield '99 will help to define the role of that committee within the Assembly, said Assembly Vice President Chris Swift '98. Assembly President Jon Heavey '97 said Bloomfield will also serve as a liaison between the Tucker Foundation and the Student Assembly. "She's the kind of person that gets people together and gets people doing things," Swift said. The Assembly also passed a resolution sponsored by Case Dorkey '99 and Meredith Epstein '97 to send the COS a letter offering support and assistance in enacting the changes within the COS suggested by the Assembly last spring. The previous Assembly's resolutions called for an information session for prospective COS candidates, sophomore eligibility for COS positions, increased student participation in the COS and the inclusion of freshman voting privileges in electing COS members. The College has already begun to take action on these reforms, according to the letter. The letter states the Assembly wishes "to strongly urge that all its resolutions in regard to COS indeed be acted on in full, and to offer its assistance, wherever it may be needed." In addition, Swift announced that the Membership and Internal Affairs Committee will review and clarify the division of labor among Assembly executives. Swift said the new attendance policy requires the Membership and Internal Affairs Committee to notify members who have two absences, which they did.

Gould discusses evolutionary bias

|

Renowned scientist and writer Stephen J. Gould last night condemned human arrogance about evolution before a packed audience in Cook Auditorium. A zoology and geology professor at Harvard University, Gould has received numerous honorary degrees as well as literary and academic medals and awards for his books, which number more than 15. Gould spoke about the public's bias toward a linear view of evolution -- one whose changes favor more complex beings.

Gould takes time to chat and sign books

|

Following his hour-and-a half-lecture, Harvard Zoology and Geology Professor Stephen J. Gould lounged in his chair and answered questions, told jokes and signed copies of his books. Several dozen students and members of the Upper Valley crowded around the podium last night at the end of the Class of 1930 Fellow's visit to meet the renowned scientist and science writer. Gould spent time fielding questions and talking privately with audience members while signing books with a jovial grin and avoiding the flash of a photographer's camera. "When I'm chatting with people I want to talk to them, not have a flashbulb going off in my face," Gould said. Gould answered questions ranging from his definition of evolutionary progress to the differences between species complexity and specialization. After the crowd of people dispersed, Gould spoke with The Dartmouth. He acknowledged that while the topics discussed last night -- human arrogance regarding evolution and species complexity -- are topics that should be of interest both the public and the scientific community, the theories are not well-known to the public. "It is not a radical theory among professionals ... although they may not take it as far as I do," Gould said.

Most students stare intently at their exam booklets when taking the Graduate Record Exam. But some students who took the test last month in Los Angeles were concentrating on something else -- their pencils. On Saturday, federal agents broke up a cheating ring in which students allegedly paid $6,000 each to have answers to the GRE and other tests coded onto their pencils. The scheme used time-zone differences to defeat the test. Prosecutors allege a team of experts took exams in New York using assumed names, then telephoned the answers to Los Angeles George Kobayshi, of Arcadia, Calif., was arrested Saturday on fraud charges for providing test-takers with answers to the GRE, the Graduate Management Admissions Test and the Test of English as a Foreign Language. To identify the test-takers involved in the scheme, ETS will review confiscated records from Kobayshi's American Test Center and will investigate the center's clients, Kevin Gonzales, spokesman for the Educational Testing Service, the Princeton, N.J.
