Forum addresses arts role in communities

By Antony Hudek | January 15, 1997

As Pablo Delano, this term's artist-in-residence, explained in 13 Carpenter yesterday, he wished to bring together four artists whose determination in participating in their community offers an alternative to the proverbial conception of the artist as a toiling and asocial genius. For Delano, Antonio Martorell, Nitza Tufino and Ralph Lee, "mission" and "vocation" have become synonyms for "art." Each one of these artists told different stories, yet they all partake in the same ideal.

CCAOD to discuss alcohol at forum

By Lillie Ng | January 14, 1997

The College Committee on Alcohol and Other Drugs will hold an open forum tonight in 105 Dartmouth Hall to discuss 11 "draft principles" which the committee says should be foundation of alcohol policy on campus. The CCAOD, which is comprised of several students, administrators and faculty members was re-established by Dean of the College Lee Pelton last spring to evaluate the role of alcohol and other drugs on campus. Although the principles -- which were drafted last November -- are not official recommendations, in the committee's opinion they represent "guidelines" for College policy which "may or may not lead to certain changes" in the current alcohol policy, CCAOD Chair Sean Gorman previously told The Dartmouth. Tonight's forum was organized "to get some input from students as to how they view the principles," according to Gorman, who is also the associate college counsel. "The idea is to gather together and discuss certain issues that the committee feels are valid and hopefully act together to resolve any problems there might be in the alcohol use at Dartmouth," said Chris Atwood '98, president of the Coed Fraternity Sorority Council. Atwood said he has encouraged all the presidents of the CFSC system to attend the forum. Participants in tonight's forum will be placed in small discussion groups "instead of having a free-for-all atmosphere," Gorman said.

This Week at the Hop: Commencement

By Sander Schlichter | January 13, 1997

It was inevitable. I mean, how long could they put it off? June is only 6 months away. A depressing thought in itself, but to actually be sent a document informing one of the sad event is almost inhuman. I am speaking, of course, about Commencement.

SASH to investigate stalking on campus

By Elizabeth Dziadik | January 13, 1997

The Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Committee recommended in its annual report, released last month, that the College continue its investigation into stalking and work to increase the awareness of the issue on campus. SASH, established during the 1987-88 academic year, educates Dartmouth students and faculty in an effort to prevent sexual assault and sexual harassment. SASH created a Subcommittee on Stalking during the fall of 1995 in light of increased awareness of the issue, according to Women's Resource Center Director Giavanna Munafo, one of SASH's co-chairs. Although the stalking subcommittee was formed in part as a response to anecdotal evidence that there was stalking on campus, the results of a survey taken by the group last spring did not wholly confirm this anecdotal evidence, the report states. The survey had asked people to provide their own definition of stalking, along with examples of stalking on campus and suggestions of techniques to help deal with the problem. In response to the failure of the surveys to confirm the evidence of stalking, the report states, "We were not convinced that our surveys truly reflected the reality of stalking on campus.

Hoops Hot At Home: The Big Green are back in the hunt for the Ivy title

By Kevin Demoff | January 13, 1997

It was a tale of two halves for the Big Green in both games over the weekend, but in the end it is the best of times for Dartmouth basketball. After the disappointing loss earlier in the week to Harvard, a much-needed sweep of Ivy foes Cornell and Columbia has re-established the Big Green as a contender to Princeton for the Ivy League crown. After the disappointing loss earlier in the week to Harvard, a much-needed sweep of Ivy foes Cornell and Columbia has re-established the Big Green as a contendor to Princeton for the Ivy Crown.

Mascot backers plan another survey

By Elysa L. Jacobs | January 13, 1997

The Big Green Backers, the coordinators of a search for a College mascot, will send an e-mail message to students this week asking if they support finding a mascot to accompany the Big Green nickname, according to a press release issued by the group. Big Green Backer Hank Brier '98 said the BlitzMail survey, to be sent to all students at the College, will ensure everyone has the opportunity to have a say in whether they want a mascot. The Big Green Backers set up a survey on a World Wide Web page last term to solicit suggestions for the mascot from students, but the survey is no longer on the Internet. The moose emerged as the most popular potential mascot in the web survey, having garnered the votes of 30 percent of the approximately 500 people who took part in the survey. "We got a great response [to the web survey] but we don't think we reached the entire campus," Brier said.

Thayer students to enroll in law classes

By Michelle Gregg | January 13, 1997

An agreement signed last week between the Thayer School of Engineering and the Vermont Law School will soon allow students at either institution to take courses in environmental issues at the other school. Thayer School Dean Elsa Garmire said the agreement, which begins with the 1997-98 academic year, will continue for five years. Vermont Law School Dean Kinvin Wroth said he anticipates more law schools entering into such exchange agreements "as resources grow tighter for every institution and subjects become more specialized." The two schools expect students to take an average of three courses at the other institution, but no one is permitted to take more than three courses at the other school over a two-year period, Garmire said. Not every student interested in taking classes at the other school will have the opportunity to enroll -- students must apply to a committee of administrators and faculty from both schools and receive permission to enroll in the courses, Garmire said. "We want to make sure the students that take courses here are qualified and will pass," she said.
