Film series continues with Kelly classic

By Rachel Federman | October 2, 1996

"Singin' in the Rain," an all-time American classic, will be shown at 6:45 and 9:15 p.m. tonight as part of the Dartmouth Film Society's series "Reflections." This is a unique opportunity for many students to view a work that is a part of our cinematic heritage. Directed by Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, this film is so famous you may forget if you've actually seen it. Perhaps you may have experienced it through clips of the film or heard it alluded to in other ground-breaking films like "The Clockwork Orange" and "North by Northwest." The picture of Kelly swinging on a lamp post, soaking wet and thrilled with life, is perhaps a cinematic reference point.

SA passes resolution to distribute Mug Shots

By Erik Tanouye | October 2, 1996

In their first meeting of the term, the Student Assembly voted last night to purchase and distribute a copy of the publication Mug Shots to each of the freshman Residence Hall rooms. Low attendance forced the Assembly to postpone much of last night's agenda until next week's meeting. The resolution, sponsored by Assembly President Jon Heavey '97 and Assembly Vice President Chris Swift '98 estimated the action will cost the Assembly $3,000. The resolution will be partially funded by a sum of money bequeathed by last year's Assembly for use specifically in funding a publication like Over the Hill, which has not been issued since the 1994-1995 academic year.Mug Shots, like Over the Hill, features pictures of upperclassmen in addition to brief biographical sketches. "I'm really happy to see that resolution for Mug Shots go through," Heavey said. Assembly Treasurer Bill Kartalopoulos '97 presented the financial report at the beginning of the meeting.

A Vote for Bill Clinton Is a Vote for E.T.

By Marc Mcdonald | October 2, 1996

If you watch television, you can definitely tell it is an election year. Instead of micro-Smiling Steve driving around the Lebanon Pharmacy in his Tyco Black Thunder four-wheeler, there's campaign message after campaign message telling the viewers who they should vote for. A vote for Bob Dolegingrich, according to ads paid for by Clinton/Gore '96, means cuts in Medicare, social security, education, and anything else the government helps fund, in order to pay for Dolegingrich's 15 percent across-the-board tax cut. In his ads, Bob Dole states that a vote for Clinton means ... well, he has trouble on this one considering the economy if flying.
