Internship assistance available for students

By Michelle Rosen | October 15, 1996

Despite all the attention being paid to seniors seeking post-graduate employment, Career Services offers a number of services geared to freshmen, sophomores and juniors seeking leave-term jobs, internships, scholarships, and general career counseling. Career Services Director Skip Sturman explained students interested in taking advantage of his office should "start with self-assessment, then move to reality testing stage through internships and leave-term jobs so by the time they get to senior year they are sophisticated, savvy users of our offices." Daniel Neiderjohn '97 said "I regret not utilizing Career Services because I feel that I was somewhat limited in my choices and for that reason I didn't have the best opportunities for internships." Within the Career Services office is a listing of between 1,300 to 1,400 actual leave-term job opportunities, many of which have previously been held by Dartmouth students. Students can access these job descriptions through the use of their computers and the DCIS Navigator.

College reviews use of Green

By Erin Loback | October 15, 1996

Students, faculty and administrators working to create new policies concerning the use of the Green hope to complete a draft of their recommendations by November. Vice President and Treasurer of the College Lyn Hutton wrote in an e-mail message that she and Dean of the College Lee Pelton formed a committee last spring to "look at College policies regarding use of the Green." Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia said the committee, which is comprised of faculty members, administrators and students met once during Spring term to begin discussions on changes to the Green use policy. Use of the Green became a controversial topic last spring after the College refused to allow Native Americans at Dartmouth to hold their annual pow-wow on the area. Student Assembly member Case Dorkey '99, who sponsored a resolution the Assembly passed Spring term, which urged the College to look into its Green use policy, said he is concerned about what he sees as inconsistent enforcement of the current policy about Green use. "The policy they enforced for the pow-wow is different than the Handbook policy," Dorkey said.

Redman eschews bar for jazz

By Aditya Dutt | October 15, 1996

When tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard University in 1991, he was presented with two choices -- he could either go on to Yale Law School or he could try his luck on the notoriously competitive New York jazz club scene. He chose the latter. And, in 1991, when he took the first prize at the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz saxophone competition, there was little doubt among critics and fans alike that he had made the right choice. Five years later, Redman has racked up almost every major jazz award, played with the young lions as well as the standard-bearers of jazz, and recorded five extremely successful albums. Redman will appear at the Hopkins Center tonight, riding on the wave of his latest release, "Freedom in the Groove," a Warner Brothers production. Featuring Peter Bernstein (guitar) and a rhythm section of Peter Martin (piano), Christopher Thomas (bass) and Brian Blade (drums), "Freedom in the Groove" is a reflection of Redman's eclectic taste and diverse musical education. In the liner notes to the album, Redman wrote, "These days, I listen to, love, and am inspired by all forms of music.

Dean: old dept., new challenges

By Kyle Marchesseault | October 15, 1996

Mary Liscinsky, the new Assistant Dean of Residential Life, is not a newcomer to the Dartmouth campus. Liscinsky, who was an Area Director on the west side of campus from 1989 to 1992, returned to Dartmouth this summer with a wealth of experience and knowledge of residential life at the College. Liscinsky said she fondly remembers living in Maxwell Channing Cox Apartments and being able to actively participate in student life on campus. She said one of her main pleasures of being an Area Director was spending time with students. In 1992, Liscinsky left Hanover and worked in the residential office of Indiana University.

'Ghost and the Darkness' dramatizes true events

By Arvid Nelson | October 15, 1996

The skeletal remains of the man-eating lions which inspired the movie "The Ghost and the Darkness" can be seen today in the Smithsonian Institute. "The Ghost and the Darkness" is a rousing adventure tale of man-versus-nature in the grand tradition, at times a bit formulaic, but overall an appealing and diverting movie. The superb special effects and atmospheric set designs make it an entertaining film. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the movie, and incidentally a major selling point, is the fact that most of the events dramatized therein actually transpired. In the late nineteenth century, a pair of unusually vicious lions attacked an English railway camp in Africa, killing more than a hundred men in a period of several months. Val Kilmer plays John Patterson, the Irish engineer sent to northern Africa to build a railway bridge across a river. However, Patterson's work is brought to a halt when the camp is plagued by several unusually pernicious man-eating lions. Patterson is under considerable pressure from his employers in London to complete the bridge on time.
