Heavey propelled by personality

By Jacqueline Rose | April 25, 1996

The presidential candidates in this year's Student Assembly elections all ran on similar platforms, vowing to continue building the organization's legitimacy, address social issues on campus as well as promising student services. But somehow, presidential candidate Jon Heavey '97 managed to pull clear away from the rest of the field, winning last week's election by more than 500 votes. Students say it was not Heavey's campaign platform or promises that won him the landslide election, but instead point to his personality as the distinguishing factor among the candidates. A likable guy with good ideas "Last year it was a mandate -- [Student Assembly President Jim Rich '96] ran as an outsider trying to reform the SA," presidential candidate Steve Salemi '97 said after the results had been announced last night.

Men's lacrosse thrashes UVM

By Jesse Sweet | April 25, 1996

Yesterday's men's lacrosse game could have been the biggest shoot that did not include postal employees in years if the University of Vermont's offense had been able to penetrate the iron curtain of Dartmouth's defense. Yesterday's game could have been a hard-nosed defensive battle if UVM had held the lean mean scoring machine Scott Hapgood '97 to under five goals. Yesterday's game could have been an epic tale of two teams battling with pride and determination to attain the status of "the champion" if UVM had found some way to slow down the high-powered Big Green lacrosse team. As Vermont discovered, all the "could have been's" in the world do not win lacrosse games.

Python ponders 'Meaning of Life'

By Tom Jawetz | April 25, 1996

In the course of life, humans are forced to ponder their existence and try to answer those deep philosophical questions, such as "why were we placed on this earth?" "What is the meaning of it all?" Finally, there comes a film that gives answers more explicitly stated than Jack Palance's quizzical "one thing" in "City Slickers." Monty Python address the puzzling topic of "The Meaning of Life," directed by Terry Gilliam, and breaks it down into its bare essentials. In doing so, Monty Python returns to its original BBC television style.

Students arrested on two charges

By Charles Davant | April 25, 1996

Hanover Police arrested Peter Alphonso '96 yesterday on charges of possessing stolen property. According to a press release issued by the Hanover Police Department, the police received warrants to search Alphonso's dorm room in the Choates cluster and car on April 11. The police seized an Aiwa stereo system and an Apple StyleWriter II computer printer, both of which were reported stolen in a burglary at Russell Sage residence hall last May. After being arrested on the felony charge, Alphonso was released on $1,500 personal recognizance bail. Alphonso was arrested on separate charges of making a false report to law enforcement last Thursday. That charge was based on an incident in May, 1995, when Alphonso allegedly falsely reported having several pieces of sound equipment stolen from his car. After the first arrest, which is classified as a misdemeanor punishable by $1,200 to $2,000 in fines and up to one year in prison, Alphonso was released on $500 personal recognizance bail. Alphonso was arrested in his room in Brown Hall each time. He is scheduled to appear in Hanover District Court May 22 on both charges. Hanover Police Detective Graham Baines said the crime is a felony in New Hampshire. Alphonso declined to comment on his arrests last night. Baines said the police have completed their investigation of Alphonso. "It is not really going anywhere else," he said. Baines said the charges are the result of two separate investigations. "One is for false reporting, the other was an unrelated investigation that turned up this stolen property," he said. Baines said police discovered the allegedly stolen equipment in Alphonso's possession during their investigation of the other incident. Baines said people sometimes report materials stolen to collect insurance money. "Let's say you have a stereo.

Group to advise on new stalking policy

By Kristy Jarosh | April 25, 1996

The Subcommittee on Stalking, a branch of the Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment committee, will make recommendations at the end of this term regarding how the College should address stalking on campus. The subcommittee's findings and recommendations as to whether the College should create a permanent committee on stalking will be included in SASH's annual report, said Liza Veto, co-chair of the subcommittee and acting coordinator of the Sexual Abuse Awareness Program. Veto said SASH formed the subcommittee during Fall term in response to suggestions several groups of students made to Dean of the College Lee Pelton last spring and to anecdotal evidence that stalking exists on the campus. The recommendation for a new subcommittee to focus on the problem of stalking was one of the elements of SASH's annual report last year.

The True Identity of the Assembly

Mr. Weaver: Far be it for me, an experienced intellectual neophyte, to refute your clearly-defined and well-argued assertion that the Student Assembly does not, in fact, exist and that any philosophical attempt to prove otherwise is doomed to failure ["Its That Time of Year Again ..." The Dartmouth, April 9], but that is precisely what I plan to do.
