Baseball splits doubleheaders

By Eric Petitt | April 8, 1996

Never mind the late season snow drizzles up here in Hanover. The Dartmouth baseball team got a second breath of spring air this past weekend. After a frustrating non-league start, the Big Green sluggers started all over again on Friday and Saturday, opening the all-important Ivy League season with two wins in doubleheaders at Princeton and Cornell. "That has been a difficult trip for us," Head Coach Bob Whalen said of the six hour bus rides to Princeton and Cornell.

Lendvai's Development of Satire Asymmetrical and Hasty

By Jean Saunders | April 8, 1996

To the Editor: I realized my mistake yesterday concerning Robert Lendvai's article [April 3,] after reading John Strayer's rebuttal [April 4,] the following day. I can only point out that Lendvai's article is a poor example of the "classic slippery slope" that he must have intended and a perfect example of a straight and sudden drop. The last several paragraphs are, I assume, supposed to be the satirical revelation of his article. The extremist points Lendvai includes in his last comments are his entire argument; however, they are not mentioned anywhere in the previous paragraphs, thus making his attempt at satire asymmetrical and unparallel. Satire should be developed carefully throughout a piece, not hastily tacked onto the end.

Students seeking a new mascot

By Charles Davant | April 8, 1996

Tired of cheering for a large color, four Dartmouth athletes are preparing a campaign to give the College a new mascot. Hank Brier '98, Peter Halas '98, Jay Lavender '97 and Matt Sechrest '97 say they take their mission very seriously; they have already met with administrators, and they say they will bring the issue before the Alumni Council and the Student Assembly later this term. "Nothing's wrong with the Big Green, we'd still have it part of the name," said Brier.

Multicultural Mayhem

By Adam J. Siegel | April 5, 1996

To The Editor: I recently received a blitz from the "Multicultural Project," an organization created by the Tucker Foundation in conjunction with several local elementary schools, which is apparently seeking to "expose area public school students to cultural education which they might not be exposed to." Hoping to recruit student volunteers, I was asked if I would be interested in participating in this program.

Lendvai '99 Depicts Free Speech Inaccurately

By Jean Saunders | April 5, 1996

To The Editor: It is so ironic that liberals are often the most intolerant people around. Robert Lendvai's diatribe against free speech ["Limit Free Speech," The Dartmouth, April 3] was the best proof of this phenomenon I've seen in a long time.

Regarding Phyliss

By Kyle Teamey | April 5, 1996

To the Editor: Full Fare: without a doubt the best eating establishment on campus. With the best food, (none of that non-meat meat substitute like Collis), the best seating, (no crossbars on the tables that you hit your shins on like at the Hop and none of the noise or confusion of Food Court), great conversation, and that special Full Fare ambiance, it outshines the rest by far.

Standing Up For Injustice

By Abiola Lapite | April 5, 1996

There are few phrases more abused today in the English language than the line in the constitution which goes "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal." These words, born of the desire to secure for the citizens of the new nation of America freedoms which had been lacking in the Old World, have today been pressed into the service of all those who would seek to subvert those freedoms. Who are those of whom I speak?

Bollinger reshuffles Office of the Provost

By Neil Desai | April 5, 1996

Since Deputy Provost Bruce Pipes left the College at the end of last term, Provost Lee Bollinger has restructured the Office of the Provost. He said he is considering a number of adjustments to his office -- including whether or not to have a faculty member become the deputy provost on a permanent basis or to instead appoint a few people to take on the responsibilities of the position. "Any time there is a departure or change it is a good time to reflect on the needs of the office and the institution," Bollinger said. Bollinger noted that Pipes was "extremely valuable, but there may not be someone like him, so you may need to do something different," he said. As part of the restructuring, Bollinger said there have been two promotions in the office.

DRA to petition for own affinity housing

By Erin Loback | April 5, 1996

Political Queers, the political arm of the Dartmouth Rainbow Alliance, is writing a proposal to obtain affinity housing as early as next fall for gay, lesbian and bisexual students and their supporters. While the group plans to submit a proposal today, Dean of Residential Life Mary Turco said it takes a lot of time to refine a housing proposal and the deadline is soon. BreeAnne Clowdus '97, one of the group's founders, said Political Queers' housing proposal, which the group is still working on, was created mainly by herself and Melanie Popper '99. The proposal calls for "reallocation of already existing residential space for gay, lesbian, bisexual and questioning students as well as straight, supporting students," Clowdus said. Clowdus said the group is requesting a floor of a residence hall that is coed by room with eight to 10 beds. Political Queers is not seeking any particular residence hall, she said. "We have a list of 11 people very interested" in living in gay affinity housing, Clowdus said.
