After a sold out crowd of 4,400 two weeks ago in support of the struggling men's hockey team, and near-packed houses expected for two crucial men's basketball games this weekend, it is hard to imagine that student attendance at Big Green sports events is on the wane. In fact, it is.

Seniors elect their Executive Committee

By Jennifer Matthews | February 8, 1996

With the new program allowing them to vote over the Internet, seniors have elected their 20 representatives to serve on the Senior Executive Committee. The committee acts primarily as a liaison between the class and the Alumni Council. The members of the committee serve for five years until the fifth year class reunion in 2001. Every graduating class elects its own committee, and this was the first year seniors could vote through the World Wide Web, said Tom Caputo, vice president of the Class of 1996 and a newly-elected member of the committee. "Approximately 337 students voted -- which is a strong turnout," said Linda Kennedy, associate director of Student Activities and chair of the Election Advisory Committee.

'Love Streams' is last work by late director

By Aurora Leute | February 7, 1996

Some films truly exemplify the powerful visions of their directors -- such as one showing tonight, which will break through all of its viewers' preconceived constructions. The late John Cassavetes' final film, "Love Streams" (1984), will play tonight in Loew Auditorium as part of the Film Society's 'Auteurs' Series. Although he is more well known for his appearances in "The Dirty Dozen," "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Fury," for example, he made eleven films independently and earned his place among American auteurs. His first film, "Shadows," made in 1960, an improvisation with dialogue, was hailed as a film manifesto by the New York independent film scene.

Panel discusses hate speech code efficacy

By Erik Tanouye | February 7, 1996

College Provost Lee Bollinger said it would be difficult to make new rules that governed hate speech on campus fairly, before about 100 students in yesterday's panel discussion about hate speech. College President James Freedman opened the symposium by discussing the connection between law and the liberal arts. "I have always been disturbed that law and liberal arts have been separated," Freedman said of the current state of education. Addressing the possibility of developing rules governing hate speech, Bollinger said it is important to examine each instance of hate speech individually before making overall decisions.

SA to ask Pelton for new committee

By Erin Loback | February 7, 1996

The Student Assembly voted last night to establish a committee to facilitate and encourage communication between students of diverse backgrounds. The Assembly also passed a resolution to endorse the Dartmouth Rainbow Alliance's Winter Carnival drag ball and spoke to Director of Health Services Jack Turco about intoxication charges at Dick's house. Proposed by Chris Swift '98, who is not an Assembly member the resolution that addresses communication and diversity calls for the creation of a committee to "provide the College community with proactive measures to encourage communication, awareness and respect among individuals with different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences." The committee will determine the nature of these measures once it is formed. Assembly President Jim Rich '96 said the resolution will be given to Dean of the College Lee Pelton along with a letter requesting Pelton to consider forming the committee. The resolution proposes the committee be comprised of an equal number of students, faculty members and administrators, and be co-chaired by Pelton and a student elected by the Assembly. Rich stressed the importance of the community's keeping the promises it made during last week's town meeting and "Rally Against Injustice." He said the resolution shows "the Student Assembly is willing to be an active participant in the process." They voted to voice their support for the Dartmouth Rainbow Alliance's Winter Carnival drag ball.

By Elizabeth Tedesco | February 7, 1996

To some, the terms "Ivy League" and "learning disabled" may seem like phrases that do not belong in the same sentence. But Student Disabilities Coordinator Nancy Pompian said the College's 127 registered disabled students are just as smart as their classmates. Most have long since learned to compensate for their disability, she said. "Some people are surprised to hear there are students with learning disabilities at Dartmouth," she said.
