Students celebrate Halloween early

|

Something is a little bit eerie at Dartmouth today. Perhaps it is the cashier adorned with spiders at Collis Cafe, the pumpkin aglow in one of the windows of Hitchcock residence hall or the abnormal amounts of candy that costumed students are consuming. All Hallows' Eve has arrived on campus, and the spirit of the haunted holiday has taken over the College. Last night, a clown, a devil, a Power Ranger, a farmer and Darth Vader were all on the dance floor at the Collis Center for the Phantom's Masquerade Ball. At press time, Masquerade Ball co-chair Jenny Constable '98 said the ball "is going great so far.

CUAD discusses 'The End of Racism,' race relations

|

About 25 members of the Conservative Union At Dartmouth met last night to informally debate Dinesh D'Souza's book "The End of Racism" and discuss race relations at Dartmouth, in anticipation of D'Souza's visit to the College this weekend. This Sunday, D'Souza, a member of the Class of 1983, will debate Government Professor Roger Masters on the problem of racism in American society. The debate is sponsored by CUAD. In a short and informal debate, Kishan Putta '96 took the position expounded by D'Souza in "The End of Racism" while John Honovich '97 argued the opposing viewpoint. Following their formal arguments, the two debaters elaborated their main points in an open discussion. Putta said black people need to focus inward on the problems afflicting their race. He pointed to the difficulty black men have being picked up by cab drivers who feel less safe with them in the car.

To the Editor: How come when Marc McDonald '96 passes out in food court his picture is on the front page of The Dartmouth the very next day, but when he and his team sweep the Heptagonal Championships along with the women's team for the second straight year there is not even a single mentioning of it as late as three days later?

The heavyweights placed two boats in the top five, finishing second and fourth, and the lightweights also rowed well earning sixth overall , which was first among the lightweight boats. The strong rowing of the Big Green was surpassed only by UNH, who's top boat won by a comfortable margin of nearly 25 seconds.
