Life After the Teenage Years

By Rachel R. Gilliar | January 17, 1996

I have never given much thought to the idea of aging. As much as I bemoaned the idea that someday I would be 35 or, gasp, 40, getting older was something I just did not have time to worry about. When I did picture myself older, it was as a ripened woman, elegantly attired in a designer suit.

Racial slurs scrawled on door in Choates

By Jeffrey Beyer | January 17, 1996

Safety and Security and the Hanover Police Department are combining their efforts in their search for the person who wrote a series of racial slurs on the door of a room occupied by two Asian students on the first floor of Little Hall. College Proctor Bob McEwen, who said he is heavily involved in the investigation, said the racial slurs were written "sometime either late Sunday night or early Monday morning," and that the two victims, Jon Jun '98 and Michael Yoo '98, reported the incident to Safety and Security early Monday afternoon. Jun said the racial slurs included a variety of derogatory phrases, including "chink" and "bastard." The racial slurs were written on the door itself and on the victims' name tags which were taped to the door, McEwen said. Pat Murray '98, the Undergraduate Advisor on the first floor of Little, said he hung the name tags on all the doors on the floor at the beginning of the year to identify the inhabitants of each room on the floor.

Media's Ability to Influence Requires Responsible Action

By Laura Dupont | January 16, 1996

To the Editor: I am writing in response to the Tim Young editorial, "You Can't Blame The Weatherman" [Jan 11]. The juvenile ramblings, mostly about Senator Dole's film preferences, tell me the writer needs some serious time on the analysis couch, right next to Oliver Stone. Bob Dole and Bill Bennett are trying to make a very basic point which is that motion pictures and other mass media are powerful influences on the public, particularly children, and that the managements of the large entertainment companies -- Time Warner, Disney and others -- have an obligation which goes beyond the very important one of earning top dollar for their shareholders. In spite of being bombarded by reporters' questions about which films or performers they favor and which they do not, Dole and Bennett have no desire to micro manage particular companies or an industry.

Hockey dominates

By Erika Tower | January 16, 1996

It is a goal that Northeastern goalie Shannon Meyers will not forget for a while. A goal that should not have tarnished Northeastern's then-perfect ECAC record, 6-0. But it did. The goal, by Amy Coelho '97, came late in the second period, and could not even be called a shot. Coelho, whose team was tied with the Huskies at one, simply wanted to dump the puck into Northeastern's end to give her team time to switch lines. Except for Meyers, no one was in Northeastern's half of the ice.

The housing proposals released Thursday by the Office of Residential Life could go far in solving the College's recent housing problems. For the past few years, the College has experienced a housing crunch, which for the last two years could more aptly be described as a housing crisis.
