Youth leads Big Green

By Erika Tower | November 15, 1995

In just one year, the women's volleyball team has made a 180 degree turn over previous play. Not only did it improved its record from 2-18 last season to 14-9 this season, but it has also set a new record for wins in a season. So who's the secret weapon?

By Erik Tanouye | November 15, 1995

Students looking for political discussion no longer have to search high and low to find it -- they only have to flip their radio dial to 1340 WDCR, the College's AM radio station, to listen to "Dartmouth Dialectic." "Dartmouth Dialectic," started this term by Henry Broaddus '97, is a Crossfire-style political discussion between a panel of four students.

By Neil Desai | November 15, 1995

Some question whether exclusion policy is effective

By Jeffrey Beyer | November 14, 1995

Despite what Greek leaders call a "concerted effort" to enforce a policy prohibiting freshmen from attending parties at Greek houses during their first term at Dartmouth, many students and administrators agree that the policy goes largely unenforced. The Coed Fraternity Sorority Council's "Freshman Visitation" policy prohibits students from attending "Tier Two" CFS events during their freshman fall.

SA decreases infighting, productivity

By James M> Hunnicutt | November 14, 1995

During his campaign last Spring term, Student Assembly President Jim Rich '96 promised an end to bickering within the Assembly and an increase in student services. So far Rich and the Assembly have delivered on one of the two promises -- internal Assembly bickering has been almost nonexistent this term -- but progress has been slow on various projects designed to improve student life at the College. While most Assembly members admitted they have moved forward slowly this term, they said their deliberate pace will pay off next term.

Swimming opens with success

By Richard Petty | November 14, 1995

Dartmouth's men's swimming team opened its season this weekend in Sherbrooke at the eighth annual Canadian-American challenge meet. The Big Green finished in second place out of 12 teams, powered by strong individual performances and team spirit. "I think the most important thing about the weekend was that we maintained a positive attitude and swam smart races throughout the twelve hour meet," Ben Lannon '96 said. The Big Green started quickly when exchange student Eric Brunner '97 won the second event of the meet, the 200 meter breaststroke, in a time of 2:27.46. Brunner opened the race with a tremendous burst of speed, quickly dominating the competition and opening a lead which no one could surpass. Later in the 50-meter breaststroke, Brunner and teammate Lannon placed first and second with times of 31.26 and 31.37, respectively. After a three hour lunch break, the Big Green again returned with a quick start. Grier Laughlin '96, Brunner, Geoff Walford '99 and Jon Kenyon '97 combined to swim a 4:03.31 in the 400 meter medley relay, taking second place out of 30 teams. Brunner competed in the 100 breaststroke, hoping to complete a three for three sweep.

'Romeo and Juliet' to open tonight

By David Guerrerio | November 14, 1995

"Romeo and Juliet" is undoubtedly the best-known of Shakespeare's plays. As with so many of Shakespeare's works, it has been reinterpreted in every age according to the prevailing tastes. The nineteenth century latched onto the ideal of romantic love presented in the young lovers' tale, immortalizing them in both opera and ballet. Through the twentieth century it has similarly inspired a plethora of films and even a musical. As such, it seems inevitable that the play be re-interpreted for the 1990s, this age of talk shows and e-mail, as a study of teen suicide. Special resonance will certainly be felt by members of the Dartmouth community, following so closely on the heels of the strange coincidence of three separate suicides which have been the source of much campus conversation and concern. One should not expect a true "updating" of the play, though.
