Wilson to perform with a four-piece band tonight

By Michael A> Posey | November 3, 1995

Young, beautiful, and now riding the waves of celebrityhood, Cassandra Wilson, is a chantreuse who has definitely come into her own. Lauded as the Sarah Vaughan of her generation by music critics throughout, Wilson will bring her suave, unabashed blues-inspired jazz to the Hopkins Center of Performing Arts tonight at 8 p.m in Spaulding Auditorium. Featuring an ecletic reportoire ranging from lush-tender love songs to scouring roadhouse jazz, Wilson is sure to satisfy any listerner's musical palette. Wilson has a voice that wins even non-listener over.

Men's hockey opens tonight; Big Green optimistic

By Jeffrey Beyer | November 3, 1995

With back-to-back non-conference games tonight and tomorrow night at the University of Illinois-Chicago, the men's ice hockey team officially opens its 1995-96 campaign. After a 6-3 exhibition victory last Friday over Dalhousie University, a Canadian squad, the Big Green are hoping to get off to a fast start, as they did last year when they opened with three wins in the first four games, including a 6-5 overtime thriller against nationally-ranked Vermont. But unlike what happened during the 1994-95 season, the squad is looking to carry the momentum of a quick start throughout the heart of the conference schedule. Last season the Big Green's quick start fizzled and by January the squad was mired in a 10 game winless streak.

Hop, WRC feature a forum on pornography

By Tom Jawetz | November 3, 1995

The Dartmouth Film Society's program "Hard Core: Cinema, Censorship and the Politicization of Sexuality" is a collection of clips from films which range from Edward Muybrige's attempts in the 1890s to break down human movement using split-second consecutive photographs of naked men and women walking, to today's shot-on-video pornos. The forum features Nina Hartley, who has acted and directed hard core pornography and has also taught a course at U.C.

By Eric Petitt | November 3, 1995

After a commanding 23-7 victory at Harvard last weekend, capping a flawless [4-0] month of October, the Big Green Machine rolls into the Big Apple to take on the upstart Lions of Columbia. Everything is riding on the clash between the Big Green and the Lions Saturday, as both teams are stuck in clear-cut, must-win situations. Dartmouth, 2-2 in the Ivies and 5-2 overall, brings a four game winning streak, second best in the League this year, to the Lion's den in New York City.

Rainbow Alliance plans response to rash of 'homophobic' activity

By Jacqueline Rose | November 3, 1995

The Dartmouth Rainbow Alliance last night discussed how to address a recent rash of what they term "homophobic attacks" directed at residents of Lord residence hall, the most recent of which occurred early Wednesday morning. "At two o'clock in the morning on Wednesday, I was awakened by yelling and people throwing dirt at my first-floor window," said a woman, who did not wish to be named. The woman, who is a member of the alliance, said the dirt broke the screen of her window, where a Dartmouth Rainbow Alliance flag hangs. "I was really shaken up," she said.

By Rachel R. Gilliar | November 3, 1995

Undergraduate Advisor is a position that entails a great deal of power on this campus. Like teachers, professors and other mentors, we UGAs have the ability to have a positive impact on minds equally bright, though less experienced than our own.

Tri-Kap defends name change

By Erin Loback | November 2, 1995

At a panel discussion last night, members and supporters of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity defended the house's recent decision to change its name, which angered some students because of the name's association with the Ku Klux Klan. The panel discussion, titled 'What's in a name?" was sponsored by Palaeopitus, a group of senior leaders who advise the College President and the Dean of the College.

Tempest in a Plastic Cup

By Justin Ruben | November 2, 1995

Social protest at Dartmouth is a bit like a dandelion poking its yellow head up between the used condoms and McDonald's wrappers of an inner city gutter: It is so refreshing to see life's signature under such circumstances that the last thing you want to do is hold out for an orchid. Thus it is in the spirit of encouragement and constructive suggestion -- not criticism -- that I would like to address two of Dartmouth's more recent tempests-in-a-plastic-cup.

Viral meningitis afflicts two students, employee

By Jacob Molland | November 2, 1995

Just nine months after two Dartmouth students were struck with the potentially fatal spinal meningitis disease, meningitis is back at Dartmouth -- but in a much less dangerous form. The virus, now afflicting one College employee and two students, has returned in a viral form not nearly as threatening as the bacterial strain seen last winter, according to Assistant Director of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Dr. Nield Mercer. Viral meningitis is "not much harder on the body than the typical fever," Mercer said. He said viral and bacterial meningitis have no biological connection, and the presence of viral meningitis does not mean there is a threat of another bacterial outbreak. Last January, a female freshman was diagnosed with the meningococcus bacteria, which can lead to spinal meningitis.

Skunk population growing in Hanover

By Elizabeth Tedesco | November 2, 1995

There is an explanation to the foul smells lingering around College buildings these days -- and it is not the refried beans from Food Court. Instead, officials said the offensive odors around campus can be blamed on an increase in the skunk population in Hanover. The number of skunk sightings in the Hanover area has increased considerably in the last few months, said Bill Hochstin, assistant director of Facilities, Operations and Management. "Skunks really don't have a natural predator around here," Hochstin said.

Garmire aims high as new Thayer dean

By Jeffrey Beyer | November 1, 1995

Elsa Garmire, the new dean of the Thayer School of Engineering, admitted that before she interviewed at Dartmouth, she had never heard of the Thayer School. "There are a lot of distinguished people here that do a lot of distinguished work, but somehow the school as a whole doesn't stand out," Garmire said.
