Parking rates go up to cover deficit

By Rini Ghosh | May 25, 1995

Hanover car owners will have to dig down in their pockets for additional spare change after July 1 to meet the increased cost and additional hours of parking meters. In order to raise revenue to cover the $40,000 deficit in the parking district, Hanover's Board of Selectmen agreed to increase the rate of 10-hour meters in the Marshall Lot, located across the street from Fleet Bank and behind Foodstop, from 25 cents to 50 cents an hour, and extend the operational hours of all town meters from 5 to 6 p.m., according to Chairwoman Marilyn "Willy" Black. From July 1 to September 1 people will only receive warning notices if they let their meters run out before 6 p.m., Black said.

Groups to announce COS suggestions

By James M> Hunnicutt | May 25, 1995

Two student groups that are trying to change how the College handles sexual assault cases have spent the past three weeks gathering information and speaking with administrators, and are both close to making recommendations. Former Student Assembly President Danielle Moore '95, who is leading one of the groups, said her group is planning to release recommendations on how to improve the College's sexual assault policy by Monday. A second group of students is still meeting with administrators and looking into the sexual assault policy, said Emily Stephens '97, who said she serves as the spokeswoman for the other group.

Pelton discusses an evolving Greek system

By Jason Casell | May 25, 1995

In an informal discussion in Chi Heorot fraternity last night, Dean of the College Lee Pelton said he is not against the College's Greek system but rather has consistently worked to improve it since he has been at the College. "The facts paint a very different picture -- I will forever let the facts speak for themselves," Pelton said to about 35 students, addressing the disparity between his anti-Greek image and his actions within the Greek system. Pelton discussed his role in moving rush from sophomore winter to sophomore fall, lifting the College's ban on common sources of alcohol and converting Delta Psi Delta, a failed coeducational fraternity, into Epsilon Kappa Theta sorority at a cost of $600,000. "These are all anti-fraternity actions obviously," Pelton said sarcastically. One student asked Pelton about gender equity in the Greek system and a recent proposal by five former sorority presidents to create a seventh mainstream sorority. "The issue is a resource issue -- right now there is no available space that could accommodate any type of residential unit," Pelton said. Pelton said he thinks there are more fraternities than currently needed.

Gender equity discussed

By Mary Ellen Moore | May 24, 1995

Five former sorority presidents who released a statement on Monday calling for sex equity within the College's social system led a discussion last night in 105 Dartmouth Hall to get feedback on their proposal for a seventh sorority. About 45 students participated in the discussion, along with Panhellenic Council President Dani Brune '96, Dean of Residential Life Mary Turco and John Embelmen, co-chair of the Coed, Fraternity and Sorority system advisers group and adviser to Alpha Delta fraternity. The five senior women kicked off the discussion by stating their goal of sex equity and explaining why they are bringing up the proposal now, less then three weeks before they graduate. "We want our feelings and hopes documented so that next year they can say that this issue has already been brought up," said Julia Bowen '95, former president of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.

Create a New Sorority

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | May 24, 1995

The College should commit itself to establishing gender equity in its social system and creating a new sorority would be a good start. Dartmouth's social system, in particular the Greek system, currently offers more opportunities to men than women, while membership in sororities is bursting at the seams.

By James M> Hunnicutt | May 24, 1995

The Student Assembly will vote Thursday night on the proposals made by the Student Assembly External Review Committee to replace the Assembly with a new "Undergraduate Council," reform committee chair Hosea Harvey '95 said. The Assembly canceled its scheduled meeting last night because the Executive Committee could not meet this Sunday because many members -- including Assembly President Rukmini Sichitiu '95 and Assembly Vice President John Honovich '97 -- were out of town. The Assembly executives met last night to decide how to vote on the proposals.

Bollinger delivers talk on speech codes, rights

By Chin Yoo | May 24, 1995

Provost Lee Bollinger, an expert on First Amendment issues, spoke last night about speech codes and the rights of students at private institutions. Bollinger gave his speech, titled "First Amendment Rights at Private Institutions," to about 40 people in the 1930s room of the Rockefeller Center for the Social Sciences. He said speech codes seem to be dying out even though they are not only allowed, but are required in terms of wise policy. "Over the past 10 years many colleges and universities have moved to enact speech codes," he said. Speech codes "must exist, but they are incredibly difficult to write," he said.
