College, town prepare for Green Key

By Nathaniel Leclery | May 19, 1995

With Green Key Weekend upon us, the College and the town of Hanover have been preparing for an expected increase in activities and large inflow of people. According to Rebel Roberts, Safety and Security crime prevention officer, there is often a significant increase in the numbers of people on campus. "It depends on what's happening on campus and on other variables such as the weather and what's going on at other campuses," Roberts said. During Green Key there will be an increase in the number of Safety and Security personnel. "Student Activity organizations ask for personnel for their special events so we will have additional personnel available for Green Key," Roberts said. Safety and Security also takes other precautions for Green Key, including posting bulletins in residential clusters explaining the dangers that often accompany a large weekend. "We usually have an increase in incidents," Roberts said. Two years ago, Safety and Security reported eleven cases of inebriety, five of alcohol possession by a minor and three cases of disorderly conduct. Last year, ........dont have these numbers yet b/c safety and security hasnt gotten back to me. The Hanover Police Department also takes certain precautions for Green Key.

Party weekend just for students

By James M> Hunnicutt | May 19, 1995

The typical Green Key activities, such as weekend Greek parties and events on the Green, are not attractive to those who are not undergraduates at the College, making the weekend just like any other. Faculty, administrators, Dartmouth staff and townsfolk say Green Key Weekend means very little to them -- this weekend's events are for the students. "Green Key I've never quite hooked into," Biology professor Jonathan Rothblatt said.

By Jacqueline Rose | May 18, 1995

Asgard, a student group dedicated to providing nonalcoholic programming, is thinking about becoming the College's third undergraduate society, according to Keith Lavigne '95, a former executive officer for the group. A task force co-chaired by Emily Jones '95 and Health Services Director Dr. Jack Turco to comprehensively evaluate alcohol at the College will recommend that Asgard become an undergraduate society, Lavigne said. Although most of Asgard's officers declined to comment about the organization's future, Lavigne said Asgard held a special meeting Tuesday night to discuss the fate of the meeting. At the meeting "we were trying to put together something to tell the task force," he said.

Students wonder if reform will work

While most people agree the Student Assembly External Review Committee's recommendations are a step in the right direction, the one thing they say the recommendations cannot change is human nature. Even if the new "Undergraduate Council" is approved -- which is certainly not guaranteed -- students say reform will not succeed unless the council attracts members who are dedicated to representing and serving students. The committee's final report, released Tuesday, calls for changes in the Assembly's representation, structure and election procedures to make student government more accountable, responsible and unified. Some of the committee's major recommendations include: having presidential and vice presidential candidates run on a ticket, creating seven new vice presidents -- appointed by the president -- to oversee committees, limiting membership to 50 students, having each class select eight representatives and having one-third of the membership be appointed. "Yes, the Student Assembly has a lot of structural problems and yes, hopefully this report will be able to solve them," former Assembly member and Conservative Union At Dartmouth President Bill Hall '96 said. "But the Student Assembly's biggest problem is not with the structure of the Assembly, it is with the people involved in it," he said. And that is the essence of the problem -- it is easy to change the Assembly's name, it is not too difficult to change the Assembly's structure but it is very difficult to change the people who have created the problems in the Assembly during the last several years. "I do not think the Assembly can be reformed unless the people on the Assembly are absolutely dedicated to serving the student body and not serving individual needs," former Assembly member Jim Brennan '96 said. Class of 1995 Vice President Hosea Harvey, who chaired the reform committee, said the very nature of the new Undergraduate Council will "invigorate" students and motivate them to work for the benefit of all students. Harvey said underlying the organization's name change is a new philosophy that will change the dynamics of the body. But Hall said student government needs more than a new philosophy.

Alien experts to speak on Sunday

By Karen Rose | May 18, 1995

Two of the world's leading experts on extraterrestrials will speak at the College this Sunday. Bestselling author and worldwide authority on the "crop-circle phenomenon" Colin Andrews, along with Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatrist John Mack will speak at a day-long program beginning at noon in Cook Auditorium. Mack is a psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School and has investigated about 100 cases of supposed extraterrestrial abduction through interviews and the use of non-ordinary states of consciousness to explore his clients' accounts. He is the author of "The Alchemy of Survival," "Nightmares and Human Conflict" and the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Prince of Our Disorder." "Around 1965, Mack was seeing patients who really believed they were crazy because they were having these hallucinations," said Martin Hussey, a local resident who is organizing the conference.

Approve Assembly Reform

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | May 18, 1995

TheStudent Assembly should pass the recommendations of the Student Assembly External Review Committee as a vital first step in bringing some legitimacy back to student government at Dartmouth. The committee's well-thought out and well-researched report, released Tuesday, is properly titled "Undergraduate Council: Toward a More Responsible Student Government." The word "Assembly" to students is synonymous with "infighting" and "incompetency." Changing the name would be a symbolic break from the Assembly's troubled past. But the recommendations are about more than just a name change -- they address several fundamental problems that have plagued the Assembly for years.
