A different photo please

By Dr. John H. Turco | May 12, 1995

To the Editor: Give me a break! I know that I am not a Hollywood poster pin-up candidate; however, the picture that was printed in the May 3 issue of The Dartmouth did not do justice to me.

Playboy Debate Misses the Point

By John Strayer | May 12, 1995

I'llbe glad when Playboy is long gone from our campus. Not out of any strong moral conviction about the implications of its presence, but because I have grown tired of a debate that misses the fundamental point. For the sake of this argument, let us start by simply granting the anti-Playboy argument.

The mechanics of litigation at Dartmouth

By Jeffrey Beyer | May 11, 1995

When a person or a group brings a lawsuit against Dartmouth, the College has a set procedure but no set strategy for handling the case. The three top officials of the Legal Affairs Office -- Assistant College Counsel Alegra Biggs, College Counsel Cary Clark and Associate College Counsel Sean Gorman -- meet to discuss the College's strategy, Clark said. The three discuss defense strategies, which sometimes involve "engaging an outside lawyer to participate in the defense litigation," Clark said. According to Clark, the method of defending the litigation depends on the nature of the lawsuit, and there is no stated strategy the College employs to defend the litigation. "There is a whole range of types of litigation and each type requires a different way of preparing a defense," Clark said. Clark said where the suit is filed and the type of lawsuit are major issues in preparing a defense. The Legal Affairs Office can act independently, and is under no obligation to contact the College President's Office or other administrators. But Clark said the College Counsel often contacts administrators depending on the nature of a specific case. "If there are significant decisions to be made regarding the handling of the litigation then obviously I and the others on the legal staff would consult with the appropriate administrator," Clark said. Gorman said the money used to defend the College against lawsuits comes from the yearly operating budget, and no money is set aside in a special legal defense fund. Clark added that an additional budget is set aside for the payment of legal fees for outside counsel. "There is no real way of anticipating what's going to happen from one year to the next," Gorman said.

Dixon '95 fined $200 for disorderly conduct

By Charles Davant | May 11, 1995

Judge Joseph Daschbach found Guy Dixon '95 guilty of disorderly conduct slapped Dixon with a $200 fine yesterday morning in Hanover District Court. Dixon, who is 23 and a brother in Alpha Delta fraternity, was arrested late in the evening of April 19, when he and a number of other students allegedly ran naked across East Wheelock Street. Dixon pleaded no contest to the charge of disorderly conduct, and Daschbach suspended half the penalty because "he didn't think the offense was that grave," Dixon's lawyer Kim Keating said. Keating said Dixon had previously been charged with indecent exposure and resisting arrest, but the state dropped those misdemeanors charges. "The state brought a new charge [disorderly conduct] which isn't a crime, but a violation," Keating said.

Anti-Playboy protesters did not 'force' women to not pose

By Susan Zieger | May 11, 1995

To The Editor: Dan Richman '95 grossly misunderstood and misrepresented the arguments of the anti-Playboy protesters and those of the pro-choice movement in his narrow-minded comparison of the two ("The Double Standard of 'Choice,' " May 10, 1995). The purpose of Monday's protest was not to prevent women from posing for Playboy, but to persuade them not to.

Playboy Models Will Represent Dartmouth

By Kimberly Koontz | May 11, 1995

Ihave been thinking a lot about this issue of Playboy coming to campus lately. I thought about how much fun it would be to cover myself in papers and exams to prove a point, and I thought about how flattered I would be if someone thought that I had a nice enough body that men would want to drool over it.
