Students concerned with sexual assault and COS process are working together

By Emily Stephens | May 8, 1995

To the Editor: In The Dartmouth's May 5 issue, the editorial board criticized Rukmini Sichitiu '95 and Yvonne Chiu '95 ("Research Must Precede Reform") for forming a coalition of students who are attempting to take action on the current sexual assault/Committee On Standards debate without first adequately researching these issues. Ah, the irony is that much thicker. By expressing their views in the editorial, The Dartmouth became guilty of the same misinformed action they were condemning. The Dartmouth, by choosing to make this a "side" issue, is simply miring the concerns of students in a mass of political goo.

Allison speaks on her life as a lesbian

By Caroline Timbers | May 5, 1995

Dorothy Allison, a renowned author of lesbian literature, read excerpts from her soon-to-be published novel, "Two or Three Things I Know for Sure," and related her writing to her personal experience to about 75 people last night. In her books, Allison uses themes that relate to her own life: growing up poor, female and lesbian, and having to deal with dysfunctional familial relationships. "Sometimes the stories you don't tell people are the things you need to tell people," said Allison, who is perhaps best known for her book "Bastard Out of Carolina." She spoke about the role of the working class in American society and described it as the "grease that runs the machine." Allison said she objected to the perception of women in the working class as "wide-hipped baby machines ... predestined." Allison also spoke of the negative influence society has on female relationships.
