Canoe Club celebrates 75th anniversary

By Heather Bell | May 2, 1995

The Student Assembly External Review Committee met with members of this year's and next year's Assembly Sunday night to discuss their views of the Assembly's role on campus. The groups debated how the Assembly should admit new members, how to improve communications between the Assembly and the student body and how much power the president should hold. The review committee, chaired by Class of 1995 Vice President Hosea Harvey, was formed at the beginning of the term and charged with reviewing the current structure of the Assembly and providing recommendations for improving its communication with the student body and the way it addresses student needs. The Assembly is scheduled to vote on the review committee's proposals on May 16. Several Assembly members voiced objection to the current policy of admitting new members once they have attended three meetings, involved themselves with a project and received approval from the Nominations Committee. Assembly President-elect Jim Rich '96 called the current policy "a rubber stamp process" that hurts the credibility of the Assembly. Harvey asked Assembly members how students who join the Assembly of their own accord could be made responsible to a constituency. Sarah Johnston '97 said, "Making the Assembly some hyper-exclusive group is not the answer." She said students who show up to three meetings and become involved with a project show real effort and deserve to be on the Assembly. Assembly President Rukmini Sichitiu '95 pointed out that many members of the current Assembly joined via the three-meeting process.

Panelists talk about U.S. culture

By Allison K. Hoffman | May 2, 1995

Six Dartmouth faculty panelists and more than 100 audience members met in the Rockfeller Center for the Social Sciences last night to try to answer the question, "Is there an 'American' culture?" Although the participants in the event, which was moderated by College Chaplain Gwendolyn King, were unable to give a concrete answer to the posed question, they debated with audience members about a variety of issues related to defining and understanding culture in the United States. Each of the six panelists, English Professor William Cook, Freshman Dean Peter Goldsmith, Native American Studies Professor Christopher Jocks, Sociology Professor Deborah King, History Professor Annelise Orleck and Geography Professor Frances Ufkes, approached the subject in a different direction in brief opening speeches. Goldsmith stressed the need to define culture before discussing if it exists.

By Charles Davant | May 2, 1995

In races Saturday, the women's varsity crew team lost to the mighty Princeton squad but defeated the University of Pennsylvania, while the men's varsity heavyweights were trounced by Brown. The varsity women finished just ahead of Pennsylvania but 12 seconds abaft Princeton. "We were a little disappointed because we thought we could be closer to Princeton," varsity rower Katie Woodcock '95 said. But few teams have finished closer to the Tigers this season, she said. "They have been the powerhouse in our league for quite some time," Woodcock said. This Saturday the women will row against Cornell in the last regular-season meet.

Review committee meets with StudentAssembly

By James M> Hunnicutt | May 2, 1995

New Hampshire Governor Stephen Merrill was a no-show, but that did not dampen the spirits of members of the Ledyard Canoe Club, who gathered in a residence hall room Sunday night to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the oldest canoe club in the country. "We sent the governor an invitation to the ceremony even though we really didn't think he'd come," Tina Rutar '98 said. Merrill recently declared April 30 "Ledyard Canoe Club of Dartmouth Day." His proclamation was read Sunday to a group of about 20 canoeing enthusiasts who crowded into 7 Richardson Hall, the site of the club's first official meeting 75 years ago. Following the ceremony in Richardson, Jay Evans '49 presented a slide show in Carpenter Hall called "Great Moments at Ledyard." Evans, an Olympic kayaking trainer, has been an active member of the canoe club for more than 40 years and is now its adviser. The presentation described the club's growth from a small, recreational organization to a competitive kayaking group to the mostly recreational, 800-member organization that Ledyard is today. Despite the shift in focus, the club is still well-known in boating circles.
