Marshall '96 raises funds for Oklahoma victims

By Abigail Klingbeil | April 27, 1995

Friday morning, two days after an explosion ripped apart the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City, Okla., Life Marshall '96 decided she wanted to help the victims of the bombing. By Monday, Marshall said she and other volunteers had raised more than $4,000 for the American Red Cross. "I decided it was worth giving it a shot --and I never expected we'd raise that much money," said Marshall, who is from Los Angeles. She said she was motivated to organize the fundraising effort because she felt "extremely powerless and frustrated" as she watched the aftermath of the bombing on television. Just three days before Marshall started her fundraising campaign, she told a friend, "I don't feel like I've done anything" at Dartmouth.

Where is Our Moral Outrage?

By Rachel R. Gilliar | April 27, 1995

AsI walked across the Green on Tuesdaymorning, I noticed the details of the campus: The clear blue sky, the color of summer days or a baby's eyes, accented only by a few faint clouds; the mountains of New Hampshire peeking out from behind each building -- "God's country," as I've heard many alumni refer to it; Baker Tower, tall, strong, everlasting, set against this brilliant backdrop. And one more symbol among all these of nature and purity -- the American Flag flying, at full mast, higher than it has in the past few days.

'Seinfeld,' 'E.R.'?A question some ask

By Chin Yoo | April 26, 1995

Every Thursday night around 9, Dartmouth students interrupt their diligent studying to make a weekly pilgrimage to their cluster television rooms, lured by the hope of procrastination, socializing and, of course, free food. They gather for a Dartmouth institution as quintessential as a cappella groups and Sunday night cramming -- the "Seinfeld" study break. But even "Dartmouth institutions" can change. This winter, the River cluster switched its study breaks from the hit comedy to the drama "E.R.," becoming the first cluster to make the big switch. "We changed to 'E.R.' because it was our impression that the show had become more popular than 'Seinfeld,' at least among the residents in the River," Undergraduate Advisor Dave Hemmer '96 said.
