Gay faculty speak about pressures

By Jeffrey Beyer | February 1, 1995

Six faculty members talked about the pressures of being gay, lesbian and bisexual in the workplace in a panel discussion last night. About 20 people, mostly professors, attended the discussion, titled "Being Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual in the Work Place: Multiple Perspectives," in the Rockefeller Center for the Social Sciences. History Professor Annelise Orleck said she is troubled by the fact that only seven states and about 90 municipalities in the United States provide legal protection for homosexuals. Even in cities where homosexual-rights laws are in place, they only were implemented after long battles, Orleck said.

Chimera of an Administrative Solution

By Hosea Harvey | February 1, 1995

Charles Dickens wrote in the opening lines of A Tale of Two Cities, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." His first paragraph rings true for the status of race relations at the majority of Ivy League schools. Since the early 1990s, steps have been taken to further develop the quality of resources available to increase the overall satisfaction of students affected by issues pertaining to diversity.

A Closer Look at Changes in WDCR

By Justin Ruben | February 1, 1995

In the face of events which deny our understanding, we often fall back on our paradigmatic beliefs in order to contextualize them, to explain the inexplicable. So when I read about Dartmouth Broadcasting's incomprehensible intention to replace the College's AM free-form radio station, 1340 WDCR, with a 24-hour news station, I turned to the paradigms which we at Dartmouth use to understand our world.

ORL and Greeks will discuss housing plan

Representatives from the College's Greek organizations will meet today with Assistant Dean of Residential Life Deb Reinders to discuss an alternate proposal to fill empty beds in Greek houses. Panhellenic Council President Dani Brune '96, Ryan Carey '96 and Coed Fraternity Sorority Council President Matt Raben '96 will present a plan where the College would provide financial incentives to entice Greek organizations and undergraduate societies to fill their beds. Greek leaders developed this alternative in response to a draft proposal released three weeks ago by the Office of Residential Life that would force Greek organizations to fill their houses before their members could get on-campus housing. Shortly after the release of the draft proposal, the College said it would not deny Greek members housing if the house were not filled.

SA fails to draw quorum

By Siobhan Gorman | February 1, 1995

The Student Assembly adjourned early last night and could not vote on a proposed bylaw amendment because it did not have a quorum. The amendment would allow for a question-and-answer session after Assembly members speak for and against resolutions. Assembly President Rukmini Sichitiu '95 attributed the lack of attendance to midterms, sickness and a short agenda.

Faculty backs COI plan

By James M> Hunnicutt | January 31, 1995

Several faculty members voiced their support of a Committee on Instruction proposal that would allow students to drop a course without permission up until the last two weeks of a term. "I'm favorable to it," Mathematics Department Chair Kenneth Bogart said. Bogart said such a policy would not affect Grade Point Averages or be abused by students because the College already has guidelines restricting how often students can have terms with two courses. Registrar Thomas Bickel suggested the proposal to the COI last term.

COI Proposal Is Too Lenient

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | January 31, 1995

The Committee on Instruction's proposal to allow students to drop courses without a professor's permission up until the last two weeks of a term is unjustified and will not benefit the College. Gary Johnson, the committee's chair, said the proposal "will ease the logistical burden to the Registrar's office." Johnson said Registrar Thomas Bickel receives about 100 petitions every term and the new policy will reduce that number. With more than 3,500 students on campus every term, 100 petitions are not enough to merit a drastic change in the course-drop policy. Johnson's argument that the new proposal "will allow students to initiate course changes themselves and toss decisions back into the student's lap" is more valid. But this does not require the College to take drastic steps.

By Dave Lelesi | January 31, 1995

Combining Eugene Friesen's combustible spontaneity on the cello, Howard Levy's mastery of the piano and harmonica, and Glen Velez's proficiency on the frame drums, Trio Globo entranced the audience at Spaulding Auditorium Saturday night. Called "a totally original voice in contemporary jazz" by music critics, the trio mesmerized the audience with their unique blend of jazz and world music. Both musician and audience members alike received an education in listening as the group combined their original compositions with an uncanny ability to improvise that stunned the audience. Each artist showed tremendous individual expertise on his respective instrument.
