Lessons to Learn From 'Spanking the Monkey'

By Chris Kelly | January 30, 1995

This past Saturday I went to see "Spanking The Monkey," which as far as I can tell, is the first mainstream (relatively speaking) American film to deal with the subjects of masturbation and incest. The film is about an MIT student who is forced to give up his lucrative summer internship in order to stay home and take care of his bedridden mother.

By Editorial Board | January 30, 1995

The Student Assembly needs to refocus its Webster Hall campaign, which has been misguided and ineffective from its beginning in January. Saturday night's "Rally to Replace Webster Hall" was the latest example of the Assembly's lack of focus.

Women's track team falls just short

By Matthew Holmwood | January 30, 1995

Senior Kristin Cobb's gallant four-lap chase of a University of Massachusetts runner came up two seconds short, and Dartmouth finished second by one point in the Tri-State Challenge, held Saturday at Leverone Field House. The final score was the Massachusetts 50, Dartmouth 49, University of Vermont 43 and University of New Hampshire 10. Cobb, anchoring the 4 x 800 meter relay team, received the baton 20 meters behind the UMass anchor and steadily closed the gap before running out of time. The final event highlighted a competitive and spirited meet.

'Lonesome' orchestra enthralls audience

By Gisela Insuaste | January 30, 1995

Silent black and white films emphasize the importance of physical motion and facial emotion. These films are an art in themselves, sparkling remnants of the developing film industry. "Lonesome" is a film that has the energy to convey a message without sound.

Matthews plays with excitement and energy

By Karin Chesebro | January 30, 1995

Friday night's sold out concert, featuring Big Head Todd and the Monsters, the Dave Matthews Band, and opening act Ugly Americans, drew masses of excited students who enthusiastically welcomed the bands. The Dave Matthews Band was the undisputed favorite with the audience. The band succeeded in turning a mellow, politely responsive crowd into a bunch of wild, crazed fans who ruthlessly squeezed their way toward the stage in hopes of a better view. "Our energy comes from playing live," said violinist Boyd Tinsley in an interview last week, and the band definitely lived up to this promise. Tinsley stole the show with his astounding fiddle playing, and his frequent jam sessions with guitarist/lead vocalist Dave Matthews gave the performance a feeling of spontaneity. "Boyd Tinsley was amazing.

Students hold rally

By Rini Ghosh | January 27, 1995

Eleven members of "Students for a United Dartmouth" led a rally in front of Collis last night to protest some of the proposals in the "Report on the First-Year Experience." The 15-minute gathering included four speeches in opposition to the report and attracted about 15 students. The students then went to a "town meeting" led by Dean of the College Lee Pelton to discuss the first-year report. "We're just a bunch of concerned students who are out here to get our voices heard on this important issue," CUAD President Bill Hall '96 said. The report's recommendations include the creation of primarily- freshman residence halls in which students would live on the same hall as other students from their freshmen seminars. Members of Students for a United Dartmouth said they primarily object to the concept of grouping all freshmen together in residence halls. In his speech, Hall addressed his two main objections to the report.
