Henestrosa '96 will enter the race for Assembly VP

By Maggie Fritz | March 3, 1995

Aleph Henestrosa '96 yesterday announced he will run for Student Assembly vice president next term on a platform of drastic reform. Henestrosa said the current Assembly lacks legitimacy and respect, has almost no impact on student life and very little bargaining power with the administration. "I've heard a lot of students say that the Student Assembly is very irrelevant and some people even say we should do away with it," he said. Henestrosa said he would replace the present Assembly with a new forum he dubbed the Student Council, which would include members of the administration and faculty in addition to students. He said the council would have more bargaining power with the administration. Henestrosa said he is concerned with campus social life, which he said is monopolized by the Greek system. But Henestrosa said he is not anti-Greek and would like to work with both Greek and non-Greek students to broaden student activities. Henestrosa said he would also promote understanding between campus groups by allowing all students to serve on Assembly committees. Henestrosa, an active member of the Latin-American Forum, has never served as a member of the Student Assembly.

McGill professor talks on liberty and pornography

By Allison K. Hoffman | March 3, 1995

The value of liberty versus equality in pornography was the underlying issue McGill University Professor Susan Dwyer addressed in a lecture yesterday afternoon to about 50 people. Dwyer explored the question of the compatibility of the freedom of expression with the equality of women in society. If the two concepts are incompatible, Dwyer said feminists will face further problems because they will inherently support equality for women.

By Giavanna Munafo, | March 3, 1995

To the Editor: We are writing today to express our deep concern for the students, faculty and staff on our campus who have been and continue to be insulted, derided and attacked either because they are gay, lesbian or bisexual, or because they are people of color or because they are active in the equal rights movements of the 1990s, whatever their own sexual identity, race or ethnicity.

Smith says U.S. politics are in crisis

By David Pichler | March 3, 1995

Washington insider and former Dartmouth professor Larry Smith said in a speech last night that United States politics is in the "grips of another great crisis of confidence." Smith gave a speech to about 30 listeners in the Hinman Forum in the Rockfeller Center for the Social Sciences on "Political Hacks and Policy Wonks: a Report from Backstage Washington." Smith has had an extensive career in Washington since he left Dartmouth in 1968.He has worked for several secretaries of state and has run political campaigns for former Colorado Senator Gary Hart and former New Hampshire Senator Tom McIntytre. Smith presently teaches public policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. He said the last "great crisis of confidence" in American politics was in the 1960s, when issues like the Vietnam War, gender and race polarized the American populace. There have been fundamental changes in the way politics are done since those times, Smith said. "There was once the 1948 model, where America was compartmentalized into blocks of power -- the unions, Chicago, farmers, etc," Smith said.

Playoff chances still alive, barely

By Jeffrey Beyer | March 3, 1995

The cryptic playoff picture in the ECAC will be finalized for good this weekend, the last one of the regular season. As convoluted as it is, there is a scenario that would allow twelfth-place Dartmouth to get into the postseason dance. To make the playoffs Dartmouth must first win both of their games this weekend, against Princeton and Yale and hope the Union Skating Dutchmen lose both their games on the road, against Colgate and Cornell. This would lift Dartmouth into a tenth-place tie with Union. The first tiebreaker is head-to-head record, which would not break the tie, since the Dartmouth-Union season series ended tied 1-1. The second tiebreaker is composite points against the Top 4 league teams.

Turco named as head of alcohol task force

By Colin Grey | March 3, 1995

Dean of the College Lee Pelton announced yesterday that College Health Services Director Dr. Jack Turco will co-chair a task force aimed at examining the problems caused by alcohol at the College. A student will co-chair the task force, but Pelton said he would not release the student's name yet. Pelton said he chose Turco because "he has been very involved in this issue at Dartmouth." "He, in fact, was the originator of several alcohol programs that have in the past received some national attention, so he brings to this a lot of experience and knowledge," Pelton said. Pelton said the task force, which will convene at the beginning of next term, will look at four aspects of alcohol on campus. He said the task force will look at underage drinking on campus, evaluate the effect of alcohol on gender relations, make recommendations concerning the membership and charter of the College Committee on Alcohol and Other Drugs and will make suggestion on the effectiveness of the College's current programs dealing with alcohol. In addition to the two co-chairs, Pelton said the task force, which should be finished with its work by the end of Spring term, will be composed of other administrators and faculty members.

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | March 3, 1995

With the 25th anniversary of coeducation fast approaching, the time is right for theCollege to create a task force to seriously evaluate the status of women on campus. Women's Resource Center Director Giavanna Munafo approached the administration earlier this term with a plan for a task force, made up of administrators, faculty and students, to examine the "environment for women at Dartmouth." While the College has made great strides toward reaching gender equity, both administrators and students say there is work to be done in and out of the classroom.

By Jeffrey Beyer | March 3, 1995

The men's hockey team has only two more games to show it deserves a spot in the ECAC playoffs. But, unfortunately, it may be too late. A three-game losing streak has left the Big Green (5-13-2 ECAC, 7-16-2 overall) entrenched in last place in the ECAC and on the brink of elimination.

The Review Is Not the Problem

By Kerri Apblett | March 3, 1995

The power that the Dartmouth Review has over this school is amazing. If one actually believed the whining that goes on, it would appear as though the Review is at the heart of every problem that exists on campus.
