Seasonal Fashion Sense

By Erin Murphy | February 8, 1995

As we begin 1995 and the College celebrates 23 years of coeducation, I would like to discuss an important element in the quest for equitable gender relations at Dartmouth -- fashion. Many observations have been made about the typical male student's proclivity for baseball caps and plaid, but little has been said of women's couture.

By Gonzalo Lira | February 8, 1995

Next June, I will graduate from Dartmouth College. I used to think that classrooms were where I would learn and grow, but the closer I get to Commencement Day, the more I realize that my fellow students are the ones who have provided me with my real education.

College tops Ivies with number of alcohol arrests

By James M> Hunnicutt | February 7, 1995

Dartmouth had the highest number of liquor law violation arrests in the Ivy League this year with 106, up from 33 the year before, according to a report printed in last week's Chronicle of Higher Education. By comparison, Cornell University had eight arrests for liquor law violations, Harvard University had two, the University of Pennsylvania had one and Princeton, Yale, Columbia and Brown Universities had none. The Chronicle article surveyed crime statistics at 796 American colleges and universities. College Proctor Robert McEwen said the increase in underaged drinking and public intoxication arrests could be due to better enforcement, rather than more incidents of possession. "I think students are drinking less overall, but there's more binge drinking," he said. This term, Safety and Security has encountered fewer inebriated students but has seen higher than average blood alcohol levels, McEwen said.

Dana Meadows: author, farmer, journalist, professor

By Neil Desai | February 7, 1995

"It is not sufficient to make your point once and then blame the rest of the world for not getting it ... The point has to be made patiently and repeatedly, day after day after day," Dana Meadows wrote in 1972. Meadows, an environmental studies professor at the College, certainly lives by her own credo. Twenty-three years after writing the controversial best-selling book titled "The Limits to Growth," the professor, author, journalist, biophysicist and farmer continues her work by challenging subconscious beliefs that shape our models of thinking, called paradigms. Meadows has lived on a communal organic farm in Plainfield since she first came to Dartmouth in 1972.

When the phone rings at night, the deans-on-call are there

By Michelle Kraemer | February 7, 1995

When Slade Ellis '98 collapsed in his residence hall and had to be rushed to the hospital two weeks ago, the College's "dean-on-call" system sprang into action. The Department of Safety and Security immediately contacted "dean-on-call" Teoby Gomez, the sophomore class dean, to inform him that Ellis was in critical condition with spinal meningitis, a highly contagious and potentially fatal infection. Director of College Health Services "Jack Turco, the doctor on call, was already at the hospital when I found out," Gomez said.
