Dartmouth tames Lions in last home game

By Eric Petitt | November 7, 1994

It all came down to pride for the Dartmouth football team as it squeaked by the Columbia Lions 14-13 in its final home game of the season Saturday. Knowing that it had no chance of winning the Ivy League title, the heavily injured Big Green set out to avoid losing to Columbia for the first time since 1971 and for the first time to the Lions at Memorial Field since 1941. The game was not pretty, but Dartmouth was able to outwork the Lions all day to earn the win, though nearly blowing it in the closing moments. Dartmouth improved to 2-3 in the Ivy League and 4-4 overall.

Say goodbye to Center...and brace yourself for Moore

By Andrea Meacham | November 7, 1994

Most College students visit the Hop at least once a day to gaze hopefully into their H.B.'s, perhaps making sure to rub the nose of the lucky Hop statue before an exam. But over the last few months things have started to look a little different in the front of the Hopkins Center.

McCall '58 fighting to keep New York comptroller seat

By Alexander R. Edlich | November 7, 1994

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 -- In an unsavory anti-incumbent season fraught with vitriolic campaigns, H. Carl McCall '58 is fighting to hold onto his state comptroller job. Comptroller McCall, who is narrowly ahead of Republican challenger Herbert London in polls before New Yorkers head to vote on Tuesday, would be the first African American elected to a state-wide position if he wins. Last year, the state legislature appointed McCall to fill the remaining two years of Republican Edward Regan's term, who retired from the post. This year's campaign has concentrated on anything but the issues that face the state, which is slowly emerging from tough economic times.

Let The System Live On

By Jim Brennan | November 4, 1994

Before I start, I'd like to qualify my opinions by noting that I am not a member of a Greek organization. I am speaking as someone who has formed his opinions on fraternities, sororities and co-ed houses through interaction with friends, parties that I have attended and from events of which I have heard. In my two years at Dartmouth, I have become convinced that too many people disparage and criticize the Greek system without an adequate understanding of its many different positive aspects.

Read First-Year Report to Understand Proposals

By Alyse Kornfeld | November 4, 1994

To the Editor: The First-Year Experience Committee report was issued in May of 1994. The follow-up summary was released two weeks ago. Some students think that the report is about "Freshman Dorms," "new meal plans" or "changing the name of the Freshman Office." To narrow it down to these simplicities is to let mis-information stifle a very important debate.

Policy causes legal debate

By Keith Lavigne | November 4, 1994

Last night community leaders held a public form to defend the Hanover Police Department's "internal possession" policy, while earlier in the day the New Hampshire branch of the American Civil Liberties Union announced it will challenge it. Although it is ultimately up to the courts to untangle the complex legal issues, both sides maintain their interpretations of the law are correct. Under New Hampshire law "any person under the age of 21 years who has in his possession anyt liquor or alcoholic beverage shall be guilty of a violation," according to New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated179:10. Under the "internal possession" policy, police can use the presence of alcohol in the bloodstream as circumstantial evidence in cases where an underage drinker is charged with "unlawful possession." But opponents of "internal possession" interpret NH RSA179:10 as restricting the definition of possession to only mean the external possession of alcoholic beverages. In 1992, a motion in the New Hampshire legislature attempted to amend the statute so that alcohol in a person's system would be considered possession of alcohol, but on urging from the N.H.

Recruiting: not just suits

By Rebecca Siegel | November 4, 1994

As the cold descends upon Hanover, many seniors are trying to balance their time between classes, enjoying their last fall as undergraduates, applying to graduate schools and -- for some -- the corporate recruiting process. Seeing upperclassmen walk across the green with samples of toothpaste or shampoo will not be uncommon during the next few months as national corporations come to Dartmouth looking for students to fill full-time and internship positions in such areas as banking, sales management and advertising. This past week, seniors have crammed into Career Services, pouring through company descriptions to finalize their resumes and cover letters to meet today's deadline for certain corporations and firms that offer on-campus interviews. The Career Center extended its hours until 8 p.m.
