Nachtwey '70 speaks

By Stephanie Saad | November 17, 1994

Last night at the Hood Museum, preeminent photojournalist James Nachtwey '70 presented a slide show and narration of his 13 years in a profession defined by danger, violence and the witnessing of the world's horrors. Nachtwey described himself as a 'war photographer,' and chronicled how he became interested in photography at the College and, lacking the money to enter graduate programs, how he educated himself 'in the aisles of bookstores' and on various small assignments, beginning international photography in 1981. While the photographs stand alone as testament to atrocities around the world, Nachtwey's narrative lent insight into his emotional engagement in his work.

Women's volleyball ends season with hopes for next

By Erika Tower | November 17, 1994

While the women's volleyball team's record this season may not seem successful, it does not reflect the effort and enthusiasm these women put into the first fully-funded varsity season of volleyball. The team ended the season with a 2-18 record overall, beating the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore in its first match and Wagner College in the Harvard Tournament two weekends ago. In the Harvard tournament, the Big Green won one of the four matches they played, beating Wagner 3-2 and losing to Harvard 0-3, University of Vermont 1-3 and University of Hartford 0-3. Dartmouth lost their first match to the host, Harvard, in three games, 0-15, 5-15 and 8-15.

By Jennifer Wulff | November 17, 1994

Fighting Sexism an Unnecessary Sacrifice

By Pamm Quinn | November 17, 1994

I am writing in order to support Danielle Moore '95's decision to resign as Student Assembly president, as well as to say something to those who have attacked her for doing so. Over the past 24 hours what I have heard most about her decision are loud proclamations from men that if Moore was not respected as a leader, it was not because she was a woman, but because she was a bad leader. I am not a part of the Assembly, nor do I know anyone involved in this organization, but as a woman and a student leader on campus, I have encountered both subtle and overt sexism and complete disrespect since the day I arrived on this campus. Making the problem worse are the men (most of the male students at Dartmouth I would say) who react violently to such a claim and refuse to listen to anything that Moore, or any woman making a similar complaint, has to say. Though I know that it will do no good, I demand that each and every man on this campus examine his behavior and ask himself whether he really has treated every woman with whom he has come into contact with the respect she deserves. For example, have you never made sexist comments, used sexist terms or cracked sexist jokes?

The Real Gender Problems Forgotten

By Claire Unis | November 17, 1994

Student Assembly President Danielle Moore '95's resignation sparked predictable responses: outrage, criticism, confusion. The act of resignation is a controversial one -- a disappointing one, from the standpoint of the students who elected her with the expectation that she would serve as Assembly president for the whole year and try to put the Assembly back on course.

'X' marks the spot for map surveying

By Rini Ghosh | November 17, 1994

Although some may think the large plastic "X" located in the middle of the green indicates the spot of hidden treasure, the marker is actually in place to aid the creation of a topographical campus map. The purpose of the map is to "give overall campus planning assistance," said John Gratiot, associate director of Facilities and Planning.

Empowerment of Women a Reason to Stay

By Kimberly Worboys | November 17, 1994

To the Editor: As a woman and a feminist I am disappointed with the reasons given by Danielle Moore '95 for her resignation of the Student Assembly presidency. I do not fault her for failing to stop infighting in the Assembly; that task seems superhuman.

Skiway improves lifts, snow making

By Nathaniel Leclery | November 17, 1994

The Dartmouth Skiway, coming off a very successful past year, has made several improvements for the upcoming ski season. The Skiway enhanced the quadruple chair lift installed last year and purchased all new rental equipment for the 1994-95 season, a Skiway spokesperson said. The Skiway has also improved its snow making capabilities and can now cover 60 percent of the mountain with natural snow. But the spokesperson said it is still too warm to make snow and the Skiway is not planning to open until the middle of December. Last year Hanover received more than six feet of snow, providing the Skiway some of its best conditions in years. Two years ago the Skiway, which features 16 trails and three lifts, turned its first profit since 1985.

Hunger aid advocated

By Hanita Sawhney | November 17, 1994

"When will we get to the point where even one hungry person makes us mad, instead of handing the problem over to someone else?" Randall Quan '93, Volunteer Coordinator for the Tucker Foundation, said in his introductory remarks last night for the keynote speaker of Hunger Awareness Week. John Morrill, executive director for the Hunger Caucus in Washington D.C., delivered the keynote address, titled "Developing the Political Will to End Hunger." to about 20 people last night.

In Resigning, Moore Failed As Activist

By William S. Kartalopoulos | November 17, 1994

I regret deeply that Danielle Moore '95 felt the need to resign as Student Assembly president. Although I did not always agree with the positions she took, she provided a good example of leadership, and I admired her conciliatory approach to Assembly politics which, over the past couple of years, have at times -- though not always, as some believe -- embodied all that is wrong with American politics today. She was having a hard time and I think that perhaps the poor attendance at Assembly meetings proved to be her biggest bane (and, indirectly, the cause of many problems), however she continued to stick to her beliefs.

Case of Unfair Control by Ruling Majority

To the Editor: I have been interested in getting involved in the Student Assembly and due to sports commitments this Fall term have not been able to. Nevertheless, I still want to stay informed about the ongoings of the Assembly.

Tour examines lighting, suggests improvements

By Aran Toshav | November 17, 1994

On a frigid night yesterday, Rebel Roberts, Safety and Security's crime prevention officer, led a group of mainly administrators on a two-hour tour that examined outdoor lighting across campus. In the process the most important student question about campus lighting was answered: No, lights do not intentionally go off when people walk past them. The tour, which covered the entire campus, assessed all aspects of the College's lighting, evaluated the changes made in the past year and looked for ways to improve safety by making dark areas brighter. "The tour is a chance for the community to voice its concerns about the lighting at Dartmouth," Liza Veto '93 of College Health Service, said.

SA postpones meal plan talk

By Siobhan Gorman | November 16, 1994

Although a resolution to support the new meal plan proposal was on its agenda, the Student Assembly decided not to discuss the new meal plan last night because it had not advertised the issues, a condition agreed upon at the Executive Committee meeting Sunday. The meal plan resolution was sponsored by Grace Chionuma '96, Secretary John Honovich '97, President Danielle Moore '95 and Vice President Rukmini Sichitiu '95. But because the Assembly's Executive Committee had not made enough of an effort to publicize last night's open Assembly meeting and to inform student about the new meal plan, those sponsoring the resolution removed it from the agenda. Honovich said he sent out a BlitzMail message to about 600 first-year students and posted a BlitzMail bulletin with meal plan information.
