Athletic Director Dick Jaeger '59 recalled how students used to join in the singing and make themselves heard in a "surge of support" for the team.

By Allison Krasnow | October 27, 1994

Ray Elementary School in Hanover concerning an accusation of sexual harassment, I was confronted with a new challenge to my ideas of community.

Hillel has memorial

By Marisa Howe | October 27, 1994

About 40 people gathered in Rollins Chapel for a memorial service yesterday to commemorate the 22 victims of last week's terrorist bombing in Tel Aviv, Israel. "This service will honor those killed in the name of Israel, to express our grief at the tragedy and to pray for a true, immediate peace," said Gideon Katz '97, president of Hillel, the College's Jewish student organization. Shirley Sperling '98 began the service by reciting a poem titled "Every Man has a Name" by the Hebrew poet Zelda. "When we hear this poem, I want it to remind us that every person who died had a family, a job ... and that every person who died was a real person," she said. In a speech following the poem, David Gros '95 linked last week's bombing and yesterday's signing of the peace accords between Israel and Jordan. "Each one was an individual victim," Gros said.
