New Hampshire overpowers Big Green

By Rohit Chandra | January 24, 1995

Enthusiasm flagged at Leede Arena last night as Scott Drapeau scored 25 points, leading the New Hampshire Wildcats to an 87-60 shellacking of the Big Green. With Dartmouth center Brian Gilpin '97 out with an ankle injury, suffered 11 minutes into the game, the Wildcats had their way inside. A rotating triumvirate of Dartmouth centers could do little against the 1993-94 North Atlantic Conference Player of the Year. With Gilpin out, the team was ineffective on the boards, getting out-rebounded 52-32.

Students complain about Shawmut's fees

By Sara Burch | January 24, 1995

Many Shawmut Bank customers are moving their accounts to other local banks in response to Shawmut's $1.50 service charge for using automatic teller machines other than its own. Shawmut Hanover Branch Manager Lorna Watson said she could not determine how many clients Shawmut has lost. "We are so up to our ears with change, I couldn't give you an accurate assessment," Watson said. Shawmut began charging the $1.50 service charge for every ATM transaction made outside Shawmut ATM machines this past weekend. The New Dartmouth bank, which Shawmut purchased last year, did not charge customers to use their ATM card at other machines. New Dartmouth customers were formally notified and given informational packets regarding Shawmut's policies on Dec.

Honovich tries to move away from his controversial past

By Siobhan Gorman | January 24, 1995

When asked to describe Student Assembly Vice President John Honovich '97, a popular reply seems to be "Direct." Several Assembly members used that word to talk about Honovich in recent conversations. Some members said they believe this quality is what allows Honovich to achieve his goals.

Council links College and 45,000 alumni

By Michael Posey | January 23, 1995

For the more than 45,000 alumni around the world, the Alumni Council serves as a vital link to the administration and the College's Board of Trustees. For instance the Alumni Council is playing an important role in selecting a replacement for departing Trustee Ann Fritz Hackett '76. "The Alumni Council acts as the official liaison between the College and alumni," said Patricia Fisher-Harris, associate director of alumni relations. The Council meets twice a year, and its responsibilities include approving alumni projects, nominating alumni trustees and maintaining a working relationship with the Board of Trustees. It also serves as a sounding board, to get a feel for what alumni think about issues involving the College. Council President Joel Leavitt '50 said the Council's voice is very important, and he likened it to the input given by students, faculty and administrators. Former College President Ernest Martin Hopkins founded the Council to guide and direct Dartmouth Alumni Affairs in 1913.

Ninth Street Theater performs diverse blend of drama

By Katharine Danzansky | January 23, 1995

Laurence Olivier never expected his epic version of "Hamlet" to be re-enacted in 10 minutes by a cast of paper dolls. That, however, is exactly what Ninth Street Theater managed to execute flawlessly with its Travelling Toy Theater Festival in two shows at the Hopkins Center last Saturday. Along with "Olivier's Hamlet," the company performed a version of Tolstoy's "War and Peace," a fable entitled "The Ash King," a political anti-handgun piece entitled "Terror as Usual, Episode 8: Guns and Roses." The group also showed a super-8 film by Meredith Holch entitled "My Hero." Ninth Street Theater used the 19th century art of toy theater, which involves the use of paper stages and cutout puppets to enact dramatic pieces. The Festival opened with "Olivier's Hamlet," written by theater members John Bell, Stephen Kaplin, Nessa Rabin and Roberto Rossi, and performed by Bell, Kaplin, Rabin and Michael Romanyshyn. Two members read the narrative, which consisted of an abridged plot summary of Hamlet interspersed with readings from Olivier's book on acting, while the other two moved the paper puppets. The dramatic contrast between Olivier's austere opus and the irreverence with which the players reenacted it, punctuated by various egoisms from Olivier's book, made the entire effect hilarious. They reduced Olivier's fire and passion to a paper cutout: the ghost's voice was projected by speaking through an empty paper-towel roll and Ophelia died by casually being dropped over the side of the toy theater stage. The next piece, a more serious fairy-tale entitled "The Ash King," was conceived, designed and directed by Janie Geiser with a text by Daniel Zippi. "The Ash King" recounted the story of a man who became king after saving his country from a drought by creating an irrigation system.

Study the First Year Report

By Kevin Walsh | January 23, 1995

Playing the role of prophet and predicting what will happen in the future -- defending all sorts of outlandish opinions and saying silly things -- is what we columnists are often known to do. Less fun, but more practical, is the act of simply using a column to draw attention to a particular issue solely for the sake of drawing attention to that issue without expressing an opinion beyond that of suggesting that one draw one's own opinion.

Rework Weight Room Hours

By Jared Friedland | January 23, 1995

The ability to attend Dartmouth is a privilege. One cannot deny that the approximately $27,000 annual cost is worth the educational and social benefits each student is granted and indeed earns as a member of the oft-cited Dartmouth "community." Yet, in this day and age of administrative pandering to politically correct vocalists demanding the creation of new deans, ad-hoc committees and pointing out oppression on campus, one item has been neglected -- the weight room. Oppression?

Cultural Pursuits: The Importance of Style

By Chris Kelly | January 23, 1995

Last week, I watched the classic Alfred Hitchcock movie "Notorious" for one of my classes. It's the one that features Cary Grant as a suave federal police officer who persuades Ingrid Bergman, the daughter of a convicted German spy, to infiltrate a Brazilian man's inner circle and uncover his role as a German agent. Okay, it's a bit of a hokey set-up, but the movie proves marvelous, and for reasons you might not expect.
