SA budgets its money

By Micheal Posey | October 13, 1994

Debate among Student Assembly members at their general meetings this term has brought under scrutiny the problem of how the Assembly allocates its approximately $39,000 budget. Tuesday night the Assembly allocated $3,000 to help fund campus publications and last week voted to put $5,000 toward the "Women, Leadership and Activism" symposium. So far the Assembly has either spent or earmarked about 75 percent of its budget, leaving a balance of approximately $9,500 for the rest of the fiscal year. The Assembly has already paid for the Course Guide and the Student Advantage Card and will spend money to publish its monthly newsletter and to help sponsor a meeting of the Ivy Council later this term at Dartmouth. But Assembly President Danielle Moore '95 says the amount left should be sufficient for the duration of the year. Assembly Treasurer Scott Rowekamp '97 agreed.

New network obtains funding

By Maggie Fritz | October 12, 1994

The Steering Committee of the General Faculty yesterday approved a new graduate program related to health care, allocated funding to upgrade the College's computer network and reviewed reports from a variety of faculty committees. The announcements came as part of the Steering Committee's review of reports issued by four College councils. The Steering Committee approved a $2.85 million proposal by the Council on Computing to convert the College's LocalTalk network to Ethernet -- technology that will allow for faster and more direct communications between computers. "At its inception 10 years ago, the network was an innovative and state of the art collection of hardware and software ... but by today's standards, it is long overdue for replacement," the annual report from the Council on Computing stated. The estimated date of completion was not discussed but administrators told The Dartmouth during Summer term that the project would take two or three years to complete. The report states that during the year the Council on Computing discussed the state of computing at Dartmouth and the direction it should follow.

College Departments Discriminate Against Non-work-study Applicants

By William Guerin | October 12, 1994

To the Editor: I would like to call attention to a policy held by many employers at Dartmouth which I feel to be a contradiction of the College's policy of Equal Opportunity, as well as an abuse in spirit of federal grant money. Namely, the common non-acceptance of applications for employment from students who are not eligible for federal work-study subsidies. Under the federal program, Dartmouth receives "a grant from the federal government for the purpose of subsidizing part-time and full-time jobs for financial aid recipients" (Student Handbook, p.

SA gives $3K to papers

By Maggie Fritz | October 12, 1994

The Student Assembly voted last night to establish a $3,000 fund to provide financial assistance to freely-distributed, College-recognized publications such as The Beacon, bug and Spare Rib. The Undergraduate Publications Fund will be administered by a panel of Assembly members and representatives from each College-recognized publication. Assembly Vice President Rukmini Sichitiu '95, who sponsored the motion, said publications need assistance to bridge the gap between advertising revenue, College support and publication costs. The Undergraduate Publications Fund is based on a belief that campus publications enhance the College's educational experience because they "foster an atmosphere of intellectual diversity and engender intellectual debate and discourse," the motion states. The fund will provide "dollar for dollar" matching funds of up to $300 per issue to cover up to one-half of an issue's production costs. The amount of an allocation is dependent upon the advertising revenue the publication collects and the number of times a publication is printed each term, among other considerations. "It is necessary to make sure intellectual discussion goes on not only inside the classroom but outside the classroom," Assembly member Brandon del Pozo '96 said. During discussion of the motion, a few Assembly members expressed concern that $3,000 was excessive relative to the Assembly's total budget. The motion passed 20 to three.
