Dining plan proposed

By Siobhan Gorman | November 2, 1994

A task force charged with evaluating campus meal plans has recommended replacing the mandatory freshman meal plan with a system that gives students the option of paying a $70 fee to have only a declining balance account. If the plan is approved, beginning next Fall term, all students would be required to purchase a minimum dining plan of $400, only $330 of which would be usable as a declining balance account, said Michael Anderson '96, a member of the task force. The other $70 would help subsidize Dartmouth Dining Services and make up for income currently raised by the freshman meal plan, which requires first-year students to pay $938 each term for a combination of meal "punches" and declining balance. The Meal Plan Task Force, created last winter, will present its proposal at a public forum at 7 p.m.

By Anne Renna | November 1, 1994

So integrally a part of daily life at Dartmouth, the familiar presence of the Baker Tower bells can often go unnoticed -- until you find yourself humming "Flintstones, meet the Flintstones ..." as you walk across the Green. James von Rittman '95 is the man behind the machine.

Freedman tells faculty his goals

By Charles Davant | November 1, 1994

In his annual address to the faculty yesterday, College President James Freedman set goals for the coming years and identified positive and negative trends in the composition of the student body and faculty. Freedman touted the merits of the Class of 1998, citing that median scores on Scholastic Aptitude Tests have risen 50 points in four years and that the percentage of women is greater than ever before. "Dartmouth will be a better, livelier place when parity [between the sexes] is reached," Freedman said during his speech, which lasted about 45 minutes. According to Freedman, student matriculation statistics indicate that the gap between Dartmouth and some of the other top schools has narrowed during the last seven years. In 1987, 85 percent of students accepted to both Dartmouth and either Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford or Brown chose not to attend Dartmouth, Freedman said.

Class of 1994-in the real world now

By Allison Groff | November 1, 1994

Statistics about career choices made by the Class of 1994 seem to refute the notions of the disorientation and tumultuous behavior characteristic of Generation X. Career Services recently released a study reporting that out of the 85 percent of graduates who responded to a survey last June, 62 percent sought full-time employment, 24 percent planned to attend graduate school, 1 percent intended to travel, 6 percent expressed other interests, and the remaining 6 percent were still undecided. The Career Services report showed that these statistics are consistent with those of previous classes.

Ivy dreams gone for men's soccer

By Geoff Oltmans | November 1, 1994

The men's soccer team limped home from Boston after a hard-fought 0-0 overtime tie with Harvard on Saturday afternoon. Dartmouth outshot Harvard 14-13 in a very evenly played match that had post-season implications for both teams. The result eliminated Dartmouth from the Ivy League title hunt, but the Big Green, whose record now stands at 6-3-3, can still make the NCAA tournament by earning an at-large berth.

Dartmouth haunted by Crimson

By Eric Petitt | October 31, 1994

Strange things always seem to happen around Halloween. For the Dartmouth football team things were no different as a hexed offense and a vanished defense cursed Memorial Field Saturday, resulting in a haunting 35-12 loss to Ivy League rival Harvard. The loss was the second consecutive for the Big Green, dropping the team to 3-4 overall and 1-3 in the league with three games left to play.
