'94 comes on down for Price is Right

By Jack Vaitayanonta | March 31, 1994

"Dave Rinehart '95, come on doowwn!" He was the latest Dartmouth contestant on "The Price is Right" game show, in which he won a trip for six days and six nights to Australia in the Check-Out game. The win was the highlight of a Spring break trip packed with celebrity encounters and almost-on-the-air exposure for 12 members of the Aires, one of Dartmouth's a cappella singing groups. Rinehart was in the audience with the other members of the Aires, who spent the break in California on a singing tour, when he was called.

Need-Blind Admissions Not Provided by ROTC

By David Cohen | March 31, 1994

To the Editor: In your article about the Student Assembly's report on ROTC ("SA drafts report backing ROTC," March 30), you write that the SA report states: "To remove ROTC would run contrary to the College's 'need blind' admission policy, and would fly in the face of any ideology which bars discrimination based upon economic status." Even though this is only a draft, it is important to correct a common misconception. What the Assembly report fails to realize is that the U.S.

SA drafts report backing ROTC

By Maggie Fritz | March 30, 1994

A draft of a Student Assembly report to the Board of Trustees argues the Reserve Officer Training Corps program does not violate the College's Principle of Community and Principle of Equal Opportunity. The 13-page preliminary report also cites student opinion polls supporting the ROTC program as another reason why the program should continue. The Board of Trustees is scheduled to vote on the future of the ROTC program at their Spring meeting, which will take place during the weekend of April 15. In 1991, the Trustees announced that Dartmouth would discontinue ROTC if the military's ban on homosexuals was not lifted by April 1993 because it violated the College's Principle of Community and Principle of Equal Opportunity.

Usually about 50 percent of accepted students matriculate, Furstenberg said.

Assembly sets goals

By Maggie Fritz | March 30, 1994

Working under the guidelines of a new constitution, the Student Assembly began the term last night by discussing both the status of old projects and plans for the rest of the academic year. The Assembly hopes to publish an academic advising guide this term to provide students with information about where to turn for their specific advising needs. The discussion series on the Coed Fraternity Sorority system that the Assembly began in the fall will conclude this term. Members are also working on a report about the D-plan, which they hope to present to the Board of Trustees at its April meeting. Assembly President Nicole Artzer '94 said the report will show "that there are so many balances back and forth that it needs to be examined by a serious committee." The 28-page revised constitution, which was formally adopted on the final day of classes last term, is more detailed than the previous document and provided more information about the specific duties of the various Assembly officers. The new constitution also increases the number of general student representatives from 21 to 24 and gives more flexibility to the Assembly in determining the functions of its standing committees. But the new constitution still contains some ambiguities the Assembly did not resolve, said Tim Rodenberger '95, chair of the Constitutional Committee. "There were one or two changes that I would liked to have seen to the constitution," Rodenberger said.

The Good, The Bad and The NRO

By Dan Richman | March 30, 1994

We're all back in Hanover now and facing the somewhat unpleasant notion of three new classes. Many of you undoubtedly find yourselves scrambling to choose that third class each term and, to make your life easier, I have compiled a modest list of courses which I have found to be quite palatable, and others which are a bit less so. I have slaved for almost three years here in Hanover to bring you this valuable information.

Tuck Globalizes

By Alexander R. Edlich | March 29, 1994

The Amos Tuck School of Business Administration named last week one of its professor the director of the school's new $13 million international business program, which will expand opportunities abroad for students and professors. Dean of the Tuck School Edward Fox named Tuck Professor Joseph Massey as the center's director March 24. The new program, called the Whittemore Center for International Business, will facilitate development of foreign contacts, enhance research possibilities and create new jobs for graduates, Fox said. The center is the school's latest step in increasing international trade knowledge and skills, mirroring the growing importance of global commerce in today's world. The center's creation was made possible by a $6 million bequest from Earl Daum '24, T'25, a former member of Tuck's advisory board.

DOC selects leaders

By David Hemmer | March 29, 1994

Amy Barnhorst '95, the Dartmouth Outing Club's new president, and Todd Parment '95, the new vice president, said they want to make the club more unified in its promotion of outdoor education and leadership. Barnhorst, who replaced Mark Giordono '94, and Parment, who succeeded Wyatt Oswald '94, started their year-long tenures at the beginning of this term. The DOC is the umbrella organization that coordinates Cabin and Trail, Environmental Studies, Winter Sports and several outdoor clubs, such as Bait and Bullet, Biathlon, Cycling, Ledyard Canoe, Mountaineering, Riding, Trap and Skeet and Snow Boarding. Both new leaders enter their positions with extensive experience in the DOC and goals to make the different divisions within the club more unified. "I want to try to bring out a more unified club spirit so that - rather than being opposing faction of kayakers, rock climbers and backpackers - the club is a more coherent group of people who share a diverse interest in a variety of activities and work together to make things happen," Barnhorst said. Through his new position, Parment said he hopes to broaden his own experience and to create stronger ties between the many divisions of the Outing Club. While conceding the divisions have many different purposes, Parment said he thinks "there is a lot that the different groups could offer each other." Barnhorst, who became involved with the DOC her freshman year, was the co-chair of the Mountaineering Club.
