By Colin Grey | April 20, 1994

Working a pottery wheel at the College's Davidson's Pottery Studio, a student can look up at any time and glance through the window at the Connecticut River flowing by. It is a magnificent vista and one of the things students say makes the studio, which lies just across the Ledyard bridge in Vermont, a special place. "It's really great, especially on nice days," said Paul Graeve '96, who has worked at the studio since his Freshman Spring.

By Scott Anthony | April 20, 1994

Jerry Singleton will transfer from Colorado State University next fall with a good chance to be the starting quarterback now that the historic career of Jay Fielder '94 is over.

Math in so many words

By Rini Ghosh | April 20, 1994

A 30-page term paper assigned in an introductory math class this term dealt some students an unexpected blow. But Professor Dorothy Wallace said she believes the paper will help students in her Math 8 class improve their writing and ability to explain mathematical concepts. "I think it's a little ridiculous for a math teacher to assign a 30-page paper," said a '97 who asked to remain anonymous. Sixteen out of 17 students interviewed over the past two days shared that opinion.

ROTC protested little in Ivy League

By Maggie Fritz | April 20, 1994

The College's Board of Trustees' decision to retain the Reserve Officers' Training Corps is similar to recent decisions made by Trustees at Harvard and Princeton Universities to extend the program. But campus debate about ROTC has been more intense at Dartmouth than at any other Ivy League school. Brown University phased out ROTC in the 1970s for reasons unrelated to the issue of gays in the military, which is the driving force behind protests at Dartmouth. And students at Columbia and Yale Universities and the University of Pennsylvania, where the program is run off campus, said the issue has attracted little debate.
