Tackles and throws are not taken for granted by Nelson

By Camile Powell | April 14, 1994

Just when you think you've got Adam Nelson '97 all figured out, you discover something about him that throws you for a loop. Take one look at his compact 6-1, 220-pound frame and you immediately think "football player." Listen to him talk about how he enjoys being a linebacker for the Big Green because football "brings out the animalistic side of people without hurting them" and you're not too surprised. Finding out that he holds Dartmouth's indoor shot put record isn't too startling either, especially once you learn that he is capable of bench pressing 430 pounds.

New house for Native American Program

By Colin Grey | April 14, 1994

A newly renovated, larger Native American House closer to campus will be ready for occupancy by next fall. The house will take over the former Occom Inn on North Main Street and will hold 16 beds for students plus a small apartment for a graduate student or faculty member, Project Architect Jack Wilson said. The College acquired the Occom Inn from the Hitchcock Clinic in the fall of last year. Wilson said the new house will offer more living space, including a kitchen, dining room, study room and enlarged recreational space. "I think it will be a wonderful facility," Wilson said.

New SAT will raise scores 98 points

By David Hemmer | April 13, 1994

A new version of the Scholastic Achievement Test was administered for the first time last month and next April a revised scoring system will effectively raise average scores by 98 points. The changes, which significantly revise both the math and verbal sections, are designed to make the test a better measure of the skills necessary for college-level work, according to a statement issued by the College Board who, with the Educational Testing Service, are responsible for the exam. Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Karl Furstenberg chaired the national SAT Committee that developed and approved the changes in 1990. For starters, the SAT will now be called the SAT-I Reasoning Tests.

Navarro talks on Latino diversity

By Colin Grey | April 13, 1994

Marysa Navarro, the chair of the College's Latin American and Carribean Studies Program, kicked off a six week program about Latino culture in the United States last night with a lecture in Dartmouth Hall. Dean of the College Lee Pelton introduced Navarro, who presented an overview of Latino history and diversity. Navarro decried the inaccuracy of lumping such a varied population under a single moniker. "Both Latino and Hispanic are generic terms meant to blur heterogeneity," Navarro said. Navarro said the United States Census includes "people of different races, of different origins and, of course, of different classes," under the term Hispanic, Navarro said. Latinos share a history of Spanish colonialism, and the term 'Hispanic' - which means 'Spanish-speaking' - does not apply to everyone, Navarro said. "It's as if I asked who in this room is a Britannic," Navarro said. Navarro's lecture opened a program titled "Voices of Diversity: Latino Perspectives," which will feature a variety of presentations addressing different aspects of the Latino population. The program, which will run until May 21, features 14 presentations including discussion panels, films and speeches. At the end of her talk, Navarro noted the lack of Dartmouth courses studying Latino culture. "There are only two or three courses dealing with the Latino experience," she said.

Suspicions Founded

By Tim Mccann | April 13, 1994

To the Editor: I am writing in regard to Won Joon Choe '97's outspoken column against The Dartmouth Review ("The Truth of the Matter at The Review," April 11). Daniel Garcia Diaz '95's resignation as Editor-in-Chief is disappointing, as are the suspicious circumstances surrounding his doing so.

Artzer's wild ride nears last curves

By Maggie Fritz | April 13, 1994

Nicole Artzer '94 compared her year at the head of the Student Assembly to riding a roller coaster - each time the Assembly looked like it was heading up, it was only to come to a sickening fall. Sitting on the floor of her bedroom, with her teddy bears watching silently from her bed, Artzer explained the ups and downs of the past year between bites of her "healthy choice" chicken sandwich with cheese and pickles. "It's ironic because I was having these dreams last summer as being heralded as the person who brought Student Assembly back to the middle," Artzer said. "But after this year, Student Assembly is just so far back to the right that it's like having one foot on the banana peel," she said. The roller coaster ride began with a jolt, when the constitutionality of her executive appointments was questioned in the first general Assembly meeting of the year, and nearly ended with a big fall, when members of the Executive Committee attempted to impeach her last term. And throughout the rocky presidential ride, Artzer's had to squabble with Reform SA!, the conservative bloc of students that held 15 of the Assembly's 21 at-large seats. But somehow it all stayed on track. The one thing Artzer singled out as keeping the Assembly on course, even at times when it seemed out of control, was accountability. She said the ability of the Assembly to assume responsibility for its actions enabled the body to continue moving forward despite the turmoil. "I think the things that should always go on in student government are representation, legitimacy and accountability, she said.
