Center lets alcoholics recover

|

The Robert H. Smith house helps build a community for recovering alcoholic students that allows them to better cope with the pressures of life at Dartmouth without having to worry about the presence of alcohol. The house, which opened in 1989, provides recovering alcoholics and substance abusers with a "recovery-friendly living environment," said Gabrielle Lucke, the administrative liaison to the students in the Smith program. It is named after a member of the Class of 1902 who was a co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. The students have to be medically recognized as alcoholics, Lucke said.

Student tenor sings

|

Judd Serotta '94 , tenor, gave a strong senior vocal recital with Bill Guerin '96 yesterday in Faulkner Auditorium. The program ranged from Handel and Beethoven to English folk songs, arranged by the country's pre-emminent 20th century composers. In "Ammarili, mia bella", Serotta and Guerin revised the heavily romanticised rendition available to them with something more appropriate for the 20th century. Serotta sang the pieces with immaculate diction although he could have rolled his 'R's more effectively, especially when singing Italian. While his interpretation at times contradicted the style, Serotta was very relaxed and exhibited a high degree of musicality. Serotta's nerves caused him to begin a bit tentatively in the Handel and consequently he did not fully capture the interpretive flavor of the piece.

Doctors re-examine Chinese medicine

|

In a three-hour symposium on Chinese medicine yesterday, Timothy Timmons and San Hong Hwang spoke about practices ranging from acupuncture to tongue diagnosis to a 50-person crowd in Loew Auditorium. The two speakers, who are both doctors at the Samra University of Oriental Medicine in Los Angeles, Calif., focused on the difference between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. "The biggest difference ... is the fact that Western medicine is population based, and Chinese medicine focuses on individually-based therapy and ... is more focused on primary care," Timmons said. Both doctors said Western practitioners are using more elements of Chinese medicine in everyday treatment and are adopting some of the basic philosophies of Eastern medicine.
