Debators place first and second

By Ranjit S. Ahluwalia | January 25, 1994

Despite the recent retirement of last year's national debate champions, Steven Sklaver '94 and Ara Lovitt '94, Dartmouth's debate teams won one tournament last weekend and finished second in another. Bill Hinsdale '97 and Jacob Waldman '97 won first place at the George Mason University debate tournament, eliminating the College's other team of Lara Swensen '96 and Bryan Diederich '97 in the semi-finals. Hinsdale finished eighth in the individual speaker competition. At Dartmouth's annual round robin tournament, Marc Wilson '96 and John O'Shea '95 placed second to Emory University. The tournament is the only one Dartmouth hosts and features the top seven teams in the country. Dartmouth had a successful weekend without the help of its top two debaters. Though Lovitt did not want to comment on the specific reasons for his retirement, he did say that "Steven and I have retired because we have accomplished everything from debate that we wanted to." The last time the duo competed was in October when they won first place at a tournament at the University of Kentucky. Despite Lovitt and Sklaver's retirements, assistant coach Bill Russell said Dartmouth still has one of the strongest teams in the country. "Even given the loss of the country's best team, Dartmouth still has two teams that promise to be in the top 15," he said. Dartmouth's debate teams have traditionally been among the best in the country.

Few request health care benefits

By Rebecca Siegel | January 25, 1994

Only eight people signed up for a new College policy that gives health care benefits to domestic partners of homosexual employees. The policy, which went into effect this year, gives same-sex domestic partners the same benefits as legally married spouses. Acting Provost Bruce Pipes said administrators originally pegged the cost of the program at $50,000, but the low participation is costing the College only $9,200, according to Director of Human Resources Roger Brock . History Professor Annelise Orleck said there are several possible reasons for the low turnout. "This is a small community where many gay couples are both employed by the College and therefore already have health care," she said.

Campus thefts increase this term

By Jason Casell | January 24, 1994

An increase in campus thefts prompted Safety and Security to post a BlitzMail bulletin earlier this month, warning students about the danger of leaving unattended items in College residence halls. Safety and Security Officer Rebel Roberts said her office has not yet totaled the amount of stolen property in January but said the number of thefts is "uncommon for this time of the year." Roberts said this year more students than usual have reported bicycles and ice skates stolen from outside their dorms and around Occom Pond. But there is no widespread pattern to the increased number of thefts, which occurred in hallways, students' rooms and outdoors, at all times of the day, Roberts said. "Items from boots to barbells have been reported stolen and it's not just limited to hallways," Roberts said.
