Lone Pine pub will open in new Collis

|

When the dust is waxed away from the newly placed grey tiles on the first floor of the renovated Collis Student Center, students will step into a campus pub complete with Dartmouth memorabilia, special food selections and five nights of programming a week. The pub committee of the Programming Board is currently finalizing plans for The Lone Pine Tavern, the replacement for Hovey's Pub now located in the basement of Thayer Dining Hall. Along with the rest of the Collis Center, the Lone Pine Tavern is scheduled to open its doors in the middle of January. With a bar, a small performance space and seating for 80, the Tavern will host a variety of events including poetry readings, radio broadcasts, and beer and wine tasting parties in addition to live music shows. "We want it to be a place for people to hang out," said Kevin Crawford '94, a member of the pub committee.

Graduate students are not needed in dorms

|

Dartmouth dormitory life has been disturbed by the nuisance of uninvited guests. The Office of Residential Life's pilot program to house graduate students in undergraduate dorms has stealthily infiltrated the domain of students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. What was a contested proposal last year has quietly become a reality, and in the process Dartmouth has lost some of that celebrated collegiate ambiance. The personality of this school is derived from the notion of undergraduate education itself.

Co-eds may leave CFSC

|

Members of co-ed Greek organizations last night discussed establishing a constitution that would mark the first step in a proposed secession from the Co-ed Fraternity Sorority Council. But the houses did not vote on a constitution last night at house meetings, and probably will not this term, said Mark Griffin '96, president of the Co-ed Council, which has drafted a constitution for the co-ed organizations. Griffin said the council still has to look over the proposed constitution again, distribute it to the co-ed houses, vote on it and then submit it the College. "It's not near completion," Griffin said. The CFSC is an umbrella organization for the Greek houses and the various subcommittees, including the Co-ed Council.

Hillel plans stall

|

Plans for a new Jewish student center have been temporarily stalled because the architectural proposals exceed the cost and size specifications requested by the College and Hillel, the Jewish students' organization. "The plans are simply too large and over budget," said George Hathorn, associate director of facilities planning and the College's resident architect. The Center for Jewish Life at Dartmouth, which will be located north of Delta Delta Delta sorority house, will provide Hillel more room than its current location on Summer Street. Plans for the new center include a worship and dining area for 200 people.

Greek discussion is first in series

|

In a group discussion on the Greek system sponsored by the Student Assembly last night, students said they want alcohol at Dartmouth social events and that women feel uncomfortable going into fraternity houses. About 20 students attended the discussion in the Hyphen, called "Men and Women and the CFS: How well does the system serve the students?", Assembly President Nicole Artzer '94 moderated the discussion, where most student comments supported the College's current Greek system.

Economics prof won't finish term

|

With only two and half weeks left until final exams, a visiting economics professor is leaving the College and will not finish teaching two sections of Economics 22, a course on macroeconomics. Two senior professors in the economics department visited the classes yesterday and told students that Alastair McFarlane, a visiting professor from the University of Michigan, would not finish teaching his courses this term. McFarlane had also been scheduled to teach Economics 10 at Dartmouth next term. Department Chair Jack Menge and Professor David Blanchflower told the students that the remaining classes would be taught be senior macroeconomics professors. In an interview last night, Menge would not say why the department is replacing McFarlane.

SA rejects women's dormitory

|

The Student Assembly voted down a motion Tuesday night that recommended the creation of an affinity residence hall for students concerned about women's issues. The motion, which would have supported creating a Women's Perspective Residence Hall, was sponsored by Rukmini Sichitiu '95 and Danielle Moore '95. Sichitiu said the dormitory would "be a support structure for women at Dartmouth." "It will foster dialogue and it will have a strong academic focus," she said of the proposed hall. But for now supporters will have to do without the full Assembly's support for the program. The Office of Residential Life, Dean of Faculty James Wright and Dean of Students Lee Pelton must approve the idea before the dorm can be created. "ORL definitely supports the motion," Sichitiu said at the meeting.

Director takes stage; Loehlin speaks on contemporary 'Measure'

|

The director of a theatrical production rarely graces the stage on which he has worked so hard to shape a drama, but James Loehlin stepped into the limelight of Center Theater on Tuesday afternoon to deliver a long, not-so-dramatic monologue titled "Shakespeare's Urban Problem Play." Loehlin's currently running production of "Measure for Measure," which he contemporized and set in an unspecified, deteriorating city (although the Brooklyn accents of some of the characters lead one to speculate) opened last week to campus-wide praise. The play's central themes, Loehlin felt, resonate keenly with a modern audience.

Men's soccer closes frustrating season

|

With 20 minutes left in a game against Princeton on Oct. 17, the men's soccer team was cruising along with a 2-0 lead and enjoying what Coach Bobby Clark described as "the best soccer we played all year." Ten minutes later, the game was tied and the Big Green headed for an overtime defeat in a game which may have been the turning point of a season filled with expectations but marked with inconsistency. Dartmouth rode a four-game win streak heading into the much-anticipated matchup against the Tigers, who were 3-0 in the Ivy League at the time.

Referendum is the beginning of debate

|

Ever since Student Assembly announced the eferendum on single-sex houses in the Greek system, there has been a renewed debate about the best approach in discussing social options. I think this is a good thing.
