Controversy and celebration: '92-'93 revisited

By Scott Anthony | July 31, 1993

The campus witnessed a tumultuous year of change. There was cause for some lament and some celebration as 1992-93 tried to usher the College into a new era. The year began with a daring call by Student Assembly President Andrew Beebe '93 during Convocation for the Class of 1996 to revolutionize the Greek system.

For your learning pleasure

Obviously you aren't coming to Dartmouth just because it had the best looking brochure highlighting the beautiful campus and countless extracurricular options.

Warning: now entering a hard hat area

By Joe Berger | July 31, 1993

Construction and renovation on campus the past two years have been a constant annoyance to students, but the Class of 1997 will see the rewards in its first year, and will not be as greatly inconvenienced in the future. The project most exciting for student life is the new Collis Student Center, scheduled to open this spring.

Let the College tempt your taste buds

By Rory Goode | July 31, 1993

Arguably the most difficult task 'shmen face at the beginning of the year is figuring out how to get the most out of a meal plan. Some form of college meal plan is mandatory for all four years, but freshmen have it especially rough because of the complicated "meal equivalency transfer," affectionately known as the "punch" system. Each first-year student must select either a 10- or 14-meal plan, and each week will have that many punches to use up -- otherwise the leftovers will simply vanish after Sunday night.

Remember the past but don't rush into old traditions

By Dawn Conner | July 31, 1993

All first-year students know that upon entering the world of "college life," they will enter a world that has existed for hundreds of years, through thousands of students, millions of ideas and many traditions. Though the faces of Dartmouth continually evolve and shape to the newest members of its community, there are some aspects of the College that just seem to stick around. From the moment a new student reaches the campus for DOC trips, traditions are evident.

Dartmouth's mean, green social scene

By Angela Crossman--Alicia Abell | July 31, 1993

So, you're coming to Dartmouth. Why? For most of you, part of the answer probably lies in the academics and part in the location. Nestled in the Connecticut River Valley, far from bustling cities like Boston and New York, Hanover, New Hampshire is NOT a city that never stops.

Alums rub elbows at the Dartmouth Club in NY

By Alexander R. Edlich | July 30, 1993

NEW YORK CITY -- Everyone, from the women in business attire to the seersucker-clad men, is moving at the standard Ivy League crawl in the Dartmouth Club in midtown Manhattan. Upon entering the Yale Club, with which the Dartmouth Club shares facilities, it is hard to escape the traditional scenery that is more reminiscent of Sanborn House than a playground of Ivy League graduates. Although Dartmouth shares the building with Yale, Yalies dominate the atmosphere.

Special DBA cards created for town

By Kristen King | July 30, 1993

Students can now use The Hanover Green Card, a cashless system similar to Dartmouth Dining Service's declining balance plan, to purchase menu items from eight local restaurants. Driven by student demand for an alternative to the College's dining services with the convenience of a charge card, Mitch Jacobs '94 developed a new system entirely separate from the Collegethat allows students to draw from a pre-paid account for off-campus dining and delivery with a plastic card, a photo ID and a signature. Unlike the College's Valedine cards, the Hanover Green Card operates year round, including interim periods and terms students are off.

Football team clowns around with kids

By Jennifer Skoda | July 30, 1993

Clowns and cotton candy aren't just for kids. On Sunday July 25, a group of Dartmouth football players enjoyed the visiting Big Apple Circus with Upper Valley area children. In the name of Friends of Dartmouth Football, an anonymous alumnus donated 20 circus tickets to the Tucker Foundation. According to Matt Feeley '94, a team member who attended the circus, Friends of Dartmouth Football organized the trip and the team members signed up through the football office. Twenty players took a chartered bus to Lebanon, N.H.

The lesson of Reggie Lewis

By Brad Parks | July 30, 1993

We've seen the picture before. The photo was a shot of Boston Celtics' team captain Reggie Lewis, who died Tuesday of cardiac arrest while shooting baskets at Brandeis University, sitting on the floor after collapsing during a playoff game against Charlotte in April. Lewis looked dazed and confused with a "how could this be happening to me?" expression on his face. The picture was splashed across the sports section of every Boston newspaper with the story of the star's fate: he would never play basketball again. Every article, it seemed, described his illness as the heart disease that killed Loyola-Marymount star Hank Gathers in 1990. The pictures were alike, too. The Celtics, under pressure because they allowed Lewis to reenter the Charlotte game for a short time, assembled a team of doctors, which Celtics' Senior Executive Vice President and Dave Gavitt '59 likened to the dream team of cardiology, who ran a diverse battery of tests on the 27-year old All-Star. Their prognosis confirmed that Lewis indeed had cardiomyopathy, a disease that damages the heart and causes it to beat irregularly.
