Breakfast vendors compete on the street

By Marina Lakhman | August 13, 1993

In a town as small as Hanover, businesses do everything they can to compete for customers, even if it means going out on to the street. For the last five years, Lou's table of fresh baked goods and coffee outside its store on Main Street has been a common sight for morning and afternoon passersby, but since the opening of Chez Francoise in July behind the Dartmouth Bank, Lou's has had competition. Both bakeries set up tables at 7 a.m.

Medieval Club jousts into past

By Michelle Mooradian | August 13, 1993

Last weekend a group of eight students managed to break free from reality's tight grasp, leaving Hanover and the perils of modern life at Dartmouth behind them. They escaped back into medieval times, re-enacting an old society marked by wild, chaotic wars in which a king assumed all powers over his domain. These students are members of the Medieval Enthusiasts at Dartmouth, one of the newest clubs at the College, whose purpose is to create a focus and framework for the study and enjoyment of medieval history and culture. The medieval re-enactment held last weekend at a Dartmouth Outing Club cabin was the group's first official event.

Greeks clash, compromise on rape awareness funding

By Dawn Conner | August 13, 1993

Raising questions about the organization of Greeks Against Rape and the feasibility of fulfilling its request for monetary contributions from individual houses, the Interfraternity Council refused the group's solicition and instead donated a sum almost five times less than the amount the group originally wanted. In need of money to pay for programming and outstanding debts, Greeks Against Rape, an organization begun to educate Greek pledges about rape and sexual assault, asked each Greek house to donate $50 to the group, Greeks Against Rape President Michelle Wendy '95 said. Alhough the Panhellenic Council, the governing body of all sororities on campus, originally approved the plan, the IFC, comprised of the 14 fraternities decided only to donate $125 total, a figure which Panhell ultimately matched. The IFC refused the request based on several questions about the solicitation, including how the money would be used and why the fundraising was being held in the summer as opposed to the fall, when smaller houses would have more members on to support the cost, according to Wendy. "[Greeks Against Rape] came to us and asked us for money with no real proposal," IFC Social Chair Chris Donley '95 said.

DHMC participates in national cancer study

By Marina Lakhman | August 6, 1993

Fifty-one women from the local area are participating in the nationwide Breast Cancer Prevention Trial through the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. The study, which began in June 1992 in an effort to test the drug tamoxifen for its effectiveness in preventing breast cancer, has now enrolled 8,000 women throughout the U.S., half of those needed to complete the study. Tamoxifen has been used for more than 20 years with breast cancer patients both in the earlier and later stages, but has never been tried as a preventive measure. "Physical checkups and mammograms have been the only preventive methods until now," Dr. Jonathan Ross, the principal investigator of the trial, said.

Sexism still on campus

By 32 Robinson | August 6, 1993

After years of insisting that women not be called "girls," that female students be included in the alma mater and that every student aim to be a pillar of political correctness, it is baffling that most people on campus continue to use the word "freshman" day after day. Just looking at the word "freshman" makes its origins clear; it refers to men who are the "freshest" addition to an institution.
