Cory Smith '96 and Colton Leys '96, both members of the cross-country ski team, began the 50- mile trek at 5:45 a.m.

SA execs appoint procedure committee

By Scott Anthony | October 4, 1993

Last night the top members of the Student Assembly appointed a committee that will scrutinize the legality of President Nicole Artzer's '94 appointments to the executive committee. Artzer is trying to install what she calls a diverse group of student leaders across campus into the top slots of committee chairs, but Assembly insiders protested her choices because only three of them are Assembly members. Last night's closed-door meeting also resulted in a letter explaining changes to the general Assembly's representation policy. A motion proposed last Tuesday by Assembly member Grant Bosse '94 demanded the creation of a temporary committee on procedure to evaluate the constitutionality of Artzer's appointments. Bosse said that Artzer's appointments to the Assembly might not be eligible to serve on the executive committee because some of them were not elected. The executive committee includes the five Assembly committee chairs, and decides which issues the Assembly will discuss. Artzer said she is confident the temporary committee will decide her appointments are constitutional. "It's clear to me that the executive committee is not in violation of the constitution by any stretch of the imagination," she said. The new committee will scramble to come to a decision on Artzer's appointments.

By David Herszenhorn | October 4, 1993

Hanover Police officers arrested two Dartmouth students over the weekend for drunk driving on Route 120.

Tony DelCarmine '94, the senior assistant captain of the hockey team, was arrested Saturday and charged with driving while intoxicated, a Hanover Police spokeswoman said.

Digable Planets satisfies audience

By Marina Lakhman | October 4, 1993

A fusion of cool jazz with hip hop rhythm streamed out of Webster Hall Saturday night as the celestial Digable Planets and their band Planet Patrol performed. In a show that lasted a little longer than an hour, the group played most of the songs from their debut album "Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space)," including their hit single "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)," which hit number 15 on the pop charts last spring. Keeping an audience of over 500 people entertained and often dancing, Digable Planets members Butterfly, Ladybug and Doodlebug seemed to have hit the right notes for even hard core rap lovers. Their sound, which varied from song to song, had the aura of a New Orleans jazz club at one instrumental point and then had most of the audience jumping up and down and waving their hands in unity during "Pacifics," the hit song from the soundtrack to the film "New York is Red Hot." Although the group's cool rhythm can take one away from the harshness of everyday life, the Digable Planets' social influence remained in synch with their beat, addressing the issues of abortion and drug use. The group's insect nicknames are part of their unstated social influence.

Graduate students find their place in dormitories

By Christopher Kao | October 4, 1993

Five graduate students selected by the Office of Residential Life last spring to live in undergraduate dormitories moved into their apartments at the beginning of this term. Renovations that turned the dormitory rooms into apartments this summer, including the addition of small kitchens to each, cost approximately $2,500 for each room. As part of ORL's residential staff, the graduate associates, Stephanie Beebe, Shawn-Marie Mayrand, Maureen McGrath, Bruce Sneddon and Len Wisniewski, will work with Area Coordinators and Undergraduate Advisors to give academic advice and counseling to all cluster residents. "We're not just here for freshmen but for upperclassmen too," said Sneddon, a graduate student in pharmacology who lives in the Russell Sage-Butterfield cluster.

Galleria gets bomb threat

By Sung Eun Choi | October 4, 1993

An anonymous caller told employees of Dartmouth Travel Friday afternoon that a bomb was in the Galleria, where the travel agency is located. The caller warned, "there is a bomb in the building, get out of the building," said Hanover Police Sergeant Lawrence Ranslow, who responded to the call. Ranslow said police did not cordon off the area but warned employees and shoppers of the threat. Hanover Fire Department workers were called to the scene when a bystander reported that he smelled smoke in a stairwell. But Fire Captain Mike Doolan said there was no evidence of smoke. Signs were posted around the building under the authority of Hanover Police Sergeant Nick Giaccone.

'Rush terrorists' irresponsible

By Ryan Victor | October 4, 1993

Well, rush is over for the fall of 1993, and I couldn't be more relieved. I'm glad not so much because it is an exhausting experience, but because every year it seems to bring the worst out of Dartmouth students, just for a few days. During the days of rush, it is remarkable how little respect anti-Greeks show their fellow students and how poorly they regard the intelligence of their fellow students. I'm not talking about those (I apologize most sincerely for forgetting your name) who stand outside dining halls and attempt to engage students in informal dialogue about the pros and cons of the Greek system. I'm referring to the "rush terrorists," people who self-righteously proclaim the evils of the Greek system and then retreat into the shadows to congratulate each other's heroism in anonymity.

Use of campus laundry machines now costs $1

By Timothy Fitzgibbons | October 1, 1993

Students must now pay an extra 50 cents to wash and dry each load of laundry. At the end of Summer term the College and Mac-Gray, the company that supplies residence hall laundry machines, raised the cost of the use of washers and dryers to one dollar. The 25 cent increase is the result of rising utility costs and comes after two years of negotiations between Dartmouth and Mac-Gray, Director of Residential Operations Woody Eckels said. Eckels said the price hike was the first at the College in seven years and that few schools in America have lower laundry costs. Nine of the 44 schools the College surveyed last year charged 75 cents for washers and 19 levied 75 cents for dryers, Eckels said. The rest of the schools charged $1.00 or $1.25 to use a washer or dryer, he added. Kleen Drycleaners & Linen Services in Hanover charges $1.25 for use of the smallest washers and 25 cents for 10 minutes of dryer use. Eckels said he contacted local laundromats and found prices in residence halls are the cheapest in the area. Dartmouth students spend about $160,000 each year in College laundry machines, Eckels said. Students said they were not pleased with the price hike.
