Search underway to replace Blunt chief

By Marina Lakhman | July 20, 1993

The search for a new vice president of Development and Alumni Affairs is underway with College President James Freedman's formation of an eight member search committee. The committee first met in late June, a month after Warren "Skip" Hance '55 announced he will retire. Headed by Dean of Faculty James Wright, the committee has placed advertisements in The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Chronicle of Philanthropy and the Alumni Magazine to let people know of the opening. "We have advertised the position and begun the process of getting applications and nominations," Wright said. Freedman also sent a letter and a job description to several thousand Dartmouth alumni, inviting them to make nominations and to send in applications. Wright said although the committee would like to move quickly on the search, deadlines will remain loose.

Pedestrian pathway planned for Mass Row

By Joe Berger | July 16, 1993

The College will close down permanently the road in front of the Massachussetts Row dormitories this fall, to add a pedestrian atmosphere planners hope to create between Thayer Dining Hall and the new Collis Student Center. Treasurer Lyn Hutton announced the project in a letter sent to students earlier this week. According to Assistant Director of Business Affairs Bill Barr, the road will be blocked at each end of the cluster in a fashion similar to the brick walkway outside Rockefeller Center, which is blocked from the street with posts. On the pedestrian mall, Barr said, pavement will be replaced by grass on what is now sidewalk on one side of the street and parking on the other.

'Womyn' post stickers

By Steve Hoffman | July 16, 1993

A group of approximately 10 students plastered the campus Sunday night with stickers proclaiming "womyn are everywhere" in an effort to draw attention to women's issues and to provide Dartmouth with a radical voice, one member of the group said. The group attached the white stickers with plain black letters to buildings, bathroom walls, sign posts, windows and other locations around campus including the backs of cars parked in several fraternity parking lots. "By printing a fact on a sticker, we turned the message into a symbol; a symbol which strikes each person differently," said one woman who put up the stickers and who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The sticker's ambiguous message was intentional, she said. "They don't really say anything specific and yet they say a lot," the woman said.

By Angela Crossman | July 16, 1993

It's sunny, hot, humid and sticky. You drip with sweat and smell like you've just finished an All-Star basketball game; instead, you're in New England in the midst of a heat wave. As your brow drips with sweat and your body pulsates with excess heat, you dream about swimming. The obvious first choice is the Connecticut River.

Eastwood thrilling 'In the Line of Fire'

By Michael Hauser | July 13, 1993

First of all, skeptics of the world, "In the Line of Fire" is not another JFK conspiracy movie. The many references to the untimely demise of the president are included only for their symbolic value, and for the character development of Horton, played by the revered cinematic veteran Clint Eastwood. In his first production since his Academy Award winning "Unforgiven," Eastwood plays a secret service agent in this movie directed by German Wolfgang Petersen. Horton is known among his colleagues as a "dinosaur," having been in the department long enough to have been assigned to defend President Kennedy on that fateful Dallas afternoon in November 1963. Despite earning a legendary reputation for toughness over the years, Horton's career, confidence and personal life were never quite strong enough to overcome his apparent failure to dive in front of the fatal shots purportedly emanating from the book depository across the street. Enter John Malkovich as the antagonist.
