Speaker attacks efforts for gay rights

By Michael Beckley | May 24, 1993

In a controversial discussion last night addressing the role of gays in society, Dr. Ernest van den Haag attacked efforts to pass legislation protecting the civil rights of homosexuals. A divided audience gathered in 105 Dartmouth Hall to watch Van den Haag's speech, which was sponsored by the Hopkins Institute and the Dartmouth Speakers Union. Before the speech, students who support homosexual rights hung a huge pink triangle, the symbol of the gay rights movements, from the cupola atop Dartmouth Hall. Inside, the audience of about 75 people was split almost evenly in its reaction to van den Haag's speech.

Recyclers push to eliminate bottles

By Christopher Kao | May 21, 1993

Buildings and Grounds officials have demanded that the College's dining halls stop selling bottled Snapple beverages or help pay for the cost of recycling the glass. Dartmouth Dining Services sells more than 15,000 Snapple bottles each month. "My preference is that we drink out of aluminum cans," said William Hochstin, director of Dartmouth Recycles, the College's recycling program. Aluminum is easier to recycle than glass, he said. "There is a problem with Snapple bottles," Building and Grounds Director Dick Plummer said.

The money would have helped cover the $9,000 cost of bringing the band to the campus.

Kiewit recommends computers for shmen

By Alexander R. Edlich | May 21, 1993

A letter to incoming students this summer will urge them buy a more expensive and powerful computer system than the one recommended to the Class of 1996 last year. According to a draft of the letter prepared by the Committee on Computing, the recommended computer system is a Macintosh LCIII with a 12 inch black and white monitor, which currently costs $1,330. The package will cost approximately $200 more than the Classic II package which the committee recommend a year ago but the exact price cannot be determined until Apple replies to the computer store. Chemistry Professor Joseph Belbruno, who chairs the committee, said the committee based its recommendation on whether the computer will benefit the students just as well senior year as it does freshman year. "We didn't feel the Classic II would serve someone well for the next four years," he said.

A weather conspiracy

By Ryan Carey | May 20, 1993

I am angry. I'm angry about the fact that I have this stupid column to write, angry that I've a paper due Friday, angry that most of my friends are out of school already, and angry that I could be playing Frisbee -- not disc -- instead of doing any work. Obviously, the source of my aggressions is the weather.
