Deer runs through Fairchild window

Chased by dogs, a frightened deer smashed through a first floor window of the Fairchild Natural Sciences Center last night. The deer sped through the building, leaped out a window in Room 18 and ran across campus to Memorial Field where it bled to death, according to Hanover Police Sgt.

Designing A College: How Dartmouth grew up and why it looks like it does

One of the most important parts of any college or university is its appearance. Dartmouth's edifices are composed mostly of staid, conservative New England buildings, which reproduce nicely in glossy promotional catalogs and postcards. But each of these buildings has a unique story to tell.

Dartmouth needs more sororities

This term the Coed Fraternity and Sorority Council has been working to rectify the perceived inequalities in CFS elections.

Heps preview

In the outdoor track season, there are the Heptagonal Championships and nothing else. That weekend has arrived for the men and women's track teams as they prepare to head off to Brown for the Heps. "This is the meet that is really the measure of our success," Coach Carl Wallin said. The Heps are the first - and only - scoring meet for both teams this season and include all eight Ivy League teams along with Army and Navy. While Navy, the indoor winner, is the favorite, both Dartmouth teams will probably finish within the top half of the competition. The strength for both teams, as always, is in the middle and long distance events and the throwing events. Jon Fidelak '93, Mike Hughes '93, Dennis Webster '93 and Aaron Culliney '96 combined to win the 4x800-meter relay at Heps this winter.

No honor in cheating

After a year of service on the Committee on Standards, I have witnessed an appalling number of academic dishonesty cases and an even larger number of excuses. Perhaps what is most upsetting is the lack of respect some students have towards the quality of their scholarship and the integrity of their classmates.

Arctic explorer; Symposium honors prof's 80th birthday

Retired Anthropology Professor Elmer Harp, a pioneer in the development of archaeological research in the Eastern Arctic, was honored on campus last week at an event which drew anthropology experts from around the world. The three-day event, dubbed The Elders Conference on the History of Archeology in the Eastern Arctic, was sponsored by the Dicky Endowment, the Institute on Canada and the United States, the Institute of Arctic Studies, the anthropology and Native American studies departments and The Arctic Studies Center of the Smithsonian. The celebration was the brainchild of William Fitzhugh '64, one of Harp's former students, and attracted the "elders" of the field, experts from around the world. Harp noted that this event was not held entirely for him, yet his assessment falls into line with his modest account of his accomplishments, many of which have had significant impact on the academic departments at Dartmouth. Harp, who celebrated his 80th birthday in April, founded the anthropology department at the College in the 1960s. His 32 years of field research in Newfoundland resulted in the naming of the site of his research near the city of Port au Choix as a historical landmark.

Biathalon remembers Peter McKernan '93

The third annual Peter A. McKernan Memorial Biathalon will kick off this Saturday at 1 p.m., combining a three-mile run on Rip Road with an eight-mile bike race on the Etna Loop. The event is held in memory of Peter McKernan '93, who died of heart troubles in the winter of 1991. All proceeds will go to the Pete McKernan Scholarship Fund. "The scholarship was set up by Peter's parents and is given to three distinguished Maine high school students," said Jay Gonzalez '93, who was a friend of McKernan's and helped establish the yearly event. Participants must pay a $10 entrance fee, and can sign up in the Hopkins Center Thursday, Friday and the day of the race, according to Laurie Senn '94, who is helping to organize the fundraiser. "We hope to get around 100 to a 150 participants," Senn said. Sponsorship from the Interfraternity Council, the Coed Fraternity Sorority Council and the Panhellenic Council will help pay for free t-shirts given to participants. Local businesses will provide prizes for the first 15 finishers, according to Senn.

Winds damage roof, tree

A sudden and powerful gust of wind last night snapped a 40 foot pine tree behind Gile Hall and swept portions of copper roofing off Parkhust Hall. According to the Lebanon Airport control tower, winds reached speeds of 44 mph. A long portion of copper roofing on Parkhurst was lifted up, twisted about and landed back on the roof. Students reported seeing a funnel of wind touch down on the top of Parkhurst. "The wind was blowing really hard," said Greg Papajohn '96 who stood out side of Massachusetts Hall.

Maathai speaks on African environment

Montgomery Fellow Dr. Wangari Maathai last night told an audience in 105 Dartmouth Hall, "My government does not seem to like what I do ... there were fears that I would not arrive at this beautiful campus." Maathai, considered the leading environmentalist in Africa and the Third World and a controversial political figure in her native Kenya, was recently in hiding there following a government attempt to arrest her. Her visit to the College as a Montgomery Fellow was uncertain only weeks ago, but she spoke last night on "Women's Role in the Environment and Politics in Kenya." Maathai is director of the Green Belt Movement, an environmental organization founded 16 years ago to promote reforestation and expansion of natural fuel resources, and provide income and empowerment for rural workers, who are mostly women. The movement encourages tree-planting to combat malnutrition and the effects of environmental exploitation in rural communities.
