Alpha Theta works to fund scholarship

Each fall and spring, members of Alpha Theta co-ed house do jobs through the Dickey Endowment, such as rake leaves, stack wood, wash cars and clean out garages to benefit the Alpha Theta scholarship. The $1,000 Alpha Theta scholarship is awarded once a year to an undergraduate with an interest in some aspect of international relations and studies. Last year's winner, Tamara Norman '94, used the money for travel and living expenses in the former Soviet Union where she spent Winter term translating children's books into English. Alpha Theta President Michael Stodghill '94 calls the Dickey jobs "a house bonding experience." House members often complain about doing Dickey jobs, Stodghill said.

Forum eases tension; RipWoodSmith residents meet to discuss racism after Review conflict

|

Residents of the RipWoodSmith dormitory cluster met last night in a forum intended to ease racial tensions heightened by a string of Blitzmail messages that circulated through the cluster the last week. In the angry exchange of electronic mail messages over several days, residents of the cluster accused each other of racism and intolerance. Students said the 90-minute forum helped relieve tension and said they would urge The Dartmouth Review to develop a new distribution system in the cluster. Relations in the cluster have been tense since April 20 when two freshman students, a black man and a white woman, angrily confronted each other in a Woodward hallway over the collection of copies of The Review, the off-campus conservative weekly. Ripley resident Amiri Barksdale '96, who is black, was part of a campuswide effort to remove copies of The Review from dormitories where they are distributed. Erica Greenwood '96, a white Woodward resident, confronted Barksdale as he picked up copies of the paper.
