Town, College prepare for weekend

By Erik Tanouye | May 17, 1996

Students are not the only ones gearing up for the weekend. Local businesses and policing forces have been planning and preparing strategies to deal with the additional people expected on campus for Green Key Weekend. Now that the weekend is finally here, their masterminded stratagems will be put through the battery of tests that is Green Key Weekend. Stephen Colanero, general manager of Molly's Balloon, said they would be "batting down the hatches and preparing for the onslaught." Local businesses and the Hanover Police, stressed the importance of having enough staff for the weekend. "The only thing that we do," Hanover Police Captain Chris O'Connor said, "is that we know it's going to be really active, and we want to make sure we're properly staffed." "Normally because of the amount of people it attracts from other schools," he said, "there's always the increased possibility that you're going to deal with more persons." "With such areas of alcohol use and consumption and intoxication -- some of these types of incidents can be time-consuming," O'Connor said. "The only thing that we do is just know when the high times are, the times that you're going to have the highest rates of incidents, which is normally anywhere from 8 p.m.

New lawn policy creates levels of transgression

By Aaron Lisman | May 16, 1996

The Coed Fraternity Sorority Council voted last week to revise a policy that punishes Greek houses for leaving garbage and party debris on their lawns so that the punishment fits the severity of the transgression. The original clean grounds policy, passed one year ago, was widely considered unreasonable by members of the Greek system because it made little distinction between major and minor violations. The old policy judged violations strictly by the number of items of trash on the grounds, CFSC President Marty Dengler '97 said. "It really tied the hands of the judiciary committee," he said.

President of the Conservative Union at Dartmouth Isaac Thorne '96 said while he anticipated Dole would relinquish his position as Senate majority leader, "it is pretty amazing he stepped down in general." "I was surprised Dole gave up something he has been doing for so long," CUAD Vice President Mark Cicirelli '96 said.

By Elysa Jacobs | May 16, 1996

The "Supercluster" took a step closer to becoming a reality this week when 100 upperclass students received notification that they will live in the East Wheelock cluster next fall and become the first students to experience the Dartmouth Experience program. Associate Dean of Residential Life Bud Beatty said 183 upperclass students applied to live in the cluster and that pool was then narrowed to 168, after improperly filed applications and students who became UGAs and ACs were weeded out. There are 235 beds in East Wheelock.

HBs will broaden student services

By Erin Loback | May 16, 1996

Starting Monday, the hours of the mail window in the Hinman Post Office will be extended, and by Fall term other new mail services will be available for students, Assistant Director of Facilities Services Bill Hochstin said yesterday. Hochstin said a postage stamp vending machine will be installed in the Hinman Post Office in the Hopkins Center in the near future and by the beginning Fall term students will be notified by BlitzMail when they have received a UPS package. Student Assembly President Jim Rich '96 said the Assembly has been "working closely with both Bill [Hochstin] and Howard [Durkee, who manages campus mail operations] all year on various projects that stemmed primarily" from the Federal Express issue Winter term. Winter term the Hinman Post Office announced it would cease accepting deliveries of Federal Express packages because the company was "unwilling to meet the College terms required for the Hinman Post Office in order to ensure the most economical and efficient delivery of packages," according to a letter sent to students in the winter. The Assembly worked with Hochstin to keep Fed-Ex available to students. Hochstin said the Hinman mail window will be open from 7:30 a.m.

150 students on housing waitlist

By Elysa Jacobs | May 16, 1996

About 150 students receiving Fall term housing assignments this week will reach into their Hinman boxes only to discover they have been placed on a waitlist by the Office of Residential Life. But one-third of these students will be able to take advantage of the 48 empty beds still available through affinity programs. Associate Dean of Residential Life Bud Beatty said last year's waitlist began with 132 students, all of whom received fall housing by mid-July. "The students on the waitlist are our number-one priority," said Beatty, who urged waitlisted students not to panic. Beatty said this year there were 1,717 applicants for the 2,809 beds available on campus in residential halls, special interest housing and affinity housing.

Professors share thoughts on feminism

By Erin Loback | May 16, 1996

Several professors spoke last night about what feminism means to them in a panel discussion before about 30 people. The panel, part of a series titled "What is Feminism?" sponsored by the Women's Resource Center, was moderated by Director of the Women's Resource Center Giavanna Munafo. The panelists were Spanish Professor Agnes Lugo-Ortiz, Susan Fraiman, an English professor at the University of Virginia, French and Comparative Literature Professor Marianne Hirsch, Director of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Mary Childers and Physics Professor Delo Mook. Munafo, who introduced the panelists, said it is "interesting to hear what feminism means to different people so you can explore your common ground." Lugo-Ortiz said as a child in Puerto Rico her grandmother told her she should have been a boy because she liked to climb trees and ride horses. "My gender restricted my energy," she said. Lugo-Ortiz said throughout her youth she was taught by teachers that Puerto Ricans were inferior and by her father that women and children were inferior. "I was all three," Lugo-Ortiz said. Later she spoke about the "penguins in ties" who run Congress and the United Nations.
