The Dartmouth Review carries the banner of conservatism

By Jeffrey Beyer | May 30, 1995

Although one of its founders never thought it would last this long, The Dartmouth Review, an off-campus conservative weekly that has sparked innumerable controversies on campus, celebrated its fifteenth anniversary this spring. From the numerous clashes with College presidents to attacks on Dartmouth administrators and professors, The Review has created a clear image and identity for itself since its founding in 1980 and has become, for better or for worse, a part of Dartmouth's culture. The early years Four conservative Dartmouth students -- Greg Fossedal '81, Gordon Haff '81, Benjamin Hart '81 and Michael "Keeney" Jones '82 founded The Review in the spring of 1980. Although all four are considered The Review's founders, according to Haff the paper was Fossedal's brainchild. Fossedal was the editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth before resigning due to a clash with the paper's editorial board.

ORL has small wait-list

By Michael Posey | May 30, 1995

One year after the College narrowly avoided a potentially massive housing crisis, there are only 96 students on the wait-list for Fall term housing, according to Director of Housing Services Lynn Rosenblum. When housing assignments came out about two weeks ago, 132 students were on the wait-list, Rosenblum said. "Things look good," she said, but added she is not sure if every student who is on the wait-list will be able to get housing this fall. Rosenblum said it is hard to predict whether there will be a housing crunch. "This is my third year here, and there has been a wait-list every fall," she said.

Bollinger finishes first year as provost

By Jeffrey Beyer | May 30, 1995

Taking over in a time of transition for the College, Provost Lee Bollinger said he has now settled into his job and feels that he accomplished many important things in his first year in office. Immediately thrown into dean searches and campus development plans upon his arrival from Michigan Law School last fall, Bollinger has had the opportunity to deal with a number of important issues that will affect the College's future. According to Bollinger, one of his most formidable tasks was finding new deans for the Thayer School of Engineering and the top-ranked Amos Tuck School of Business Administration. Bollinger said helping to select Elsa Garmire as Thayer's new dean and Paul Danos as the new dean of the Tuck School marked the highlight of his first year at the College. "The qualities they bring to the positions and the responses of the various constituencies we're concerned with make those decisions all the more outstanding," Bollinger said. Bollinger said he also found the campus expansion project very satisfying. "Planning for the development on the north side of campus, I feel, is one of the most important projects for Dartmouth College," Bollinger said. He said helping to develop the structure and form of the Northpart of campus, particularly the new psychology building and Berry Library, has been "exhilarating." But aside from these satisfying and rewarding experiences of the past year, Bollinger said he has also faced many challenges like trying to balance the College's budget for the fiscal years 1996 and 1997.

Former Playboy models bare their souls, reveal reasons behind decisions

By Charles Davant | May 29, 1995

Playboy Magazine recently visited Dartmouth in search of models for their 1995 "Women of the Ivy League," sparking much protest on campus and debate over the women in America today. Although three College coeds decided to pose for the magazine, they perhaps should have talked to former College students who posed for the magazine, one of whom says she now regrets her decision to pose, and two women who say posing has had little effect on their lives. Sharon Cowan '78 posed for Playboy's 1979 Women of the Ivy League pictorial during her senior year at the College. She said she made her decision "on a whim," adding she initially saw the "decision as something quite personal and not really of much importance." "Why shouldn't I indulge the whim, pocket this extra cash, have some fun and have something to tell my grandchildren about," she said. But 16 years after her moment in the pages of one of America's most famous magazines, Cowan, who now works in Rome as a United Nations officer, said she regrets following that whim. "Absolutely.

Dragon will move behind Tri-Delta

By Mary Ellen Moore | May 29, 1995

The Hanover Planning Board recently granted the College conditional approval of its plans to relocate the Dragon Senior Society to a site in the wooded area behind Delta Delta Delta sorority.

College Director of Facilities Planning Gordie DeWitt said Hanover buildings are required to have a certain number of parking spaces depending on the building size. DeWitt said he discussed the parking issue with the zoning board on May 22, but said the board will not make any decisions until its meeting tomorrow night. "We don't anticipate a problem, but you never know," DeWitt said.

Some predict turmoil in next year's Assembly

By Maggie Fritz | May 29, 1995

Following a year plagued with politicking, infighting and inefficiency in the Student Assembly, the prognosis for next year's Assembly does not appear to be much better unless Assembly President-elect Jim Rich '96 and Assembly Vice President-elect Kelii Opulauoho '96 can work out their differences and grow to respect one another. Fissures are already appearing in next year's Assembly, as Rich and Opulauoho have disagreed on several issues. "Given the difficult beginning of [Jim's and Kelii's] relationship, their mutual respect and friendship can only dramatically increase from this point," said Hosea Harvey '95, chair of the Student Assembly External Review Committee. Rich freely admits he and Opulauoho have their differences. "But like any rational people, we're going to have differences," Rich said. "We've come to a consensus on many issues and we plan to come to a consensus on future issues," he said. Opulauoho was not available to comment. Can they work together? One Assembly insider, who did not wish to be identified, said Rich and Opulauoho have yet to demonstrate that they can work together. "It doesn't seem at all like they are a team -- it seems like they both have their own agenda and vision for Assembly," he said.
