Administrators deny they erred in Stephens case

By Rini Ghosh | May 1, 1995

Dean of Freshmen Peter Goldsmith yesterday denied accusations leveled against him and the College administration that charged the College mishandled an alleged sexual abuse case last spring. Last week, in an interview with The Dartmouth, Emily Stephens '97 claimed she was persuaded to resolve her sexual abuse complaint through mediation, instead of proceeding with a Committee on Standards hearing. Stephens also said she was encouraged to sign a mediation agreement and received unfair treatment during the month-and-a-half the College handled her case. "I handled this case to the best of my ability, taking care and compassion to consider the best interests of the student involved," said Goldsmith, who acted as Stephens' adviser in the case. Goldsmith said approximately five deans made collective decisions concerning the case, and that the deans at the College "do things very self-consciously and with a lot of care." Stephens said in an interview last night her complaint was with the entire College and its processes, not only with Goldsmith. "I think if somebody chooses Dean Goldsmith as a scapegoat in this matter they are narrowly focusing on the issue," she said.

Conference tries to join generations

By Eryn Macdonald | April 28, 1995

"Joining the Generations," a symposium examining inter-generational issues kicks off this afternoon in the Rockefeller Center for the Social Sciences. Acting Director of the Rockefeller Center Roxanne Waldner said the symposium will "provide an opportunity to have people from a variety of generations discussing issues that are not usually discussed between generations. Kevin Walsh '98, who is part of a student group that helped organize the conference, said it was scheduled for Freshman Family Weekend to allow several generations to take part. He said after taking part in a series of lunches with the Kendall retirement community he realized that "there is a definite lack of understanding between generations." Walsh said one of the goals of the symposium is to look at "idealism across generations and how different groups ideals have held steady across generations." Walsh said he hopes the symposium will be a first step in "creating a dialogue." The symposium will consist of presentations by a variety of speakers, including Vermont Governor Howard Dean and Barbara Dixon, the president-elect of the American Association of Retired Person. One of the most prominent issues, Walsh said, is expected to be a discussion of the future of social security and of whether it will still be available in 40 years. The symposium will open with a keynote address by Fernando Torres-Gil, the Assistant Secretary of Aging tonight at 7 p.m.

Marshall '96 raises funds for Oklahoma victims

By Abigail Klingbeil | April 27, 1995

Friday morning, two days after an explosion ripped apart the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City, Okla., Life Marshall '96 decided she wanted to help the victims of the bombing. By Monday, Marshall said she and other volunteers had raised more than $4,000 for the American Red Cross. "I decided it was worth giving it a shot --and I never expected we'd raise that much money," said Marshall, who is from Los Angeles. She said she was motivated to organize the fundraising effort because she felt "extremely powerless and frustrated" as she watched the aftermath of the bombing on television. Just three days before Marshall started her fundraising campaign, she told a friend, "I don't feel like I've done anything" at Dartmouth.

'Seinfeld,' 'E.R.'?A question some ask

By Chin Yoo | April 26, 1995

Every Thursday night around 9, Dartmouth students interrupt their diligent studying to make a weekly pilgrimage to their cluster television rooms, lured by the hope of procrastination, socializing and, of course, free food. They gather for a Dartmouth institution as quintessential as a cappella groups and Sunday night cramming -- the "Seinfeld" study break. But even "Dartmouth institutions" can change. This winter, the River cluster switched its study breaks from the hit comedy to the drama "E.R.," becoming the first cluster to make the big switch. "We changed to 'E.R.' because it was our impression that the show had become more popular than 'Seinfeld,' at least among the residents in the River," Undergraduate Advisor Dave Hemmer '96 said.
