New journal to publish

By Heather Bell | April 5, 1995

Two juniors have started a journal that will publish academic works dedicated to feminist issues, the College's second publication aimed at addressing women's concerns. The journal, Intersections, will present a comprehensive view of feminism by publishing papers written by students in Women's Studies and other courses, according to founders Cassie Ehrenberg '96 and Shilyh Warren '96. "Intersections will recognize the excellent feminist scholarship produced throughout the Dartmouth curriculum," Ehrenberg and Warren wrote in an electronic-mail message. Professors teaching courses pertinent to the journal's focus will recommend papers. The College's other women's issues publication, Spare Rib, was started in 1992. French Professor Marianne Hirsch, who helped Ehrenberg and Warren organize the journal, said, "Everyone has different ideas about what feminism is.

'Liberal agenda' 3 months later

By Michael Posey | April 5, 1995

When Rukmini Sichitiu '95 took over as Student Assembly President in January, she unveiled a self-described "liberal" agenda that focused on minority and women's issues. However, when she took office, Sichitiu had a much larger task facing her, one which she did not formally list in her agenda: restoring order and direction to an often combative and ill-respected Assembly. Sichitiu, who was initially elected the Assembly vice president, took office after Danielle Moore '95 resigned as Assembly president in November.

"Alumnet is like an alumni magazine, only on a smaller scale," Heckman said in a telephone interview from Stanford, Calif.

Amid allegations, SA campaign begins: EAC opts not to impose sanctions

By James M> Hunnicutt | April 4, 1995

Just hours before the campaign period began last night, the Election Advisory Committee decided it will not penalize any of the three Student Assembly presidential candidates for allegedly violating election policy guidelines. Candidates Brandon del Pozo '96, Phil Ferrera '96 and Jim Rich '96 each had complaints filed against them for early campaigning. Director of Student Activities Tim Moore, the chair of the EAC, wrote in a public statement that the committee determined del Pozo, Ferrera and Rich may have broken the rules, but will not take action against any of them because the rules are too vague. "Intentionally or unintentionally, the election guidelines may have been violated," Moore said.

From the grotesque to poetry, home pages express personalities

By Maggie Fritz | April 4, 1995

It might be a good idea to scan your latest love interest's home page on the World Wide Web before you do something you might regret. You might discover that your new sweetheart's home page includes a gallery of photographs of dead people, like Dartmouth Medical School third-year student Dan Blumfeld's "Gallery of the Grotesque." Or you could find you have a real Casanova on your hands, like Rob Leathern '97, whose home page includes an extensive anthology of original poetry. "I saw you standing on the corner,/ Like some cheap whore --/ Selling meaningless gifts, soulless offerings," states one of Leathern's poems titled "Sell My Soul For Your Freedom." Home pages are a fast-growing phenomenon on the Internet and can be accessed by anyone who can get on-line.

"We'll be looking at whether maintaining tradition is something to strive for," Hobson said. Joseph Dadzie '95, the other co-chair, said, "We want to know how tradition has affected us in the past and how it will affect decision making in the future." A number of poets, authors, professors and students will examine tradition in a number of different areas, including religion, literature, science and education. The Class of 1978 established the senior symposium as an intellectual gift to the College from the senior class. The majority of events will take place at either Collis Common Ground or 105 Dartmouth Hall.
