Dartmouth's search for social equity continues after 23 years

By Breeanne Clowdus | February 27, 1995

There are few topics at Dartmouth that can stir up as much passion as the question of gender equity and the Greek system. At a school where fraternity parties dominate the social scene, meaning parties are inherently on men's "turf," some women say it is difficult to find their own social space on campus. And the issue of whether women are equal members of the campus social scene still remains unresolved after 23 years of coeducation. In the near future, the College must face even more controversial issues, including whether there should be more sororities and whether those new sororities' houses should replace fraternity houses. And of course, always hovering in the background of all these discussions is the larger issue of whether it is best for the College to continue having a single-sex social system. Greek sex equity With 15 fraternities, six sororities, three coed fraternities, two coed undergraduate societies, two historically black fraternities and one historically black sorority on campus, there seems to be no doubt that women at Dartmouth have fewer social options than men -- especially in the Greek system. "The Greek system does not reflect sex equity in terms of actual resources available to men and women students," Dean of Residential Life Mary Turco said.

SA execs condemn ORL housing policy

By Michael Posey | February 27, 1995

The Student Assembly Executive Committee passed three resolutions last night, including one asking the Office of Residential Life to completely redraw housing numbers or to offer services helping sophomores find a place to live. The Executive Committee also passed resolutions calling for the College's Board of Trustees to lobby against Congress' proposed financial aid cuts and another resolution condemning mandatory vehicle registration for students. All three resolutions will be presented to the general Assembly at Tuesday night's meeting. Assembly Vice President John Honovich '97 sponsored a resolution demanding ORL take action to fix problems with the new housing plan, which Honovich's resolution says inherently discriminates against sophomores. Under this plan, Class of 1998 members would be the last group to receive housing.

By Mary Ellen Moore | February 24, 1995

William Meyer, a Connecticut man convicted of second-degree manslaughter for helping his terminally-ill father commit suicide, defended his decision in a panel discussion last night.

At his father's request, Meyer fixed a plastic bag over his father's head with rubber bands and held his father's hands away from the bag so he would not remove it before the large dose of sedatives he had ingested took effect. "My immediate response was to talk him out of it," Meyer said.
