Referendum defeated, SA members walk out

By Rini Ghosh | November 9, 1994

After an hour and a half of discussion and debate last night, two Student Assembly members walked out of the meeting and incapacitated the body from taking a stand on the proposed meal plan changes. Earlier in the meeting the Assembly voted against holding a student-wide referendum about the proposed changes, which would eliminate the current mandatory freshmen plan and require all students to pay a $70 fee instead. The referendum resolution was defeated by a 17-13 vote primarily because members felt the general student body does not have enough information about the issue. Members also felt that the Assembly, as a representative body of the students, should take its own position rather than turn to the opinions of the student body.

Can Dartmouth handle its alcohol?

By Breeanne Clowdus | November 9, 1994

National and local interest in student alcohol use has prompted several Dartmouth groups, including the Board of Trustees, to examine campus drinking from a variety of different perspectives. The Trustees will devote a two hour session during their Fall term meeting in Hanover this weekend to a discussion of alcohol. In addition, the College Health Service, the Coed Fraternity and Sorority Council, the Dean's Office, the Student Assembly and Palaeopitus -- a senior organization that advises the College administration -- are analyzing alcohol use from angles ranging from enforcement to health to its effects on the College's social environment. Administrators and student leaders say the broad-based, cross-sectional analyses of alcohol stems from both the Trustees' interest in the issue and the recent attention of the Hanover Police Department's policies on underage drinking. A Columbia University report about alcohol use on college campuses prompted the Trustees to place an informational discussion about alcohol on its agenda, College spokesman Alex Huppe said. The report, released during the summer, found that 42 percent of college students participate in binge drinking, which is defined as consuming five or more drinks in one sitting. The study, conducted by Columbia's Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, reported statistics especially pertinent to Dartmouth's environment.

By Alexander R. Edlich | November 7, 1994

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 -- In an unsavory anti-incumbent season fraught with vitriolic campaigns, H. Carl McCall '58 is fighting to hold onto his state comptroller job. Comptroller McCall, who is narrowly ahead of Republican challenger Herbert London in polls before New Yorkers head to vote on Tuesday, would be the first African American elected to a state-wide position if he wins. Last year, the state legislature appointed McCall to fill the remaining two years of Republican Edward Regan's term, who retired from the post.
