By Joe Berger | August 3, 1993

A report on campus safety released late last month recommended that some proposed safety measures should wait until final decisions are reached on a campus-wide electronic security system for residence halls. In its report, the Safety Implementation Committee outlined and assessed steps the College took in the past year to improve campus safety. Dean of Students Lee Pelton established the committee of administrators and students to evaluate the results of another report issued earlier in the year. The first report was written by the Task Force on Campus Safety, formed by Pelton in Spring of 1992 in response to a sexual assault which occurred that term.

A blast in the past: the history of Dartmouth

By Jonathan Landy | July 31, 1993

Created out of the vision of Eleazar Wheelock to educate Native Americans as well as whites, Dartmouth College was founded in 1769 after Wheelock's first educational attempt, the Moor's Charity School, failed following 15 years of existence.

He thus linked his two pursuits in a vision of teaching and christianizing pagans.

Let the College tempt your taste buds

By Rory Goode | July 31, 1993

Arguably the most difficult task 'shmen face at the beginning of the year is figuring out how to get the most out of a meal plan. Some form of college meal plan is mandatory for all four years, but freshmen have it especially rough because of the complicated "meal equivalency transfer," affectionately known as the "punch" system. Each first-year student must select either a 10- or 14-meal plan, and each week will have that many punches to use up -- otherwise the leftovers will simply vanish after Sunday night.

By Dawn Conner | July 31, 1993

All first-year students know that upon entering the world of "college life," they will enter a world that has existed for hundreds of years, through thousands of students, millions of ideas and many traditions.

From the moment a new student reaches the campus for DOC trips, traditions are evident.
