By Amy Semet | April 19, 1994

Wilma Mankiller, the first woman to lead a major Northern American Indian tribe, said last night her greatest challenge as chief was to get people to believe in themselves. Mankiller addressed a crowd that overfilled 105 Dartmouth Hall and left only standing room. Mankiller, who became the Cherokee Nation's principal chief in 1987, compared her job to that of a Chief Executive Officer running a small country.

Trustees vote to continue ROTC

By Alexander R. Edlich | April 18, 1994

The Board of Trustees voted over the weekend to keep the Army's Reserve Officer Training Corps, but admitted the program discriminates against homosexuals. The Trustees' statement, released Saturday, said the Board wished to preserve the opportunity for students to participate in ROTC but also pledged to work to change the military's policy toward homosexuals. By keeping the program, the Board overrode recommendations by the faculty and College President James Freedman to eliminate ROTC because of its discriminatory policies. But the Board's statement supported their claim that the military's current policy concerning homosexuals is still discriminatory. "The so-called 'don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue' policy enacted by Congress in 1993 places Dartmouth and other institutions of higher education in an unacceptable situation," the Trustees wrote in their two-page statement.

By Siobhan Gorman | April 18, 1994

Just before Dave Rinehart '95 was to place his winning bid on a $900 prize package of a doormat and pair of lamps on the Price is Right last Thursday, President Bill Clinton broke into the broadcast with a special news report. Rinehart won a six-day trip to Australia in the Check-out game while the President told of the United States mistakenly shooting down two of its own helicopters over Iraq. Viewers never saw Rinehart on the show again. Rinehart, who filmed the show during a Spring Break trip with the Aires a capella group, is now in Germany on a Foreign Study Program and could not be reached for comment.

Campus divided over decision

By Alexander R. Edlich | April 18, 1994

A wave of emotion rolled across the campus following the Board of Trustees' decision to keep the Army's Reserve Officer Training Corps program. The Trustees' statement, released Saturday afternoon, shocked and angered homosexuals at the College. Religion Professor Susan Ackerman, a former co-convener of the Coalition for Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Concerns, said the decision further alienates the homosexual community and it sends a message to them that they are "not as important." Bart Bingenheimer '94 said he thought it was a "sure bet" the Board would vote to eliminate the program.

Talk focuses on women of color

By Nneka Landrum | April 15, 1994

About 40 students met at the top of the Hop yesterday afternoon as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Week to discuss how sexual assault affects women of color. The discussion, moderated by Ann Marshall '95, focused mainly on how difficult it is for sexually assaulted women of color to obtain support from within and outside of their communities. "Sexual assault is not separate from the racial problems and history which exist in this country," Susie Lee '94 said. Women of color are often not believed when revealing they have been sexually assaulted, especially when the attacker is Caucasian, Lee said. And if the attacker is part of their community, women of color are often made to feel as if they must keep silent to combat media-made stereotypes about their communities, she said. "Women of color should realize that they too are part of their community and deserve to valued as such," S.T.

Speaker discusses men's role in rape prevention

By Rebecca Siegel | April 14, 1994

Alan Berkowitz, the director of counseling at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, spoke yesterday about men's responsibilities for the prevention of rape and sexual assault. As part of Dartmouth's Sexual Assault Awareness Week, Berkowitz, who came up to the College from Geneva, New York, gave a speech titled, "Consent Versus Coercion: Changing Men's Roles Towards Mutuality in Sexual Relationships." He defined rape as sexual penetration without consent and sexual assault as relations that are coerced or not agreed upon. "The goal is that if people want to be sexually intimate, there should be uncoerced mutual consent," Berkowitz said. Berkowitz said male gender roles in America are defined when children are growing up and then carry over into adulthood.
