Freedman cancels poetry reading

By Yvonne Chiu | January 20, 1994

A poetry reading that College President James Freedman had planned to host yesterday in a Wheeler dormitory lounge was cancelled because the President had to leave town unexpectedly, Area Coordinator Tracie Waack '94 said. The President's Office notified Waack and the event's organizers of the change in plans on Tuesday.

By Maggie Fritz | January 19, 1994

SASH releases report

By Maggie Fritz | January 18, 1994

The Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Committee released its annual report last Wednesday, urging the College to create more spaces on campus controlled by women. The report suggested the College provide a house for groups of women who want social gatherings not organized primarily by men. Following the suggestions of the Committee on Diversity and Dartmouth Community's report, the SASH report also urged the College to examine its Greek system. "Despite the efforts of some fraternity leadership to address the problems of peer harassment, sexual abuse and excessive drinking, women students are still subjected to an environment in which ... women become accustomed to entering a space ... in which they will most likely be addressed on the basis of sexual attractiveness more than anything else," the report said. The SASH report also suggested the College hire two full-time peer internsfrom among Dartmouth's seniors to provide leadership for student-based programming. The SASH Committee, established during the 1987-88 academic year, utilizes education as a means of preventing sexual assault and sexual harassment on campus. The committee felt that the campus community as a whole was not as intense last year regarding the subject of sexual assault in comparison to the preceding year as a result of the publicized "stranger" assault on a Dartmouth student in March 1992. The report described student participation as relatively low at SASH events during the last year.

Women's hockey out of Ivy race

By Brad Parks | January 18, 1994

The race for the Ivy League title in women's hockey is down to two teams - unfortunately, Dartmouth is not among them. League-leading Brown University effectively knocked the Big Green out of the championship picture with a 5-3 win over Dartmouth on Saturday at Thompson Arena. A 13-5 bombardment of Cornell University on Sunday in Hanover pushed Dartmouth's record to 7-5-1 overall and 2-2-1 in the Ivy League, but did little to help the team's chances as it now needs both Brown and Princeton to post at least three losses apiece to have a shot at defending its Ivy Championship. Brown (8-2 overall, 4-0 Ivy) thoroughly dominated Dartmouth in the first period, blasting three goals past Big Green goalie Sarah Lenczner '97 in the first twenty minutes.
