Food obsession pervasive among Dartmouth women

By Siobhan Gorman | February 22, 1994

Eating Disorders: The first in a three part series on women's health Fifteen percent of Dartmouth students suffer from eating disorders and 90 percent of these students are female, according to a 1991 survey by the College. The survey asked students if they were suffering from bulimia, anorexia, bulimarexia or compulsive overeating. But Marcia Herrin, coordinator of the College Nutrition Education Program, said she thinks this statistic is very low. "People often don't realize that they have eating disorders themselves," Herrin said on Sunday. Although for many women eating disorders begin before coming to Dartmouth, some fear that existing pressures and attitudes could cause a relapse. Barclay Stone '97 suffered from anorexia in high school.

Norwich's Jasper Murdock's brews its own beer

By Colin Grey | February 22, 1994

Students looking for a more refined beer drinking experience can now head to Jasper Murdock's Alehouse in Norwich, Vt., which serves home-brewed beer. Murdock's is located in the Norwich Inn and seats approximately 35 patrons in an English atmosphere, said Tim Wilson, who runs the pub. "It's a nice little fraternity of people who know good beer and enjoy good beer," Wilson said. For Wilson, who has been brewing beer as a hobby for five or six years, becoming the owner of a pub which brews its own beer was an easy transition. "Brewing is an awful lot of fun, and it took a very small investment to open a brewery in an existing restaurant," Wilson said. The pub already boasts regular customers, who can choose from a variety of beers from the pub's three taps every day.

ORL will display student art

By Michelle Francois | February 21, 1994

Through the financial support of the Class of 1960, the Office of Residential Life is working to simultaneously decorate the walls of residence halls and encourage aspiring studernt artists. The Class of 1960/Office of Residential Life Student Art Acquisition Program enables graduating seniors to receive professional recognition and a cash award for their best art pieces, which are displayed in College residence halls. Dean of Residential Life Mary Turco said she conceived the idea in 1991 to obtain students' artwork to display on the bare residence hall walls. Art reflects student life Turco and former Hood Museum Director James Cuno then established guidelines to implement Turco's idea. "I thought it would be a wonderful thing to put up work produced by Dartmouth undergraduates - that work is a reflection of student culture," Turco said.

Student groups seek College space

By Scott Anthony | February 21, 1994

Because of limited space on campus and a growing number of student groups, only a few organizations actually obtain the on-campus space they request. Several organizations, including Amarna, the College's newest undergraduate society, and Al-Nur, the Muslim student organization, are currently seeking area specifically set aside for their own purposes. "It's a pretty complex system because buildings are at such a premium," Assistant Dean of Residential Life Bud Beatty said. Student organizations start the request process by submitting a petition for space to the Dean of the College office.

N.H. House passes gay rights bill

By Colin Grey | February 18, 1994

The heavily Republican New Hampshire House passed a bill Tuesday prohibiting job and housing discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation by a 226-131 vote, despite strong objections from Governor Stephen Merrill. The bill extends the current anti-discrimination laws in New Hampshire to include sexual orientation. The current law already prohibits discrimination because of age, color, ethnic background, marital status, physical or mental disability, race and religious or political belief. Last month, Merrill said the gay and lesbian anti-discrimination bill was divisive and unnecessary.

Lazar says Europe divided by wealth

By Andrew Weinberg | February 18, 1994

Arpad von Lazar, professor of international politics at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, said it is more accurate to divide Europe into rich and poor, rather than east and west, in a lecture held Wednesday. More than 30 people attended von Lazar's lecture titled, "Aging Europe - Emerging Europe: Politics and Business in the Mid-Nineties" in the General Motors Amphitheater at the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration. Von Lazar spoke about the recent economic problems in Europe and the inherent complications Europe will face in searching for a solution to these problems. Although the speech dealt with complex economic and political issues, von Lazar injected humor and personal anecdotes into his lecture, eliciting many laughs and applause from the audience. "He says it in a way that makes it lively and interesting," said Penny Paquette, director of the International University of Japan program office.

Task force works to create new dormitory

By Timothy Fitzgibbons | February 18, 1994

A task force of six Dartmouth students is working to create a program within a residence hall that will focus on gender issues. Danielle Moore '95, one of six students on the task force, said the group hopes to organize a program that features speakers, films and discussions about women's, men's and inter-gender issues. Dean of Residential Life Mary Turco said she has talked with students on the task force and supports what they are doing. "I support the development of a structured program for addressing gender relations with student interest, including men's and women's views within the residence halls," Turco said. Turco said residency in the hall would be open to both men and women. "What we're looking for is something that is inclusive," Turco said.

Collis governing board reconvenes

By Amy Semet | February 18, 1994

The 21 students recently selected to serve on the Collis Governing Board will work with Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia to determine how to use the center's space. But unlike former governing boards, the new group will no longer be in charge of programming for the Collis Center, Sateia said. The Programming Board, which took over scheduling Collis events on other parts of the campus when the building was under construction, will continue to be responsible for programming, she said. Events like Friday Night Dance Club and performances at The Lone Pine Tavern fall under the responsibilities of the Programming Board, which is headed by Programming Coordinator Linda Kennedy. Kennedy's title was changed from Student Activities Coordinator to reflect her programming responsibilities. The Governing Board, which will focus more on Collis' space allocation policy, was revived this term when the center reopened after a year of construction. Members of the Governing Board will actively seek input from the campus community on the role the student center should play and how the building should be used, Sateia said. "I want the governing board to be able to get feedback from the community on ways to accommodate the building," Sateia said.

Panel discusses corporate morality

By David Sadoff | February 17, 1994

A finance professor, a business journalist, and two corporate executives debated whether corporations have a social responsibility to the public before more than 150 people in Cook Auditorium last night. "There is more to business than the petty jealousies, unbridled egos and ambition," said Richard Shreve, a professor at Amos Tuck School of Business Administration and moderator of the discussion. Sharon Cohen, Reebock's vice president of public affairs, said she believes it is corporate America's responsibility to look beyond profits and consider human rights. "At Reebok we're showing the world that going into business doesn't mean you have to check your values in at the door at 8 am and pick them up on the way out at 6," Cohen said.
