Carnival poster to go on sale this week

By Colin Grey | January 31, 1994

The 1994 Winter Carnival Committee will award David Stack '96 $100 today for his winning poster that features a jovial jester character cracking through a dreary College campus to reveal a colorful Baker Library. "We felt the contrast was very nice and that it was what we wanted," said Tammy Busch '95, co-chair of the Winter Carnival Council. Stack has been drawing cartoons since childhood but has not done any other artwork at the College. "I kind of didn't like the poster from last year and thought I could do better," Stack said. Last year's design featured a snowman wearing sunglasses posing with a surfboard on a snow-covered island.

Colleges opposes speech law

By Christopher Kao | January 27, 1994

The College is opposing a proposed New Hampshire law that would prevent colleges and universities from enforcing speech codes on students and professors. "It's a totally unnecessary attempt to interfere with the operations of Dartmouth College," College Counsel Cary Clark said. Senate Bill 623, supported by both Republican and Democratic state senators, seeks to protect freedom of speech on college campuses and could come to a vote within the next month. The bill raises questions about whether speech should be regulated on campuses, and if so, who should have the authority to control speech. Dartmouth currently does not have an official speech code for students, professors, administrators or its other employees. Clark said the bill would create additional unwanted regulations and would result in increased litigation and legal costs for all New Hampshire colleges. Ann McLane Kuster '78, an attorney and lobbyist hired by Dartmouth, said, "Senate Bill 623 invites every student, professor, teacher, administrator and employee to litigate in federal court." "If approved, Senate Bill 623 will become a full employment act for lawyers, ultimately increasing the expense of higher education for all New Hampshire students," Kuster said. The bill was proposed after J.

Greek leaders act

By Amanda A. Amann | January 26, 1994

The heads of the four major governing bodies of the College's Greek System and a representative of the co-ed houses announced yesterday their intentions to form a committee to investigate the Greek system's role at the College. The formation of the Greek Life Evaluation Committee comes in response to recent reports by the Committee on Diversity and Community at Dartmouth and the Sexual Assault/Sexual Harassment committee that call for a complete review of the Greek system. Chris Donley '95, president of the Co-ed, Fraternity and Sorority Council, organized the group to address the relationship between the Greek system and intellectualism, diversity, gender relations, race relations, sexual orientation and alcohol abuse. The other students who suggested the Greek Life committee are Hosea Harvey '95, president of the National Pan Hellenic Council; Interfraternity Council President Scott Swenson '95; Panhellenic Council president Lissa Trumbull '95; and Liz Shor '95, a representative from the co-ed houses. The issues the students said they would focus on were all listed as topics of concern expressed in the CDCD report, which was presented to College President James Freedman earlier this month. The report recommended that the College immediately undertake an investigation of the CFS system. Harvey, who heads the self-governing body of the College's historically black Greek organizations, and a member of the new committee, said its aim is to start an independent investigation of the issues rather than to wait for the administration to dictate its solutions. "What I want to see done is a report saying here is where we fail, here are ten things we can do, and then take that back to the different sub-councils and organizations," Harvey said. The students who released the statement will be on the Greek Life Evaluation Committee but Donley said they are still unsure about the rest of its composition. "I do not have to join a committee to see that there is sexism in fraternities," Shor said.
