Feeling neglected, Reform SA! group challenges Artzer

By Scott Anthony | October 8, 1993

Sometimes campaign promises don't work out exactly as planned and sometimes they don't work out at all. During Student Assembly elections last year, candidates capitalized on a surge of student dissatisfaction by promising an Assembly that would help the students rather than push personal political agendas. President Nicole Artzer '94 and a group of 15 Assembly members called Reform SA!

By Kristen King | October 8, 1993

The Gap, a national clothing chain, plans to open a store on Main Street next spring, according to the College and town business owners. The Gap will move into College-owned retail space next to the Hanover Inn, where Brewster's clothing store used to be. Paul Olsen, the College's real estate director, said The Gap and the College have signed a letter of intent, agreeing to "finalize all the details which would complete the deal." Main Street store owners said The Gap is expected in early May. Olsen said the clothing company has not set a Hanover opening date but added, "if they come I know it would be around that time." "We've talked and continue to talk with them," Olsen said.

The classified ad in the back of this newspaper read, "Male Models needed for Medical School Course." But do not expect to find ruggedly handsome men strolling runways in the latest surgery fashions. For $50 an hour, models are truly expected to devote their bodies -- at least for a few hours -- to science. "They are simulated patients in the Physical Diagnosis course so that second-year med.

Fraternities welcome members

By Siobhan Gorman | October 7, 1993

While some fraternities are reporting strong pledge classes after last week's rush activities, many houses have fewer new members this fall than last. Final statistics for this term's rush class are not yet available, but leaders of the College's Interfraternity Council said this year's pledge class is strong. Kenji Sugahara '95, rush chair for the IFC, said he was pleased with the rush results in general, but he said rush week was marred by the anti-Greek posters and slogans displayed around campus. "It's okay to try to change someone's mind, but there is a set standard to go by which shows respect for other people," Sugahara said. Alpha Delta fraternity was one of the houses that has a strong pledge class. Approximately 70 students attended the preliminary rush parties for AD.

Paley graces class with experience

By Maggie Fritz | October 7, 1993

Seeking to show a new generation of writers how to "light up the darkness" with their words, renowned poet and short story writer Grace Paley is teaching a senior seminar in poetry writing this term. Paley, the author of a collection of short stories called "Enormous Changes at the Last Minute" and numerous anthologies of poetry, teaches English 85, a workshop in which students read works in progress to Paley and the other members of the class, who then critique the writing. The class, Paley said, allows students to receive the practice and attention writers need to improve. "What people need if they're a writer is to write," Paley said.

Artzer: follow me

By Scott Anthony | October 6, 1993

At the second Student Assembly meeting of the term last night, president Nicole Artzer '94 lashed out at a temporary committee that voided many of her executive appointments. On Sunday, the committee on procedure said seven of Artzer's 10 appointments to the executive committee violated the Assembly's constitution because they were not official Assembly members. So now Artzer's executive committee can not fully function until the seven members go through the official process of joining the Assembly --which could take another two weeks. But Artzer told the Assembly last night that its primary concern should be helping the student body, not political infighting. "Let's think a little about why we are here," she said. She said she was happy that the student body was the main concern of the Assembly at-large and presidential candidates last year. "It thrilled me," she said.

No guarantees for education dept.

By Christopher Johnson | October 6, 1993

Administrators said yesterday they cannot guarantee that the education department will offer classes until 1997, exposing a rift between the department and the Dean of Faculty Office and confusing students who were told they could earn a certificate in education before they graduate. George Wolford, the assistant dean of faculty for the social sciences, called an announcement from the education department to the Class of 1997 "a premature communication." "There wasn't sufficient consultation between their department and our office," Wolford said. Wolford said students will be updated as soon as the College knows more about the department's future.

Clinton plan prescribes few changes for students

By Christopher Kao | October 6, 1993

Capitation. Gatekeepers. Health Alliances. The terminology of President Clinton's health care plan seems hostile and uninviting, but the plans' goals are simple -- universal access to primary health care for everyone -- even college students. Clinton's plan intends to change the way health care is provided and paid for and everyone at Dartmouth -- students, faculty, and employees will be affected. Worried about the rising costs of health care and the growing number of uninsured Americans, Clinton made reforming the health care system a major part of his campaign platform last year. The White House recently released the plan that First Lady Hillary Clinton and a team of experts have been working on since the President's inauguration last January. Although the plan is sure to be revised in upcoming battles with Congress, the original version offers a glimpse into the solution that Clinton has for the nations' health care problem and how that will affect Dartmouth students and employees. Clinton proposes to provide health insurance to all Americans by mandating that companies pay for employees' health insurance.

New student group teaches members to share education

By Michelle Fran | October 6, 1993

Students for Excellence in Education, a service support group formed last summer for students interested in education, met for the first time last week at Rockefeller Center. SEE's goal is to create an environment on campus where undergraduates can meet and share resources about education, said Lisa Hacken '95, SEE president. Kevin Lapin '95, a SEE member, said, "I think that a pre-professional group for the teaching profession is an essential first step in making teaching into the well-respected and renumerated profession it should be." The organization plans to make students aware of volunteer and community activities affiliated with the Tucker Foundation and local schools in the Upper Valley near Hanover. SEE will also offer many other services to its members.

Tour guides add personal touch

By Scott Burns | October 6, 1993

Prospective students will hear a different explanation of the College from their tour guide as they wind their way around campus this fall. The admissions office changed the tour script and added new training sessions, and is reducing the size of tour groups, which at peak times once numbered as many as 50 prospective students. The admissions office hopes the new system will limit tours to 10 to 15 prospective students and their parents. The changes are part of a new emphasis on giving individual attention to each prospective student.

Committee voids Artzer's selections

By Scott Anthony | October 5, 1993

A special Student Assembly committee voided many of president Nicole Artzer's '94 executive appointments last night, leaving the Assembly with a patch-work governing body for at least the next week. A temporary committee on procedure, formed Sunday night, said yesterday that seven of Artzer's 10 executive committee appointments were unconstitutional. The executive committee, made up of the president, the vice president, the secretary, the treasurer and the co-chairs of the Assembly's five committees, decides what issues the Assembly should discuss. Artzer said she will not make new appointments to the executive committee.

Psychiatrists at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center will offer free screening this week for students who think they suffer from clinical depression. Members of the psychiatry department at the medical school hope to raise awareness of mental illnesses, particularly depression, by offering the free screening as part of national Mental Illness Awareness Week, which began Monday. "While most everyone experiences low times when life seems drab and unrewarding, usually the short-term feelings do not keep us from functioning on a day-to-day level," said Dr. C.
