Students confront housing shortage

By Michelle Mooradian | August 17, 1993

With little more than a month to go before the beginning of Fall term, many upperclassmen are finding themselves without College housing and slim chances of acquiring it before registration. Three hundred students who applied for Fall term housing on time during Spring term were wait-listed in May when the Office of Residential Life determined there were not enough beds to house them. Since the deadline, an additional 85 students have applied for College housing and have been put on the "late-list." Two weeks ago ORL sent the bottom 150 wait-listed students and the 85 students on the late-list letters outlining their chances of receiving College housing for Fall term. ORL told the wait-listed students that as of now, only the students on the top half of the list should count on receiving housing.

Women spy voyeur

By Yvonne Chiu | August 13, 1993

Hanover Police are investigating reports from three women that a male Dartmouth student has been peeping into their windows during the early morning hours over the past several days. Safety and Security officers stopped and questioned the male suspect early Wednesday but released him because "there was no direct evidence that he was a peeping Tom, so to speak," said Seargent Mark Lancaster of Safety and Security. Safety and Security and the Hanover Police will not release the suspect's name because he is "not guilty of anything yet," Lancaster said.

Greeks clash, compromise on rape awareness funding

By Dawn Conner | August 13, 1993

Raising questions about the organization of Greeks Against Rape and the feasibility of fulfilling its request for monetary contributions from individual houses, the Interfraternity Council refused the group's solicition and instead donated a sum almost five times less than the amount the group originally wanted. In need of money to pay for programming and outstanding debts, Greeks Against Rape, an organization begun to educate Greek pledges about rape and sexual assault, asked each Greek house to donate $50 to the group, Greeks Against Rape President Michelle Wendy '95 said. Alhough the Panhellenic Council, the governing body of all sororities on campus, originally approved the plan, the IFC, comprised of the 14 fraternities decided only to donate $125 total, a figure which Panhell ultimately matched. The IFC refused the request based on several questions about the solicitation, including how the money would be used and why the fundraising was being held in the summer as opposed to the fall, when smaller houses would have more members on to support the cost, according to Wendy. "[Greeks Against Rape] came to us and asked us for money with no real proposal," IFC Social Chair Chris Donley '95 said.

Many students ignore fire safety warnings

By Steve Hoffman | August 13, 1993

Despite warnings and inspections, many students ignore the College's fire safety regulations and use prohibited electrical equipment in their rooms. The Office of Residential Life inspects Greek houses once a term to make sure fire safety equipment is operational and that the house is in compliance with College regulations. Although the College prohibits cooking appliances, extension cords and multiple-plug units without surge protectors and requires that hallways be clear of debris, a spot-check by The Dartmouth yesterday of seven Greek houses revealed open violations in five of the buildings. Fire safety violations were also found in seven out of 20 dormitory rooms checked yesterday in the Gold Coast and Massachusetts dormitory clusters.

Medieval Club jousts into past

By Michelle Mooradian | August 13, 1993

Last weekend a group of eight students managed to break free from reality's tight grasp, leaving Hanover and the perils of modern life at Dartmouth behind them. They escaped back into medieval times, re-enacting an old society marked by wild, chaotic wars in which a king assumed all powers over his domain. These students are members of the Medieval Enthusiasts at Dartmouth, one of the newest clubs at the College, whose purpose is to create a focus and framework for the study and enjoyment of medieval history and culture. The medieval re-enactment held last weekend at a Dartmouth Outing Club cabin was the group's first official event.
