Everyone but Harvard celebrates spring

By Christopher Kao | May 13, 1993

Spring festivals are not unique to Dartmouth -- most colleges and universities around the country, and all of the Ivy League schools with the exception of Harvard, host some kind of spring celebration. The main feature of most of these traditional weekends is drinking and fraternity/sorority parties, but at many schools the weekend has become a lot more than just drinking. How does Green Key Weekend stack up against the spring festivities at other schools? Well, it is mild in comparison with Columbia's annual spring festival.

Japan-U.S. Relations are in transition

By Michael Beckley | May 12, 1993

Consul General of Japan Toshio Mochizuki described the current relationship between the United States and Japan and forecasted the path Japan will take in the future to a crowd of about 50 people last night. Mochizuki expressed concern that President Clinton's trade policies are beginning to reflect what he termed the "traditional Democratic party's inclination towards protectionist policies." He said the Japanese government is taking a more activist role in opening its markets by reducing customs duties and removing many unseen barriers to trade such as burdensome government regulations and weak enforcement of Japanese anti-trust law.

Dean awaits education department response

By Maggie Lockwood | May 12, 1993

Three weeks after an internal faculty review committee recommended the termination of the education department, the committee's report remains secret and the department continues to work on a response. But Professor Faith Dunne, the department chair, said the response may not come until Fall term. The report cited internal strife as one of several reasons for closing the department, according to administrators and professors who have seen the document which was submitted to Dean of Faculty James Wright. The Student Assembly has made repeated requests to see the report while students and faculty across campus can only speculate about the future of the College's teacher certification program. Wright said each member of the education department has a copy of the report and he is now awaiting a response. "I do not expect to hear from them before the end of the term," Wright said. According to Dunne the report will not be released until the department formulates a response.
