Students weigh their options for season ski-slope passes

By Mat Grudzien | December 4, 2007

Lauren Wool / The Dartmouth Senior Staff The first snow of the season has fallen, and as the merry snowball-fighting sons and daughters of Dartmouth start their winter-long shuffles across the frozen campus, at least one cohort of students may be able to preserve their high spirits as the temperatures plunge: Those who take to the mountains on skis and snowboards. Skis and snowboards do not grow on trees, however.

Gender-neutral housing deemed success by ORL

By Andrew Wells | November 30, 2007

As the first-ever term of gender-neutral housing at Dartmouth comes to a close, the Office of Residential Life has begun to look back at its newly instituted gender-neutral housing program floor and, based on positive feedback, does not foresee a need to make any significant changes in the coming terms. Out of the 32 students who applied for this special housing, 16 students and one undergraduate advisor were eventually chosen because they showed an active interest in participating in the model of a shared community which would hold programs and dinners focused on discussing gender-related issues. Assistant Dean of Student Life and advisor to Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender students Pam Misener has taken the position as lead advisor for the students living on the floor, and attends the floor's weekly Sunday dinners. "We really wanted the residents to have a chance to be engaged in the decisions about how we would organize ourselves, so it took a little longer to really hit a rhythm," Misener said.
