New course features prison trips

By Lia Grigg | November 15, 2007

Dartmouth students used to making the daily walk from Reed Hall to Dartmouth Hall for class now have a longer trek to negotiate when they travel to the Southeast State Correctional Facility in Windsor, Vt., for the new course "Inside Out: Prison, Women and Performance." The course stems from a community service project founded by Pati Hernandez in 2005, in which students helped women inmates write and act in plays based on the inmates' own experiences. "The women were amazingly articulate about where their lives got off -track and the social factors that led them to be where they are," Caroline Roth '08, a volunteer last year, said.

Administrative Assistant to DCAL Diane Chamberlain, brought the idea to a team meeting after hearing about Heifer International from her daughter, who had listed the charity on her wedding gift registry. "I have a work-studies student who is international and hearing her stories versus how much our community has, made me want to be a philanthropist," Chamberlain said.

Edwards continues local campaign

November 14, 2007

Jessica Griffen / The Dartmouth Staff Medical students, doctors and health care workers gathered at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center on Tuesday to hear Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards speak on current and future policy issues facing the medical community. The event, which featured a short opening speech by Edwards and a detailed question-and-answer session, focused mainly on Edwards' plan to address American's lack of access to affordable, effective healthcare. "We have a dysfunctional healthcare system in America," Edwards said, citing the large number of uninsured Americans and the rising costs of treatment as indicators of the ineffectiveness of the current structure. Chief among Edwards's proposals was the institution of a more competitive system for health insurance, designed to combat rising insurance premiums and the shrinking number of conditions covered. "What I have proposed is basically the creation of healthcare markets," Edwards said.
