Forum addresses gender inequality

By Katy O'Donnell | August 10, 2007

Ryan Yuk / The Dartmouth Staff A diverse crowd of nearly 200 students packed into the chapter room of Gamma Delta Chi fraternity both to listen to a panel of eight students talk about their experiences with gender issues at Dartmouth and to discuss those problems in a forum inspired by the campus-wide response to the harrassment of members of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority by members of Theta Delta Chi fraternity last week. Last Wednesday, as members of Kappa were about to enter Theta Delt, members of the fraternity allegedly called them "sluts," "whores" and "bitches" as they threw objects from various windows in the direction of the group waiting at the back entrance below.

Mixed expectations await Fieldstock

By Zach Swiss | August 7, 2007

Courtesy of Tess Reeder / The Dartmouth Staff With all hopes for a Tubestock resurrection this summer effectively dashed, the 2009 Class Council, Student Assembly and the Inter-Fraternity Council embraced Fieldstock, Tubestock's landlocked replacement, with the hope that the new festival weekend will become as popular as the late and lamented Tubestock. Annie Rittgers '09, 2009 Class Council president, said she hopes that this year's Fieldstock will serve as "a precedent as a party weekend on the level of Green Key" for future summers and that everyone has fun during the festivities. Rittgers said that the event's planners looked at this weekend as if it were the first Fieldstock weekend ever, since last year's event only included a chariot race, not the full Summer Olympics planned for this year.
