Consent Day attracts crowd with tees

Courtesy of Brian Bowden Amidst a sea of brown t-shirts sporting the perennial catchphrase "Consensual Sex is Hot" in bold face and green letters, Dartmouth's Sexual Abuse Peer Advisors hosted the fifth annual Consent Day this past Friday afternoon on Massachusetts Row. Organizers used the popularity of the t-shirt to help promote the ideals of Consent Day -- students received shirts only after signing a short pledge about consent. "The pledge is a commitment that people are making to get consent to sexual activities as well as to educate people about the shirt," Leah Prescott, Sexual Abuse Awareness Program coordinator said. Much more than an apparel giveaway, Consent Day featured a number of performance groups including the Summerphonics, Dog Day Players and Soul Scribes. Booths set up from a variety of campus groups from the Native Americans at Dartmouth, to the AIDS Workcrew, to representatives from Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Associated Press Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama (D-Ill.)focused on restoring integrity to American government and managing the ailing healthcare system in a panel discussion with Upper Valley residents at Jesse's Restaurant in Hanover on Monday. To begin the event, Obama delivered a short speech in which he emphasized what he believes to be the alienation that many Americans feel from the federal government. "Across the board, people feel that their voices are not being heard in Washington," he said. Obama took issue with the lobbyist culture of Congress and the White House and attacked the Bush administration for incompetence and cronyism.

Forum addresses gender inequality

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.
