Prouty raises $700,000 for cancer

By Katherine Butler | July 12, 2005

This past Saturday, some 2,000 bike riders and walkers, alongside 220 volunteers, braved the rain and raised over $700,000 for cancer research at the 24th annual Prouty Fitness Bike Ride and Fitness Walk. "The Prouty" is the signature fund-raising event of the Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center, a philanthropic group that raises money, sponsors community events and provides patient services in an effort to find a cure for cancer. The walk is dedicated in honor of Audrey Prouty, a former patient who died from cancer over two decades ago. "Her nurses admired her courage and the way she approached the disease," Michelle Manning, program coordinator for the Friends said in an interview with The Dartmouth. The benefit dates back to 1981, when four nurses biked 100 miles and raised $4,000 for cancer research. "The event has grown quite a bit since then," Manning said. While the majority of participants hail from New Hampshire and Vermont, some groups came to the event from as far as New York City and Chicago.

SEAD offers new opportunities

By Linzi Sheldon | July 7, 2005

This summer, Dartmouth's SEAD program is launching its fifth successful year in matching up high school students with college mentors -- and providing those students with a support system for the future. The annual Summer Enrichment At Dartmouth program offers a unique experience for underprivileged high school students to spend three weeks on campus and forge both social ties and academic skills. "What we are doing is giving them some more tools," Tucker Foundation Dean Stuart Lord said in 2001, SEAD's inaugural year. This year, 25 high school students are in attendance from July 2 to 23.

Government professor advises Sudanese on democracy

By Mark Henle | July 5, 2005

While most professors were spending the first week of May in their classrooms, government professor John Carey embarked on a different kind of teaching mission, instructing members of the recently victorious Sudan People's Liberation Movement how to establish an autonomous democratic legislature. After 20 years of fighting, the Sudanese government has ceded roughly one-third of Africa's largest country to the SPLM, leaving the guerilla army with the arduous task of converting its leadership council into the viable regional government stipulated under the peace agreement. Carey joined two other political scientists, one from South Africa and another from Nigeria, to put on the five-day workshop organized by the International Republican Institute, a group dedicated to "advancing democracy, freedom, self-government and the rule of law worldwide." According to Carey, the workshop had the same tenor as a Dartmouth classroom. "It was kind of like a classroom except these guys were even more attentive than Dartmouth students because they have a lot more at stake," Carey said. While Carey said he believes that the members of the SPLM are committed to developing some form of representative government, he is not overly optimistic about their chances of doing so in the near term. "The challenges that these guys face are so overwhelming," Carey said.

Students adopt five children, remain abroad

By Jacques P. Hebert | June 30, 2005

When she decided to participate in a service trip to Central America during her junior summer, Annabel Raebeck '04 could never have imagined she would become the parent of five foster children. It was while working at a family care center in Honduras that she and fellow Dartmouth student Katie Harrison '04 took it upon themselves to adopt five neglected Honduran children, whom they cared for until May 2005 after graduating from the College. According to Raebeck, Harrison learned of the opportunity through the Dartmouth chapter of the Navigators Christian group, which sends Dartmouth students to serve at a family care center in Flor del Campo, a slum on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

Students explore alternative housing

By Alix Cody | June 28, 2005

For members of the Class of 2007 accustomed to strolling down Webster Avenue only to face a tedious walk back to their guarded dormitory halls, the summer has introduced a more comfortable alternative. Among the more prominent characteristics of the Summer term is the increased number of sophomore living in coed, fraternity, sorority or off-campus housing for the first time, since upperclassmen have vacated their seasonal homes. These new residential options often include larger living spaces, wider beds and fully-furbished rooms.

Barreca '79 delivers first summer address

By Jessica Chen | June 28, 2005

In the much-touted inaugural opening address of sophomore summer, Gina Barreca '79 captivated an audience of about 200 students, who greeted her with smiles, laughter and applause. Both humorous and satirical throughout, Barreca pointed out the difficulties of budding feminism at a very male college, noting that when she arrived on campus in September 1975, Dartmouth was "not exactly a bastion of diversity." A noted feminist, Barreca pointed out that she was speaking on the topic not because it was her expertise, but because the admission of women to Dartmouth was the reason for the creation of sophomore summer, mocking the Board of Trustees for its gradual introduction of females into a previously all-male campus. According to Tucker Foundation Dean Stuart Lord, who organized the event, Barreca was chosen as an individual who would speak to students through common Dartmouth experiences. "We could have gone with a national speaker or an alum," Lord said.
