Senior administrators blast Bush cuts

By Mark Henle | April 13, 2005

Dartmouth administrators sharply criticized a decision by the Bush administration's Office of Management and Budget to eliminate the Upward Bound and Talent Search education programs from its 2006 spending plan. The OMB, the President's office in charge of overseeing the federal budget, decided to halt funding for the two programs in favor of funneling the money to other educational programs. "The proposed cuts in these programs seem to be a really bad idea to us," Dean of Admissions Karl Furstenberg said.

Student candidates prep for start of campaigning

By Elise Waxenberg | April 8, 2005

Sidewalk chalk, mass BlitzMail messages and fluorescent posters will blanket the campus this weekend, when official campaigning for student elections kicks off on Saturday at midnight. Voting will take place April 19 and 20, but for Student Body Presidential hopefuls, campaign managers have been signed on and maneuvering has been in full swing for months. "They're probably all getting really nervous first of all, mainly about the increasing time commitment that they're going to have to dedicate to prepare their campaigns," current Student Body President Julia Hildreth '05 said. Hildreth said that the candidates are probably strategizing with their teams, deciding how to spend their money and networking with potential supporters. "Forming a good campaign team and talking to people is one of the main strategies at this point because actual public campaigning hasn't started," candidate Ben Waters '06 said. Pre-campaigning has included "just going around, introducing yourself to as many people as possible, being places, being out," Waters said.

Expert lectures on dangers of hazing

By Samantha Ackah | April 8, 2005

Greeks packed into Cook Auditorium Thursday night for a talk on the societal problems of hazing. Hank Nuwer, an author of four books on hazing and a nationally recognized expert in the field gave the hour-long talk as part of his three-day visit to the College. Nuwer who also teaches journalism at Franklin College began writing about hazing following a death at the University of Nevada, Reno where he was a graduate student in 1975. During the talk he encouraged students to intercede when they witness incidents of hazing. "If you could have saved a human being's life and you didn't... its hard to get out of your mind," Nuwer said. Nuwer recounted hazing incidents going as far back as the 1800s and discussed several tragedies resulting from hazing, including sexual assault and deaths from alcohol intoxication. In the years since 1975 there has been a death every year in the national Greek system and Nuwer was pessimistic about the chances of averting further tragedies unless students worked harder to avoid it. "I don't believe in my lifetime that we will be able to end the deaths," he said Although the talk was targeted toward members of fraternities and sororities, Nuwer emphasized that hazing was not unique to the Greek system and discussed athletic hazing as well as incidents in high schools. "I argue with administrations [about] the idea of hazing being a Greek problem.

COSO recognizes new student groups for funding

By Jennifer Garfinkel | April 7, 2005

The start of Spring term is also a fresh beginning for several new student groups on campus. The College recognized several new organizations at the end of Winter term, and now, with funding from the Council On Student Organization, the club leaders are preparing to increase awareness about everything from malnutrition to grassroots politics to Taiwanese culture. In response to the 2004 presidential election, several students spearheaded the creation of Dartmouth For Democracy, a self-described non-partisan group designed to train students interested in gaining necessary skills to run grassroots campaigns. Dartmouth for Democracy claims it will support any candidate on the national, local, or college level who is "socially progressive and fiscally responsible," said co-founder Sarah Ayres '06. "So that could potentially be Democrats or Republicans.
