Homelessness protesters wind up in trouble with law

By Bridget Alex | November 22, 2004

For most protests to gain any sort of notoriety, protesters must break a few laws. At Thursday's protest against homelessness, students did just that. Not only did 10 students break state law by sleeping outside, these protestors also unintentionally violated the College's egress laws by setting up a band that obstructed a stairway. The protesters' stated goal, though, wasn't civil disobedience.

Maynard construction to begin soon

By Alex Belser | November 17, 2004

The beginning of the end of Dartmouth's housing crunch will kick off next week ,when construction workers barricade the large parking lot north of Maynard Street, Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman told the Student Assembly Tuesday night. Speaking at the Assembly's weekly meeting, Redman said the $66 million construction of two new residential complexes will take about two years and will add some 500 beds to Dartmouth's housing system. The plan will likely be bankrolled entirely by the College's new capital campaign, marking a departure from previous financing, which was based solely on rent fees, Redman said. Redman now estimates that the 342-bed McLaughlin residential cluster, which will take up the Maynard lot and be slightly larger than the East Wheelock cluster, will be done by fall 2006. The smaller 162-bed Tuck Mall building, to be built about 50 feet from the Butterfield and Russell Sage dorms, may lag slightly behind schedule until the winter of 2006, Redman estimated.
