RIAA continues barrage of lawsuits

After months of covert downloading and mounting obstacles to free file-sharing, millions of online music lovers -- a large portion of the nation's college population included -- have been given yet another scare. The Recording Industry Association of America filed 89 lawsuits against students suspected of illegal file-sharing at New York University, Stanford University, the University of California-Berkeley, Georgetown University, the University of Michigan, Vanderbilt and 16 other colleges. The lawsuits against college students were part of a larger round of 532 lawsuits. The RIAA used the "John Doe" litigation process to sue defendants whose names are not known.

The Interfraternity Council hopes that this spring's numbers will meet or exceed last year's, and IFC President David Grey '05 predicted the winter's low numbers of sunk bids will mean increased rush classes this term.

SA chairs outline Spring term projects

|

Student Assembly committee chairs outlined their plans for new student services this term, including an enlarged fitness center and a redecorated Novack caf, at last night's meeting. Having convened with Dan Reicher '78, former assistant energy secretary under President Clinton, and student ECO representatives to discuss using renewable energy sources at Dartmouth, Student Assembly President Janos Marton '04 introduced the possibility of such a plan at last night's Assembly meeting. Renewable energy, such as solar or hydraulic energy, serves as an alternative as to fossil fuels, which are in limited supply. Marton and Jonathan Petkun '07, Dartmouth's representative to the College Climate Response, are looking into The College's existing energy practices and would like to implement a renewable energy plan that would be expensive to implement but would save money in the long run, Marton said.

B-ball writer applies for coaching spot

|

The Dartmouth men's basketball team has been ripe for ground-breaking change since former Coach David Faucher resigned midway through a 3-25 season this year. Phil Wallace, a 22 year old senior at Columbia University and the men's basketball reporter for the Columbia Spectator, thinks that he may be the solution to Dartmouth's recent spell of losing seasons. Wallace is one of approximately 100 applicants vying to lead the Program that ranked 324 in a field of 326 Division I teams this season, according to the College Basketball Ratings Percentage Index. Nicholls State of the Southland Conference and Arkansas Pine Bluff of the Southwestern Athletic Conference, ranked 325 and 326 respectively, were the only two men's basketball teams to trail Dartmouth, according to the index. Although optimistic, Wallace admitted he is an unlikely candidate for the job because of his young age and inexperience in coaching. Dartmouth "should seriously consider me, though I think the odds are that Dartmouth will go with a conventional hire," Wallace said. The men's basketball coach search committee is currently narrowing down its list of applicants, College Athletic Director Josie Harper said.

Dartmouth's sculptures provoke intense reactions, debate

|

After more than two centuries alone in the New Hampshire wilderness, more than probably any other Ivy League campus, Dartmouth is referred to by nostalgic alumni as a "special place." Hanover and the surrounding areas have grown over the years, but unlike the experience of a campus in major urban areas, the town plays a minor supporting role in the campus experience. Many alumni feel so strongly about the physical space of the Dartmouth campus, that what at other schools would be considered relatively minor changes to the landscape are suddenly very controversial. Not even a sculpture of College founder Eleazor Wheelock himself enjoys a place on campus.
