UFC finalizes next year's allocation decisions

By Zachary Goldstein | May 28, 2004

The Undergraduate Finance Committee finalized decisions Thursday on where it would allocate its $755,000 budget for fiscal year 2004-05, beginning June 30. Of the seven organizations receiving money, six were given a larger sum than last year, with Programming Board receiving the largest share at $366,000 and Student Assembly receiving the largest increase, up $20,000 from last year. Student Body President Janos Marton '04, who chairs the UFC as a nonvoting member, attributed the Assembly's increase to $80,000 next year primarily to the popular College Readership Program instituted this year to provide free newspapers to students.

Celebrated author takes on new view toward liberalism

By Kevin Garland | May 27, 2004

The U.S. political system has been steeped in religion since its original roots in Puritan traditions, according to James Morone in a lecture about his book "Hellfire Nation" at the Rockefeller Center Wednesday afternoon. Morone, a professor at Brown University, first discussed two views of American society and the nation's political system -- one a perspective of liberalism and the other a community structure-based approach. Morone said both perspectives seemed incomplete to him, and added that he instead created his own ideology about American society and politics.

Campus Cupid creators to launch website for grads to access

By Kate Mulley | May 26, 2004

Four months after Campus Cupid's launch promised students a new means of finding love at Dartmouth, the dating service has a new website in the works. While the timing of the website leaves graduating seniors without an opportunity to take advantage of its services while on campus, the creators hope it will spark a new interest in the dating service, which has competed for interest with another recent online match-up site, thefacebook.com. The website is not yet up and running, but creators Jessica Ward '04 and Lisa Volpe '04 said underclassmen have expressed interest in continuing in Campus Cupid after graduation. Still, the website begs the question of whether or not students will embrace a service that many doubted in the first place. Kate Davison '07 sent in a profile for the first round but didn't actually choose any profiles from the ones she was sent. "I wasn't sure if people were taking it seriously and writing genuine self-descriptions," Davison said. Jess Blanch '05 was not on campus for Winter term but said her perception of Campus Cupid was that people did not take it very seriously.

The Blend, Topside attract student workers at DDS

By Anna Parachkevova | May 25, 2004

Editor's note: This is the third in a multi-part series on employment conditions for students at the College. Thayer Dining Hall, home to several campus dining facilities, is a place for those looking to make money as well as for those looking to spend it. The Blend and Topside convenience store are two of the most popular spots for student customers, as well as for a disproportionately high number of student employees who choose to work there. The unequal distribution of student employees within Dartmouth Dining Services stems from student preferences for less work-intensive jobs rather than a product of DDS efforts to match the nature of the work with students' qualifications, employees said. "They pick that because there is less to do there," full-time DDS employee Joska Reid said.
