The Choice is Clear

By Ralph Davies | May 3, 2004

This campaign has certainly been a heated process. Each of the candidates has fired back and forth at one another about platforms and past records. Amidst the debate, the question still remains unclear who would accomplish the goals that really matter on campus. One important quality is the ability to follow through on plans and actually make things happen. This winter, I took charge of the Student Organizations Committee, and I am so proud of the things that we accomplished.

DDS worker's firing fails to inspire boycott success

By Anna Parachkevova | May 3, 2004

The firing on Tuesday of much-liked Dining Services employee Mitzi Nalette prompted a wave of protest from outraged students, but a student boycott of Food Court planned for Friday nonetheless failed to take place. BlitzMail messages circulating widely among students Tuesday night had called for a mass boycott and accompanying protest to show support for Nalette, a well-known figure at Food Court whom many students had befriended.

It's Time for Change

By Dave Wolkoff | May 3, 2004

Student Assembly has become defunct. Students have lost interest in the BBQs and T-shirt giveaways that SA has engineered to deal with serious campus issues. A loss of legitimacy due to ineffective solutions has left the Student Assembly unable to effectively bargain with the administration.

Theta Delt dispute draws police

By Matthew Kelly | May 3, 2004

An altercation broke out at Theta Delta Chi fraternity early Sunday morning, ending in a coincidental arrest of a Dartmouth student by the Hanover Police department. Some involved called the incident merely a misunderstanding, while others at the scene termed the incident a fight. In the midst of a 1980s-themed dance party, a scuffle broke out between Mario Avila '04 and a hired bouncer from Boston, according to partygoers who witnessed the scene. According to sources at the scene, Avila was asked by the bouncer to wait at the door while Safety and Security performed a walk-through.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

By Julia Hildreth | May 3, 2004

This year's Assembly Presidential campaign has been more intense than any I have witnessed at Dartmouth. With three determined candidates from within the Assembly, a vocal outsider, and a "Novack Party" representative, it looks as though this may come down to the very last vote.

Take Back Dartmouth

By Karan Danthi | May 3, 2004

Back in 1997, the Assembly passed a resolution requesting that the administration give Dartmouth students the right to vote in the election of new members of the Board of Trustees. Expecting no immediate change, the Assembly thought it possible that students would be able to join the committees that search for and nominate potential trustees.

Spring sees rise in counseling demand

By Alix Cody | April 30, 2004

The long winter and its potential to bring seasonal depression may be over, but more students will seek psychological counseling this spring than did in the winter or fall, if past trends continue to hold true. Dr. Mark Reed, director of Counseling Services at Dick's House, theorized that spring was the busiest time for counseling due to its transitional nature -- seniors are graduating, juniors begin thinking about graduate school or their careers, sophomores are looking forward to off-terms, and freshmen are finishing their first year. In the fall, he said, students are excited for the beginning of the year, and believe their problems will disappear with the excitement.

Biotech head stresses CEO responsibility

By Jessica Chen | April 30, 2004

Kevin Sharer, president and CEO of Amgen, the world's largest biotechnology firm, spoke at the College Thursday on how to succeed in his position, much-maligned in the wake of recent corporate scandals. He emphasized the importance of responsibility in his position -- to ensure that the company stays committed to its mission and its values -- but noted that many CEOs fail to learn that responsibility until they assume their position at the top of their company. "Something's wrong in the world of big business," he said, referring to the recent scandals involving large corporations such as Enron and WorldCom.

Dealings with S&S a routine part of running Greek houses

By Kate Lyon | April 30, 2004

Safety and Security's fleet of silver and forest-green vans are a familiar sight on campus, but few know that for much of the Greek system, dealings with the campus police force are a routine part of keeping their houses up and running -- and complying with College regulations. The closest most of the student body comes to Safety and Security are event checks, also known as walk-throughs, at registered parties on campus. Though the officers, accompanied by student alcohol monitors, verify that kegs have their keg tags and that an event registered for kegs has no other sources of alcohol, the primary goal of event checks is safety.

Candidates face off at fiery public debate

By Lizzie Wise | April 30, 2004

The Student Assembly presidential candidates sweated through their only public debate Thursday evening -- as a result of the atypically hot temperature of Collis Common Ground and the heated questions they fired back and forth at each other. Rather than merely enumerating their campaign platforms, presidential candidates did their best not to evade pointed questions, which came from opponents, moderators and audience members.

Low-wage staff worry about job security

By Anna Parachkevova | April 29, 2004

More than a year after budget cuts were first announced to the Dartmouth community, College employees continue to worry about losing their jobs, despite statements from the administration that refute any such plans. In a recent interview, College Provost Barry Scherr gave an optimistic account of Dartmouth's financial situation, in light of a two-year plan to "bring budget overall within balance." Putting this year into perspective, Scherr said that when compared to last year, the College has made only "modest budget adjustments." These adjustments have included reorganization in various departments around campus.

Students work to save fired DDS worker

By Anna Parachkevova | April 29, 2004

The unexpected firing of much-liked Dartmouth Dining Services employee Mitzi Nalette Tuesday night sparked a flurry of student e-mails protesting her dismissal and seeking to get her job back. Nalette learned she had lost her job at Food Court when Dartmouth Dining Services director David Newlove called her to his office a half-hour after the start of her regular Tuesday evening shift to officially notify her of the decision, she said in a phone interview with The Dartmouth. According to Nalette, the reason for her release, a decision made by the College's Human Resources Office, was her poor attendance record. Newlove said he was not allowed to divulge any information about personnel because of legal obligations and confidentiality constraints.
