Speech examines Nazi role in state's industry

By Matt Lewis | July 17, 2003

Efforts on the part of Germany to remake public perception of German business corporations after the fall of the Third Reich were as much a matter of shrewd economic sense as they were of a sincere attempt to restore its integrity, Prof.

Music industry sues file pirates

By Nathaniel Ward | July 15, 2003

Students who share copyrighted music over the Internet and across College networks might face serious legal trouble if they continue to swap files. While in the past the Recording Industry Association of America has sued companies -- like the now-defunct Napster -- that provided the software and infrastructure for file sharing, it said on June 25 that it would look to take legal action against individuals who share music. And there may well be some teeth to the industry's threat.

Dartmouth GOP stages Collis rally

By Matt Lewis | July 11, 2003

Dartmouth loves America -- and American meat products, as was confirmed yesterday evening during a barbecue entitled "Dartmouth Loves America" on the Collis Center porch. The College Republicans and COSO staged the toast to America and its ideals to a transient crowd of mixed politics and hot dog preference -- beef, kosher, tofu and turkey. "The food didn't disagree with me, but the Republicans did," Katherine Norton '05 said. Midway through the barbecue James Baehr '05, secretary of the College Republicans, stepped up to the microphone to deliver the opening -- and what ultimately turned out to be the closing -- remarks. "This country is not great because of all its prosperity and material goods, it is great because of the spirit of decency and self sacrifice that is embodied in its people," Baehr said.

Cole decries civil war's atrocities

By Shaunak Mewada | July 9, 2003

In a speech yesterday afternoon, Sierra Leonean drug dealer-turned-pastor Richard Cole spoke of the elements necessary to rebuild a torn nation such as his own: "patriotism, reconciliation and compassion -- with a fear of God." A survivor of the horrors of a civil war that ravaged his tiny African nation and a participant in the complex process of rebuilding it from scratch, Cole described to the audience the atrocities that occurred, the most cruel and disturbing of which involved children.

SA, College discuss printing fees

By Nathaniel Ward | July 9, 2003

Despite the objections of some Student Assembly members, the College may start charging students who print as little as a few hundred pages per term to GreenPrint machines in the fall, Computing Services told Assembly members last night. According to Computing Services figures, over 30 percent of students printed more than 1,000 pages during Winter term, while 56 percent printed less than 250.

In slumping economy, students seek job aid

By Lisa Chau | July 9, 2003

A quiet murmur pervaded Collis Commonground yesterday, as students feeling the painful, real effects of an ongoing nationwide financial slump presented their resumes to Career Services counselors for review. The advice session was advertised as a response to the overwhelming demand for resume and cover letter assistance that Career Services has seen in recent weeks, the office's employees said, but for students, the reasons for this spike can be attributed to a different factor: a serious lack of jobs, for undergraduates in particular. Career Services Director Skip Sturman, on the other hand, linked the recent upsurge in resume help requests to current round of corporate recruiting. "Students are deadline-driven," Sturman said, noting that on-campus interviews scheduled with recruiters may have made some students aware that application deadlines for next year are fast approaching -- and that if they don't get a job soon, they might not get one at all. Indeed, the national unemployment level hit its highest level in nine years in May at 6.1 percent, and despite a slight upward turn in a formerly stagnant economy, the job market has not seen a similar improvement.

College removes long-distance fees

By Kaitlin Bell | July 7, 2003

That the College has decided to give students, faculty and staff free long-distance calling might seem paradoxical in a time of persistent budget worries, but a new system that does just this will save both Dartmouth and Dartmouth students money in the end, according to officials in Network Services. The new-sprung plan, which went into effect July 1, allows free long-distance service to all 50 U.S.

New organization to promote civil liberties

Given Dartmouth's presence in New Hampshire, long a bastion of conservative thinking and political individualism, it may not come as a surprise to many that Dartmouth was until last week one of the few Ivy League schools without a civil liberties organization. Last Tuesday, however, the Dartmouth Civil Liberties Union held its first meeting, with an attendance of 20 to 25 students.

College to revamp part of downtown

By Nathaniel Ward | July 3, 2003

The College on Tuesday submitted permit requests to the Town of Hanover for its proposed redevelopment of the so-called "South Block" that could reshape the southern edge of downtown. The College-owned parcel -- bounded by South Main Street on the west, Currier Street on the east, East South Street on the north and Dorrance Place on the south -- is presently home to several businesses and a mix of student and family housing. Ultimately, the block will be molded into a series of buildings with small park-like areas between them.

Elms succumb to chronic disease

By Nathaniel Ward | July 1, 2003

The College on Friday removed two diseased American elm trees -- one on the Green near the flag poles and one on Tuck Mall in front of Streeter Hall -- and trimmed one in front of Baker Library to contain the spread of Dutch Elm Disease. By removing the infected trees promptly, Facilities, Operations and Management hopes to prevent cross-contamination of nearby healthy trees by the highly contagious disease, grounds supervisor Bob Thebodo said yesterday. Similarly, infection of disease-free portions of trees can be prevented by removing the affected portions. But not all cases of Dutch Elm Disease can be stopped this way, Thebodo said, since root grafting -- where the roots of neighboring trees grow into each other, spreading the infection -- is hard to control. As the situation warrants it, removed trees will be replaced with disease-resistant elms.
