By Kevin Garland | November 12, 2003

Address takes on 'ethnic clumping'

By Vivian Chung | November 11, 2003

The address, entitled "Why should I say 'Hi' to you?" tackled these issues from the perspectives of both the "perceivers" and the "participants." An audience of approximately 150 students came out to listen. Richeson spoke about the inaccuracy of generalizations, saying that there are basic categories such as age, sex and race which are often "activated automatically." According to Richeson, people can't help this behavior, because they usually categorize others at first glance.

Virus strikes campus computer network

By Zachary Goldstein | November 7, 2003

A virus is plaguing the Dartmouth campus, but this time it's not pink eye.

In response, Director of Computing Larry Levine sent out a campus-wide BlitzMail yesterday instructing students of the steps necessary to diagnose and, if necessary, treat their computers for the virus.
