Diversity proponents and Jewish group honor former Dartmouth president James Freedman

By Tara Kyle | January 5, 2004

NEW YORK -- Former Dartmouth president James O. Freedman urged the nation to continue promoting diversity in higher education at an American Jewish Committee tribute to the 68-year-old academic. Accepting the AJC National Distinguished Leadership Award, Freedman said that without strong diversity programs, Americans will "fail to meet our own aspirations" as a society. A packed crowd of AJC members and Freedman's colleagues in academia lauded him at the event, held in December inside Manhattan's Plaza Hotel. AJC President Harold Tanner praised Freedman for possessing both humility and humanity.

By Colin Barry | January 5, 2004

Undergraduate leaders joined a coalition of alumni opposed to the constitutional alteration before the vote, urging that the amendment "be tabled or voted down" in BlitzMail messages addressed to current students and recent graduates.

Hanover beef sales steady amid mad cow scare

By Zachary Goldstein | January 5, 2004

Dartmouth students and Hanover residents show little concern about the recent discovery of mad cow disease in the United States, as managers of local eateries report no drop-off in sales of beef and steak products. Molly's on South Main Street has continued to sell just as many burgers and steaks as it did before evidence of infected cattle in Washington state surfaced, according to General Manager Tom Crutis. "We haven't seen any drop-off yet," Crutis said, "and I wouldn't expect to see one unless we start hearing about more outbreaks or about more local outbreaks." "The fact that all the diseased cows have been found out West is a big advantage," Crutis said. Toby Fried, owner and manager of Lou's, said that he had expected burger sales to decrease and for customers to be more hesitant about ordering beef, but it "has not been an issue as of yet." It is too early in the term for Dartmouth Dining Services to determine whether news of the disease has affected the sale of beef products in dining halls across campus.

Student group fights hunger, the status quo

By Richard Lazarus | November 25, 2003

A Dartmouth student-run gleaning program that prepared 1350 meals for local needy families is trying to change the way local non-profits and Dartmouth volunteer programs fight hunger in the Upper Valley. The program began with a seemingly simple concept: take the food that farmers don't harvest for commercial purposes, gather it with student volunteers, cook it into nutritious meals and donate it to local food shelves where it would be available for local families. In the Upper Valley and other rural areas, hunger usually is not an issue of whether people get enough calories in their diet, but whether that diet is nutritious and healthy.

Swim Team: Men top Brown, UVM, Navy

By Steven Orbuch | November 24, 2003

"We have been unable to stay competitive in swimming, and believe that success could not be attained without a significant infusion of new resources." The College released this comment in a press release almost a year ago to the day in order to justify the abrupt cancellation of the Dartmouth Aquatics programs. This past weekend, the Dartmouth men's swimming team showed that it is not only alive and well, but a bold player among its Ivy League peers this season. Perhaps it's poetic justice, but during its only home stand of this season, the men's swimming team entered uncharted positive territory, defeating both Brown and Navy on Saturday. Double-dual meets, like the meet held on Saturday, have been scheduled at Dartmouth since the early 1980s. However, this weekend marked the first time in school history that the Big Green men swept both opponents in an Eastern Intercollegiate Swim League meet. It was also the first time since 1996 that the Dartmouth men can claim two EISL victories in a season. According to swimmer Chris Mudd '06, Brown and Navy underestimated their Dartmouth competition. "Last year, they both beat us pretty badly," Mudd said.

Funding issues create friction between rugby teams

By Laura Glickman | November 21, 2003

As a rugby player, Sheila Hicks '04 feels a bond with rugby players she meets everywhere -- except with the Dartmouth's men's rugby team. "Historically, they think we're stealing their money," said Hicks, who is the women's rugby friends' chair. Because of Title IX, which requires equal opportunities for male and female athletes, some financial contributions that men's rugby would otherwise receive go to the women's rugby club.
