Service learning inspires students

By Richard Lazarus | August 22, 2003

This term, some members of Environmental Systems 39 -- "Natural Resources, Development and the Environment" -- tried something a little different: instead of just studying the problems of food security and distribution, they elected to do something about them. Thirteen of the 47 students in the class researched and wrote an extensive and detailed plan to implement an Upper Valley food gleaning program instead of writing a final paper for the class.

College to report ski infractions to NCAA

By Kate Lyon | August 22, 2003

A routine audit conducted Spring term has directed scrutiny toward Dartmouth's ski team, revealing the College's possible failure to comply with National Collegiate Athletic Association rules. An internal routine rules compliance audit discovered possible violations of NCAA regulations, including competitions for individuals and teams that exceed NCAA limits and illegal individual benefits for training and competition beyond the Dartmouth ski team's competitive season, as well as infractions of coaching limits and responsibilities. These findings potentially effect both Nordic and Alpine competitors, as the two groups together comprise the Dartmouth Ski Team as a whole. An internal investigation of these infractions carried out by the institution is complete, Dartmouth officials said, though the report may be subject to review by the College's Office of Audit and Advisory Services before it is submitted to the NCAA in the next few weeks. According to Kay Hawes, associate director of media relations for the NCAA, the organization has rules governing numerous aspects of athletic competition that are voted on by the institutions.

Student services defined summer Assembly's term

By Lizzie Wise | August 20, 2003

Although only a handful of students were on this term to attend Student Assembly meetings, this summer's Assembly followed through on several projects it had conceived of quite some time ago, most of which will be implemented this Fall and will affect the entire student body. The Assembly allocated approximately $20,000 this term for various events and projects to be put in place. Providing services to the student body was a major theme running throughout the Assembly's agenda. This Fall, the Collegiate Readership Program, led by Summer Vice President Steve Koutsavlis '05, will allow students daily access to the New York Times, the Boston Globe, and USA Today.

By Shaunak Mewada | August 20, 2003

Still, the animal can be extremely dangerous, according to College Proctor Harry Kinne, the newly appointed director of Safety and Security. There have been two confirmed occasions when the bear was spotted, and numerous other reports, Kinne said.

Summer temps surprise

By Dan Olson | August 18, 2003

For all the precipitation seen in recent weeks, Hanover might as well be notoriously dreary England or the Pacific Northwest this term, -- at least in the eyes of those who feel cheated out of the fun in the sun they had expected for sophomore summer. John Lillywhite, a transfer student from Oxford, considered the summer's weather "perfectly normal," but most longtime Dartmouth students disagreed. "This is not normal New Hampshire summer weather," Meryl Richards '05, a New Hampshire native, said.

2-day sheep chase vexes farm

By Megh Duwadi | August 12, 2003

The chase lasted 50 hours and involved the same number of volunteers and concerned passersby -- it just never broke a speed of five miles per hour. If only Little Bo Peep had been called to the scene. At various points starting Friday morning and ending midday on Sunday, three young sheep -- the entirety of Dartmouth Organic Farm's nascent livestock program -- were on the lam, evading student caretakers and maintaining generally uncooperative attitudes before their return to the Farm, located in nearby Lyme, N.H. The escapade began between 7:30 and 8 a.m.
