Heller '05 honored for community service

By Richard Lazarus | July 21, 2003

Becca Heller '05 is not one to talk up her own accomplishments. Although in her time so far at Dartmouth, Heller has started more community initiatives than many college graduates will contribute to in their entire lives, talking with her one gets the impression that all her work was so simple, or so obvious, that the only remarkable thing is that it was never done before. Take, for example, Heller's development of a mentoring program in which Dartmouth students tutor local elementary school children in Sharon, N.H.

Largest minority remains diverse, scattered

By Megh Duwadi | July 21, 2003

They are young, urban and diverse. And as of this summer, Hispanics are also the most populous minority group in the country. Edging past the nation's African Americans, Latinos have reached a total of 38.8 million, or 13 percent of the total population, the United States Census Bureau recently revealed. Still, within this group little uniformity exists, making it difficult to draw broad conclusions on what exactly it means to be Hispanic in America. Two-thirds are of Mexican origin, but the remaining percentage comes from a variety of backgrounds.

Diplomatto head Dickey

By Michael Brodlieb | July 21, 2003

Even with an track record that included stints as a U.S. diplomat to troubled eastern European countries, Ken Yalowitz has adopted a modest attitude toward his position as the new director of The Dickey Center. "The Dickey Center has been outstanding and successful, and I want to build on that record of achievement" Yalowitz said. The Center's director since early July, Yalowitz said he aims to broaden the organization's activities and raise its visibility around his campus. His primary goal, though, is to make the Dickey Center a nexus of student interest and activity. "Students should find it a stimulating place -- a chance to share time with faculty and other students" Yalowitz said. The Dickey Center was founded in 1982 to promote international awareness and discussion on the Dartmouth campus.

IFC holds barbecue for police

By Kate Lyon | July 17, 2003

What happens when you throw a party, but no one comes? Fraternity members may at times find themselves at odds with local law enforcement officials, but Dartmouth's Inter-Fraternity Council hoped to strengthen these relationships by planning a special barbecue held Sunday evening. Stuart Leung '05, a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity and IFC President, called the barbecue an "opportunity to connect" with the invited guests -- members of the Norwich and Hanover Police Departments and Dartmouth's Safety and Security. No members of the police departments or Safety and Security attended the barbecue.

"SA is really excited about supporting this program because we are constantly searching for proactive means of addressing violent crimes and hate incidents on campus," Hildreth said.

Speech examines Nazi role in state's industry

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.
