With Grant's trees, College builds

By Kate Lyon | July 23, 2003

It is, some may say, the most "natural" example of Dartmouth's symbiotic, keep-each-other-afloat attitude toward the surrounding community: a partnership that begins with College-owned trees, brings in local businesses and culminates in solid hardwood products. In a joint venture with Vermont-based furniture company Island Pond Woodworkers, Dartmouth provides a local industry with business while reaping its own benefits as well. Three hours from Hanover lies the wilderness of the Second College Grant, one of Dartmouth's most valuable physical resources.

New Citrus Alliance keeps campus warm

By Alison Schmauch | July 23, 2003

For the College's Southern population, life may be soon getting a little steamier, if not downright juicy. Students who have felt overwhelmed by the sight of snow for the first time or confused about how to order a winter coat that will guard adequately against the Hanover cold may now be able to find solace by joining a young extracurricular organization known as the Dartmouth Citrus Alliance. Established in the winter of 2002, the Citrus Alliance was the idea of Floridian and Class of 2002 Class President Jen Tutak '02.

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.

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.

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.

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.
