SA seeks to ease stress of split reading period

By Jessica Spradling | April 2, 2003

Creating a less stressful reading period for students this term is officially on the Student Assembly agenda, as a reading period reform proposal passed unanimously at a brief Assembly meeting last night. Student Body President Janos Marton '04, Vice President for Academic Affairs Jonathan Lazarow '05 and the Academic Affairs Committee co-sponsored the proposal, which calls on the Assembly to lobby the faculty to give no tests after May 20 and make final papers due before the days between reading period, unless that paper is the final grade in a given class. The reading period reform is in response to the "split reading period" that has become the normal conclusion to academic classes in the Spring term.

Although many have expressed concern about the lack of shopping options, students have generally found Wheelock's accommodations to be adequate in handling the start-of-term textbook rush. The Dartmouth Bookstore had been considering scaling back its textbook department since last summer.

Carapico details life in Yemen

By Elise Dunphe | April 1, 2003

"Yemen is one of the most outspoken of the Arab countries," Sheila Carapico, a professor at the University of Richmond, said, explaining that Yemeni citizens enjoy relative freedom of speech and of the press. Carapico, who has lived in Yemen for the purposes of study, argued that important strides have been made in the modernization of the country and in the civil liberties granted to the citizens, but that Yemen remains a nation not quite democratized. Because Yemen has not yet fully achieved democracy, she said, the government is vulnerable to moving further away from pluralism in the new age of heightened national security measures.
