In alternative study, a chance to explore passions

By Richard Lazarus | March 4, 2003

Tonight, Chris Collier '03 will finally bring to Dartmouth what is perhaps the most ubiquitous but least-noticed type of orchestra music -- film music. For the last three terms, Collier has used a Senior Fellowship -- a program which allows a small group of seniors to pursue an independent project rather than take classes -- to study a genre that is not taught at the College and usually ignored outside of the composers that produce it and the filmmakers that use it. His research will culminate in a concert tonight at 8 p.m.

The crews responsible for fashioning sets, clambering up ladders to dangle spotlights from the ceiling and sew together costumes often receive less attention than their peers onstage. But making the technical preparations necessary for any Dartmouth production requires months, sometimes even a year, of concerted efforts from student crews and Dartmouth professors. Magic Sheets: "Making the Verbal Visual" Thater professor Dan Kotlowitz's work designing lighting for theatrical productions at Dartmouth has sent him into hospitals, prisons and a coal mine. "I did rounds with a medical student when I did a show about AIDS," he said, recalling his hospital visit.

Dean lambasts other Democratic hopefuls

By Megh Duwadi | March 3, 2003

2004 presidential candidate Howard Dean castigated fellow Democrats for "mimicking" the Bush administration's domestic and foreign policies in front of more than 250 supporters at the Hopkins Center Friday evening. At the fundraising event, priced at $50 per person, longtime Dean supporters, prominent local Democrats and self-described independent voters crowded around the former Vermont governor as he alternated between outlining his aspirations for 2004 and posing for photographs with attendees. Dean for America, which organized the event, admitted a small group of students affiliated with the College's Young Democrats for free. Dean has gained political steam in recent weeks for his anti-war views and fiery on-stage demeanor, both of which he displayed Friday.

By Sarah Betts | February 28, 2003

By Matt Lewis | February 26, 2003

Dorm improvement has never tasted this good. Luring students with Lou's cakes and pies, the Dorm Improvement Group have been holding informational sessions throughout the week to clue the campus in to their mission to furnish College dormitories with the amenities students want. Formed this term by Student Assembly, DIG has been blessed with an enviable treasury of $20,000 from the Assembly and the Office of Residential Life for the next two terms in order to fulfill any student's suggestion for improving the social and study spaces. The Assembly has organized outreach events this week in part to better inform students about DIG. "I think its important for people to know that this is a pretty simple process, and they're going to see change." Todd Rabkin Golden '06, the vice president of DIG and an Assembly member, said. After completing a few questions, students can submit a proposal to DIG for what they believe would be a valuable addition to their respective dorm.
