'02s choose Senior Executive Committee

By Charles Gardner | February 11, 2002

Last Thursday and Friday, against the backdrop of Winter Carnival, Dartmouth seniors selected 20 of their classmates to serve together on the Class of 2002 Senior Executive Committee, the group charged with organizing class activities for the next five years. SEC members will hold weekly meetings during Winter and Spring terms to plan events such as Class Day and to select class marshals for Commencement, among other responsibilities. Following graduation, the committee will organize mini-reunions, manage the class newsletter and ultimately plan the fifth year reunion in 2007, at which new class officers will be chosen. The members of this year's senior class chosen for the SEC are Jonathan Block, Anne Cloudman, Anne Delaney, Derek Draper, Maxine Goldstein, Vanessa Green, Kendra Quincy Kemp, Philip Mone, Desmond Nation, Katie Pasciucco, Victoria Potterton, Eric Powers, Marcus Rowe, Michael Sevi, Yelena Shklovskaya, Molly Stutzman, Jon Sussman, Jen Tutak, Gary Weissman and Emily Wood. These 20 students -- whose names were announced Saturday following the previous day's elections -- were chosen from a total applicant pool of 34 seniors.

A recent bill passed by Congress will establish constant interest rates for federal student loans starting in 2006 in order to make them more accessible for low-income students. Currently, the interest rates of federal student loans "float" with the 91-day Treasury bill.

Dartmouth again attempts to create Emerald City

By Charles Gardner | February 8, 2002

Imperfect weather conditions and lack of student help could not totally derail the construction of the Winter Carnival's annual snow sculpture, which looks back to the creations of decades past for inspiration. This year's sculpture -- a replica of the Emerald City from "The Wizard of Oz" -- ties in with the Carnival theme, "There's Snow Place Like Home," and sits in its customary location at the center of the Green. Tim Zeitler '03, who served on the Winter Carnival Committee as sculpture co-chair along with Austin Brey '05, explained that his design sought to recapture the grandeur of earlier sculptures while remaining simple enough in plan to allow the participation of student volunteers. "I really wanted a revival of how things were in the past," Zeitler said.

Over the Carnival

By Abbye Meyer | February 8, 2002

I guess Winter Carnival is indeed the stuff of myths and movies. And with the wizardly theme of "There's Snow Place Like Home," I nominate myself as the Dorothy, for I believe that I am indeed the daughter of the Carnival, the tiny protagonist put on a long road of struggles to search for happiness and resolution. My first introduction into the world of Winter Carnival (and of Dartmouth culture), a whopping three years ago, began much like Dorothy's introduction to the land over the rainbow -- I had no idea what was going on, but I knew I wasn't in Kansas (or Wisconsin) anymore. Since the big announcement ("The End of the Greek System 'As We Know It'") had been made only two days before my first Carnival, the opening ceremony was a little weird.

Partner, Remember the Hills?

By From the Scrapbook of Fred Harris | February 8, 2002

Partner, remember the hills? The gray, barren, bleak old hills We knew so well. Not those gentle, placid slopes that swell In lazy undulations, lush and green. No: the real hills, the jagged crests, The sharp and sheer-cut pinnacles of earth That stand against the azure -- gaunt, serene, Careless of all out little worsts and bests, Our sorrow and our mirth. Partner, remember the hills? Those snow-crowned battlements of hills We loved of old. They stood so calm, so inscrutable and cold, Somehow it seemed they never cared at all For you or me, our fortune or our fall. And yet we felt their thrall And, ever and forever to the end, We shall not cease, my friend, To hear their call. Partner, remember the hills? The grim and massive majesty of hills That soared so far, Seeming, at night, to scrape against a star. Do you remember how we lay at night And watched the moonshine -- white Against the peaks all garlanded with snow While soft and low The night wind murmured in our ears -- And so We wrapped our blankets closer, looked again At those great, shadowy mountaintops, and then Sank gently to our deep And quiet sleep. Partner, remember the hills? The real hills, the true hills. Ah!

Dartmouth becomes Oz with WC weekend

By Allison Stuntz | February 8, 2002

Every year, the Winter Carnival theme compels the Dartmouth community to devise countless puns, clever designs, and tie-in events for the affair. This year's "Wizard of Oz" theme, first conceived by Winter Carnival co-chair Ryan Bennett '04 and officially titled "There's Snow Place Like Home," was supposed to yield an Emerald City on the Green, a drag ball titled "You're not in Kansas anymore" and even a showing of "The Wizard of Oz" to the music of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." The Carnival theme is generally decided at the end of each Fall term.

Celebratory air returns to Carnival opening ceremony

The atmosphere at last night's Winter Carnival opening ceremonies was jovial and celebratory, a change from recent Carnivals that have been overshadowed by campus events.

Less Stress with S and S

By Chris Curran | February 8, 2002

Winter Carnival is upon us. Whether one participates in the Polar Bear Swim, pulls an all-nighter on the pong tables, cheers for our athletic teams, mingles with alumni or merely ignores homework for just one weekend, Carnival provides a much needed respite from an otherwise dreary term.

Local bands ready to rock at Jamfest

By Kelly Swartz | February 8, 2002

With only sporadic fraternity appearances and weeknights at Lone Pine Tavern, performance opportunities for campus bands are limited. Hours from Boston and Burlington, Dartmouth sacrifices the existence of energetic venues and clubs to maintain its sheltered, small-town college feel. So this Winter Carnival, instead of spending obscene amounts of money for a one-night stand from a famous band, committee members decided to stage Jamfest, a concert featuring Dartmouth student bands, in an attempt to raise interest and support from students for Dartmouth's waning music scene. This Saturday night from 6 p.m.
