UTI, Tom Dent Cabin are highlights of SA's term

By Charles Gardner | November 19, 2001

Dartmouth's Student Assembly enjoyed an unusually active and productive fall and is poised to follow up its accomplishments Winter term, according to Student Body President Molly Stutzman '02. Fall highlights included the passage of the Undergraduate Teaching Initiative, the acquisition of Tom Dent Cabin for free student use and the biannual meeting of the Ivy Council, which convened at Brown University just over a week ago. Fall is typically "when it's hardest to get things going," Stutzman said, noting that the term often serves as a time for Assembly members -- particularly freshmen -- to find their roles and determine their interests within the organization. This term, however, there was little delay in addressing important issues. "A lot of '05s have really stepped up in a lot of areas," Stutzman said of the term's work.

Is fear affecting our college experience?

By Alison Schmauch | November 19, 2001

While various current events -- both local and national -- have caused many students to experience fear or anxiety, it remains unclear whether or not these fears have altered the generally quiet, idyllic world of Hanover. Among students and administrators, there is no consensus -- some believe that recent events have changed Dartmouth, but others claim that Dartmouth remains safe as always. Others noted the difficulty of avoiding both hysterical reactions to current events and insensitive "under-reactions." Advisors to various student groups have noted increased concern about safety on campus. Amin Plaisted, advisor to Muslim students on campus, noted a rise in worries about safety immediately after the Sept.

By Lois Schonberger | November 17, 2001

MILWAUKEE -- Women's soccer at Dartmouth has been nothing this year if not exciting. And to the great relief of its many fans, this fall's squad will continue to entertain for at least another match. In a hotly contested match Friday night at Marquette University's Valley Fields, the Big Green took the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers through two sudden-death overtimes before freshman Katherine Kannenberg, a Wisconsin native, netted the game winner late in the second extra session to lift the Big Green to 1-0 triumph, disappointing the hometown crowd and securing a spot in the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Big Green will face Michigan, 1-0 winners over host Marquette, Sunday at 1 p.m.

Student groups, administrators try to curb religious tensions

By Kaitlin Bell | November 14, 2001

Dartmouth administrators didn't make a public statement when they learned that a sign instructing worshippers to remove their shoes before entering Rollins Chapel's Muslim prayer room had disappeared the day after the terrorist attacks. The sign removal -- which could have been done in retaliation or in preparation for a non-Muslim event in the same space -- bothered some Muslim students, but administrators brushed over the incident. There was no sure way of determining whether the sign's disappearance was "an act of violence" against Muslims, said Stuart Lord, dean of the Tucker Foundation, who handled the incident internally. Lord added that the Tucker Foundation, which is responsible for the upkeep of Rollins Chapel, saw the sign's disappearance as a good opportunity to replace the old paper reminder with a permanent sign. The fact that reports of discrimination at Dartmouth in the wake of the terrorist attacks have been limited to an ambiguous disappearance of a piece of paper seems to be a positive indication of Dartmouth's levels of tolerance. Cooperation makes it happen According to campus religious leaders and advisers, the relative tolerance among members of the Dartmouth community throughout Fall term this year has been helped along by a concerted effort on the part of the religious community. Al-Nur, Dartmouth's Muslim organization, has been working to educate both the Dartmouth and Upper Valley communities about Islam, especially by sharing their personal reactions to the events of Sept.

By Nathaniel Ward | November 14, 2001

As the College community continues to recover from the attacks on two female students Saturday morning, Sexual Abuse Awareness Program (SAAP) coordinator Abby Tassel pointed out that the actual number of sexual assaults at Dartmouth and other schools may be much higher than official reports. The statistics published by Dartmouth's Safety and Security, which they are required to release by law, indicate that sexual assaults have remained steady for several years and are comparable with those from other institutions.
