Dartmouth dorms differ: from dreary to dazzling

By Jeremy Skog | August 1, 2001

Dartmouth offers a wide variety of dorm options, from the luxurious to the cramped. Organized in clusters, these dorms can be the defining factor in how much you study, where you do it, and more. Luckily for you, the Office of Residential Life (ORL) has simplified the options recently, assigning nearly half the first-years to freshman-only dorms in the River and Choates clusters, continuing an experiment in freshman-only housing begun last year.

'D-plan' creates unique options

By Kathleen McDermott | August 1, 2001

At the end of her freshman year, as many of her classmates headed off to internships and camp counselor positions, Jennifer Cho '03 remained on campus, living with three fellow '03s and taking a full load of classes. "I had a lot of fun, and got to know a lot of the sophomores," who were on campus for their Sophomore Summer, Cho explained. Cho was able to take classes her freshman summer because of Dartmouth's "D-plan," the College's unique academic calendar which elicits both groans and praises across campus. Under the Dartmouth Plan, often referred to as the D-plan, the academic calendar runs year-round, with four ten-week quarters -- fall, winter, spring and summer -- during which students enroll in two, three or four classes.

By Jennifer Thomas | August 1, 2001

Despite its limited length, a casual stroll down Main Street, the only part of Hanover that, at a stretch, might be referred to as "downtown," yields a variety of shopping options. On Hanover's busiest street, the diligent shopper can encounter most of the essentials of student life -- from school supplies to camping supplies, spirit wear to dorm decor. The College itself is a presence on the street that leads up to the Green.

All-star football game will benefit sick kids

By Kathleen McDermott | July 31, 2001

The finest high school football players from New Hampshire and Vermont will face off this Saturday at Alumni Field in the 48th annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl, which organizers hope will raise over $200,000 for Shriners hospitals. David Orr '57, the organization's director of media relations, said the Maple Sugar Bowl and other similar athletic fundraisers bring in nearly $3 million to the Shriners each year, allowing them to operate twenty-two hospitals throughout the nation and provide children with free health care. The Hanover game is the third largest football competition the Shriners organize -- out of the forty that take place all over the country -- and has attracted up to 10,000 visitors to Hanover in past years. Over the past forty-eight years, the Hanover event has raised four and a half million dollars, Orr noted. The funds raised from the Hanover game, he added, will specifically benefit the Shriners hospitals in Springfield, Ill., Montreal and Boston. But the activities will begin before the kickoff. Approximately 3,000 Shriners from throughout the northeast will march down Main Street in a parade beginning at noon.

Yeshiva couple sues for housing

By Devin Foxall | July 27, 2001

A lawsuit challenging Yeshiva University's policy of excluding same-sex couples from university housing would likely have little effect if similar lawsuits were filed in New Hampshire, the Executive Director of the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union Claire Ebel said. Two lesbian students at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, which is part of Yeshiva, sued the university after they were denied housing set aside for married students of Einstein College. The housing rules discriminated against them, they argued, because, being gay, it was impossible for them to be married. The suit was dismissed by lower courts because housing benefits were also denied to unmarried heterosexuals.

ORL to build new housing

By Jennifer Thomas | July 25, 2001

In order to help accommodate the approximately 140 students still on the waiting list for Fall term housing, the Office of Residential Life is planning to construct temporary "small houses" in various locations around campus, according to Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman. Last night the Hanover Planning Board approved the construction and assembly of up to six modular two-story houses, which could hold up to 15 students each, according to Director of Facilities Planning Reed Bergwall. If the Hanover Zoning Board approves the plans at their meeting tomorrow, and the rest of the necessary permits are obtained, the project can continue. The houses will consist of four factory-built pieces constructed by a company in Clairmont, New Hampshire, and a local company named Energy Shield will assemble them on campus, Bergwall reported. Although the units have yet to be built, "[they] will be delivered and installed starting between August 15th and the beginning of school," Bergwall added. The houses will only be used for the next five to 10 years according to Redman. "These are not 90-year sort of residence halls," Redman said.
