Greek events not up from last term

By Jeremy Skog | November 7, 2001

Although more Greek houses are being charged this term for hosting unregistered "parties" compared to previous terms, College officials admitted that the number of such events has not gone up this fall -- inadvertently admitting that perhaps the College is simply enforcing the pre-existing policy more strictly. "I certainly wouldn't think [the number of unregistered parties] has gone up," said Assistant Dean of Residential Life, Cassie Barnhardt. Head of the Department of Safety and Security, Proctor McEwen agreed, saying that he "didn't think" the amount of unregistered events had increased.

Assembly allocates $3000 for UTI

By Charles Gardner | November 7, 2001

As part of the continuing implementation of the Undergraduate Teaching Initiative (UTI), Student Assembly passed a resolution last night allocating $3,000 for four grants to support innovative teaching methods at the College. The resolution, which was sponsored by Aly Rahim '02, David Hankins '05 and Jonathon Lazarow '05, was not intended to be an end in itself, according to Rahim, but a strong message to the College on the current state of support for undergraduate teaching. "This resolution aims to make a statement, not merely provide a service," said Rahim, who chairs the Assembly's Academic Affairs Committee and is the author of the Initiative. "Through its actions, the SA wishes to bring to light this significant deficiency in our institutional support of teaching," he said. Rahim hoped that the administration and faculty would respond positively to the resolution by contributing at least 10 times the $3,000 allocated by the Assembly to further teaching grants, as recommended by language in the resolution. "There are going to be meetings arranged with the appropriate administrators," Rahim said, explaining to the Assembly how he intended to move the College to action on this point. "All that we can do is make our statement," he said.

College door locks installation underway

By Charles Gardner | November 6, 2001

Work on Dartmouth's new security system -- which will provide proximity card access to all residential halls on campus -- is well underway and remains on target for a January 1st completion date, according to Director of Residential Operations Woody Eckels. Activation of the system will occur no sooner than Spring term, however, as current Dartmouth ID cards are incompatible with the new hardware and will need to be gradually replaced over the winter. Although installation began in September, the noisiest and most visible phase of the construction process -- the drilling of small holes through building facades -- is only now concluding.

Green '75, Neff defend e-voting

By Matt Lewis | November 2, 2001

While speaking to a Dartmouth audience yesterday, Dick Green '75 recalled a politician's remark that was indicative of his company's struggle to bring electronic voting to the public. "I think he was the first to admit that 'Politicians are very reluctant to change the system that elected them,'" Green said. Despite the inherent fear of any severe shift from the status quo, Andrew Neff and Dick Green fervently believe their company, VoteHere.net, has solved the voting debacle that captured national attention during the 2000 presidential elections. The large amount of attention, though, has ironically hurt the effort to introduce new voting systems, which VoteHere began developing in 1998. "Prior to the 2000 election, many politicians were accepting to online voting," Green said.

Experts criticize juvenile justice

By Reena Dutta | November 2, 2001

Many people have a passion to reform the juvenile justice system -- but because bureaucracy stifles vision and inspiration, few people learn to properly finesse the system in order to achieve positive results, according to adolescent advocate Sister Janet Harris of California. Two critics of the present juvenile justice system, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joseph Brandolino and Sister Harris came to Dartmouth yesterday to deliver a speech entitled "Adolescents Behind Bars: The Juvenile (In) Justice System." The talk covered the general history of the juvenile justice system in America, addressed the issues of how to rehabilitate adolescents and discussed strategies of prevention. Judge Brandalino emphasized how recent trends in the 1980s and 1990s have led juvenile courts to become more like adult courts.

By Megh Duwadi | November 1, 2001

While most Dartmouth students of Middle Eastern and South Asian descent have largely escaped a nationwide trend of discrimination in the past seven weeks, concerns of bias and misunderstanding remain. Ben Gebre-Medhin '02 was verbally assaulted at a West Lebanon nightclub in mid-September.
