New rush to affect Greeks

By Jeremy Skog | October 9, 2001

The College's decision to move rush from sophomore fall to winter starting this year, while opposed by many Greek houses, may not affect houses in the short term, but will likely lead to long-term financial troubles. Because of the move houses now have only two classes of members this fall, leading to problems with filling houses for some and less dues for all. "Some of the smaller houses might have problems" financially, said Peter Stern '02 vice president of recruitment for the Interfraternity Council, "The influx of dues is lacking." "This certainly affects them financially.

By From staff and wire reports | October 8, 2001

On Sunday night in Afghanistan, weeks of waiting for the fallout of the Sept. 11th incidents came to fruition as a wave of American and British air assaults were launched against the nation. Early reports had cruise missile and B-1, B-2 and B-52 bomber strikes aimed at "carefully targeted" locations such as al Qaeda training camps and Taliban military centers in and around the cities of Kabul, Jalalabad and Kandahar. The campaign represented a joint effort between the United States and Great Britain; several other nations including Germany, Canada, France and Australia provided support through intelligence and logistical means. "There can be no peace in a world of sudden peril ... We did not ask for this mission, but we will fulfill it," President Bush said from the White House at 1:00 p.m.

By Nicholas Ostrow | October 5, 2001

Campus recruitment by employers has always been in the form of job fairs and campus interviews. After the events that transpired in New York City, however, seniors at Dartmouth seeking employment will face somewhat limited options this year.

By Charles Gardner | October 5, 2001

Muslim students feel discrimination off campus

By Reena Dutta | October 4, 2001

As the country recovers from the Sept. 11 terror attacks, Arabs and Muslims at Dartmouth are adjusting to their role in a wounded and vengeful nation.

Students unaware of GLC

By Jeremy Skog | October 3, 2001

While Dartmouth's Greek leaders have been engaged in serious discussion for months about the future governing structure of the system and only recently approved a new proposal, most students are largely unaware of and personally uninterested in the recent decision. "I wasn't aware [of the changes] but it's something that people who are going to be hanging out there should know about," said Travis Keller '05, echoing the sentiments of most students interviewed by The Dartmouth. Most did not know that the presidents of the houses had recently voted to endorse the constitution of the Greek Leaders Council as a replacement for the CFSC. For those who did know, their information was spotty. "I am aware of the fact that there was a change," said Sergei Zaslavsky '02 who added that he was "really not familiar with the practical implications," of the decisions. In general, students who are unaffiliated were less likely to know about the new decisions. Molly Redmond '02 said that she was not "at all" aware of any changes in Greek government. "I don't really care; probably if you're affiliated it'd be more a matter of concern," she said. Members of Greek houses were more likely to know what was going on.
