Economy reduces job options

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. The immediate effects of the terrorist attacks have structurally damaged some companies to a degree such that recruiters will not visit Dartmouth. Cantor Fitzgerald is among a few companies that will not recruit at Dartmouth at all this year due to the attacks, according to Asst.

Stutzman to chair finance committee

By Charles Gardner | October 5, 2001

Dartmouth's Undergraduate Finance Committee, headed in past years by Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia, will have a new chair this year: Molly Stutzman '02. Stutzman, who also serves as Student Body President, will preside over this year's meetings of the UFC -- the committee charged with allocating funds to eight major campus organizations, and will be its first-ever student chair. Although Stutzman was excited about her appointment, which went into effect this fall following discussions with Sateia during Spring term, she emphasized that the nature of the job precluded any sweeping change for the UFC. "[The UFC] has a very specific charge," Stutzman said.

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. While most Arab and Muslim students do not seem to feel hesitant or uncomfortable with discussing the terrorist attacks, some did say that they feel more cautious when speaking with non-Muslims than when speaking with Muslims. As Yousef Haque '02 said, "Non-Muslims may not have as broad a perspective in this matter, partially because of media stereotypes.

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.

Local transit hubs beef up security measures

The Sept. 11 hijackings forced officials at train stations, bus stations and airports nationwide to implement stricter security procedures and to assure the traveling public that trains, buses and airplanes are safe. The visible changes -- which have been ordered by federal, state and local authorities -- have impacted the way people across America have traveled since last month's confidence-shattering atrocity occurred. The Dartmouth visited two local hubs of transportation to find out how such national issues are impacting service, passengers and employees in the rural Upper Valley. Lebanon Municipal Airport Less than a month ago, passengers would have been milling through the tiny Lebanon Municipal Airport at 3 p.m., waiting for the 3:23 p.m.

Economy may increase fin. aid applicants

By Tara Kyle | October 3, 2001

A tough year in the stock market and the strain of a national emergency may lead more prospective and current students to apply for aid, but Dartmouth remains committed to fulfilling need, according to Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Karl Furstenberg. "Financial aid is there to support students in good economic times and bad economic times," Furstenberg said, explaining that it is the College's responsibility to support students whose family's financial situations may worsen. While the market had already begun to falter by last Winter's application deadline, Furstenberg said figures for last year's class bear little impact.

Professors share insight on Islam

By Valerie Silverman | October 3, 2001

What could possibly motivate 18 terrorists to bomb three buildings and kill thousands? A panel discussion of the origins of the United States' war on terrorism held last night offered analysis into that and other such presumably unanswerable questions. "We must explain the factors that make it possible for Osama bin Laden to exist," said Professor of religion at Dartmouth, Kevin Reinhart, who is an expert on Islam. Reinhart explained that as the spokesman for a group of people who share grievances against the West, and America in particular, "Osama bin Laden is kind of a hip-hop Muslim ... His Islam is like Jim Jones' Christianity -- self serving." The Islamic fundamentalist aversion to the United States' foreign policy is not a new issue, the panelists stressed. "The Iranian Revolution of 1979 encouraged Islamic movements throughout the Middle East," said Professor of Sociology at Dartmouth, Misagh Parsa, a scholar of the politics of developing countries and the Iranian Revolution. Such movements have been inspired by internal factors in the region, such as economic inequalities, as well as by external ones, such as what Parsa called the "tragic history of the Middle East with American intervention." But while the panelists agreed that definite discontent did exist in the Muslim world, they also pointed out that people who practice Islam do not all share the same angry ideology. "There is no single Islam," said Gene Garthwaite, a panelist and Dartmouth history professor.

Humanities struggling in U.S.

By Davey Archwamety | October 3, 2001

According to a speech given by New Yorker staff writer Louis Menand in Rockefeller yesterday, the humanities are undergoing an increasing struggle in American universities. In Menand's hour-long presentation, "The Marketplace of Ideas," he discussed the transformation of the university system from the "Golden Age" (1945-75) to the present. Menand, a Professor of English at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, said that the university system expanded greatly after World War II and continued to see high enrollment because of economic growth, the baby boom and the Cold War. According to Menand, one important event came soon after the launch of Sputnik by Russia in 1957, when the U.S.

Keep us safe, please!

By Tara J. Maller | October 3, 2001

Thinking back to my summer internship on Capitol Hill, one thing seems perfectly clear: our nation took security for granted. Each morning, I entered the Senate Russell Building through a staff only entrance and rarely was I asked by the guards to present my official Senate identification card.
