Stage and screen, theater and gallery attract '01s

By Sabrina Peric | June 10, 2001

Usually, it isn't the salary that attracts students to jobs in arts-related fields. For graduates going into the arts, it is the love of their discipline that pushes them to go forward. Andy Hoey '01, who is double majoring in drama modified with film and history, plans to study at the Royal Academy of the Dramatic Arts in London before moving to New York City to "try his hand" at auditioning. "To be honest, I'm pretty freaked out ... but I know that I'll regret it if I don't at least give it a shot," Hoey said. Active in several departments, Hoey has performed in a number of drama productions -- most recently in "Art" -- and had his movie, "The Runner," screened at the Dartmouth Student Film Festival. "My most valuable theater experience was 'Sheep's Milk on the Boil,'" he said.

Albright to deliver keynote address

By Maggie Shnayerson | June 10, 2001

She has rarely given in to anyone, be it her twin daughters or an army of Haitian or Iraqi soldiers. But she decided to give in to the College's pleas that she speak at its 231st graduation ceremonies today. Madeleine Albright, the country's first female Secretary of State, is scheduled as the keynote speaker as the Class of 2001 departs Hanover. The loyal Democrat who told the Haitian military junta in 1994 "you can depart voluntarily and soon, or you can depart voluntarily and soon," is noted by foreign relations experts as one of the most aggressive Secretaries of State the country has ever seen. "Words are cheap; actions are the coin of the realm," she noted about Iraq, adding that the true lesson to be learned from World War II was to fight force with force. The 1959 Wellesley College graduate was confirmed to her position in the Clinton administration in 1997 by a unanimous Senate. Albright presided over a historic restructuring of U.S.

DTV makes progress

By Tara Kyle | May 30, 2001

Channel-surfing students looking for distraction from papers, midterms and finals have long been able to turn to broadcast station 13 for entertainment ranging from numerous daily airings of the latest Hollywood hits to repeat showing of such student-created programs as "Baker Terror."

Greek leaders vote to replace CFSC

By Ithan Peltan | May 30, 2001

Greek presidents last night charged themselves to work out the details of a new overarching organization to replace the Coed Fraternity Sorority Council during the first weeks of Fall term. In a meeting that lasted just 45 minutes, the CFSC was able to come to enough of an agreement to pass a resolution signifying support for the idea that the current Greek governing system, in the form of the CFSC, should be profoundly restructured in such a way that power is shifted to house presidents and the four Greek sub-councils. Last night's resolution came in response to an Interfraternity Council proposal presented two weeks ago that advocated the replacement of the CFSC with the "Greek Presidents Council" (GPC). Structured as a forum of CFS presidents and lacking an executive board, the proposed GPC would have significantly less decision making power and enforcement authority than the group it would be replacing. Many of the decisions now made by the CFSC would be made by the IFC, the Coed Council, the all-sorority Panhellenic Council and the Pan Hellenic Council, the organization of the historically black Greek houses. Sub-councils can not only best represent their constituency, Greek leaders said, but the redistribution of power will force individual houses to be accountable for their actions. The IFC proposal was not brought up by a vote at the meeting, which was chaired by CFSC Vice President Lauren Lafaro '02 because of the absence of President Shihwan Chung '02 due to a personal engagement. Both Lafaro and IFC President Eric Powers '02 said a large majority of Greek leaders support the general direction of the GPC proposal and more generally want to change the structure of the overarching Greek governing body, but that the proposal was lacking in the details needed for a vote on implementation.Support for the general philosophy behind the IFC report was in fact widespread among Greek leaders who spoke to The Dartmouth last week and over the weekend.

At least 220 '04s remain homeless

By Alison Schmauch | May 30, 2001

Preliminary numbers released by the Office of Residential Life indicate that approximately 220 rising sophomores are currently on the wait list for on-campus housing next fall. Lynn Rosenblum, director of on-campus housing, said that fewer students are on the wait list now than were at this time last year, when 241 sophomores were on the wait list for housing. While more students may request to be placed on the wait list before May 31, Rosenblum anticipates that the total number of students who will request to be placed on the wait list before the deadline will be under 250. Members of the Class of 2004 placed on the wait list who spoke with The Dartmouth expressed varied feelings about the overall room draw process. Greta Milligan '04 was not particularly concerned about eventually obtaining housing next year. "I'm not really that worried out about it.

Zete expected to file appeal today

By Alice Gomstyn | May 29, 2001

In an attempt to overturn the College's recent decision to derecognize Zeta Psi fraternity, the organization is expected to file an appeal today, according to Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman. The College announced its decision to shut down the fraternity on May 11 following the discovery of internal house newsletters containing detailed accounts of brothers' supposed sexual exploits. The decision was largely the result of an administrative hearing held to determine whether or not the fraternity had, through its newsletters, violated certain codes of conduct. Redman, who had presided over the hearing, decided that Zeta Psi was indeed guilty of several violations.

Trumbull researches prostitution

By Craig Elbert | May 25, 2001

When students hear that Junior Charlie Trumbull flew to Cuba to study prostitution, they often ask him one question: So, did you do any first-hand research? "A lot of people had a misconception of what I was trying to do," Trumbull said. In reality, Trumbull's trip, sponsored by the Dickey Center for International Understanding, was an in-depth research project on the social, political, and economic ramifications of the rampant prostitution in post Cold War Cuba, the junior pointed out. Trumbull spent a month in Cuba this winter interviewing prostitutes, politicians and law-enforcement officials, among others, in an attempt to understand the conditions that allow prostitution to thrive in Cuba.
