Big Green Economy Feature

By The Dartmouth Staff | April 19, 2000

In the longest economic expansion in American history, filled with such stories as Internet opportunities turning dreaming kids into millionaires, one might expect that Dartmouth students would want to eat a piece of the investment pie. And plenty of them do. To encourage undergraduate investment efforts, several students have banded together in investment groups, such as Big Green Investors and the Dartmouth Finance and Investment Club, that provide them the insights and resources that would otherwise be unavailable to them.

Hardly an unpaid internship

By Amit Anand | April 19, 2000

When it comes to the financial markets, timing is everything. Imagine you discover a relatively unknown company right in your backyard, buy stock in it and sit back and watch its price go from the single digits to more than 150 dollars. You're probably thinking that this only happens to Wall Street portfolio managers or retired people who waited a decade to see their wealth grow.

Initiative could lead to D-plan talks

By Heidi Ellenbecker | April 18, 2000

While discussions stemming from the Student Life Initiative have yet to focus specifically on the D-plan, the current talks could lead to discussing the value of the D-plan as early as next year, said Dean of the Faculty Ed Berger in an interview with The Dartmouth. According to Berger, the discussion of the calendar has always taken a back seat to other issues in the past, but the Initiative provides "an opportunity to re-examine [the College's] commitment to the D-plan." Berger said most professors have accepted the D-plan and the flexibility it provides, however many are quick to cite both the pros and the cons of the current system of 10-week terms and a four- term year. He said that while students and faculty enjoy the flexibility of the D-plan, it can be chaotic for structuring curricula.

Feminist writer Walker discusses activist work

By Patrick Burleigh | April 18, 2000

As the Women's Resource Center's "Visionary in Residence," feminist writer and lecturer Rebecca Walker spent three days last week meeting with students and faculty to discuss her work as an activist and author. On Friday she was awarded the "2000 Women's Resource Visionary Award" by the Resource Center, an honor that is given -- in the words of Giovanna Munafo, the Center's Director -- "to someone more challenging than simply an 'artist or writer in residence,' someone who builds new paradigms." "It is very rare for me to find students as engaged and intelligent and as beautiful as you are," Walker told a nearly full 105 Dartmouth Hall on Friday.

Nobacco gives money for smokeless parties

By Kathleen McDermott | April 14, 2000

The next time you go to a fraternity party, the brother checking IDs at the door might tell you to put out that cigarette before letting you in the house. That's because Nobacco, a student-led cancer awareness organization, has once again given money to groups on campus -- including Greek houses -- to hold smoke-free events to promote the healthier, tobacco-free lifestyle. This year, the group awarded 12 grants totaling $9,000 to campus groups for hosting tobacco-free activities. Another $1,000 will be used to coordinate and publicize the activities, which will all take place this term, according to Gary Maslow '00, who heads Nobacco. The grants will fund tobacco-free social events, community service projects, and anti-tobacco image campaigns. The social events form the largest group among the grant recipients, because according to Maslow, "people at Dartmouth smoke " that's the social situation." But through these Nobacco-funded tobacco-free social events, nearly every weekend there will be the option of going to a party or dance without smoking, Maslow said. Chi Heorot fraternity will hold a Casino Night, Alpha Delta fraternity will throw a smoke-free party and the Interfraternity Council and Coed Fraternity Sorority Council will coordinate an entire smoke-free weekend in May. Other events include a Dance Extravaganza organized by the Steppin' Out dance group on April 22, a Dance Marathon benefiting a children's hospital on May 6, a SHEBA Dance Group performance and party and an Asgard Board Game Extravaganza.
