CFSC hopes to unify campus

By Kathrin Weston | June 30, 1999

After having actively responded to the Social and Residential Life Initiative during the Winter and Spring terms, the Coed Fraternity Sorority Council sees unifying the campus and bringing Greek and non-Greek students together as its main goal for the Summer term, newly-elected CFSC Summer President Jojo Adofo-Mensah '01 said yesterday. While plans for the Summer term are not yet concrete, Adofo-Mensah said the CFSC hopes to strengthen the connections between all sophomores on campus, and to make all students - affiliated and unaffiliated - feel comfortable at Greek events. He said he thinks strengthening the bond between all sophomores should be easier, since fewer students are on campus during the Summer term. In his speech at the CFSC election on Sunday night, Adofo-Mensah said he does not believe this summer is particularly important with regard to the Initiative. "It's much more about people than about big events," he said. Alex Wilson '01, elected Sunday as the CFSC's summer vice president, said that as the organization is waiting for the Trustees' response to its proposal, which he expects in the fall, the CFSC will focus on intangible improvements to the Greek system. "There's not a lot of solid stuff we can do now in response to the Initiative," Wilson said.

Administration's quick response earns students' praise

By Deborah Bernstein | June 23, 1999

Students receiving the meningococcal vaccine in Alumni Hall yesterday praised the College's ability to disseminate information about the recent cases of the disease on campus and did not express much concern about contracting the infection. They said BlitzMail messages sent to all members of the Dartmouth community, as well as the letter sent via overnight mail to all students planning to be on campus for the Summer term, helped provide information and alleviate fears. The letter, dated June 18, told students that while there is no medical reason for sophomores not to enroll for the usually mandatory Summer term, the residency requirement would be waived for concerned students. Acting Dean of the College Dan Nelson, who signed the letter, told The Dartmouth that "maybe five to six students" have opted not to come to Hanover for the summer because of the threat of contracting a meningococcal infection.
