New One Dartmouth tries to unite leaders

By Alexis Starke | October 23, 1998

One Dartmouth, a group for College organization leaders founded last Spring term 1998, will host its first campus-wide event this Saturday. James Gallo '99, Rachel Gilliar '98 and Marene Jennings '98 founded the group to counteract what they saw as poor communication among student organizations at the College. "There are numerous explanations [for founding One Dartmouth], but a primary reason is that many organizational leaders do not know each other," Gallo said. "The purpose of One Dartmouth is to increase communication and interaction among Dartmouth leaders and organizations that do not normally work together," Gallo said. Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia advises One Dartmouth, which includes leaders from campus organizations such as the Tucker Foundation, Native Americans at Dartmouth, Panhellenic Council, the Afro-American Society, Alianza Latina, Student Assembly, Palaeopitus and the Programming Board. One Dartmouth plans to meet twice a term to discuss the challenges College organizations face, promote leadership development, coordinate programming, encourage organizations to work together pro-actively and allow leaders to interact.

College's master plan sees northern exposure

By Nicole Tsong | October 22, 1998

The boundaries of the College, though seemingly static -- the Connecticut River, Wheelock St. -- are in perpetual change, with new lines being drawn all the time. Lo-Yi Chan '54, the campus master planner, mapped out the previous campus master plan in 1989, an update to a 1983 plan. But then the boundaries shifted. "Suddenly we bought the hospital," Chan said.

New program sorts through College trash

By Charlotte Bednar | October 21, 1998

After years of planning and some initial delays, the College has initiated an effort to separate its garbage into usable compost and actual trash. As part of the plan, College students and officials have color-coded dining hall garbage cans and added extra garbage cans to residence hall bathrooms. Dartmouth Recycles Intern Nicholas Dankers '01 said the composting project is the result of years of lobbying that brought a new composting facility to the old Hanover dump site. Director of Dartmouth Recycles Bill Hochstin said the facility received its first load of compostable garbage on August 3, after a series of trial runs over the course of the Summer Term. "I couldn't be more pleased with how it's working," Hochstin said. Dankers said the program will "profoundly alter the amount of trash we leave behind us every day and will keep nutrients local." He said the compostable garbage will be converted into a nutrient-rich dirt for use at the Dartmouth Organic farm, local soccer fields and private landscapers. Dankers said the College could potentially reduce 50 percent of its waste by recycling and composting. Hochstin said students have reacted positively to the program so far, and that the first load of garbage from Thayer Dining Hall was extremely well-sorted. Nonetheless, Dankers said it is very important that students sort their trash correctly. "The program is very susceptible to contamination," he said.

Lomakema describes Hopi healing process

By Lauren Lafaro | October 21, 1998

Stanford Lomakema, a Hopi elder, told an audience of about 70 people last night that the pressures of modern society often cause people to lose sight of their dreams. Lomakema, who attended Dartmouth for a year, opened a series of lectures sponsored by the Dartmouth Medical School's Minority Affairs Commission about native healers. Lomakema, who also attended Northern Arizona University, said he places a higher emphasis on the practical education he gained though the traditions and culture of the Hopi tribe. These experiences, he said, led to a turning point in his life when he realized his calling was to help his people. Lomakema, who teaches the Hopi language, serves on the Hopi Tribal Council's Board of Directors and is a healer, articulated his desire "to share what [he] has learned in [his] years in this world." Lomakema approached the topic of healing by explaining some of the primary beliefs of the Hopi Indians.
