Back to Basics

By Janelle Ruley | February 5, 1998

Before I begin, I just have to comment on the sign on the broken blitz computer in Collis: how cool is that?! But, anyway, I've got issues with the English language. Apparently, so do many other Americans.

Article Misrepresented Facts About the Construction of a New Lodge at the Skiway

By Richard Heck | February 4, 1998

To the Editor: I am writing in response to Monday's article on the Skiway ("New lodge to be built at Skiway," The Dartmouth, February 2). Despite what the headline seems to suggest, the College has not approved a proposal to renovate or construct a new lodge at the Skiway. It is true, as reported in the article, that a Skiway Advisory Committee has studied the long-term needs of the Skiway and has recommended several upgrades and improvements to the Skiway that will permit it to sustain its intercollegiate and recreational programs into the next century and beyond. The proposed lodge renovation represents only one of many recommendations, none of which were mentioned in the article. The headlines suggested that the College had approved specific plans to build a new lodge at the Skiway.

CFSC Denounces Generalizations

By Andrea Stenger | January 29, 1998

Last week a red flyer was sent to the Hinman Box of every '01 woman at Dartmouth. The flier looked like an invitation, with a picture of one of Dartmouth's fraternity houses on top, along with the words "You are invited to Frat Culture Night."

Put Evaluations to Use

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | January 29, 1998

The College's history of quality teaching has always distinguished it from larger universities which focus on research rather than on undergraduate eductions. In order to preserve this commitment to excellence in instruction, professors must remain accountable to those who know them best -- their students. Although the College has a system of teacher evaluations, the current procedures fail to solicit and implement student input sufficiently. Professors should attach greater importance to evaluations by giving them out at least a week before reading period, instead of haphazardly handing them out on the chaotic final day of classes. These evaluations should be incorporated into professors' syllabi for each class and should be utilized equally by all departments. Since they provide a direct source of student input into the process of deciding tenure, these evaluations should receive attention proportional to their value. No one is more familiar with professors' teaching styles, both good and bad, than their students.
