Article Disregarded the Represenation of Women in Certain 'Hard' Sciences

By Ilana Liebert | May 6, 1997

To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article entitled "Major Gender Discrepancies?" [April 30, 1997, The Dartmouth]. While quoting statistics about the number of women majors in the sciences, she incompletely defines the science disciplines at Dartmouth as "biology, chemistry, engineering, computer science and physics." The article unfortunately left out Earth Sciences and Mathematics.

DarCORPS is the largest community service effort organized at Dartmouth in recent memory.

Sophomore Swing

By Lee Istrail | April 28, 1997

As I lay awake in bed a few nights ago thinking about how different I've felt this year as compared to last, my roommate muttered in his sleep, "It's true." Propelled by this harbinger of coincidence, I knew I was on to something momentous. Last year I felt altogether overwhelmed, unsure of how to deal with the hectic trimester schedule, dealing with a roommate, the blitzkrieg of opportunities available, the uber-students who participated in all of them, all the 'shmobs I felt left out of, and a few draconian classes in which I was apparently tested on how well I could read the profs' minds (I didn't flunk any, but ... two C+'s in the same term is a tad frustrating). But this year things aren't nearly as overwhelming, and last term I felt, for the first time, like a true sophomore.
