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: A Service to Dartmouth

At a school where the student population is so academically driven and people always seem to be overextended, it is truly reassuring that there has been such an overwhelming response to DarCORPS -- the Dartmouth Community OutReach ProjectS. DarCORPS is the largest community service effort organized at Dartmouth in recent memory.

DarCORPS: The Perfect Day

By Ben Oren | May 2, 1997

Imagine waking up at 9:30 (Yes, 9:30 A.M.) on a sunny Spring morning, sitting up in your bed and stretching that last bit of sleep out of yourself.

Foolish Generalizations Can Be Misleading

By Jason Docheff | May 1, 1997

To the Editor: After reading the article "Major Gender Discrepancies" [April 30, 1997, The Dartmouth], I found myself quite disturbed by, among a number of things, certain quotations, or better, generalizations, by WISP Director Mary Pavone.

By Marcia Yablon | May 1, 1997

If you went out this weekend you may have noticed the hordes of parents wandering around campus. They were the ones with the all too conspicuous name tags and the varying shades of green apparel.

The Last Bonfire

By Sam Bonderoff | April 29, 1997

Death. The Last Dance. The Big Sleep. The Grand Finale. The Toothless Grin. We are all born with one guarantee in life, and that is that at some point, perhaps eighty years or ten days down the line, we will die.

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.

What Fun!

By Joseph Peters | April 28, 1997

It's a story with a familiar theme: a musical genius persecuted by those who lack his talent. In this particular variation on Amadeus and Immortal Beloved, a gifted child thwarted in his creativity by the tyranny of his father overcomes many trials to fulfill the promise of his genius.
