Dancer Strips Women of Repression

By Sarah Johnston | July 5, 1995

Myfriend was arrested last weekend. We were at a surprise birthday party being held in her honor, when a police officer knocked on the door. He told her that she was being arrested, and he handcuffed her.

Prevent Censorship on the Internet

By Laura Zachman | July 3, 1995

Witha flip of a switch and the flex of a wrist, we can launch ourselves into a world where information flows freely without cards or passwords or even humans to hinder our progress. That world is the Internet, a world were there is a relatively free exchange of information that has allowed for the rapid expansion of communication in the academic and corporate worlds alike. It should come as no surprise that government wants to regulate it. A new Senate bill plans the regulation of the Internet through continuation of the Federal Communications Commission's powers to decide what forms of telecommunication powers are in the "public interest." In other words, the Senate wants to fine people huge sums of money for selling pornography on the Internet, despite the fact that the FCC has been more than lax in its previous attempts to enforce purity -- prostitutes have used phone and radio to solicit clients for years. I believe this bill is less an attempt to save the impressionable youth of America than an attempt to get a federal handle on what is becoming one of the most vital sources of communication and commerce. Thankfully, Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, much to the chagrin of some Senate Republicans, objected to the bill on the grounds of free speech.

Sophomore Summer Sucks

By Sarah Johnston | June 27, 1995

Dartmouth is beautiful in the summer. Let's face it, there's a limited amount of time to enjoy sunshine and heat when you are in the middle of New Hampshire, and sophomore summer allows all of us, including a few non-sophomores, to delight in just that.

EPA software to save energy

By Jim Hourdequin | June 21, 1995

A few weeks ago, I attended the Dartmouth Energy Council's final meeting of the year. Having attended Energy Council meetings all year long, I had come to expect very little from the administrators and faculty who convene every other month to review the College's energy guidelines and propose new ways to cut energy costs.

Misattribution of Arousal

By Brian Deaner | May 30, 1995

Although some skeptics might tell you that majoring in psychology does not adequately prepare you for corporate recruiting, medical school or law school, I have found through my four years as an undergraduate that a psychology major can indeed be practical.

A Bit of Full Fare Wisdom

By Dong Shen | May 29, 1995

Iwas sitting alone enjoying (though enjoy is not the most appropriate word when dealing with college dining) a meal at Full Fare early in the dinner cycle.

A New Sorority is Not the Solution

By John Strayer | May 26, 1995

This week five senior women, all past presidents of their respective sororities, called for "Sex Equity in the Greek System." As they elaborated their point at a forum Tuesday night it became clear that these women want the administration to make the formation of a new sorority a priority. Yet one obvious question needs to be answered: does sex equity in the Greek system translate into sex equity on the campus in general?
