Health for a Nicaraguan Hospital

By Rachel Wellner | November 10, 1994

Upon arrival in Ocotal, a rural Nicaraguan village, I distinctly recall experiencing a surreal mix of smells, sounds and visions. It was clear that I had entered a culture vastly different from my own.

From a Personal Perspective

By Monica Oberkofler | November 9, 1994

Many students undoubtedly know of Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel's public address in Spaulding Auditorium two weeks ago. Fewer perhaps realize that his speech was the highlight of a weekend-long international conference on the Holocaust.

O' Christmas tree on the Green

By David Siff | November 9, 1994

In about a month, the College's Christmas tree will be displayed on the Green. This tree will cost up to $4,000 -- the money coming from the President's discretionary fund -- and will be erected on the middle of the Green, a privilege shared only by the bonfire and the snow sculpture. The College does not erect any other religious symbols; the town does not allow any other religious symbols to be permanently erected on the Green.

25 To Life: Not Good Enough

By Amy Coughlin | November 4, 1994

Reading Kevin Walsh's Column, "18 Months For Murder" (Oct. 31), about the man who was sentences only 18 months for killing his wife, prompted me to share another example of such an injustice. I used to be against the death penalty.

Read First-Year Report to Understand Proposals

By Alyse Kornfeld | November 4, 1994

To the Editor: The First-Year Experience Committee report was issued in May of 1994. The follow-up summary was released two weeks ago. Some students think that the report is about "Freshman Dorms," "new meal plans" or "changing the name of the Freshman Office." To narrow it down to these simplicities is to let mis-information stifle a very important debate.

Let The System Live On

By Jim Brennan | November 4, 1994

Before I start, I'd like to qualify my opinions by noting that I am not a member of a Greek organization. I am speaking as someone who has formed his opinions on fraternities, sororities and co-ed houses through interaction with friends, parties that I have attended and from events of which I have heard. In my two years at Dartmouth, I have become convinced that too many people disparage and criticize the Greek system without an adequate understanding of its many different positive aspects.

STD should not be a women's issue

By Claire Unis | November 3, 1994

There is a sexually transmitted disease called chlamydia that you might have right now. In 79 percent of women who have it, according to one study, there are no symptoms, but the ultimate effects include infertility, premature births, stillbirths and ectopic pregnancies.

Salary Discrepancies, Sexism the Cause?

By Brian Sung | November 2, 1994

Recently, The New York Times reported that two separate studies had shown that, on average, men whose wives stayed home and didn't work received more pay raises and substantially higher salaries than men whose wives did work. The first study, of 348 men at 20 Fortune 500 companies, found that over a five-year period, single-earner husbands received 20 percent higher pay raises than men with working wives.

Students' Right to Speak at Public Forum

By Rosalind Lee | November 1, 1994

To the Editor: I was disheartened to see the column by Allison Krasnow (Oct. 27, 'Listen to be Heard') criticizing Dartmouth students who spoke at a forum on sexual harassment charges at the elementary school in Hanover.

Change Dining Punches

By Andy Schader | November 1, 1994

This past weekend I traveled to Harvard to visit a friend. Since it was the first time we had seen each other since going off to college, we naturally conversed on the various positive and negative aspects of our respective schools.
