A refresher course on college social scenes

By John Strayer | November 19, 1993

In the midst of debate about the social order on campus we tend to overlook some of the best qualities of social life at the College.

But Snapple cans only cost 45 cents

By Brandon Del Pozo | November 19, 1993

Arguably, Dartmouth has the best food available to undergraduates in the country. In fact, the College has won awards for its dining services.

Graduate students are not needed in dorms

By Ethan Ostrow | November 18, 1993

Dartmouth dormitory life has been disturbed by the nuisance of uninvited guests. The Office of Residential Life's pilot program to house graduate students in undergraduate dorms has stealthily infiltrated the domain of students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. What was a contested proposal last year has quietly become a reality, and in the process Dartmouth has lost some of that celebrated collegiate ambiance. The personality of this school is derived from the notion of undergraduate education itself.

Opinion

Referendum is the beginning of debate

By Nicole Artzer | November 16, 1993

Ever since Student Assembly announced the eferendum on single-sex houses in the Greek system, there has been a renewed debate about the best approach in discussing social options. I think this is a good thing.

Allow homosexuals to serve in military

By Brandon Del Pozo | November 16, 1993

As I have a habit of bringing to light, the U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Corps at Dartmouth is in imminent danger of dissolution because in some ways the U.S.

The faculty didn't know enough about the Budapest FSP

By Kerry Whitacre | November 15, 1993

Last Wednesday, a faculty committee voted to end the Budapest Foreign Study Program after eight years of existence.

By The Dartmouth | November 15, 1993

Members of the Board of Trustees told students this weekend that they are not interested in making any decisions about the College's single-sex social organizations.

Making a Dartmouth education worth the price

By John Strayer | November 12, 1993

Over the summer a friend of mine from high school asked me, "How do you justify spending $10,000 more than me every year for college?

Merchants: help students

By Nina Mcadoo | November 11, 1993

I have heard enough from the Hanover merchants about how Topside violates zoning laws, and that the College is trying to put them out of business.

Opinion

SA question doesn't get at problem

By Brandon Del Pozo | November 11, 1993

Regardless of how the referendum turns out, the debate over the Greek system will not end as long as there are drunken students vomiting up their guts in basements and on the street and stealing each other's furniture for fun. We lack a clear analysis of what the problem is, in simple English.

Opinion

Take direct action

By The Dartmouth | November 11, 1993

Today the Student Assembly is conducting a poll to gauge student sentiment on whether single-sex Greek organizations should remain on campus. The poll is not constructive, because the question is weighted in a way that ignores the grey areas of a complex issue, seeking instead an artificial determination of black or white.

Opinion

Equipment shop does not belong in Robinson

By The Dartmouth | November 11, 1993

Student organizations are now filling out requests for available space in the new Collis Center and in Robinson Hall.

Opinion

Trustees voted to make Greeks co-ed 20 years ago

By Ethan Ostrow | November 10, 1993

We sure like to make a lot of noise. Between movements like Reform SA! and Vote YES! we are virtually deafening ourselves with exclamations.

Opinion

Referendumb

By The Dartmouth | November 10, 1993

This Thursday, at the request of the Student Assembly, students will vote in a referendum on the future of single-sex Greek organizations. It is important to gauge popular opinion on a widely-debated issue that directly affects students' lives. But the referendum proposed by Student Assembly Vice President Steve Costalas '94 is not designed for to get an accurate measure of what students think about the Greek system. The survey reveals much more about Dartmouth student government than it could ever reveal about student opinion. Costalas, a member of Kappa Chi Kappa fraternity, is pro-Greek.

On the run from campus po'

By Tyler Newby | November 10, 1993

It's about 1:30 Saturday morning, and you decide to walk home. You may have had a couple of beers, but not enough to intoxicate you.

Opinion

Vote no in Thursday's SA referendum

By David Weinberg | November 9, 1993

I opened my Hinman Box Saturday to find my red cardboard Student Assembly "newsletter." One-fourth of it was a plea that all students vote in the upcoming referendum: "Do you support the continued existence of single-sex fraternities and sororities at Dartmouth?

Opinion

Single-sex houses violate equal opportunity

By John Strohbehn | November 9, 1993

I have been pleased during the last few years that student leaders have spoken out on the issue of whether sororities and fraternities should exist at Dartmouth if they discriminate on the basis of gender.

Opinion

Refendum is beginning of student input on Greeks

By Matthew Berry | November 8, 1993

For the past three years, the Student Assembly told the student body what to think. On issue after issue ranging from supporting the censorship of the Hovey murals to condemning an Oregon state ballot referendum, the Assembly ignored the wishes of its constituents in order to further the members' personal political agendas. On Thursday, the Assembly will ask the student body what it thinks.

Opinion

Moderates left out in the cold on Greek referendum

By John Strayer | November 5, 1993

The proud and mighty Reform SA! sent out the call. They said political bickering was holding the Student Assembly back from doing something productive. Let's do something!" they shouted. The result: a referendum on the Greek system that is so poorly worded as to be utterly pointless and downright stupid. As it now stands on Nov.
