Separate is unequal

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Minority views lead the way

By Sean Donohue | November 4, 1993

The question of whether or not the single-sex Greek houses should continue to exist has nothing to do with whether or not a majority of the students at Dartmouth like it.

Taking a close look at sororities at Dartmouth

By Nicky Schmidt | November 2, 1993

Flaubert said, "One is not born a woman, one becomes one." This ancient quote seems one worth contemplating in light of recent editorials, articles, discussions and graffiti which have been circulating our campus since the beginning of rush, claiming to analyze the pros and cons of Greek membership and activity. As president of one of the six sororities on campus, I feel compelled to look beyond the graffiti, beyond the finger-pointing articles and beyond the stereotypes to examine the institution which I have arduously dedicated the past year of my life to reshaping, and at the arguments which belittle a system that has been the backbone of the feminist voice I have found at Dartmouth. I would like to begin by addressing some of the women who have resigned or gone inactive this fall.
