'Jockwear' abounds at the College

By Allison K. Hoffman | February 21, 1996

Sometimes walking across campus is like swimming in alphabet soup. It's hard to walk 100 yards without seeing a woman with the letters of her Greek house prominently displayed on her sweatshirt or a man wearing a baseball cap emblazoned with his fraternity house's letters. Some students said they have become attached to their jockwear over the years. Jorge Motoshige '96 said his Zeta Psi fraternity hat is well traveled.

Council makes Carnival possible

By Allison K. Hoffman | February 9, 1996

Every year, Winter Carnival is planned and executed with seeming machine-like precision -- a theme is chosen, a poster is designed and selected, t-shirts are processed, a snow sculpture is conceived and shaped in the middle of the Green, and the weekend is filled with ceremonies, dances and fireworks. But most of the Dartmouth community and other visitors who enjoy Carnival each February do not realize the hard work undertaken each year by a group of dedicated students -- the Winter Carnival Council. Tim Chow '96 and Amy Henry '97, co-chairs of the 1996 Winter Carnival Council, have been working furiously for the past several weeks to ensure that the traditions of Carnival come to life this year. "We're both ultimately responsible for everything that's on the Winter Carnival Council," Chow said. Henry joked, "We got sucked in." Last summer, while most Dartmouth students were lying out in the sun and making plans for the next weekend, Chow and Henry began to plan this year's Carnival by choosing a theme. They decided on "'Round the Girdled Earth They Roamed: A Prehistoric Carnival." Over the course of the past months, the council has held weekly meetings to monitor progress.

Safety and Security encourages students to use walking escorts

By Allison K. Hoffman | September 28, 1995

Dartmouth students who use Safety and Security's student-run driving escort service to escape the frigid cold are the targets of a new campaign publicizing walking escorts. Although the green cars and vans that canvas the campus throughout the day and night are often considered the best travel option for students heading home alone, Safety and Security will suggest that students who call for an escort use the walking escort program. "It started out as a walking program," College Proctor Bob McEwen said.

Dedicated to battling sexual assault, Veto '93 helps women

By Allison K. Hoffman | May 9, 1995

When asked to imagine someone who dedicates her life to battling sexual assault, most would imagine a woman ready to use a sword of harsh words and armor of emotional withdrawal to fight male violence. Liza Veto '93, assistant coordinator of the College's Sexual Awareness and Abuse Program, with her warm smile and welcoming personality, in no way resembles this stereotype.

Panelists talk about U.S. culture

By Allison K. Hoffman | May 2, 1995

Six Dartmouth faculty panelists and more than 100 audience members met in the Rockfeller Center for the Social Sciences last night to try to answer the question, "Is there an 'American' culture?" Although the participants in the event, which was moderated by College Chaplain Gwendolyn King, were unable to give a concrete answer to the posed question, they debated with audience members about a variety of issues related to defining and understanding culture in the United States. Each of the six panelists, English Professor William Cook, Freshman Dean Peter Goldsmith, Native American Studies Professor Christopher Jocks, Sociology Professor Deborah King, History Professor Annelise Orleck and Geography Professor Frances Ufkes, approached the subject in a different direction in brief opening speeches. Goldsmith stressed the need to define culture before discussing if it exists.
