One-On-One Education Ends Racism

By Chin Yoo | March 1, 1996

Even after all that's happened this term, all the rallies, speeches, columns, flyers, manure dumpings, administration promises and BlitzMail announcements, even after the activists have spoken, some people still have their eyes closed to some bare, hard facts, which, whether you like it or not, need to be recognized. First of all, everyone has a right to hold whatever beliefs they want.

Bollinger delivers talk on speech codes, rights

By Chin Yoo | May 24, 1995

Provost Lee Bollinger, an expert on First Amendment issues, spoke last night about speech codes and the rights of students at private institutions. Bollinger gave his speech, titled "First Amendment Rights at Private Institutions," to about 40 people in the 1930s room of the Rockefeller Center for the Social Sciences. He said speech codes seem to be dying out even though they are not only allowed, but are required in terms of wise policy. "Over the past 10 years many colleges and universities have moved to enact speech codes," he said. Speech codes "must exist, but they are incredibly difficult to write," he said.

'Seinfeld,' 'E.R.'?A question some ask

By Chin Yoo | April 26, 1995

Every Thursday night around 9, Dartmouth students interrupt their diligent studying to make a weekly pilgrimage to their cluster television rooms, lured by the hope of procrastination, socializing and, of course, free food. They gather for a Dartmouth institution as quintessential as a cappella groups and Sunday night cramming -- the "Seinfeld" study break. But even "Dartmouth institutions" can change. This winter, the River cluster switched its study breaks from the hit comedy to the drama "E.R.," becoming the first cluster to make the big switch. "We changed to 'E.R.' because it was our impression that the show had become more popular than 'Seinfeld,' at least among the residents in the River," Undergraduate Advisor Dave Hemmer '96 said.

SA to tackle Commencement move

By Chin Yoo | April 19, 1995

The Student Assembly unanimously voted last night to conduct a BlitzMail poll asking seniors whether they would prefer to have Commencement ceremonies on the Green or at Memorial Field. "It seems that a lot of seniors have complained they were left out of the process," Assembly Vice President John Honovich '97 said."This is something that will put seniors directly in the process." The College decided to move Commencement from the lawn in front of Baker Library --where it has been held for the past 42 years -- to Memorial Field due to President Bill Clinton's visit.

SA Execs call for Baker ceremonies

By Chin Yoo | April 17, 1995

The Student Assembly's Executive Committee unanimously passed a resolution last night calling for the College's Commencement ceremony to be moved back to the Baker Library lawn from Memorial Field and for graduates and their families to be given seating priority. "The purpose of the resolution is to acknowledge that this is meant to honor members of the graduating class," Assembly President Rukmini Sichitiu '95 said. Acting President James Wright announced last week Commencement would be moved from Baker Lawn to Memorial Field in order to accommodate the large crowds expected due to President Bill Clinton's visit.

Few reserve readings are on-line

By Chin Yoo | April 13, 1995

Two years ago, the Student Assembly initiated a project to eradicate one of the quintessential Dartmouth experiences: waiting frantically in line and fighting to check out a coveted reading in the Reserve Corridor of Baker Library. Now, legal, technical and other barriers have stopped the Assembly in its quest to enable students to obtain reserve readings on their computer screens from the comfort of their rooms. According to Circulation Services Librarian Pamela Ploeger, a fully functioning on-line database of reserve readings is not a strong possibility in the near future. "All the issues make me believe that it is not a good time to put many library resources towards this project," she said.
