Tricky's new album moves to straightforward sound
By Nathan W. Chaney | August 23, 1999In common offhanded fashion, Beck managed to describe with ironic clarity the nature of his goal as an artist in the recent premiere of Talk Magazine. "I'm not interested in making any millennial statements," he said, "I just want to make a dumb party album to have sex to."

Faculty housing raises controversy
By Nathan W. Chaney | August 5, 1999The College is grappling with the town of Hanover over proposed construction plans for the 23 moderately priced homes for Dartmouth faculty near Grasse Road -- a site that is sandwiched between protected wetlands. Members of the Hanover Conservation Commission contend that the proposal -- which aims primarily to provide affordable housing for Dartmouth faculty who are currently forced to live far from campus due to the high cost of Hanover real estate -- is impermissible because it violates both state and local ordinances protecting wetland environments. "There are several houses [in the plan] that are beyond the buffer zone and will actually be constructed on wetland areas," Conservation Commission member Kittie Murray said.
