By Rachel Cleaves | May 20, 1993

All around the streets of Hanover, students have looked down to knee level to find members of the Dartmouth Solar Racing Team encased in sleek-bodied vehicles. Although it may seem like joy-riding, the team is preparing for the upcoming fifth annual American Tour de Sol, a seven-day solar and electrical car race, which will pass through Hanover next week. The team plans to enter two cars: the electric Equivox and the solar-powered Sun Vox IV.

Dick Swett evaluates Clinton

By Rachel Cleaves | May 4, 1993

Although President Bill Clinton has taken heat from the press for his first 100 days in office, Democratic Congressman Dick Swett Monday night told the Dartmouth community Clinton has done a good job.Speaking to a near-capacity audience in Rockefeller Center, Swett said Clinton has accomplished more in his first 100 days than most past presidents, citing the progress of his government appointments, his proposed budget deficit resolution and advances toward health care reforms. Swett said Clinton took office at a difficult time following 12 years of Republican rule. Clinton had to "overcome 12 years of inertia ... and 12 years of pent-up frustrations from the Democratic Party waiting to enter the White House," Swett said. "Clinton is in good shape," Swett said. Swett commended President Clinton's attempt to balance the budget despite the "deep, obvious, somewhat painful spending cuts" which Swett said were necessary to control the budget deficit. If the deficit continues to escalate at its current rate, Swett said when today's college students enter the work force 45 cents of every tax dollar will be spent on interest associated with the deficit However, Swett said he believes Clinton can make further spending cuts.
