Dartmouth senior Owen Gottlieb has become a familiar face in U. Magazine, a colorful national magazine that is freely-distributed every month on college campuses across the country. After appearing in a profile in last month's issue, Owen's name appeared again.
Touchdown! Dartmouth has scored again, the band strikes up the fight songs and although the crowd links arms to sing "Glory to Dartmouth" at the end, few know the words to the three songs played before it. Yes, those three songs have words -- but unlike past generations of students, most of today's fans do not know them. Athletic Director Dick Jaeger '59 recalled how students used to join in the singing and make themselves heard in a "surge of support" for the team.
Many a high school or college student has agonized over reading the plays of Shakespeare, but the students working on Dartmouth's Shakespeare Project are helping some kids to get ahead by introducing them to Shakespeare early -- in elementary school. "It's a new area for START, " said Liza Tedeschi '95, a junior intern for Student Teachers in the Arts, and Director of the new Shakespeare in the Schools Project. START , part of Hopkins Center Outreach and Arts Education, is a program which brings Dartmouth students into local schools to work with children.
