Men's track dominates meet

By Richard Petty | May 16, 1994

The men's track team is in the midst of a brutal triple -- three championship meets in three weeks. After a strong performance at the Heptagonal championships last weekend, the men dominated the New England Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Memorial Stadium this weekend. It was not the individual performances that won it for Dartmouth this weekend -- it was their depth. Of 40 schools, the Big Green contingent was the largest and the deepest, and came out on top with 145 points.

Black out over Green Key

By Maggie Fritz | May 16, 1994

The 73rd Green Key Weekend at the College was interrupted for more than an hour Saturday because of a power loss that shut down electricity throughout most of the campus. Heavy winds brought down a large pine tree on Greensboro Road that collapsed on 13,000-volt power lines at about 1:30 p.m.. The fallen high voltage power lines ignited a brush fire that burned more than a half-acre, the Valley News reported yesterday. According to an employee at the College power plant, the power lines at Dartmouth are tied to the ones on Greensboro Road. When part of the system collapses, it causes "a voltage spike" that triggers connecting lines to shut down, he said. The power outage caused several College buildings including Baker Library and the Collis Center to lose electricity temporarily. The Swinging Steak, a band performing on the Green that afternoon, was also affected by the power outage. Except for the interruption, most Green Key Weekend events went smoothly.

By Ally Hyun | May 16, 1994

COS suspends Cook, Robb-Hearing unlike court scene

By Scott Anthony | May 16, 1994

Kunin explains book

By Rini Ghosh | May 16, 1994

Deputy Secretary of Education Madeleine Kunin spoke to about 50 students and professors about her reasons for writing her autobiography, titled "Living a Political Life," yesterday afternoon. "I think the feminist side of me felt very strongly that women were going to have to explain their lives if we wanted to be role models," she said. Kunin, a former governor of Vermont, said she wrote the book to "really define myself ... and I did it for the people who asked me, 'How did you get into politics?'" The hardest part of writing the book was "letting go of my public and political persona," she said. Kunin said she did not write the autobiography chronologically because "life isn't necessarily chronological." The book starts by describing the day she decided not to run for governor again, Kunin said.

'Helldorado' theme: first in 73 years

By Scott Anthony | May 13, 1994

For the first time in its 73-year history, Green Key Weekend has a theme but Director of Student Planning Linda Kennedy said this is not a "monumental decision." The Programming Board, which Kennedy advises instituted the theme -- "Helldorado." The Programming Board has a hand in almost every event on campus this weekend and master-minded the planning of Saturday's festivals on the Green. Chair of the Programming Board's Green Key Planning Committee Kerri Cavanaugh '95 said the committee decided to have a theme so Saturday's events would not "be simply 'the event on the Green.'" Kennedy said she has been planning a trip West with her family and has come across summer festivals in the West called "Helldorado." She said she suggested it to the committee and they decided to try it.

Alumni reminisce about auctions and good times

By Colin Grey | May 13, 1994

O, but Green Key Weekend has grown tame indeed! Soon younger alumni and students will begin celebrating the legendary party weekend, but as with most legends, past splendors have faded into a far more boring present. Though they try hard, today's revellers can not begin to match the hard-partying ethic of their forbears. "My recollection only is that Green Key was the best," Gordon Thomas '49 said.
