Mankiller speaks on her role as chief

|

Wilma Mankiller, the first woman to lead a major Northern American Indian tribe, said last night her greatest challenge as chief was to get people to believe in themselves. Mankiller addressed a crowd that overfilled 105 Dartmouth Hall and left only standing room. Mankiller, who became the Cherokee Nation's principal chief in 1987, compared her job to that of a Chief Executive Officer running a small country. She said her job as principal chief was to provide education, health care and day care subsidies.

Rhinehart '95 upstaged by special news report

|

Just before Dave Rinehart '95 was to place his winning bid on a $900 prize package of a doormat and pair of lamps on the Price is Right last Thursday, President Bill Clinton broke into the broadcast with a special news report. Rinehart won a six-day trip to Australia in the Check-out game while the President told of the United States mistakenly shooting down two of its own helicopters over Iraq. Viewers never saw Rinehart on the show again. Rinehart, who filmed the show during a Spring Break trip with the Aires a capella group, is now in Germany on a Foreign Study Program and could not be reached for comment. "Indeed he had won a number of outstanding things," said David Rinehart, Dave's father, in a phone interview.

Opinion

Stand for Morals Today

|

The Trustees claim they were in a tight spot this weekend. But really, they were in a key spot. They had the chance to make a difference and instead gave the College the go-ahead to remain exactly as it is: fearful and hostile toward its own gay, lesbian and bisexual community. In their statement, the Trustees asked for sympathy because they were called upon to "make an unconscionable choice as to which students to disadvantage" - the gay, lesbian and bisexual students or those involved in the Reserve Officer's Training Corps.

What now for Gays and ROTC

|

I have personally invested a considerable amount of time and effort in doing my part to ensure that the future of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps remains secure here at Dartmouth. Naturally many people including myself are happy that the Trustees have voted to keep the program on campus.

Men's lax downs Cornell in OT

|

The biggest difference between this year's men's lacrosse team and those from the last few years can be summed up in one word. Confidence. That was perfectly illustrated on Saturday afternoon as the Big Green won their sixth straight game, edging Cornell 12-11 in overtime. Dartmouth held an 11-7 lead with seven minutes left in regulation, only to have Cornell explode for four goals to force the extra period. It was a scenario all too familiar for the players who weathered last year's 3-9 season, which featured several fourth quarter collapses.
