Yong Dems, CUaD debate school vouchers

By David Hemmer | February 22, 1994

In a raucous debate last night, conservatives and liberals squared off on the issue of school voucher programs in front of 40 students in Rockefeller Center. Representatives from the Conservative Union at Dartmouth and the Young Democrats argued the topic "Resolved: Parents should be granted the right to send their children to any school, public or private, using a government-sponsored voucher system or similar plan." The debate, which pitted CUaD's Scott Rowekamp '97 and Bill Hall '96 against David Melaugh '97 and Tim Edgar '94 of the Young Democrats, was often punctuated by angry shouting matches and roars of laughter from the audience. The argument centered around money, segregation and politics. The Young Democrats criticized the voucher system for eroding public schools and causing segregation while helping only a small segment of middle class children. But Rowekamp and Hall disagreed.

Food obsession pervasive among Dartmouth women

By Siobhan Gorman | February 22, 1994

Eating Disorders: The first in a three part series on women's health Fifteen percent of Dartmouth students suffer from eating disorders and 90 percent of these students are female, according to a 1991 survey by the College. The survey asked students if they were suffering from bulimia, anorexia, bulimarexia or compulsive overeating. But Marcia Herrin, coordinator of the College Nutrition Education Program, said she thinks this statistic is very low. "People often don't realize that they have eating disorders themselves," Herrin said on Sunday. Although for many women eating disorders begin before coming to Dartmouth, some fear that existing pressures and attitudes could cause a relapse. Barclay Stone '97 suffered from anorexia in high school.

Norwich's Jasper Murdock's brews its own beer

By Colin Grey | February 22, 1994

Students looking for a more refined beer drinking experience can now head to Jasper Murdock's Alehouse in Norwich, Vt., which serves home-brewed beer. Murdock's is located in the Norwich Inn and seats approximately 35 patrons in an English atmosphere, said Tim Wilson, who runs the pub. "It's a nice little fraternity of people who know good beer and enjoy good beer," Wilson said. For Wilson, who has been brewing beer as a hobby for five or six years, becoming the owner of a pub which brews its own beer was an easy transition. "Brewing is an awful lot of fun, and it took a very small investment to open a brewery in an existing restaurant," Wilson said. The pub already boasts regular customers, who can choose from a variety of beers from the pub's three taps every day.

Men's hockey splits

By Colin Grey | February 21, 1994

This weekend Big Green hockey players reached deep down into their collective pockets and pulled out one word: character. The battered team showed character by rebounding from a heartbreaking 5-4 overtime loss to Harvard University Friday evening to defeat Brown University by the same margin Saturday. The team showed character by doing something which it has not been able to do all season: prove it can play 60 solid minutes of hockey two nights in a row. "I was really proud of how we played," said Dion Del Monte '95, who had his best weekend of the year.

'Coyote Ugly' has stunning debut

By Joe Marcheso | February 21, 1994

With all the action going on in The Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts, it would have been easy to overlook the student-directed play that held three performances in the Collis Common Ground Friday through Sunday. But "Coyote Ugly," written by Lynn Siefert and directed by Pavol Liska '95, rewarded the inquisitive and out-going audience with an extremely powerful production. The story involves an Arizonan family, whose incestuous tendencies interfere with almost all of their relationships.
