By Christopher Kao | January 12, 1994

The College's Committee On Instruction voted last Thursday to recommend discontinuing a program that allows undergraduates to spend their senior year at the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration or the Dartmouth Medical School. Lack of student interest and curriculum changes prompted the recommendation, which will be made to the entire faculty at its meeting this spring.

Webster gets $10M renovation

By Timothy Fitzgibbons | January 12, 1994

A planned $10 million renovation project will convert Webster Hall into a library and study space and provide more room for the College's overflowing libraries. Baker Library's Special Collections will move into Webster Hall, which will contain four or five floors of stacks inside a "glass enclosed peninsula" surrounded by desks and chairs for students, Facilities Planning Director Gordon DeWitt said. The project will begin as soon as the College raises the money, DeWitt said.

Women's basketball wins fifth straight

By Camille Powell | January 12, 1994

Monday night's 76-69 win over Boston University looked like deja vu all over again for the Big Green women's basketball players, and they're beginning to like the feeling. The team's fifth straight win was another come-from-behind blindsiding of a team that didn't know what hit it until the final buzzer sounded. Dartmouth scored the game's final 11 points to erase a four-point deficit with the help of eight points from Ilsa Webeck '94, who finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds for her third consecutive double-double. But the real catalyst in the game was, once again, a dynamic freshmen class that has ridden a wave of confidence all the way to installing Dartmouth as the Ivy League's hottest team. The wave began back in November when Jen Pariseau hit a three-pointer the first three times she touched the ball against Vermont.

By Brad Parks | January 12, 1994

For a few brief, tantalizing moments in last night's 87-82 loss to the University of Vermont, the men's basketball team showed the world on the floor of Leede Arena a few glimpses of the future. Sea Lonergan '97 scored 20 and was perfect in three tries from three-point land.

Lone Pine obtains liquor license

By Scott Anthony | January 12, 1994

Beer will be on tap at the Lone Pine Tavern for the first time tonight, and for now the doors are open to students of all ages. The tavern, in the basement of the Collis Center, received its state liquor license yesterday but could not serve alcohol because there was not a full staff, Collis Cafe Manager Cynthia Crutchfield said. Because of questions about the feasibility of enforcing the legal drinking age, administrators were originally not sure if the tavern would be open to all students, or just those 21 and older. But Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia said all students will be allowed into the pub as long as under-age drinking does not become a problem. "We are counting on students' cooperation," she said.

Survey questions classroom equity

By Jordy Urstadt | January 11, 1994

The Women's Studies Program will distribute a survey to students enrolled in Women's Studies courses later this term to investigate the way perceived race, gender, class and sexual orientation differences are treated in the classroom. "We are trying to find out how to better integrate issues of diversity in the classroom," said Diane Taylor, co-chair of the Women's Studies Program and co-author of the survey. One in a proposed series of surveys, the goal of this questionnaire is to gauge the success of Women's Studies courses in dealing with issues of diversity into its own curriculum and the daily conduct of their classes. A rough draft of the survey, written by Taylor; Ivy Schweitzer, an English Professor and co-chair of the Women's Studies Program; and Anne Brooks, Women's Studies Program coordinator, was given to two Women's Studies courses last fall. "The fall survey was very repetitive," Taylor said.

Women's hockey splits weekend games

By Amy Henry | January 11, 1994

The women's hockey team suffered a disturbing fall from the high of having beaten the country's number one team, losing to key Eastern College Athletic Conference rival Princeton 2-1 Saturday. The Big Green recovered on Sunday with an easy 8-1 trampling of Yale to push their record to 5-4-1 overall. Still, the loss to Princeton was a considerable setback in the team's bid to defend its Ivy League title. The game was a battle to the final moments, but those final moments belonged to the Tigers, who banged the game-winning goal into the net in the final minute of play to beat Dartmouth for the first time in two years. Malaika Little '97 scored Dartmouth's lone goal midway through the second period. "I think we let down a little at the end," Coach George Crowe said.

Green Card honored at 14 stores

By David Sadoff | January 11, 1994

The Hanover Green Card, which gives students a declining balance account to use at local restaurants, had a successful Fall term and now serves 14 area businesses. "The card is doing better than I ever imagined and it's continuing to grow," said Mitch Jacobs '94, founder and owner of the company. Jacobs founded the card at the beginning of Fall term because he said he felt students would be more willing to spend money at local restaurants than at Dining Services facilities if there was an easy, cashless method. In the last few weeks, the Hanover Green Card added Foodee's Pizza, Co-op Food Store, Co-op Service Station, Chez Francoise, and Subway to the list of Hanover establishments accepting the card. Other Hanover establishments accepting the Green Card include EBA's, Videostop, Panda House Delivery and 5 Olde Nugget Alley. Students with the card put money into an account operated by Hanover Green Card, Inc. The money in this account can then be used at participating restaurants similar to the declining balance system of Dining Services. To begin using the card, students must pay $235: $75 deposit, an initial declining balance of $150 and a $10 per term fee. In the first week of Winter term, the Hanover Green Card has accepted more than 50 new student applications. "The businesses and the students are happy with the service," Jacobs said.
