Film Society presents 'Iron Will' in tribute to J. M. Hayes

By Jack Vaitayanonta | January 10, 1994

The Dartmouth Film Society honored John Michael Hayes, a Hollywood screenwriter and professor of Film Studies at the College in a tribute which included a sneak preview of his exciting new film, "Iron Will" in Spaulding Auditorium last Saturday. Hayes has long been regarded as one of the film industry's most talented and distinguished screenwriters, best known for his collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock in the 1950s on such films as "Rear Window" and "The Man Who Knew Too Much." Before his work with Hitchcock, Hayes had an extensive career writing for radio and screen and was known for the ability to adapt important plays and novels which were judged to be unfilmable. Hayes' work is known for its strong dialogue, character depth, classic structure, wit and humanity.

Prof speaks about water

By Jordy Urstadt | January 7, 1994

In an era of perpetual water shortages in the southwest, Dr. Charles Drake, a professor in the earth sciences department, delivered a timely lecture on water use and management titled "The Colorado River." In the first of a series of nine public lectures on environmental sustainability, Drake presented the scientific aspects of natural resource management to an audience of 60 yesterday afternoon at the Thayer School of Engineering. Drake recounted the history of water use and management on the Colorado. "Politics reflects public attitudes, and the fate of the Colorado is determined by politics," Drake said. He described the career of John Lesley Powell, who made the first attempt at water management on the Colorado in the 1880s. Powell proposed to the Senate in 1888 to settle land according to the potential for irrigation, Drake said, but the prevailing attitude of manifest destiny felt that "water followed the plow." Although the government disregarded Powell's advice, "Powell's legacy lives on," Drake said.

Case of missing bags

By Mary Ellen Moore | January 7, 1994

More than 50 Dartmouth students who flew from Boston to Lebanon last weekend had to wait up to four days to receive their baggage. Northwest and US Air, the major airlines to offer flights between the two cities, anticipated the difficulties in fitting students' holiday baggage and ski equipment on the 19-seat planes that make the trip, said spokesmen from the airlines. US Air planned to fly extra planes carrying only baggage or to use ground transportation to bring the bags to Lebanon, a company spokeswoman said. But Monday's snowstorm prevented planes from leaving Boston's Logan Airport and made the road conditions unsafe for the vans. Northwest Airlines had 200 bags that could not fit in the planes with the passengers, said Jim Lalos, a spokesman for Precision Airlines, a carrier for Northwest.

By Amie Rappoport | January 6, 1994

To the Editor: Having served as a student member on the Campus Center Building Committee since 1991, I feel that the Dartmouth Community may have set standards and expectations for Collis higher than any building could ever live up to.
