Travels in Africa

By Allison Sciortino | November 22, 1993

World traveler Patrick Giantonio led audience members on a journey through Africa Thursday night as he narrated "Footsteps into Change," a film presentation of his five-year walk from Kenya to Cameroon. Giantonio traveled to Africa five years ago to find out "why is the quality of life declining in Africa and what, if any, role can we play in the solution?" With only two donkeys to keep him company, Giantonio walked during the day and arrived in a different village each night, where he said he was warmly welcomed by villagers. Although African lives are plagued with devastation, Giantonio said he was inspired to see their "age-old energy and spirit," which he said brought a festive spirit to the villages he visited. During his tour, Giantonio said he realized that he had many misconceptions about the United States' role in Africa and the issues of overpopulation and poverty. Before the walk, Giantonio said he thought the U.S.

By Tyler Newby | November 22, 1993

It is no secret that Dartmouth students have an addiction to time. Everywhere you look, students, and occasionally professors and administrators, are stumbling around campus running into stationary objects and tripping down stairs.

By Colin Grey | November 22, 1993

Graham reveals the 'Dartmouth Story'

By Allison Sciortino | November 22, 1993

Anyone who has crossed the Green alone at night and listened for the laughter and footsteps of past Dartmouth students in the rustling leaves should read Robert Graham's "The Dartmouth Story." The book, published in 1990, was given to incoming freshman at convocation, but is a good read for anyone that has spent time at the College. While leading the reader on a historical tour of the Dartmouth campus, Graham first explains the history of the College and then reveals interesting facts such as the origins of the College's name and motto, former functions of the Colleges' buildings and the stories behind campus traditions such as 4 o'clock tea at Sanborn Library. Graham discovered these hidden aspects of the College through fours years of intense research and 20 years of casual questioning. The author begins his proverbial tour at Dartmouth Row, which he refers to as the "crown jewel" of the campus.

Big Green save the best for last; Dartmouth comes from behind against Princeton, but Penn does the same with Cornell for league title

By Brad Parks | November 22, 1993

In an encore that befit the brilliance he displayed so frequently throughout his college career, Jay Fiedler '94 pushed the Dartmouth football team beyond ridiculous to utter lunacy one final time. Just when it seemed Mr. Wunderwing had finally run out of miracles, he came up with the most improbable resurrection of a ludicrous season as he threw for two touchdowns and rushed for one more in the final 8 minutes, 34 seconds of Saturday's battle for second place with Princeton to lead Dartmouth from a 14-point deficit to a 28-22 stunning of the Tigers. The final clash of the Ivy League's two once-in-a-decade superstars -- Fiedler and Princeton running back Keith Elias --netted a game worthy of all its considerable billing. But in the end The Gunner bested The Runner for the third straight year as Fiedler came up with all the answers while Elias, for all his shredding of Dartmouth's limp-along defensive line, could only stare with the same incredulous amazement as the other 9,120 spectators at a magnificent manifestation of one individual's will to win and the efforts of an entire team to equal that intensity. To be sure, Elias owned the first three quarters of the game, but as he has proven all year, Fiedler only needs one quarter to win a football game.

'Soft-porn' in Spare Rib was offensive to me

After reading last week's issue of Spare Rib, I thought of my childhood. I remembered when my parents would go out for the evening and hire a baby-sitter to watch my younger sister and me. The minute my parents left the house, my sister and I would begin to misbehave.

Hunger vigil on Green

By Colin Grey | November 19, 1993

More than 30 people gathered on the Green last night for a candlelight vigil to reflect on world hunger. Many people at the vigil had also participated in a 24-hour "Fast for a World Harvest," which ended with a "Break-the-Fast-Dinner" at Food Court following the vigil. The dinner was the final event in the Tucker Foundation's Hunger Awareness Week. Despite the hand-numbing cold, students and professors came to share stories and reflect on personal experiences with the problem of hunger. "We've been fasting as a symbol that amid the plenty in which we live, so many others are hungry," Rabbi Daniel Siegel said.

But saddled with a 2-13 record after their losses to Harvard and Yale at the Ivy League tournament this past weekend and a winless record in Ivy League competition, the team has managed to maintain not only their competitive attitude but has struggled through a seemingly endless stream of difficulties. The season's high point came when the team traveled to St.
