Greeks receive service awards

By Rebecca Oettinger | November 11, 1993

The Office of Residential Life honored Greek houses for community service and other achievements Monday night at the eighth annual Co-ed, Fraternity and Sorority Award Ceremony. Co-ed Fraternity Sorority Council President Mark Daly '94 and the CFSC executive committee helped ORL present five awards in areas such as leadership, scholarship, recycling and community service. "This is done in recognition of good work which sometimes goes overlooked in co-ed, fraternity and sorority organizations," said Dean of Residential Life Mary Turco. She said the awards presentation is "an opportunity to say thanks and congratulate students that have tried to lead organizations and address the College's hopes that these social organizations will support rather than confound the academic purpose of the College." The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the O'Connor Cup, which ORL awarded to Delta Delta Delta sorority for the house's outstanding achievement in the areas of leadership, scholarship and programming in 1993. The award was presented by Hanover Police Officer Christopher O'Connor in memory of his father Proctor John O'Connor.

By Amy Hatch | November 11, 1993

Organizers of Students Fighting Hunger are preparing for annual Hunger Awareness Week by scheduling events to raise money and canned goods and trying to inform the Dartmouth community about the problems of poverty around the world.

Opinion

Referendumb

By The Dartmouth | November 10, 1993

This Thursday, at the request of the Student Assembly, students will vote in a referendum on the future of single-sex Greek organizations. It is important to gauge popular opinion on a widely-debated issue that directly affects students' lives. But the referendum proposed by Student Assembly Vice President Steve Costalas '94 is not designed for to get an accurate measure of what students think about the Greek system. The survey reveals much more about Dartmouth student government than it could ever reveal about student opinion. Costalas, a member of Kappa Chi Kappa fraternity, is pro-Greek.

By Fiona Koper | November 10, 1993

Thanks to a collegiate contest sponsored by AT&T, more than 30 Dartmouth students have 500,000 mock dollars at their beck and call. Dartmouth's team is competing against 15,000 students and teachers nationwide in an investment contest that "simulates real life exactly," said Jim Hall '94, captain of the College's team. The competitors have 24-hour telephone access to a central trading unit that allows them to buy and sell stocks on several exchange markets, team member Rob Manly '94 said. The "AT&T Collegiate Investment Challenge," created by Replica Corporation and sponsored by AT&T, Pontiac and Texas Instruments, began in mid-October, and will run until Dec.

Men's tennis finishes fall season at Rolex Invitational

By Amy Hatch | November 10, 1993

Despite a slow start at the beginning of the season, the Big Green men's tennis team ended with a strong performance last weekend at the Rolex Tournament in Princeton, N.J. "As a team we struggled for a lot of the fall, but at Rolex the guys in the main draw really played well," Captain Dan Coakley '94 said. Entering the tournament seeded third, Coakley was especially pleased with his second place finish, which qualified him for the National Indoors, which will be held Feb, 3-6 in Dallas, Texas. Jim Rich '96 and Holden Spaht '96 also competed at the Rolex and performed well, making it to the round of 16 players, according to Coach Chuck Kinyon. "Overall we had a great weekend," Kinyon said.

Penn football, Big Green women's soccer are weekend focus; Dartmouth must wait for Quaker loss to fulfill hopes for fourth consecutive Ivy League title

By Scott Anthony | November 10, 1993

Stop me if you've heard this one before. The Dartmouth football team entered the fourth quarter trailing (stop!) Columbia by four points before turning on the turbo boosters and blowing past the unusually roaring Lions. Jay and the Miracles have now gone to the fourth quarter with a lead just twice -- against Yale and Bucknell -- but are still riding a four-game winning streak to stretch their record to 5-3 overall, 4-1 in the Ivy League. What a fun, freaky team.

SA debates condoms

By Maggie Fritz | November 10, 1993

The Student Assembly passed a motion last night asking the Office of Residential Life to investigate current methods of condom distribution on campus. Until recently, condoms were available to students at Dick's House free of charge, but the cost of offering free condoms became too much for the Health Service's budget. Distribution of free condoms last year cost the College around $10,000, according to Assembly member Kenji Sugahara '95.

Caracas ballet combines classic and modern dance

By Richard Owen | November 10, 1993

The Ballet Nacional de Caracas deftly moved from the classical to the modern in a visually and artistically captivating performance in Spaulding Auditorium last night. Authentically rendering classical styles in compelling solos and duets in the first two sections, the performance took a sharp and bold turn in the final section presenting a contemporary Venezuelan backdrop with an unusual fusion of modern and traditional choreography. Brilliantly donned in multi-color lycra and fluorescent capes, a core group of three men and four women started off the three part performance with the highly methodical and seemingly ill-suited excerpts of Handel's "Water Music" and "The Royal Fireworks." Despite the stilted style and continual cadencing of Handel, the young dancers presented one flowing scene after another, interspersing solo dance numbers with provocative duets, commanding a high level of grace and elegance. Set to the Viennese like music of Venezuelan composer, Teresa Carreno, in the second part, the initial group was joined by two more couples.

College may kill Budapest FSP

By Siobhan Gorman | November 10, 1993

A faculty committee will consider a recommendation to eliminate the College exchange program to Budapest University of Arts and Social Sciences in Hungary. The program, which sends students to the university to study government, economics and history, is not sponsored by a single department like most of the College's Foreign Study Programs, and administrators say that without the support of one department, the exchange program has suffered. The primary problem with the program is "that there is no departmental home for it," said George Wolford, the dean of faculty of the social sciences. A group of professors, including Economics Professor Lee Baldwin met with Dean of Faculty James Wright last year and recommended ending the Budapest program. "We decided that it wasn't viable from our end.

Students watch NAFTA debate

By Chris Kim | November 10, 1993

The Conservative Union at Dartmouth and the Young Democrats held a rare joint session last night as both groups gathered in Streeter Hall basement to watch the televised debate about the North American Free Trade Agreement. The debate featured Vice President Al Gore defending the agreement against attacks from Texas billionaire Ross Perot on CNN's "Larry King Live." Most of the students watching the debate said they thought Gore made a more persuasive case than Perot. Two CUaD members said Gore won, but CUaD member Thomas Guevin '95 said he felt the Congressional vote in eight days will not be influenced by this debate. "Gore won the debate, but the war in the House is yet to begin, and the opponents in the House are in a different class than Ross Perot," Guevin said. Ryan Boyle '97, a CUaD member, said, "Vice President Gore gave an excellent, very balanced argument for NAFTA.
