Advising comes under fire, but may see only minor changes

By Melissa Marroncelli | October 21, 1993

Despite complaints that the College's advising system leaves students afloat without an adviser between freshman year and the declaration of their major during the spring of sophomore year, administrators say they currently have no concrete plans to overhaul the system. But they are looking to make small changes in the advising resources available to students after freshman year, according to Dean of Upperclass Students Dan Nelson. Nelson said the College is working on a way to make advising more accessible to upperclass students, so that all students know where to go for advice.

The advisers' view of the Greek system

By John Engleman | October 20, 1993

As advisers to the Greek system at Dartmouth, we find the argument of those who oppose the single sex organizations to be arrogant and intolerant. The fraternities and sororities cannot be all the things to all people, nor do they claim to be.

Students need free condoms

By Andrew Smith | October 20, 1993
