Field hockey upsets New Hampshire

By Brad Parks | October 8, 1993

One of the innate beauties of team sports is that momentum can change so quickly. A week ago, the field hockey team was squirming, trying to figure out how it could eke out so much as a single win after losing five consecutive games by a single goal. How things have changed. On Wednesday, just a few days after snapping that losing streak with a 2-0 win over Yale, the Big Green (3-5 overall, 1-1 Ivy League) won their biggest game of the season with a stunning 2-1 upset of the University of New Hampshire, the nation's 17th-ranked team. "We didn't play so differently from the way we were playing when we lost the last few games," Coach Julie Dayton said.

Feeling neglected, Reform SA! group challenges Artzer

By Scott Anthony | October 8, 1993

Sometimes campaign promises don't work out exactly as planned and sometimes they don't work out at all. During Student Assembly elections last year, candidates capitalized on a surge of student dissatisfaction by promising an Assembly that would help the students rather than push personal political agendas. President Nicole Artzer '94 and a group of 15 Assembly members called Reform SA!

All of our social ills cannot be blamed on frats

By Brandon Del Pozo | October 8, 1993

Well, the decision has been made: I am an official Frat Boy. I was almost deterred by those well-thought out posters that were hanging around campus, as there message was very clearly reasoned: "Rush -- and become another f**king Dartmouth frat boy." Wow -- with persuasive arguments like that, I was almost tempted to join the poster-hangers! I'm sure you're all wondering what secret ceremonies go on inside the hallowed halls of frat row.

Early SA politicking is reprehensible

By Kishan Putta | October 8, 1993

After attending the most bureaucratic Student Assembly meeting I have yet to take part in this past Tuesday, my frustrations focused on two points. One involves the "ad hoc committee on procedure" which has been much publicized this past week in The Dartmouth.

Paley graces class with experience

By Maggie Fritz | October 7, 1993

Seeking to show a new generation of writers how to "light up the darkness" with their words, renowned poet and short story writer Grace Paley is teaching a senior seminar in poetry writing this term. Paley, the author of a collection of short stories called "Enormous Changes at the Last Minute" and numerous anthologies of poetry, teaches English 85, a workshop in which students read works in progress to Paley and the other members of the class, who then critique the writing. The class, Paley said, allows students to receive the practice and attention writers need to improve. "What people need if they're a writer is to write," Paley said.

Fraternities welcome members

By Siobhan Gorman | October 7, 1993

While some fraternities are reporting strong pledge classes after last week's rush activities, many houses have fewer new members this fall than last. Final statistics for this term's rush class are not yet available, but leaders of the College's Interfraternity Council said this year's pledge class is strong. Kenji Sugahara '95, rush chair for the IFC, said he was pleased with the rush results in general, but he said rush week was marred by the anti-Greek posters and slogans displayed around campus. "It's okay to try to change someone's mind, but there is a set standard to go by which shows respect for other people," Sugahara said. Alpha Delta fraternity was one of the houses that has a strong pledge class. Approximately 70 students attended the preliminary rush parties for AD.

The classified ad in the back of this newspaper read, "Male Models needed for Medical School Course." But do not expect to find ruggedly handsome men strolling runways in the latest surgery fashions. For $50 an hour, models are truly expected to devote their bodies -- at least for a few hours -- to science. "They are simulated patients in the Physical Diagnosis course so that second-year med.

New student group teaches members to share education

By Michelle Fran | October 6, 1993

Students for Excellence in Education, a service support group formed last summer for students interested in education, met for the first time last week at Rockefeller Center. SEE's goal is to create an environment on campus where undergraduates can meet and share resources about education, said Lisa Hacken '95, SEE president. Kevin Lapin '95, a SEE member, said, "I think that a pre-professional group for the teaching profession is an essential first step in making teaching into the well-respected and renumerated profession it should be." The organization plans to make students aware of volunteer and community activities affiliated with the Tucker Foundation and local schools in the Upper Valley near Hanover. SEE will also offer many other services to its members.
