'Womyn' post stickers

By Steve Hoffman | July 16, 1993

A group of approximately 10 students plastered the campus Sunday night with stickers proclaiming "womyn are everywhere" in an effort to draw attention to women's issues and to provide Dartmouth with a radical voice, one member of the group said. The group attached the white stickers with plain black letters to buildings, bathroom walls, sign posts, windows and other locations around campus including the backs of cars parked in several fraternity parking lots. "By printing a fact on a sticker, we turned the message into a symbol; a symbol which strikes each person differently," said one woman who put up the stickers and who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The sticker's ambiguous message was intentional, she said. "They don't really say anything specific and yet they say a lot," the woman said.

By Angela Crossman | July 16, 1993

It's sunny, hot, humid and sticky. You drip with sweat and smell like you've just finished an All-Star basketball game; instead, you're in New England in the midst of a heat wave.

Eastwood thrilling 'In the Line of Fire'

By Michael Hauser | July 13, 1993

First of all, skeptics of the world, "In the Line of Fire" is not another JFK conspiracy movie. The many references to the untimely demise of the president are included only for their symbolic value, and for the character development of Horton, played by the revered cinematic veteran Clint Eastwood. In his first production since his Academy Award winning "Unforgiven," Eastwood plays a secret service agent in this movie directed by German Wolfgang Petersen. Horton is known among his colleagues as a "dinosaur," having been in the department long enough to have been assigned to defend President Kennedy on that fateful Dallas afternoon in November 1963. Despite earning a legendary reputation for toughness over the years, Horton's career, confidence and personal life were never quite strong enough to overcome his apparent failure to dive in front of the fatal shots purportedly emanating from the book depository across the street. Enter John Malkovich as the antagonist.

By Dawn Conner | July 9, 1993

It was not too long ago that U2 flooded radio stations and heated the summer with its incredible smash "Achtung Baby" and outdoor concert phenomena "Zoo TV Tour." In an amazingly short time, the Irish band has created a new and different album, just in time for another summer.
