Maathai speaks on African environment

Montgomery Fellow Dr. Wangari Maathai last night told an audience in 105 Dartmouth Hall, "My government does not seem to like what I do ... there were fears that I would not arrive at this beautiful campus." Maathai, considered the leading environmentalist in Africa and the Third World and a controversial political figure in her native Kenya, was recently in hiding there following a government attempt to arrest her. Her visit to the College as a Montgomery Fellow was uncertain only weeks ago, but she spoke last night on "Women's Role in the Environment and Politics in Kenya." Maathai is director of the Green Belt Movement, an environmental organization founded 16 years ago to promote reforestation and expansion of natural fuel resources, and provide income and empowerment for rural workers, who are mostly women. The movement encourages tree-planting to combat malnutrition and the effects of environmental exploitation in rural communities.

Dick Swett evaluates Clinton

Although President Bill Clinton has taken heat from the press for his first 100 days in office, Democratic Congressman Dick Swett Monday night told the Dartmouth community Clinton has done a good job.Speaking to a near-capacity audience in Rockefeller Center, Swett said Clinton has accomplished more in his first 100 days than most past presidents, citing the progress of his government appointments, his proposed budget deficit resolution and advances toward health care reforms. Swett said Clinton took office at a difficult time following 12 years of Republican rule. Clinton had to "overcome 12 years of inertia ... and 12 years of pent-up frustrations from the Democratic Party waiting to enter the White House," Swett said. "Clinton is in good shape," Swett said. Swett commended President Clinton's attempt to balance the budget despite the "deep, obvious, somewhat painful spending cuts" which Swett said were necessary to control the budget deficit. If the deficit continues to escalate at its current rate, Swett said when today's college students enter the work force 45 cents of every tax dollar will be spent on interest associated with the deficit However, Swett said he believes Clinton can make further spending cuts.

Harvard violinist gives concert

Solo violinist Scott Yoo, with flagellating horse hair disengaged by his ferocious bowing, provided an exciting and extremely entertaining performance in Spaulding Auditorium last night. A physics major at Harvard, Yoo won the Young Concert Artists International competition at 17 and has appeared as a soloist with orchestras including Boston Symphony, Modesto and Pasadena Symphonies in California, the Reno Chamber Orchestra and the Virginia Symphony. Yoo has soloed abroad with the Korean Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra in Seoul, the Maracaibo Orchestra and the Orquesta Sinfonica in Venezuela as well as in the Dominican Republic. Yoo, accompanied by Max Levinson on piano, began the program with classic repertoire of Bach and Beethoven Sonati, continued with Saint-Saens and Bazzini in the second half and topped off the performance with an encore transcription of Scott Joplin. Levinson, a junior at Harvard and himself an accomplished solo pianist, performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the age of thirteen and has since performed as soloist, recitalist and chamber musician in New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and Houston. Yoo and Levinson worked very well together, combining the attributes of the piano and violin in an interplay of melody and harmony, which produced an impressive and appealing musical presentation. Yoo and Levinson rendered a very sensitive performance of the Beethoven Sonata No.

Greeks survey campus on system's future

A random group of students from each class received a survey in their Hinman Boxes last month asking about the future of the College's Greek system. The results of the survey, which was distributed by the Greek honor society the Order of Omega, will be published to inform students of campus opinion about the Greek system, according to Clay Adams, president of the Order of Omega. Adams said the poll is designed to measure student attitudes on the Greek system in a completely impartial manner.
