Mass e-mail message alleges misconduct

By Jacob T. Elberg | February 5, 1998

More than 500 students received a BlitzMail message Tuesday and Wednesday in which Brian de Moya '00 alleged he was mistreated by Safety and Security officers and assaulted by a Hanover Policeman Saturday night. De Moya told The Dartmouth last night he had a bruise on his upper right eye socket from being thrown into a concrete wall by the police officer; a cut on his left wrist from being handcuffed; and bruises on his right palm and left knee. Hanover Police Chief Nick Giaccone would not comment other than to say "there was an incident and it is still under investigation." The two Safety and Security officers who initially responded to the complaint also declined to comment last night. De Moya sent a BlitzMail message Monday evening, telling his version of the events, to the members of Alpha Delta fraternity. De Moya's message included his official written response to a Safety and Security investigation of the incident. De Moya also sent the message to Jules Kesner '00 and Takeshi Toyohara '00 who included de Moya's story in their "Generic Good Morning Message" -- a daily message of news and information which is sent to more than 275 students daily. "I feel people should be aware of its occurrence," De Moya wrote. De Moya's message said two Safety and Security officers arrived at the common room of his three-room double in French Hall around midnight Saturday evening, 30 minutes after a party ended there.

Uncommon Threads denied COSO funding

By Kathrin Weston | February 2, 1998

The Committee on Student Organizations denied Winter term funding for Uncommon Threads, a quarterly gender-issues publication, after its application was turned in late. According to Kevin Goldman '99, a member of COSO, the committee's policy is not to consider any applications handed in after deadline. Uncommon Threads -- which came under attack in December for a controversial story describing a woman's first lesbian experience -- believes that the denial of funding had nothing to do with the last term's issue. Assistant Director of Student Activities Linda Kennedy said Uncommon Threads will be able to reapply for COSO funding next term. Khalid Roberts '98, another COSO member, said there is a limited budget of money to be allotted to student publications each term, so the fact that one less publication is being backed will result in slightly higher financial support for the other organizations when the money is redistributed. Publications have to apply for funding each term by submitting recent issues and proposing changes and improvements they hope to make. Based on these applications, Roberts said, COSO funds the publications which have the strongest proposals and are the most established, but he said every group has an equal right to funding. "We'd rather fund, and fund well, than fund every little thing," he said. Last fall, every publication that applied was awarded funding, and this term the number of publications has decreased, he added. "COSO has a strong track record as far as encouraging new student groups.

By Deborah Bernstein | February 2, 1998

Margaret Smith, who came to the College last term as the new coordinator for both Peer Education Programs and Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Programming, said when she initially read her job description she "thought they wrote the job" for her. Smith, who arrived in September after working as an alcohol and sexuality counselor in Worcester, Mass., has jumped right into College life, advising several campus student groups, including the Drug and Alcohol Peer Advisors, Responsible AIDS Information at Dartmouth and the Dartmouth Rainbow Alliance. Smith also coordinates the Peer Education Action Corps, an extensive health education training program offered in the Fall and Spring terms. And she coordinates gay, lesbian and bisexual programming on campus. Smith has been excited by her introduction to the College and its students and staff.

Profs at home in East Wheelock

By Charles Gussow | January 30, 1998

Two professors moved into the East Wheelock last fall with their son and their two dogs. Creative Writing Professor Cleopatra Mathis and Visiting Film Studies Professor Bill Phillips began their stint as live-in advisors to the cluster at the beginning of Fall term. They took over for French and Italian Professor Marianne Hirsch and History Professor Leo Spitzer, who stepped down at the end of last Spring term after a year with the program. Mathis and Phillips intend to complete a three-year term in their house adjoining the cluster and then return to regular teaching duties. The transition to life in the East Wheelock Cluster, while time-consuming, was not as difficult as the two had imagined. "I thought we'd be living in a fishbowl, without any privacy, but it's been quite nice," Phillips said. Even living in close proximity to Alpha Delta and Chi Heorot fraternity houses hasn't presented any problems or unexpected evening events. "The only communication we've had with them was when one brother wanted to know about our electric fence for our dog," Mathis said. Both acknowledged that their positions with the cluster added an enormous amount of work to their lives.
