Tubestock festivities pass without incident

By Mark Henle | July 26, 2005

Although hundreds of undergraduates descended upon the Connecticut River Saturday for Tubestock, the annual Summer term festivity concluded without major incident. According to College Proctor Harry Kinne, several students suffered minor injuries but no Dartmouth students were arrested or picked up by Safety and Security. Because the College does not sponsor the off-campus event, only four Safety and Security officers were assigned special duties -- two on a rescue boat and two controlling access to parking by the Ledyard Canoe Club. "It's not a college event but our main concerns are student safety," Senior Associate Dean of the College Daniel Nelson said.

Government professor advises Sudanese on democracy

By Mark Henle | July 5, 2005

While most professors were spending the first week of May in their classrooms, government professor John Carey embarked on a different kind of teaching mission, instructing members of the recently victorious Sudan People's Liberation Movement how to establish an autonomous democratic legislature. After 20 years of fighting, the Sudanese government has ceded roughly one-third of Africa's largest country to the SPLM, leaving the guerilla army with the arduous task of converting its leadership council into the viable regional government stipulated under the peace agreement. Carey joined two other political scientists, one from South Africa and another from Nigeria, to put on the five-day workshop organized by the International Republican Institute, a group dedicated to "advancing democracy, freedom, self-government and the rule of law worldwide." According to Carey, the workshop had the same tenor as a Dartmouth classroom. "It was kind of like a classroom except these guys were even more attentive than Dartmouth students because they have a lot more at stake," Carey said. While Carey said he believes that the members of the SPLM are committed to developing some form of representative government, he is not overly optimistic about their chances of doing so in the near term. "The challenges that these guys face are so overwhelming," Carey said.
