House call

Kappa Sigma Gamma fraternity is now called Chi Gamma Epsilon. The local house was sued by Kappa Sigma, a national organization, for trademark infringement. The house was ordered by the New Hampshire district court to change its name. The fraternity dropped out of the Kappa Sigma organization in 1982 and added the. Gamma to its name, believing that was enough to disconnect the group from the national organization. But Chi Gamma Epsilon's legal battles are not over yet. Both Kappa Sigma and Chi Gamma Epsilon claim ownership of the house. A court case is pending.

Meanwhile, Phi Sigma Chi has published an ad in The Dartmouth asking that the public no longer call it a fraternity. The coed house now designates itself a "panarchy," which means "an all inclusive realm or domain."

"Time heals all wounds. Accordingly the six successive defeats you helped inflict upon the Dartmouth basketball team—one of them the worst in our history up to that time are forgiven in today's celebration of your extraordinary career." —President McLaughlin presenting Senator Bill Bradley with an honorary degree. Coeducation has not worked wonderfully well at Dartmouth, whereas single-sex education continues to work beautifully at Wellesley, Smith, and Mount Holyoke. Dartmouth should be the first college to admit its error, terminate the coeducational experience, and become New England's fourth great all-women's college."
