Diane M. Harper, director of the Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Research Group at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, warned that negative consequences may arise from making the human papilloma virus vaccine mandatory, the American Chronicle reported yesterday. Harper, who has spent more than 20 years studying HPV, noted that requiring the vaccine for girls under 18 may increase the chance of developing cervical cancer later in life. The HPV vaccine may wear off when women are older, making them more susceptible to the cancer. Since no tests of the vaccine's effectiveness on young girls have been conducted, it is also possible that adverse effects may result due to the vaccine's interactions with other vaccines administered to girls that age.

Former Connecticut Democratic senatorial candidate Ned Lamont visited Dartmouth on Nov. 30 to endorse presidential candidate Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn. Lamont spoke to a small gathering of students at Hinman Forum about his experiences as an underdog candidate in 2006 and applauded Dodd's involvement in the Peace Corps and his ability to connect with voters. While he supports Dodd, Lamont said he was proud of all Democrats and encouraged students to vote Democrat. Lamont defeated Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., in the senatorial primary election in 2006, but lost to Lieberman, who ran as an independent, in the general election. Lamont now serves as a fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics and as an adjunct faculty member at Central Connecticut State University. The event was sponsored by the Dartmouth College Democrats and the Chris Dodd Campaign of New Hampshire.

New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner announced Wednesday night that New Hampshire's primary will take place on Jan. 8, 2008, making it the nation's earliest-ever primary date. The announcement came shortly after Florida and Michigan brought their primary dates forward to January 17 and 29, respectively. The change meant that New Hampshire, which by state law has to hold its primary election first in the nation, and at least a week before any other, could hold its vote no later than Jan. 8. Iowa will hold its nominating caucus -- a different kind of candidate selection procedure -- on Jan. 3, kicking off primary season. With only five days between the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary, candidates will have little time to recover should they fare poorly in Iowa, pundits warn.
