The falling value of the dollar has spurred high numbers of international students to enroll in U.S. colleges for this fall, as an American college education is now less expensive for many foreign students, The Boston Globe reported Saturday. Nearly 583,000 international students have enrolled in American colleges this year, the most since 2001, when Congress tightened student visa requirements following the World Trade Center attacks. At Babson College, where foreign student enrollment saw a 67 percent hike, international students will constitute a quarter of the school's incoming class, according to The Globe. The largest percentage of international students were from India, followed by students from China and Korea, The Globe reported.

Alumni giving to the Tuck School of Business reached record heights this year, with donations totaling $5.9 million, a press release from the school announced on Tuesday. The amount represents an 18 percent increase from last year's donation total. With 67.5 percent of alumni contributing, Tuck is the only business school in the nation that has seen alumni giving participation rates of over 50 percent, the press release reported based on numbers drawn from Businessweek. On average, Tuck surpasses its peer business schools' giving participation rates by about 30 percent, the release said.
The Tuck School of Business raised $67,400 at its eighth annual auction last week to benefit Tuck GIVES, which helps fund Tuck students' internships at nonprofit organizations, according to a Tuck press release. The Grants to Interns and Volunteers for the Environment and Society auction, which is organized and run by Tuck students, included a poker tournament, a raffle and silent and live auctions. Patricia Palmiotto, director of Tuck's Allwin Initiative for Corporate Citizenship, said the nonprofit sector is quickly developing and added that Tuck GIVES teaches MBA students to apply their skills to "increase their capacity to serve others." Tuck GIVES began in 2001 and receives support from the Allwin Initiative, alumni and Tuck's career development office, among others.
Michael Hanitchak '73 opened Dartmouth's fourth annual symposium on substance abuse on Friday with a Native American blessing, asking the Creator for guidance in reconciling two gifts bestowed upon humanity -- tobacco, which Hanitchak said "we sometimes use unwisely," and the power to "heal our brothers and sisters who have become unbalanced."

A Hanover area resident is suing an online sex site powered by Friendfinder Network Inc., and Various Inc., an affiliated company, for allegedly posting a feigned profile that used her personal information next to a nude photo of another female, according to the Nashua Telegraph. The profile was created by someone using the Dartmouth College network in 2005. The New Hampshire police department found the individual who posted the profile, who admitted to creating it, according to the companies' lawyer, Ira Rothken. The woman, who filed the suit under the pseudonym "Jane Doe," claims the fictitious profile was posted for over a year before a friend brought it to her attention. A federal judge threw out five of the woman's claims because internet sites are protected under federal law from liability for false postings by others, but allowed two to stand in an order handed down Thursday.

Perhaps the most impressive group in this regard, however, is the Beatles. All four band-mates went on to have long, successful musical careers on their own. With the release of "Liverpool 8," Ringo Starr's 14th studio album, the former Beatles drummer lets his endearing personality shine and proves that he can still rock at the age of 67.
