The Rush to Judgment
Like many Dartmouth movers and shakers before me, I spent one of my off terms trying to save the world in a developing country. Please allow me the perfunctory I-learned-something-meaningful-abroad-and-can-relate-it-to-Dartmouth column, beginning right now.
Entitled Education
Dartmouth alumni tend to know a little something about money (see Timothy Geithner '83, Henry Paulson '68), but Alfred Valerie '01 seems to be an exception. In case you missed his recent guest column ("Best for Whom?," 10/15/10), Valerie was a victim of the Financial Aid Office's systematic campaign to generously enable poor students to attend an absurdly expensive private college. He was required to sign away years of his life in servitude, years he would spend repaying an institution maliciously intent on "saddling unsuspecting kids with onerous debt." After four years, his tab totaled "roughly $20,000," nearly 15 percent of the sticker price. No wonder they call us the Big Green.

Daily Debriefing
Acting Dean of the College Sylvia Spears and Provost Carol Folt discussed the College's voluntary reaccreditation process, overseen by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education, at Tuesday's Student Assembly meeting in Collis 101. The reaccreditation committee, comprised of nine administrators from New England colleges and universities, will be on campus Nov. 14-17 to speak with undergraduate and graduate students, administrators and faculty, according to Folt. The committee will host an hour-long open forum for students to voice their opinions about the College. The campus visit is the culmination of two years of work by administrators and faculty, who presented a 100-page self-study report to the committee, Spears said. The College expects to receive reaccreditation within several months of the visit, according to Folt. Student Body President Eric Tanner '11 also previewed a brief Homecoming video, designed to show students the importance of Homecoming not only to the College but also to the community. The video is being distributed to students via BlitzMail this week.
Jayanti receives new professorship
During his 17 years at Dartmouth, computer science professor Prasad Jayanti has balanced his "two loves" of research and teaching, and has succeeded in both. He has done so by developing the most efficient algorithm for problems of simultaneous computation and by raising the bar for teaching standards in his department.

BOOKED SOLID: Podcast of Characters
In the high-pressure world of higher education, where the reading load is basically infinite, students (and, erm, certain columnists) may not have time to read a book every week or if they do, they may not want to spend their previous free time further destroying their eyesight. Luckily, in the age of modern technology, it's now possible to get the delight that comes from reading in an audio format. Podcasts, you see, are pretty much the coolest thing since sliced bread.
