Ronald G. Shaiko, associate director of the Rockefeller Center, gave a lecture entitled "Electing the President in 2008: A Constitutional Perspective" on Monday, in honor of Constitution Day. Shaiko spent the majority of the lecture explaining the origin of the electoral college, what it is, the role it plays in electing the president of the United States and the amendments made to it over the years. He went on to discuss the pros and cons of the system and possible reforms to it, including the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The compact would be a proposed agreement between U.S. states on how they allocate their electoral votes -- which would essentially mean a conversion to a national popular vote system. Shaiko will hold a debate focus group with Dartmouth students during, before and after the Democratic debate on campus Wednesday.

Each fall, the move-in frenzy looks much the same at Dartmouth: overstuffed cars idling in front of residence halls, door alarms beeping incessantly while propped open for hours, men and women trucking their belongings into their new dorm rooms. Except this year, for the first time, those Dartmouth men and women might be moving into the same rooms.

Beta was first recognized by the College in 1858 under the name Sigma Delta Pi, joining the national Beta fraternity in 1889. It was subsequently de-recognized by the College on December 6, 1996 following a series of disciplinary incidents that culminated in the house violating suspension regulations during the Summer term of 1996. According to Dean of Residential Life Marty Redman, the College's revocation of recognition was deemed permanent at the time, akin to expelling a student.

Despite rumors of a genital herpes outbreak, Dick's House has not seen any more genital herpes cases than normal. Talk of the alleged outbreak spread as Greek houses passed around mass e-mails informing their members of the rumored outbreak of the sexually transmitted disease and telling them to protect themselves. Betsy Morse, a nurse practitioner at Women's Health Services at Dick's House, said she searched medical records, finding fewer than five cases since the beginning of February. "Sometimes they come in clumps, but we usually see a few each term, and this is no exception," she said. Morse explained that condoms and dental dams, available through Health Resources, are effective ways to protect an individual and his or her partner from transmitting the disease but are not 100 percent effective, and that abstinence is the only sure way to protect oneself. Morse explained that there are two types of Herpes Simplex Virus: Type 1, which is usually affecting the mouth, and Type 2, which affects the genitals. With oral sex, however, either can be transmitted to each location. She warned that many of those infected with herpes have shown no symptoms and are unaware that they are infected.

Sandy Alderson '69, one of the four individuals running in the upcoming Board of Trustees election, spoke at a dinner at Alpha Delta fraternity on Wednesday evening. Alderson, the CEO of the San Diego Padres, discussed his success running Major League Baseball teams and went on to compare his past experiences to managing a college. He shared his views about the upcoming election and the hope he has for the College's future. The dinner gave the group of 30 students, mostly non-members of AD, a chance to ask the potential trustee member questions about what he could bring to the College. In a twist, he questioned the audience, asking the students about their Dartmouth experiences and what makes Dartmouth such a unique place. Later that evening, Alderson met with a group of Dartmouth women at the Canoe Club in Hanover to discuss women's issues at the College.

Yale University has announced plans to continue its on-campus interview program, the Yale Daily News reported Thursday. Yale will now be the only Ivy League institution continuing to offer this service to prospective students, in which seniors are trained by the admissions department to conduct interviews on campus. Yale believes that on-campus interviews allow for direct communication between prospective students and the particular school and sees no reason to change its current process. Last week Dartmouth announced that it was discontinuing on-campus interviews in order to spend more time and effort expanding on-campus programs for admissions visitors and to create a more fair admissions process. Harvard conducts on-campus interviews but places no evaluation in the applicant's file.
