In a Tuesday press release, Travis Blalock '12 introduced Hazing Tours, a daily tour service that will take visitors to Dartmouth Greek physical plants and offer insight on alleged hazing practices in Greek organizations, sports teams and other campus groups. Hazing Tours will also serve as "the first ever psychic witness service" that will provide supposed evidence of hazing allegations in order to allow the administration to take action against fraternities, according to the Hazing Tours website. Blalock is "prepared to summon spirits from the great void to reveal practices dating back to 1842," the press release said.

Amid increasing threats to the U.S. State Department's Fulbright Program budget, seven recent Dartmouth graduates are currently pursuing academic research and cross-cultural exchanges as Fulbright scholars. While Congress has yet to approve the State Department's 2012 fiscal year budget, the Fulbright Program's budget was cut by $16.4 million in fiscal year 2011, dropping the program's budget to $237.4 million, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. This decrease led to reductions in the program's foreign-language awards and the number of fellowships awarded for international students, according to The Chronicle. Budget reductions also forced the U.S. Department of Education to cancel the Fulbright-Hays Program, which had previously sponsored research and training efforts focused on non-Western foreign languages and area studies for fiscal year 2011, according to the Fulbright Program website.
