After four years in the relative utopia that is Dartmouth, Commencement marks a time when students must become full citizens of a wider world than Hanover.

Hanover, with its quaint shops and historic homes, may appear to be a typical New England town, except for one difference -- it revolves around a world-renowned Ivy League college. Dartmouth's presence has created a community that is an anomaly within the Upper Valley, with a much higher average income, education level and property value than surrounding towns.
It is Saturday morning, and Athletic Director Richard Jaeger '59 is outside with his yellow Labrador retrievers, enjoying the good weather. He will soon have more time for leisurely mornings like this one -- after 38 years working for Dartmouth, Jaeger is relinquishing his position for some hard-earned freedom.

With the institution of the new door-lock system in the fall, vendors will no longer be able to deliver to students' dorm rooms.
A door-lock system for College residence halls based on coded ID cards -- in the works since the winter of 2001 -- might finally debut in a test run over the Summer term.
It's midnight on a Friday night. The residence halls are alive with rock music and the voices of students gearing up for a night of partying. This may appear to be a happy, healthy student community, but to area residents, it's noise pollution.
The University of North Carolina chose last week to discontinue its early decision admissions policy, fueling the national debate over a system which some believe gives an extra advantage to well-off applicants.
Bright colors, fiesta music and the smell of spicy cuisine may not be things usually associated with Hanover, but that's about to change. Mojo's Bistro, a "border cuisine" restaurant that is under construction in part of the old Dartmouth Co-op, will add new flavor to local culinary offerings.

They start to show up in the spring of junior year, concurrently with standardized testing scores, and once they start coming, they don't stop until the summer after graduation. Unless they are instantly discarded, they will take over whole rooms.

Dartmouth students are a part of the Hanover community, and town residents take advantage of the College's academic and social offerings.Interaction between town and college, however, is not always as symbiotic as it seems.
