Redman, Carney plan to leave College posts

The College will experience a major change in the oversight of the Greek system, as Dean of Residential Life Marty Redman announced that his position at the College had been eliminated due to budget cuts, in an e-mail obtained by The Dartmouth. Assistant Dean of Residential Life and Director of Greek Letter Organizations and Societies Deborah Carney has also decided to retire, and will leave the College on June 30, according to acting Dean of the College Sylvia Spears. Following the elimination of his position, Redman will leave the College, he wrote in the e-mail. Redman declined to comment when contacted by The Dartmouth. In addition to eliminating Redman's position, administrators will create three new positions: associate dean of campus life, associate dean of student support services and director of administration, according to Spears. Spears said that although his current position is being eliminated, Redman could choose to apply for one of the new positions. "[Redman is] not going anywhere immediately, and I think that's important for folks to know," Spears said.

Coeducation changes women's Carnival role

After a day at the Skiway during her first Winter Carnival in 1973, Mary Osgood '76 went back to her dormitory, disheartened by the Winter Carnival traditions that seemed unwelcoming to her and her female classmates. Osgood recalled her senior year Winter Carnival with fondness, however, attributing the improvement to a quickly progressing coeducation environment that caused male students to include Dartmouth women in the festivities. From the earliest days of Winter Carnival, when male students' dates participated in the "Queen of the Snows" pageant, to today, when flair-decked Dartmouth students vie for the titles of "Mr. and Ms. Big Green," the role of women at Winter Carnival has continually changed. Jeanne Riegel, who was invited to Winter Carnival during the 1950s, recalled the enthusiasm with which male students anticipated their female guests. "It was kind of like Animal House,'" Riegel said.

Lacina '10 gives with Green Gear

Courtesy of Mariel Lacina Courtesy of Mariel Lacina It started with a trip to a Tunbridge Central School in Vermont last year. When not between the pipes for the Big Green, Lacina is now turning local kids' hockey fantasies into reality through her used-equipment redistribution program, Green Gear. "We just went to skate with these kids who had an outdoor rink at the school," Dartmouth women's hockey goalie Mariel Lacina '10 said. Alongside her teammate, Kelly Foley '12, Lacina quickly realized that skating lessons were the kids' last concern as they staggered around wearing worn-down equipment. "Some of them didn't have skates," she said.

Letter to the Editor: Undeserved Support

To the Editor: Ethan Wang '13 ("Community College," Feb. 9) argues that the relationship between the College and the Upper Valley community is based on mutual respect, and we "deserve the support of the community in standing up against [the proposed alcohol] policies." As a '10 and a native of the Upper Valley, I felt compelled to respond. Wang speaks of "myriad hours" spent by Dartmouth students in local community service; I applaud the actions of those individuals who do work to better the Upper Valley, but the idea that the "goodwill" of their actions spills over to all of those of us who do nothing is flawed.
