Department reading lists affect local bookstores

By JR Santo | October 4, 2006

When students look to purchase books for their courses, they often go to one place -- Wheelock Books.

"Almost half of all departments choose to give their reading lists only to Wheelock Books," Dartmouth Bookstore Manager John Cusick said. When Cusick tried to get the course reading lists from the missing departments, he was told "no" to his face by some, he said. "Why don't we allow the students to have a choice of where they buy their books?" Cusick said.

Admit numbers show sharp divides

By Marina Agapakis | October 3, 2006

The debate over early admissions has reached a fever pitch in recent weeks, in light of the decision by Harvard University, Princeton University and most recently the University of Virginia to end their respective programs. After requesting numerical breakdowns for differences in the early and regular decision pools last week, the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid released specific statistics to The Dartmouth on Friday. These statistics for the members of Dartmouth's Class of 2010 reflect strong numerical disparities between the early and regular decision pools. The most drastic difference in representation between the two pools is in minority matriculants; 19 percent of matriculants from the early decision pool are racial minorities, whereas 40 percent of those accepted in the regular pool are considered minorities. Thirty-eight percent of matriculants admitted to the Class of 2010 through early decision are receiving need-based financial aid, compared to 57 percent of regular decision matriculants. Nine percent of students accepted early are the first in their families to attend college.
