Recent hirings do little to relieve crowded departments

By Gus Lûbin | January 24, 2005

While recent faculty hiring expanded and internationalized a number of departments and programs, it did little to lessen the strain on many popular social science departments and several smaller programs. Dartmouth hired 27 new professors, according to a compilation of figures from individual department chairs. But Martin Dimitrov is the only of the 27 new professors who is teaching in the chronically overenrolled government department. "If we don't hire new faculty then we will either have to take caps off overenrolled courses and give multiple choice tests instead of essays, or we would require fewer seminars or narrow the breadth of our courses," government department chair Anne Sa'adah said. "Of course we have only so much office space, so it's not always easy to hire more," Sa'adah added. The psychology and sociology departments also hired only one additional faculty member each. Outside of the large social science departments, chairs of the film and television studies department and the office of speech said they would like to see more faculty members in their programs as well. The film department has recently expanded from being an academic program, similar to Asian and Middle-Eastern studies.

Teach Your Children Well

By Jon Wisniewski | January 21, 2005

Throughout our nation's history, there have been many differences on many important issues -- not to mention a civil war thrown in there -- but at the end of the day, we have always been able to resolve these differences and sit back down at the dinner table with one another.

Skiway gears up to host Special Olympics

By Kristen Kelley | January 21, 2005

Despite forecasts of unbearably cold weather and last-minute changes to courses and event schedules, a record number of volunteers and over 140 participating teams are eagerly anticipating the third annual Winter Special Olympics set to take place Saturday at the Dartmouth Skiway. The recent cold front caused freezing complications and forced the winter games management team to make last-minute changes to the games' structure, games director Pete Bleyler said. Due to the freezing of Garipay Field, the designated location for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, those events must shift to the Skiway, where a 100-meter course was created with artificial snow.

Investment committee divulges vote record

By Mark Henle | January 21, 2005

Undergraduate representatives from the Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility held an open forum Thursday to solicit student input and divulge the committee's voting record. The 10 students present pressed the group's student representatives -- Sally Newman '05 and Luke Gilroy '05 -- for information on everything from its function to its proxy voting record. The committee, formed in 2003 to exercise the College's voting rights on shares it owns, has voted on everything from animal rights to weapons manufacturing to nuclear power in its relatively short history. While the committee generally forms a strong consensus before voting, some issues have led to drawn-out conflict among its members.
