'04 Senior gift campaign begins

By Alison Schmauch | January 15, 2004

The Young Alumni of Dartmouth Association launched its Senior Class Gift Campaign last night with a party held in Collis Commonground. Seniors attending could nibble on Brie, French bread and chocolate chip cookies, get a free glass of wine or beer from the bar, order a copy of the 2004 Aegis or listen to the live jazz band's rendition of Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer," as well as ask questions about the Dartmouth College Fund. The purpose of the party was to "introduce seniors to the Dartmouth College Fund and the Senior Class Gift: show them what we are, how to donate, and why it's so important to have a high participation rate," said Paul Bozzello '04, a Dartmouth College Fund intern. It is important to have a high participation rate because "people are far more likely to donate as alumni if they give senior year," Bozzello said. Bozzello also noted the importance of giving money to Dartmouth as a way of "showing thanks" to an institution that has given them many opportunities. According to the Dartmouth Alumni Office's Web site, it costs about $80,000 per year to educate one Dartmouth student.

Just Cover the Curtains

By Alex Jordan | January 15, 2004

To the Editors: In regard to the issue of the Rollins stained glass (The Dartmouth, Jan. 13), I think that we are ignoring the most obvious solution: remove the boards, restore the stained glass and put up some nice heavy curtains that can be closed to cover the windows.

By Kevin Garland | January 15, 2004

The Office of Residential Life hopes to help Greek houses attain high standards by offering a tool that would give individual houses the ability to monitor the progress toward certain goals and access others' perceptions of their houses. ORL is working with the Center for Educational Leadership to develop computer software, which it hopes will provide each house with a useful self-assessment. As designed, this project will include a survey of representatives around campus about their perceptions of the Greek organization, according to Dean of Residential Life Marty Redman.

By Liz Yepsen | January 14, 2004

An increasing number of voters with college degrees produces a voting populace that is more likely to vote along party lines and less likely to register as independent, Brooks said.
