S&S officers lack the training of officers in blue

By Cordelia Zukerman | October 21, 2002

Those green-and-white uniforms aren't the only trait that distinguishes Safety and Security officers from the blue of the New York Police Department. Although Dartmouth's Safety and Security officers are charged with the protection of the College's student population and the enforcement of College rules and policies, they are not police officers.

A Call for Moderation

By John Buckholz | October 21, 2002

To the Editor: Among the disturbing implications in Ana Catalano's Oct. 17 editorial, "Feminism: A Call for Revival," is the suggestion that the need for a female president is so great that voters should consider this criterium at the exclusion others. Hillary Clinton may well run in 2008, but it is the educated voter's mandate to evaluate her (dismal) track record ahead of her gender.

Tuck's French relishes rural life

By Jessica Spradling | October 18, 2002

Tuck School Professor Kenneth French is one of the world's top thinkers in economics and finance, but if you don't find him in his office, look for him to be out skiing or cycling in the New Hampshire countryside he loves. French and his academic partner, University of Chicago Professor Eugene Fama, were on several shortlists to win this year's Nobel Prize in economics.

Vendors increase scrutiny of IDs

By Griffin Gordon | October 18, 2002

Following the arrest of two Dartmouth students for the mass production of fake identification, area vendors are being warned to check IDs from California, Florida and New Mexico and may be clamping down on those seeking to buy alcohol underage. Police allege that Tom Allason '02 and David Seidman '04 produced over 100 fake drivers' licenses prior to their arrests in early September. Although mostly not new additions, the ominous warnings like "Don't try it if you're under 21" and "If you're under 30, expect to be proofed" that decorate the windows of Hanover's gas stations, grocery stores and restaurants may have taken on new meaning since the arrests. "We don't mess around," said Nigel Leeming, the owner of Mojo's Bistro and Murphy's on the Green. Establishments in Hanover use a variety of methods to detect fake IDs, ranging from the use of scanners to manual examinations, but each takes the use of false identification seriously. Stores that are caught for selling alcohol to minors face a minimum $1,000 fine on the first offense, which is reason enough to be careful, Leeming said. Many shops that sell alcohol in Hanover have books with complete listings of all state manufactured IDs in existence.

Time well spent on ranking polls?

By Kaitlin Bell | October 18, 2002

As fluctuations in the rank of certain elite schools on U.S. News and World Reports' annual rankings list continue to capture the public's attention -- and even as the debate over such rankings' merits continues to rage -- the significant demands such rankings make on administrators' time go largely unheeded. But that's the way it should be, according to a number of deans and public relations officers responsible for providing the data used in the rankings, including deans of admissions and directors of public relations from the Thayer School of Engineering, Tuck Business School, Dartmouth Medical School and other Ivy League institutions. Theirs is a mostly pragmatic approach to the rankings.

College sells house on seniority sys.

By Alison Schmauch | October 18, 2002

Despite Dartmouth's recent budget cuts, officials in the College Real Estate office still plan to sell a house located at 1 MacDonald Drive in Hanover on the basis of seniority, rather than trying to sell it at the highest possible cost. Priority will first be given to bidders who have not lived in the Dresden School District -- which includes Hanover and Norwich, Vt.

After a mock game with other hopefuls, designed for the producers to pick actual contestants, Means took a dim view of his chances. "I thought they would want someone more interesting," he said. But last week, Means competed for real.

Researchers say N.H. dropout rate is at 25 percent

By Megh Duwadi | October 17, 2002

Forget about college. Recent research shows that for New Hampshire high schoolers, just leaving high school with a diploma is proving difficult. High school dropout rates -- a problem often perceived as being limited to depressed urban neighborhoods -- have reached 25 percent in this largely rural state, data collected by the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies indicates. That number is markedly higher than recent estimates from the N.H.
