Life A.D.

By Dan Galemba | March 28, 2002

I like Dartmouth. I tend to express my appreciation for the privilege of attending this institution fairly often in my writings, and I am known to get annoyed with those who take for granted the opportunity by complaining about relative trivialities. But before it was all talk.

Carly Haggard '03 named 1st-team All-American

By Dan Weinberg | March 27, 2002

Although the Dartmouth women's hockey team failed to reach the Frozen Four, Carly Haggard '03 represented the team at the tournament hosted by the University of New Hampshire as one of three finalists for the Patty Kazmaier Award. The fifth annual honor given to the best women's hockey player in the country was presented to Northeastern's Brooke Whitney, whose 32 goals and 24 assists also made her the most valuable player in the ECAC East. Haggard will not exactly leave her junior year empty-handed, as she was decorated with ECAC North and co-Ivy League player of the year honors. "It's a great honor to even be nominated," said the gracious forward from Port Alberni, B.C. "At the beginning of the year, I didn't dream of being in the top 10.

GRE will include writing assessment

By Sabrina Peric | March 27, 2002

The Graduate Record Examinations services announced this week that they would be radically altering the existing format of the GRE test by replacing the analytical section with a writing assessment this October. The change comes in the wake of a more general call to make standardized testing less focused on multiple-choice questions -- especially with the recent demands that the SAT I include a writing section. "We were really excited about the opportunity to allow students to express their analytical thinking in their own words ... rather than relying solely on multiple-choice questions," said Thomas Rochon, executive director of the GRE Program. Rochon said that the recent turn away from multiple-choice testing was an effort to develop a fair way of evaluating incoming students.

Hanover water works seeks filtration sys.

By Kaitlin Bell | March 27, 2002

If everything goes according to plan, the Class of 2010 will not be drinking the fishy-tasting water that currently flows from Hanover pipes every spring and fall. Hanover Water Works, which supplies water to the town, is currently in the process of reviewing plans to install a water-filtration system, said Peter Kulbacki, General Manager of the Water Works and Director of Public Works. Currently, Hanover has the only remaining unfiltered water system in the state. Lebanon's water-filtering plant has existed since 1907.

College Board ponders drastic SAT changes

By Kristina Mendicino | March 26, 2002

Due in part to recent criticisms by the University of California, the College Board has scheduled a June meeting of its trustees in order to revise the Scholastic Assessment Test, which over one million college-bound students take each year. Proposed changes to the test -- which include the addition of a writing section, the elimination or drastic reduction of the analogy section, and the addition of second-year algebra and trigonometry problems to the math section -- will most likely take effect for students graduating high school in 2006. Because such revisions would be designed to have the test more closely reflect the current high school curriculum, they are part of a relatively recent trend to render the test more of an achievement than an aptitude examination.

Tulloch seeks two trials

By Victoria McGrane and Ithan Peltan | March 26, 2002

Lawyers for Robert Tulloch argued in a court filing yesterday that accusations that he and alleged accomplice James Parker planned the killings of Half and Susanne Zantop months in advance should not be heard at the teen's murder trial. Tulloch pleaded not guilty to the charge of conspiracy to commit murder -- the fifth charge brought against the Vermont teen accused of killing the two Dartmouth professors -- at an arraignment hearing at Grafton County Superior Court on March 6. In a motion to consolidate the conspiracy charge with the four existing first-degree murder charges, state prosecutors have alleged that the Zantop murders were only part of "an overall scheme by the defendant and James Parker to raise $10,000 illegally, to eliminate witnesses and to travel to Australia." Public defender Richard Guerriero said in the written objection to the state's request that consolidation would harm his client. "The defense was prepared for trial with an expectation of charges relating the events of one day, January 27, 2001," he wrote.
