Polls show students favor Greeks

By Deborah Bernstein | August 1, 1999

Two polls taken by The Dartmouth indicate students overwhelmingly favor the continuation of the single-sex Greek system, although opinions range about what, if anything should replace it if need be. Taken immediately after the announcement of the Trustees' Initiative in February and then a month later in March, the two polls' results were nearly identical. Out of 2,624 respondents, 60 percent said they support the continuation of the single-sex Greek system at the College, down just two percentage points from the days immediately following the bombshell announcement on February 9.

Residence halls offer variety of dorm life experiences

By Jay Krehbiel | August 1, 1999

By the second week in August, many of you will have received what can be the most important item that the College will send you regarding Freshman year -- roommates and a housing assignment.

New Dean of College will be busy with Initiative

By Brad Russo | August 1, 1999

After former College President James Freedman announced his resignation in the fall of 1997, many other administrators followed, most to assume bigger roles at other colleges. One of the most prominent departures was that of former Dean of the College Lee Pelton. Pelton had served as dean for eight years and was well known around campus, whether it be for popular steps like his "Experience Dartmouth" program in the East Wheelock residence halls, or for significantly less popular moves like his controversial alcohol reforms immediately prior to his departure. To replace Pelton, who is now president of Willamette College in Oregon, the College selected what at first appeared to be an unexpected candidate for such a high-level administrative post. James Larimore, a 38-year old who was still completing his doctorate dissertation at Stanford University, was chosen and took over the position July 1. Larimore was assistant to the provost at Stanford before coming to Dartmouth.
