Alumni telethon to begin Sunday

By Beth Duncan | January 10, 1997

The 21st annual student telethon to raise money for the Alumni Fund begins this Sunday, and organizers are hoping to match last year's more than $500,000 in receipts. The telethon, which will take place at the Top of the Hop Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, helps the College pay for general operating costs, according to Alumni Fund Intern Sam Keating '97, one of the telethon organizers. For the first time organizers will allow donors to specify whether their donations will go towards current-use or financial aid. "The Alumni Fund accounts for about 10 percent of operating costs," funding such programs as Foreign Study Programs and Language Study Abroad programs, Keating said. Assistant Director of the Alumni Fund Christopher Buffoli said the telethon is very important to the College's finances. Dartmouth student volunteers will telephone alumni who gave money to the College in previous years to ask for donations. "Alums are generally fun to talk to," Keating said.

TMBG latest release disappoints

By Arvid Nelson | January 9, 1997

How does one define the sound of pop group "They Might Be Giants?" The only answer may be to play one of their albums. The enigmatic, category-defying pop group "They Might Be Giants" continues to amuse and befuddle in their sixth and most recent release, "Factory Showroom," out on Elektra Records. Indeed, the pair have taken on a number of tenuous band members, including drummer Brian Doherty, bass player Graham Maby and guitarist Eric Schermerhorn, late of David Bowie and Iggy Pop. The band has a mercurial style, changing mood, sound and general subject matter on each track.
