Dash system confuses, complicates

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | September 25, 1996

Advertised this summer as "a convenient, flexible and easier-to-use alternative to cash" the new Dash card has turned out to be a big headache. The flyer sent home to students in August tried to sell the so-called "exciting new program" rather than inform students about how the dramatic change in billing would affect their daily lives.

New Tucker dean to work toward developing vision

By Lillie Ng | September 25, 1996

The College appointed Scott Brown as the new dean of the Tucker Foundation this month, and Brown is already working to expand the foundation's programs and develop its national reputation. Brown was chosen through a search process that began last year, said Patricia Moffitt, administrative assistant to the provost. Dean of the College Lee Pelton headed the search committee that selected Brown, but could not be reached for comment. In his first term, Brown said he hopes to establish a new vision for the Tucker Foundation and develop a five-year plan for the foundation. Brown hopes to make the Tucker Foundation an organization recognized around the country as a leading provider of community service programs. "Within five years, I'd like the Tucker Foundation to be known nationally as a leader in community service and spiritual leadership, with our level of student participation to be one of the highest in the nation," Brown said.

Sailing team sets goals high

By Amy Hatch | September 25, 1996

Summer lives on in the hearts of one group of Dartmouth athletes. The Big Green sailing team refuses to let fall set in and will not be bothered by the typical, chilly Hanover weather as they prepare for a long fall season filled with numerous weekend regattas. Already this season, both the men and women sailors have performed particularly well, proving to New England and other eastern teams that Dartmouth sailing is a top-notch program that will be difficult to defeat. In fact, the women sailors have already earned a ranking of two in the nation, a position that Coach Brian Doyle feels is more than fair. "We have a lot of female talent in our upperclassmen," Doyle said.
