Hanitchak '73 takes over as NAP director

By Erin Loback | January 5, 1996

Michael Hanitchak '73 became the new director of the Native American Program on Dec. 1 following a nationwide search to fill the position vacated by Acting Director John Sirois last June. Hanitchak served as interim director of the program before accepting the permanent position. Senior Associate Dean of the College Dan Nelson headed the search committee which selected Hanitchak as the most qualified candidate from a national pool. Nelson said Hanitchak's knowledge of and familiarity with Dartmouth were beneficial assets. Hanitchak said he has been involved with the Native American Program at Dartmouth since its inception in 1970. "Having this position makes me feel like I've come home," he said. He said he hopes to continue a feeling of family, community and history in the program. Hanitchak said he would like to "establish a smooth operation" in the program, as it "never had a clear direction because it was constantly changing personnel." The program has not had a permanent director since the conclusion of the 1993- 1994 academic year, when Leisha Conners left the position. Class of 1996 Dean Sylvia Langford, a member of the search committee, said Hanitchak "exudes an aura of encouragement and support for everyone around him.

Lawrence shines as new director

By David Kung | January 4, 1996

No one can call her pretentious as she sits in her office surrounded by scattered packets of videotapes, compacts discs, photographs and open cans of Canada Dry. But it seems everyone is trying to get Margaret Lawrence's attention these days since she started her role at Dartmouth as the new programming director of the Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts. She said while to many people working with the arts "sounds really glamorous," much of the time she spends sorting through mail from artists vying for coveted places in the Hopkins Center's events. Lawrence is responsible for coordinating the artistic programming at the Hopkins Center.

Moore, director of student activities, to leave today

By Aaron Lisman | January 4, 1996

Tim Moore, director of student activities and the Collis Student Center, is leaving the College today to become director of the Hughes-Trigg Student Center at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. According to Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia, the College has not begun the search to replace Moore. In the meantime, Associate Director of Student Activities Linda Kennedy will act as director of student activities and Collis Center Operations Manager Brenda Goupee will head Collis. Moore's new position at the Hughes-Trigg Student Center, which he said combines elements of Collis, the Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts and Thayer Dining Hall, will entail broader responsibilities than his job at Dartmouth, and Moore said he is looking forward to the challenges of his new job. The Hughes-Trigg Student Center is much bigger than Collis contains a food court, a convenience store, a post office, a hair salon, a travel agency, an art gallery, a 500-seat theater, a ballroom and administrative offices. Moore said he is also looking forward to living in Dallas, a city he hopes will prove more cosmopolitan than Hanover or Lebanon.

Clinton office opens in Hanover

By Jacqueline Rose | January 4, 1996

In a spacious room on the third floor of a small building next door to C & A's Pizza, the walls and ceilings are adorned with "Clinton-Gore" posters, balloons and streamers and two supporters of President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore are hard at work gathering local support for their 1996 re-election campaign. Although Peter Spanos, who works for the New Hampshire Democratic Party and Craig Schirmer, a Clinton staff member, were the only two people in the Clinton-Gore '96 Re-elect office yesterday afternoon, Schirmer said more than 100 Dartmouth students, most of whom are members of the Young Democrats at Dartmouth, have volunteered at the office since the beginning of December. "Over 100 Dartmouth students as of now have volunteered at the office," Schirmer said, surrounded by mountains of pins and bumper stickers, among other Clinton-Gore paraphernalia.

With the 1995 calendar year now a thing of the past, the Dartmouth men's hockey team is hoping it can recover from a dismal 1-10-1 start to the 1995-96 season, as Eastern College Athletic Conference play begins in earnest this weekend. Although the team's 1-10-1 record could cause people to believe 1995-96 is already a lost season, the squad has played only five ECAC games thus far -- the Big Green are 0-5-0 within the conference -- and still has plenty of time to make up points in the standings, with 17 league games remaining between now and March.
