Color printing at Kiewit

By Ilana Davidi | July 12, 1994

Color printing arrived at the Kiewit Computation Center last Tuesday, allowing students to print color graphs, illustrations and other computer images at a small price. Although the center purchased the printer -- a $10,000 Tektronix Phaser 200i -- about a year ago, Kiewit officials just recently finished the printer's testing phase. Larry Levine, the College's director of computing, said Kiewit decided to purchase the printer because "there was not a good, central" means of color printing. He said town businesses charge more than Kiewit charges and their buildings are further away. Users pay $1 a page for color printouts and $2 a page for transparencies. According to Malcolm Brown, the director of academic computing, the cost helps to cover the price of "consumables" -- the special paper and ink used for the printer.

By Alexander R. Edlich | July 12, 1994

At the Burlington Seven's Tournament on Saturday, four experienced men's club teams defeated the Dartmouth Men's Rugby Club. Unlike the regular season, Dartmouth's team, consisting of seven players, went against predominently men's clubs instead of college sides. Seven's is primarily a passing game based on continuity and possession of the ball unlike the 15-member game played during the year when speed and strength play more of a factor. Sophmore tour players Todd Aaron, Doug Asano, Chris McGee, John Moore, Jonathan Stoel, Craig Thomas and Roger Vincent composed the team.

By Alexander R. Edlich | July 12, 1994

Terp named new assistant dean

By Alexander R. Edlich | July 12, 1994

Dean of the College Lee Pelton recently appointed Janet Terp as assistant dean of the College for administration. Terp is the former acting director of public programs and campaign events at the College. The appointment comes after the resignation in May of former Associate Dean Barbara Strohbehn, who worked in the office for 12 years. Terp will assume some of Strohbehn's responsibilities and the rest will be divided among members of the Dean's Office, Pelton said. Terp, who served as assistant director of public programs, declined an offer in December to become the full-time director of public programs, she said. Pelton said Terp has a working knowledge of the College administration and how to interact with different offices and departments at Dartmouth, which were qualities he looked for in the job search. "She brings two things to the job," Pelton said.

Bollinger: Parkhurst's newest kid

By Amanda A. Amann | July 12, 1994

Lee Bollinger, who has been provost for a little more than a week now, is very much the new kid on the administrative block. Last week, the humidity had gotten to him so much that he contemplated climbing on a chair in his office to turn on a fan, before a secretary informed him that a light switch would do the trick. And just as Bollinger is still feeling his way around the office, he is also trying to get a sense of what Dartmouth and its provost position is all about. When asked about Bollinger's performance so far,College President James Freedman said, "Oh, I've just been delighted.

Follow in the footsteps

By 32 Robinson | July 12, 1994

With his arrival in Hanover, Provost Lee Bollinger has the opportunity to direct the evolution of the College in a number of important areas. Bollinger, as he continues the College's work to increase the beneficial interaction between the graduate schools and the undergraduates, should do so with the goal of enhancing Dartmouth's liberal arts education. Although many students come to Dartmouth because of the readily available opportunities to interact with professors -- an aspect of the College that should not be undervalued -- the College's undergraduate experience should not be compromised by faculty research. Bollinger should also continue the efforts of his predecessors and peers to foster intellectualism that have come in part from College President James Freedman's desire to explore the "life of the mind" and from Dean of the Faculty James Wright's push for a new curriculum. During the past eight years, members of the administration have worked individually and in unison to promote intellectualism on campus and Bollinger should join them. But intellectual growth is not limited to the classroom. The College is in need of a new dormitory so that everyone who wants to benefit from the camaraderie residence halls can provide is able to do so. This fall, 3,904 students will be in residence and the College faces the possibility of more than 150 students being denied housing. Bollinger, who is the chief financial officer at the College, should consider the housing needs of a residential college when determining the College's financial priorities. If the College starts budgeting money now, a new residence hall could be built in the near future, saving the College from the complaints of students with no beds. Plans for further development should also include more student space. Student organizations that need space currently can not get it.

Shawmut Bank symbol is offensive to some students

By Lisa Cain | July 8, 1994

To the Editor: In your article on the Shawmut Bank take over ("Shawmut Bank takes over," June 30, 1994) you included the opinion of one Native American student who does not mind the bank's Indian symbol. Everyone has their own personal opinion about Indian symbols such as the Washington Redskins and the "Dartmouth Indian" and these opinions are not necessarily dictated by one's ethnic background. However, there are many people on this campus who are bothered by the Shawmut logo. When closing my account there, I explained to the bank manager that as long as stereotypes like these exist, more people will become desensitized to ignorance and racism, passed on to the next generation. It is a matter of passive exposure: violence that does not affect us --on televison or in movies -- can desensitize us to violence. Shawmut bank obviously sees their logo as a harmless caricature, but the targets of the discrimination perpetuated in this manner do not find this harmless. The small amount of money I withdrew from Shawmut will not effect the bank at all.

Tuck dean search committee forms

By Alexander R. Edlich | July 8, 1994

Deputy Provost Bruce Pipes recently appointed members to a 10-person search committee to find a new dean for the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration. The creation of the committee, which has not yet met, follows the appointment of former Tuck Dean Colin Blaydon as the interim director. Edward Fox resigned as dean of the Tuck School when he was denied a second four-year term after what administration members called a standard review. Business Administration Professor Robert Hansen will lead the committee composed of six Tuck professors, three members of the school's Board of Overseers and one undergraduate professor. Besides Hansen, the committee members include Tuck Overseers Jim Allwin, Phil Benton and Jack Byrne, Economics Professor Steve Venti and Business Management Professor Frederick Webster. Tuck professors Karla Bourland, Vijay Govindarajan, Kevin Maloney and Clyde Stickney are also on the committee. "The committee is very good, very solid," Hansen said last night.

Police continue investigation

By Alexander R. Edlich | July 8, 1994

A sales slip found at the Old Dartmouth Cemetery took Hanover Police to a local store in search of the vandals who caused about $10,000 worth of damage to tombstones in the early morning hours on June 23. Police say the vandals had a party and then overturned 13 headstones, destroying five. Hanover Police Detective Rick Paulsen said last night that he questioned a clerk at Stinson's Village Store yesterday about the sales receipt. Paulsen said he suspected the beer was bought at Stinson's, but added that the clerk was unsure if the beer was actually purchased from the store. Paulsen said the clerk gave the police the tape made by the store's video camera the night before the vandalism. But police discovered yesterday that the camera had not been functioning and the tape was blank, Paulsen said. On Tuesday, Hanover Police Sergeant Chris O'Connor said the police discovered the sales receipt for beer in a brown bag found on the knoll at the graveyard. The knoll was littered with cigarettes and empty beer cans, O'Connor said.
