In the recently released "Jurassic Park,"a delegation from that time in the Mesozoic era makes a general mess of their tropical island home, ignores traffic rules, eats people and spits. Mammals began to evolve just before the Jurassic, 215 million years ago,but they never made it past the nocturnal, tree-dwelling, embarrassing rat-like stage until the dinosaurs became extinct.

Valedictorian enjoys conversation

By Steve Hoffman | June 13, 1993

Although academic success has made Ally Jeddy '93 this year's valedictorian, Jeddy said he will best remember his time at Dartmouth for his intellectual pursuits outside of the classroom. Jeddy is a double economics and engineering major from Pakistan who arrived in the United States for the first time at the beginning of his freshman year. A reserved but extremely articulate and personable individual, Jeddy received 10 academic citations from seven departments including economics, computer science, French and philosophy. Jeddy recently completed a paper on trade economics under the guidance of Professor Carsten Kowalczyk, for whom Jeddy worked as a research assistant for three years. Jeddy wrote about "what governments must do to prevent being 'leapfrogged,'" a situation that occurs when the world's economic leader is overtaken by another country. Kowalczyk said the paper "deserves publication in a professional journal" and Jeddy received a letter of praise from Ronald Jones, one of the world's foremost trade economists. A Phi Beta Kappa and Rufus Choate Scholar, Jeddy also won the Francis L.
