Reserve reading on-line

By Alexander R. Edlich | June 1, 1993

A Student Assembly effort to make course reserve readings available over the College's computer network is running into legal barriers that are inhibiting the process. Four months after the Assembly's Project Committee began the task, three documents are available through the Online Library program that enables students to tap into a vast array of other database information from their computers. This term the Reserve Room has 2,600 photocopied documents -- and that does not include books, according to Ploeger. Most of the reserve readings are protected by copyright laws that prohibit the reproduction or electronic transmission of the document. Currently, only non-copyrighted materials can be put on-line, Circulation Services Librarian Pamela Ploeger said. Jeff Bell '96, the committee's liaison with Baker Library, said 20 non-copyrighted readings will be put on-line for the Fall term. Bell said laws restricting use of copyrighted materials on computer networks are untested and the legal implications are unclear. "In effect, we're waiting for someone to get sued," Bell said.

Houses in jeopardy; Plagued by low membership, some fraternities look to fall rush

By Jennifer Sack | June 1, 1993

Some of the College's fraternities currently troubled by low membership are looking toward next fall's rush period to strengthen their houses. While there are fraternities with as many as 94 members, Kappa Chi Kappa, Gamma Delta Chi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon have 29, 28 and 18 brothers, respectively. Although low membership has caused two Greek organizations to dissolve in the past five years, the presidents of Kappa Chi, Gamma Delt and SAE do not foresee their houses following this course. In fact, two of the presidents said their fraternities are actively seeking to recruit new members and feel confident that their efforts will pay off in the fall. Gamma Delt President Todd Brackett '95 said the fraternity is having more parties this term and trying to involve members of the Class of 1996 in house activities. He said the fraternity is also urging some of the men who "hang out" at the house to become members. Although Gamma Delt is making a strong effort to recruit new brothers, Brackett said he would like to see membership remain somewhat modest. "We're working to up the size to tops 45," he said.

Fishing season; Upper Valley area offers many prime spots

By Ethan Sawyer | May 31, 1993

Students and local fishing enthusiasts have already taken to river, pond and stream despite a fishing season that has started slowly, and with a little help from the weather, fish should soon be jumping at hooks all over the Upper Valley. Harley McAllister '94, co-president of the Bait and Bullet Club said the club has begun its fly fishing road trips on the weekends. The best fly fishing in the area is in Vermont, according to McAllister, who recommended that people interested in fishing in the area buy a Vermont fishing license rather than a New Hampshire license. Roger Lowell, who works for Mink Brook Outfitters Inc. in West Lebanon, said if the weather gets warmer, the season should pick up within the next week. Lowell recommended the Baker, Mascoma and White Rivers for trout fishing in New Hampshire.

Rumors of unsafe water prove untrue

By Alexander R. Edlich | May 31, 1993

Apparently false reports of lead contamination in the water at Kappa Chi Kappa fraternity sparked a flurry of false rumors this weekend that water on campus was not safe to drink. Town and College officials said yesterday that contrary to several Blitzmail messages that circulated this weekend, water on campus was not poisoned and is safe to drink. At least three different messages sent around campus said a lead pipe had fallen in the reservoir of the Hanover Water Company, shedding dangerous levels of lead into the College's water supply. But Carl Brink, the recently-retired superintendent of the company, said even if a lead pipe had been thrown into the main reservoir, which contains 217 million gallons of water, the pipe would not contaminate the water for at least several months, if at all. Ed Brown Jr., the executive vice president for the water company, said there is no reason to be alarmed.
