Enrollment committee alters D-Plans

By Charles French | April 20, 1995

For the first time in recent memory, not every student will receive their first-choice Dartmouth-Plan. The Enrollment Committee decided yesterday to deny 65 freshmen their first-choice enrollment pattern to try to break the recent trend of Fall term over-enrollment. The eight-member committee, which handles issues related to the D-Plan, randomly chose the freshmen out of a group of 225 students who requested to be enrolled in their remaining three Fall terms. All 65 will receive their second-choice D-Plan that had one Fall term marked as an off-term. The committee's action is part of a coordinated effort by several areas of the College to curtail rising Fall term enrollments, which in recent years have contributed to long wait-lists for housing.

The invisible, unnoticed head of the class: graduate-student teachers

By Rini Ghosh | April 19, 1995

Although Dartmouth prides itself on its commitment to undergraduates and the fact that professors -- not students -- teach courses, each year a handful of classes are taught by graduate students with master's degrees. But many students who have taken classes taught by graduate students say they did not mind the fact that their teacher did not have a doctorate. Graduate students teach five to 10 courses per year, according to George Wolford, associate dean of the faculty for the social sciences. Wolford noted this is far less than any comparable university.

Ivory towers a la Playboy: provoking some protests

By Jack Vaitayanonta | April 19, 1995

What could cause some of the smartest college students in the country to do such bizarre things as run naked across campus as a form of protest or ignore a chemistry final to frolic naked in a hot tub? Playboy Magazine, of course. The opportunity to be a featured model in Playboy's "Women of the Ivy League" October 1995 pictorial has stirred up reactions ranging from outrage to apathy throughout the Ancient Eight. For instance, at Yale University a group of students offered to pay women selected by Playboy $600 not to pose. But since Playboy photographers began interviewing Monday at Harvard, there has not been any protest against the magazine and "no one really cares," said junior Sarah Scrogin, The Harvard Crimson's managing editor. Playboy has currently interviewed and photographed women at four of the Ivies -- the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia, Princeton and Yale Universities.
