McCall '58 fighting to keep New York comptroller seat

By Alexander R. Edlich | November 7, 1994

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 -- In an unsavory anti-incumbent season fraught with vitriolic campaigns, H. Carl McCall '58 is fighting to hold onto his state comptroller job. Comptroller McCall, who is narrowly ahead of Republican challenger Herbert London in polls before New Yorkers head to vote on Tuesday, would be the first African American elected to a state-wide position if he wins. Last year, the state legislature appointed McCall to fill the remaining two years of Republican Edward Regan's term, who retired from the post. This year's campaign has concentrated on anything but the issues that face the state, which is slowly emerging from tough economic times.

Policy causes legal debate

By Keith Lavigne | November 4, 1994

Last night community leaders held a public form to defend the Hanover Police Department's "internal possession" policy, while earlier in the day the New Hampshire branch of the American Civil Liberties Union announced it will challenge it. Although it is ultimately up to the courts to untangle the complex legal issues, both sides maintain their interpretations of the law are correct. Under New Hampshire law "any person under the age of 21 years who has in his possession anyt liquor or alcoholic beverage shall be guilty of a violation," according to New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated179:10. Under the "internal possession" policy, police can use the presence of alcohol in the bloodstream as circumstantial evidence in cases where an underage drinker is charged with "unlawful possession." But opponents of "internal possession" interpret NH RSA179:10 as restricting the definition of possession to only mean the external possession of alcoholic beverages. In 1992, a motion in the New Hampshire legislature attempted to amend the statute so that alcohol in a person's system would be considered possession of alcohol, but on urging from the N.H.

By Jason Casell | November 3, 1994

The Meal Plan Task Force's proposed dining plan was met with both anger and enthusiasm by students and College employees at an open forum last night. The plan would require all students who want only a declining balance to pay a $70 fee each term and would offer freshman the option of choosing a declining balance or "punch" system. About 10 students attended the forum in Room 3 of the Rockefeller Center for the Social Sciences. "This committee is committed to work on this to find a user profile -- what is the right thing for the right person," said Dartmouth Dining Services Associate Director Tucker Rossiter, a member of the task force. Several of the students in the audience expressed anger with the proposed plan. "I think it is inherently unfair for the three classes to pay twice.
