'Helldorado' theme: first in 73 years

By Scott Anthony | May 13, 1994

For the first time in its 73-year history, Green Key Weekend has a theme but Director of Student Planning Linda Kennedy said this is not a "monumental decision." The Programming Board, which Kennedy advises instituted the theme -- "Helldorado." The Programming Board has a hand in almost every event on campus this weekend and master-minded the planning of Saturday's festivals on the Green. Chair of the Programming Board's Green Key Planning Committee Kerri Cavanaugh '95 said the committee decided to have a theme so Saturday's events would not "be simply 'the event on the Green.'" Kennedy said she has been planning a trip West with her family and has come across summer festivals in the West called "Helldorado." She said she suggested it to the committee and they decided to try it.

Alumni reminisce about auctions and good times

By Colin Grey | May 13, 1994

O, but Green Key Weekend has grown tame indeed! Soon younger alumni and students will begin celebrating the legendary party weekend, but as with most legends, past splendors have faded into a far more boring present. Though they try hard, today's revellers can not begin to match the hard-partying ethic of their forbears. "My recollection only is that Green Key was the best," Gordon Thomas '49 said.

Panel of experts discusses world trade, GATT

By Tim Fitzgibbons | May 12, 1994

Three experts on global trade faced off yesterday afternoon to debate the future of trade barriers and human-rights issues in world commerce. About 150 people gathered in Cook Auditorium to hear representatives from Japan, the European Union and the United States discuss their nation's roles in the future of world trade. Each of the participants gave a short address detailing his views about the evolution of world trade and the results of the latest round of negotiations under the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs, a multinational agreement designed to reduce trade barriers. The agreement resulting from the latest round of GATT negotiations, which was signed by more than 100 countries on April 15 after seven years of wrangling, will create a World Trade Organization intended to increase the ease of liberalizing global commerce. The three panelists agreed that although the treaty did not meet its original expectations it was still successful because it significantly reduced trade barriers and addressed areas not covered under previous agreements. The GATT is "one of the most important developments in world trade in the postwar period," said Andreas van Agt, the European Union's ambassador to America and former prime minister of the Netherlands. But all three stressed the need to continue the liberalization of trade. Masahisa Naitoh, a former director-general in Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry, defended his nation's trade surplus with the United States and Europe. Although noting that America runs a massive trade deficit with Japan, Naitoh said per capita consumption of American goods by the Japanese is higher than per capita consumption of Japanese goods by Americans. "Perception does not always fit reality," he said. But American businesses have difficulty penetrating Japanese markets, said Joseph Massey, a professor at the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration who was recently appointed head of Tuck's new Whittemore Center for International Business. The experts also discussed the role of human rights in trade issues.

ORL to renovate dorms

By Suparna Dutta | May 12, 1994

This summer the Fayer-weather cluster of dormitories will undergo substantial renovations and the Choates cluster of dorms will get some minor ones. The $750,000 renovations to the Fayerweathers will include the installation of carpeting throughout the cluster, new lighting, new furniture and improvements to the heating system to reduce pipe banging, said Woody Eckels, director of residential operations.

Hospital to be razed

By Timothy Fitzgibbons | May 11, 1994

Administrators are beginning to consider the specifics of tearing down most of the old Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital buildings, which stand nearly vacant on the north side of campus. Director of Facilities Planning Gordon DeWitt said the abandoned hospital will not be demolished in a spectacular explosion, but rather will be stripped and gradually destroyed by the end of 1995 or the beginning of 1996. About 400,000 square feet of the old hospital complex, including the Norris Cotton Cancer Center, the Faulkner building and its adjacent clinic, will be eliminated to make way for a new psychology building, greenery and parking space, DeWitt said. Only the radiation therapy department in the two underground floors of the Norris Cotton Cancer Center is currently being used, though the hospital may move some administrative offices into the cancer center this summer, DeWitt said. Some organizations, including the Academic Skills Department, Office of Student Life and Career Services, were temporarily located in the Norris Cotton Cancer Center while the new Collis Center was under construction. When the radiation center moves to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in 1995 or 1996, the complex of old hospital buildings will be destroyed, DeWitt said. A security company patrols the buildings after working hours and on weekends, Associate Director of Facilities, Operations and Management John Gratiot said. At various times before and during demolition, possibly as soon as next winter, attempts will be made to salvage all valuable items from the hospital, DeWitt said.

Town to reopen bridge case

By Steven Hoffman | May 11, 1994

As a result of a vote at Hanover's annual town meeting last night, town officials will reopen discussion of the proposed plan for the replacement of Ledyard Bridge. The vote marks the culmination of months of lobbying by a group called Friends of the Ledyard Bridge that wants to downsize plans for the bridge's reconstruction. But state and federal officials say the plans are final and Hanover officials do not think the town's efforts will lead to any significant alterations. Construction is scheduled to begin in 1996. Following a series of public hearings last spring, state transportation officials adopted a plan to rebuild Ledyard Bridge, which is on New Hampshire's "Red List" of most structurally-deficient roadways in the state. The plan calls for a two-lane bridge with a 16-foot median down the center and a sidewalk and bike path on both sides.

Gap to open June 1

By Breeanne Clowdus | May 11, 1994

On June 1, The Gap clothing retailers will open its long-awaited store on Main Street but without much "fanfare," a spokeswoman at The Gap headquarter said. The store will occupy the entire first floor of the college-owned property beside the Hanover Inn, formerly occupied by Brewster's clothing store. The Gap will showcase summer merchandise at the time of its opening, said Babs Kothe, a public relations representative at The Gap. "No adjustments will be made to the clothing line initially since The Gap caters to the college crowd anyway," Kothe said. All of The Gap stores carry the same merchandise have the same pricing system and perform the same promotional and sales events, Kothe said. "After a store has been open for a while, we will look to see if any special desires exist among the customers and will attempt to market those desires," a spokesperson at The Gap said. One promotion The Gap may offer is a student shopping night, in which the store would open after hours exclusively for student shopping. The Gap is the third business to lease the space adjacent to the Hanover Inn.
