By Christopher Kao | January 14, 1994

Vice President of Development and Alumni Affairs Stanley Colla said Kent Klineman 54 recently gave the College $2.55 million in the form of a life-income trust. Colla said a life-income trust is a donation that is not avaliable for College use until a time to be specifed by the donor. Meanwhile the College will invest the donation and return the interest to Klineman or whomever he designates. After a time set by Klineman the proceeds from the trust will support the Hood Museum and the general endowment of the College, Colla said. "Its really a remarkable and generous contribution," Colla said. Deputy Director of Development William Davison, who met with the donor yesterday, refused to release more information about the donor.

Rally urges protection of gay rights in N.H.

By Ananth Srikrishnan | January 14, 1994

New Hampshire legislators and other activists in favor of amending the New Hampshire Anti-Discrimination Law to protect the rights of gays, lesbians and bisexuals spoke to a crowd of students, faculty and area residents in a Dartmouth Hall presentation last night. The participants in the "rally" were gathering to support the New Hampshire Coalition to End Discrimination and its efforts to amend the New Hampshire Anti-Discrimination Law. The Coalition's goal is to change the law so that it prohibits discrimination in the areas of housing, employment, public accommodations and access to credit on the basis of sexual orientation. The law currently forbids discrimination on such grounds as race, color, religion and sex. Legislator William McCann of Dover is the sponsor of the amendment.

Students to see course to fruition next term

By Michelle Francois | January 13, 1994

Almost two years after they began designing a history course about refugee problems, Sabine Freizer '94 and Rebecca Eldredge '94 will have the chance to take it. Next term Government Professor Gene Lyons will teach the student-initiated course that addresses the history and treatment of refugees, reasons for migrations and the changing definition of the word refugee. "The refugee movement is a very global issue but it is not really studied in any department at Dartmouth," Freizer said. But she said the College makes it easy for students to initiate their own courses.

With community in mind, Sateia builds a future

By Laurel Smith | January 13, 1994

As the orchestrator of four years of planning and construction on the newly renovated Collis Center, Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia has worked on building a sense of College community with plaster and paint as well as through committees and coalitions. Whereas divisive campus issues can seldom be resolved in a single committee meeting or panel discussion, Sateia said she found it a welcome change to attend meetings that had a more immediate impact on the campus. "I would go to Collis building committee meetings, and we would decide to move a door or put up a window - things were very concrete," Sateia said. "I could see the impact of things we discussed right away, whereas on those other issues, you just work as hard as you can, and hope to make a difference," she said.

Lone Pine obtains liquor license

By Scott Anthony | January 12, 1994

Beer will be on tap at the Lone Pine Tavern for the first time tonight, and for now the doors are open to students of all ages. The tavern, in the basement of the Collis Center, received its state liquor license yesterday but could not serve alcohol because there was not a full staff, Collis Cafe Manager Cynthia Crutchfield said. Because of questions about the feasibility of enforcing the legal drinking age, administrators were originally not sure if the tavern would be open to all students, or just those 21 and older. But Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia said all students will be allowed into the pub as long as under-age drinking does not become a problem. "We are counting on students' cooperation," she said.

Survey questions classroom equity

By Jordy Urstadt | January 11, 1994

The Women's Studies Program will distribute a survey to students enrolled in Women's Studies courses later this term to investigate the way perceived race, gender, class and sexual orientation differences are treated in the classroom. "We are trying to find out how to better integrate issues of diversity in the classroom," said Diane Taylor, co-chair of the Women's Studies Program and co-author of the survey. One in a proposed series of surveys, the goal of this questionnaire is to gauge the success of Women's Studies courses in dealing with issues of diversity into its own curriculum and the daily conduct of their classes. A rough draft of the survey, written by Taylor; Ivy Schweitzer, an English Professor and co-chair of the Women's Studies Program; and Anne Brooks, Women's Studies Program coordinator, was given to two Women's Studies courses last fall. "The fall survey was very repetitive," Taylor said.

Green Card honored at 14 stores

By David Sadoff | January 11, 1994

The Hanover Green Card, which gives students a declining balance account to use at local restaurants, had a successful Fall term and now serves 14 area businesses. "The card is doing better than I ever imagined and it's continuing to grow," said Mitch Jacobs '94, founder and owner of the company. Jacobs founded the card at the beginning of Fall term because he said he felt students would be more willing to spend money at local restaurants than at Dining Services facilities if there was an easy, cashless method. In the last few weeks, the Hanover Green Card added Foodee's Pizza, Co-op Food Store, Co-op Service Station, Chez Francoise, and Subway to the list of Hanover establishments accepting the card. Other Hanover establishments accepting the Green Card include EBA's, Videostop, Panda House Delivery and 5 Olde Nugget Alley. Students with the card put money into an account operated by Hanover Green Card, Inc. The money in this account can then be used at participating restaurants similar to the declining balance system of Dining Services. To begin using the card, students must pay $235: $75 deposit, an initial declining balance of $150 and a $10 per term fee. In the first week of Winter term, the Hanover Green Card has accepted more than 50 new student applications. "The businesses and the students are happy with the service," Jacobs said.

Morrow '92 helps design Mustang

By Timothy Fitzgibbons | January 7, 1994

After devoting two summers to developing the Ford Motor Company's 1994 Mustang, Kristen Morrow '92, Thayer '94 can see the result of her efforts in showrooms across the country. In the summer of 1992, Ford invited Morrow to join a team of engineers in Dearborn, Michigan charged with the task of adjusting the design of the 1994 Mustang for sale in Japan. Morrow said she became interested in automotive design after Ford engineer Will Boddie '67, Thayer '69 visited the College in 1992 for the Mustang's public debut at a reception to recruit engineers. She returned to Ford this summer as the only student engineer on the Mustang design team.
