Beta returns as College examines ban on locals

By Casey Aylward | April 7, 2011

Correction appended Despite official College policy that prevents any local Greek organization from colonizing on campus, the Inter-Fraternity Council officially recognized Beta Alpha Omega fraternity as a local fraternity on March 8, making Beta an exception to the six-year College standstill, acting Director of Greek Letter Organizations and Societies Kristi Clemens said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Although the Board of Trustees lifted the ban on national organizations in 2005 overturning a moratorium on any new national or local Greek house enacted by former College President James Wright in 1999 College officials agreed to prevent local Greek organizations from forming at the College and prohibited national Greek organizations from becoming local chapters, Clemens said.

GRE to change in length, format

By John Biberman | April 6, 2011

Students hoping to attend graduate school will be required to take a longer, more reading-based Graduate Record Examination beginning in August 2011, according to the Educational Testing Service, which administers the GRE. The ETS, which tests hundreds of thousands of prospective graduate students each year, announced several changes to the test, including an increase in the test's length from 2.5 hours to four hours, an added on-screen calculator for the online version of the test and the elimination of analogies and antonyms questions in favor of more critical reading questions and multiple correct-response questions, in which students must choose every correct option in order to receive credit, according to the ETS website. While the current test adjusts its difficulty according to test-taker performance with each correct or incorrect response, the new test will enable takers to skip and edit their answers to questions within a given section, according to the ETS website.
