Former professor Snell dies at 86

Former Dartmouth math professor Laurie Snell, one of the country's first probability theorists and a lover of tennis, music and the outdoors, died March 19 of acute leukemia at the age of 86, according his wife Joan Snell. Focusing on probability and chance theory, Snell worked closely with top mathematicians during the 1950s, according to his colleague and former research assistant Bill Peterson '79, a math professor at Middlebury College. "If you ever met him at a conference, or for a dinner, he would just regale you with these delightful stories from the early days of probability theory and the College's math department," Peterson said. A passionate mathematician, Snell spent 42 years at the College as a math professor.

Voting bill fails to pass House committee

|

The New Hampshire House of Respesentatives Election Law Committee recommended that the full House not pass House Bill 176, which would eliminate students from voting in state or local elections, The Washington Post reported. The committee's vote not to endorse the bill, which failed 13 to 5 at the committee's hearing on Wednesday evening, effectively kills the bill, according to The Post. The legislation attempts to redefine residency for voting eligibility in order to return to the "basic principles of ensuring residency" and protect the "integrity of the ballot process," according to a statement that New Hampshire Speaker of the House William O'Brien, R-Hillsborough, previously released to The Dartmouth. Along with nationally-recognized student voting organizations, College groups including the College Democrats, College Republicans, College Libertarians and Student Assembly openly opposed the legislation.
