Students who are currently going through corporate recruitment, the vast majority of whom are juniors, are interviewing for summer jobs from a variety of employers, most commonly from the financial and marketing sectors. On campus, the corporate recruitment program is run through the Career Services.

In a move that will affect nearly every Dartmouth organization and department, the finance and administrative computing departments will replace the College's 23-year-old accounting software between now and July 1 as part of the Optimum Accounting Strategy and Information Systems project. The computer program that recorded and processed accounting and budget information for the last two decades -- the software Financial Accounting System General Ledger -- will be phased out by a new Oracle program. "The new system will give us better reports of data for decision making," OASIS project sponsor and College Chief Financial Officer Adam Keller said.

Andrew Palmer / The Dartmouth Staff In reaction to the rash of perennial law-breaking that occurs over Winter Carnival weekend, Student Assembly hired a lawyer to give free legal consultation to students who woke up Monday morning to find themselves on the wrong side of the law. John Kacavas, a partner at the Manchester-based law firm Kacavas & Ramsdell, offered five hours of confidential individual consultations in half-hour blocks Tuesday in Collis. The service was first offered in the spring of 2006 following Green Key weekend. "We're offering it again this year because it was a huge success last time," said Josh Jacobson '09, chair of the Committee on Student Organizations, which organized Kacavas' visit. A project proposal had to be resubmitted again this year, but depending on success this term, Jacobson plans on submitting a proposal that will allow for regular attorney visits every term.
