By Elliot Mattingly | May 19, 2006

The AIDS Workcrew, a Dartmouth AIDS awareness organization that is part of the Tucker Foundation, will hold a commemorative event this Sunday as part of the Global Health Council's 2006 International AIDS Candlelight Memorial. The ceremony will take place outside Collis and include a candle lighting, speakers, and a performance by the Rockapellas, and is designed to coincide with similar events taking place on Sunday in countries throughout the world, despite organizers' fears that Green Key's party atmosphere will reduce the turnout.

Alumni Council to convene, vote on alumni constitution overhaul

By Alex Belser | May 19, 2006

After years of debate, Dartmouth's alumni "senate" will vote this Green Key Weekend on a proposed overhaul of the alumni government. Approximately 75 members of the Alumni Council, one of two alumni governing organizations, arrived yesterday for a three-day meeting to culminate Saturday with a vote on a new alumni constitution. The constitution would formally consolidate the Council into the second, wider group, the Association of Alumni, which consists of all Dartmouth graduates. It would also expand the Council to some 125 members from around 100 and rename it the Alumni Assembly, while creating a separate new 16-member Alumni Liaison Board charged with representing "alumni sentiment" to the College's Board of Trustees. Supporters like current Council president Rick Routhier '73 Tu'76 hope the new document would make things easier and more open than under the current two-tiered structure. "It's cumbersome," Routhier said.
