Hanover maintains ties to sister towns

By Dan Duray | May 2, 2005

While a large city like New York has sister metropolises such as Cairo and London, the "Welcome to Hanover" sign displays two inconspicuous flags in reverence of its little-known sister, or "twin," towns of Joigny, France, and Nihonmatsu, Japan. Hanover developed relations with its sister cities in the 1990s for the purpose of fostering cultural exchange, and spends $2,000 per city each year to maintain friendly contacts. "It's been a rich relationship for the town of Hanover," Town Manager Julia Griffin said, "and by rich I mean culturally rich." Hanover and Joigny were joined in a "twining ceremony" in 1993, largely due to a close relationship formed by the Hanover-Joigny Exchange Program, which was established in 1990 by local residents to promote student travel between the cities.

'Unspoken rule' obstructs faculty-student dating

By Jacques P. Hebert | April 29, 2005

Dartmouth undergraduates seeking age and maturity in an on-campus romantic partner are in luck. Though the Dartmouth student dating pool has disappointed some, the College currently maintains no written policy prohibiting students from dating members of the faculty. While student-faculty dating at Dartmouth has not created enough attention to necessitate an official policy, several other peer academic institutions have recently instated guidelines as a result of specific instances. However, a feeling of uncertainty and confusion envelops the issue, leaving students and members of the faculty unsure of what the boundaries are. Director of the Ethics Institute Aine Donovan stressed that maintaining professionalism and a sense of community is important in consideringwhether professors should be allowed to date students. "As a community, we try to counsel professionals that may be entering into areas of embarrassment," she said. While no official written guidelines exist, an unspoken rule bars professors from having an amorous relationship with students in their class.
