Feds may cut aid to rich universities

By Dax Tejera | April 6, 2004

Dartmouth and its Ivy League peers may see a substantial decrease in federal funding for their financial aid programs if House Republicans have their way in new legislation to overhaul a 30-year-old aid system. But Dartmouth officials said that in the event of cuts, the College would remain committed to its long-standing need-blind admissions policy. Proponents of the legislation argue that hundreds of millions of federal aid dollars have been unfairly channeled to wealthy universities at the expense of institutions with a larger base of low-income students and substantially smaller endowments. The current federal aid system in place grants select institutions a minimum base amount to supplement institutional financial aid programs. Those guarantees were established in the 1970s through demonstrations of relative need and shrewd negotiations.

Woodstock -- rich with New England heritage

By Jessica Spradling | April 6, 2004

White churches and whiter Christmases, commons, trees bursting with colorful foliage, wassailing, gentlemen farmers and tiny towns with a long and much-loved local history -- just a few of the images filed in the American cultural imagination under the term "New England." For many Dartmouth students who live in the vast regions of the United States where Wal-Mart and interstates are the rule of the day, part of the allure of Dartmouth is the "New England experience." The College is not shy about capitalizing on this idea, as the Dartmouth view books, with their New England panoramas, promise prospective students the New England they have imagined. Of course, Hanover is not a New England Disneyland. As Dartmouth students from all over the world have to spend four years in Hanover, it is for the benefit of everyone that the town is, relatively speaking, multicultural and modern.
