Ethics Institute takes on tough questions

By Jenn Buck | January 6, 2004

Tucked away in Parker House on the north side of campus exists an organization that grapples with problems ranging from bio-ethics to professional behavior. The Dartmouth Ethics Institute, founded over 20 years ago as a consortium for College faculty members to focus on ethics in their respective areas of research, addresses ethical practices on an international scale. Its roots, however, are based in Dartmouth's own, less cosmopolitan past. "Dartmouth was founded on an ethical basis," said Institute executive director Aine Donovan.

Hanover beef sales steady amid mad cow scare

By Zachary Goldstein | January 5, 2004

Dartmouth students and Hanover residents show little concern about the recent discovery of mad cow disease in the United States, as managers of local eateries report no drop-off in sales of beef and steak products. Molly's on South Main Street has continued to sell just as many burgers and steaks as it did before evidence of infected cattle in Washington state surfaced, according to General Manager Tom Crutis. "We haven't seen any drop-off yet," Crutis said, "and I wouldn't expect to see one unless we start hearing about more outbreaks or about more local outbreaks." "The fact that all the diseased cows have been found out West is a big advantage," Crutis said. Toby Fried, owner and manager of Lou's, said that he had expected burger sales to decrease and for customers to be more hesitant about ordering beef, but it "has not been an issue as of yet." It is too early in the term for Dartmouth Dining Services to determine whether news of the disease has affected the sale of beef products in dining halls across campus.
