By Elise Dunphe | May 2, 2003

Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop '37 does not discriminate between drug lords and executives of tobacco companies when it comes to fostering the disease of addiction. He called the tobacco companies "the largest concentration of evil masquerading as big business on this planet," and said that they are equally evil as the dealers of illicit drugs such as heroin and cocaine. "In my opinion, they are all evil," Koop said.

SA moves forward for young trustee

By Jessica Spradling | April 30, 2003

There may yet be a member of the Board of Trustees who grew up on Vanilla Ice, Seinfeld and the Simpsons. Student Body President Janos Marton '04 and Chair of the Student Life Committee Amit Anand '03 announced at last night's Student Assembly meeting that the Assembly's proposal for a young alumnus to join the Board of Trustees met with a positive reception from College President James Wright and Dean of the College James Larimore in a private meeting yesterday afternoon. "There is a very good chance of it succeeding," Marton said of the young Trustee initiative. According to Anand, Wright stressed the need to work "within existing structures" rather than create a new one as the Assembly had proposed earlier. In February, the Assembly narrowly passed a resolution calling for the creation of a new process by which a young alumnus could be elected by students and recent alumni to serve on the Board of Trustees. The Assembly will next meet with the Alumni Council over Green Key Weekend to discuss the possibility of nominating a young alumnus as a candidate. At yesterday's meeting, Larimore proposed a feedback mechanism intended to make students more aware of what goes on at Trustee meetings.
