College door locks installation underway

By Charles Gardner | November 6, 2001

Work on Dartmouth's new security system -- which will provide proximity card access to all residential halls on campus -- is well underway and remains on target for a January 1st completion date, according to Director of Residential Operations Woody Eckels. Activation of the system will occur no sooner than Spring term, however, as current Dartmouth ID cards are incompatible with the new hardware and will need to be gradually replaced over the winter. Although installation began in September, the noisiest and most visible phase of the construction process -- the drilling of small holes through building facades -- is only now concluding.

Green '75, Neff defend e-voting

By Matt Lewis | November 2, 2001

While speaking to a Dartmouth audience yesterday, Dick Green '75 recalled a politician's remark that was indicative of his company's struggle to bring electronic voting to the public. "I think he was the first to admit that 'Politicians are very reluctant to change the system that elected them,'" Green said. Despite the inherent fear of any severe shift from the status quo, Andrew Neff and Dick Green fervently believe their company, VoteHere.net, has solved the voting debacle that captured national attention during the 2000 presidential elections. The large amount of attention, though, has ironically hurt the effort to introduce new voting systems, which VoteHere began developing in 1998. "Prior to the 2000 election, many politicians were accepting to online voting," Green said.

Experts criticize juvenile justice

By Reena Dutta | November 2, 2001

Many people have a passion to reform the juvenile justice system -- but because bureaucracy stifles vision and inspiration, few people learn to properly finesse the system in order to achieve positive results, according to adolescent advocate Sister Janet Harris of California. Two critics of the present juvenile justice system, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joseph Brandolino and Sister Harris came to Dartmouth yesterday to deliver a speech entitled "Adolescents Behind Bars: The Juvenile (In) Justice System." The talk covered the general history of the juvenile justice system in America, addressed the issues of how to rehabilitate adolescents and discussed strategies of prevention. Judge Brandalino emphasized how recent trends in the 1980s and 1990s have led juvenile courts to become more like adult courts.

2000 spending accelerated as investment values dropped

By Jason Lau | October 31, 2001

College expenditures increased by over 11 percent in 2001 to a total of $426 million, according to Dartmouth's annual report, which is set to be released next week. According to College Treasurer Win Johnson, Dartmouth boosted expenditures across the board -- making improvements to residence halls, increasing fellowship funding and providing more services to students. He added that another major jump in spending during the last fiscal year resulted from a restructuring and elevation of compensation for College employees. Even as Dartmouth's spending rose, the return on its investments dropped, as tougher economic conditions took hold nationwide.
