Colleagues describe physics professor Walsh as 'an icon'

By Tara Kyle | February 16, 2001

The Dartmouth community lost one of its most beloved members last December with the death of physics Professor John Walsh. "He was an icon -- exactly what you think of as the ideal Dartmouth professor," Dean of the Faculty Ed Berger said of Walsh. After receiving his masters and doctorate degrees from Columbia University in 1968, Walsh spent the whole of his academic career within the tight-knit community of professors and students who work out of the basement offices and laboratories of Wilder Hall. Walsh impressed his colleagues in the physics department from his first day. "We're often wrong with our first impressions, but this time we got it right," Emeritus Professor William Doyle, who was chair of the department at the time of Walsh's arrival said.

College standards violations to be reviewed by single body

By David Klein | February 15, 2001

In response to the Board of Trustee's desire to create a single adjudication body, College standards violations by athletic teams, fraternities, and individual students alike will soon be reviewed by a single over-arching judiciary committee. A recent report drafted by Dartmouth's Group Adjudication Committee, chaired by Senior Associate Dean of the College and Committee Chair Dan Nelson, calls for the establishment of this single judiciary body, the Organizational Adjudication Committee, to review all alleged violations of College standards. The establishment of the OAC stems from the Board of Trustees' Student Life Initiative decision, in which the Trustees proclaimed that "all students and student organizations should be treated under the same set of guiding principles and rules." According to Nelson, through a "single judicial system embracing all student organizations," all students and student organizations will receive the same fair and equal treatment. Currently, misconduct involving the College is evaluated by the particular department the offense falls under.

Attorney fights for abuse victims

By Alison Piper | February 14, 2001

Wynona Ward, an attorney from Chelsea Vt. and founder of "Have Justice -- Will Travel," shared the multi-service model she designed for helping battered women through the legal system in Vermont and spoke about her own experience as a victim and witness of domestic abuse, in a speech yesterday afternoon. Ward addressed over 70 students, faculty and community members in Rockefeller 2 as part of the Gender & Justice Series sponsored by the Dartmouth Lawyer's Association and the Women's Studies Institute for Women and Social Change. In recognition of Vermont's rural landscape, where victims of domestic abuse often live on "isolated back roads," Ward has brought her legal practice into the homes of 38 women since the founding of "Have Justice -- Will Travel" two years ago.
