Prager discusses role of women in academia

By Omer Ismail | July 11, 2000

While College President James Wright's name is everyday fare in Dartmouth students' vocabulary, Susan Prager's is somewhat less well known. This is ironic since she is not only Dartmouth's Provost, making her second in charge of the College, but she is a woman: setting her in an emerging class of high-level female administrators at elite colleges and universities. Prager arrived in Hanover two weeks before the Initiative was released in last year, and she has since been Dartmouth's chief academic officer.

Rossiter: DDS price hike is not significant

By Andrew Marnell | July 11, 2000

With so many students living off-campus this summer, Dartmouth Dining Services' recent price hikes have been especially noticible -- but according to Director of Dining Services Tucker Rossiter, the increases are nothing to balk at. Both the price of individual food items and the designated meal plans have increased modestly this summer. Rossiter attributed the higher costs to the fact that Dining Services is paying more for some of their items and ingredients.

'05s to descend on Hanover plain

By Kathleen McDermott | July 7, 2000

Jorge Miranda '01 just met with someone working to cure a disease. But the meeting was not with a professor or even a Biology major -- it was just one of what Miranda deems an amazing group of applicants for Dartmouth's Class of 2005. As one of the six senior interviewers this summer, Miranda spends his days interviewing applicants and working on other projects in the admissions office. Along with conducting up to four interviews a day, the senior interviewers also help host the twice-daily group information sessions, work at the reception desk and carry out individual projects, such as updating admissions literature. But by far, the best part of the job is the actual interviews, according to Miranda.

Schechter prepares for leadership

By Mark Bubriski | July 5, 2000

Melanie Schechter '02 never pictured herself leading the governing body of the College's Greek system. Not until the weekend before last Sunday's Coed Fraternity Sorority Council elections did the thought cross her mind, when Sigma Delta sorority's summer President Lauren Smalkowski '02 and a good friend of Schechter's proposed the idea. Profile Schechter, a Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sister, said she "hemmed and hawed" over the notion for the next few days and eventually decided to run for president of the CFSC. Last Sunday night, the summer presidents of Greek houses chose her to lead them in what could be a tumultuous time of change for the Greek system. Just two days after being elected, Schechter received the official mandate from Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman that all beer taps and most bars must be removed before Sept.
