Administration's quick response earns students' praise

|

Students receiving the meningococcal vaccine in Alumni Hall yesterday praised the College's ability to disseminate information about the recent cases of the disease on campus and did not express much concern about contracting the infection. They said BlitzMail messages sent to all members of the Dartmouth community, as well as the letter sent via overnight mail to all students planning to be on campus for the Summer term, helped provide information and alleviate fears. The letter, dated June 18, told students that while there is no medical reason for sophomores not to enroll for the usually mandatory Summer term, the residency requirement would be waived for concerned students. Acting Dean of the College Dan Nelson, who signed the letter, told The Dartmouth that "maybe five to six students" have opted not to come to Hanover for the summer because of the threat of contracting a meningococcal infection.
