Trustees to meet this weekend

By Jen Taylor | April 14, 1999

The Board of Trustees will convene at the College at the end of this week and throughout the weekend for the first time since their surprise announcement in February of the five principles for social and residential change, and indications are the initiative is on the Trustees' agenda. Although Director of Public Affairs Laurel Stavis would not confirm that the implementation of the five principles is specifically on the Trustees' agenda, two students told The Dartmouth last night they and others were scheduled to speak with the Trustees about the revolutionary initiative. In addition, according to the Residential and Social Life Task Force BlitzMail bulletin, the Trustees will discuss the process by which the principles will be implemented. "We anticipate that the Trustees will discuss at their April meeting the process they expect to follow for deciding upon and implementing proposals addressing their principles, and the outcome of that discussion will then be shared with the Task Force and the Dartmouth community," the bulletin stated. Stavis would say only that the Trustees will be discussing "a broad range of issues." Among the issues that will be discussed at the April meeting are the professional schools and the faculty.

Dean of the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration Paul Danos accepted his reappointment at the College for another four years yesterday.

"I do really like the concept of having focus and real high quality in everything that we do," he said. Danos has worked in three major areas during his time at Tuck: globalization, leadership in technology and the use of information technology. "We've created several programs around the world," he said.

Despite Trustee decision, election draws little interest

By Brad Russo | April 13, 1999

The activist atmosphere on campus created by the Trustees' controversial social life initiative has had several far reaching effects -- including the cancellation of all Winter Carnival parties and the delay of a decision on door locks -- but one area which has yet to see that influence is Student Assembly elections. Many campus leaders had once thought the Greek issue would be the trigger to reverse the tide of dwindling interest and involvement in the Assembly and its races.

Gilder explains 'zero-sum' problem

By Mitch Yashiro | April 12, 1999

George Gilder -- celebrated author, economist, technology prognosticator and former Presidential speech writer -- kicked off the Senior Symposium's lectures series with a speech titled, "Why Technology Is Green and Ecology Isn't" Friday night in the Rockefeller Center. Gilder started by throwing a question to the audience, "What do the war in Kosovo, global warming conference in Kyoto and social security crisis have in common?" He explained that all three are based on a "zero-sum" game theory, in which a gain for someone is a loss for others. "It used to be thought that the only way you can improve your own position is to reduce the position of someone else," Gilder said. But Gilder challenged the popular conception by illustrating the three examples.

Dorm construction to begin Monday

By Heather Kofke-Egger | April 8, 1999

Construction of a new building in the East Wheelock Cluster, scheduled to add another 80 beds by fall of 2000, will begin next Monday and add a fourth building to the College's youngest set of dormitories. Initially designed to replace beds lost to building code upgrades of other residence halls, the new dorm, or "pod," was designed to include features that enhance the design used for the first three East Wheelock buildings. The new residence hall will be part of the East Wheelock residential program which is designed to give students more access to faculty and foster a sense of community. The new building will be built between Zimmerman and Morton residence halls and faculty apartments on East Wheelock and North Park streets, Director of Residential Operations Woody Eckels said. Efforts have been made to design a building that is architecturally consistent with the current East Wheelock residence halls without repeating the same mistakes made when constructing those dorms in 1987, Eckels said. Although actual construction of the building structure will not begin until summer, work on the site will be ongoing throughout the spring, including excavation, tree removal and relocation of the cluster's central cooling unit. Construction is scheduled for 7:30 a.m.
