Construction leaves books homeless

By Alexis Starke | October 13, 1998

About 130,000 volumes will be moved next month from the Baker stacks to the Storage Library, as construction of the Berry Library continues. Construction in the stacks began last summer and will progress gradually until 2000. Volumes will be moved into the Storage Library on Route 120, about two miles from campus, by the same professional team that will move the Special Collections to Rauner Library, Circulation Services Librarian Pamela Ploeger said. Ploeger said Circulation Services has selected books for storage with the goal of minimizing the impact on students.

Inflatable moose provides 'fan entertainment' at games

By Deborah Bernstein | October 13, 1998

In addition to field-rushers and fans with painted chests, Dartmouth football fans at this year's Homecoming should be on the lookout for a giant, waving, inflatable moose. Assistant Director of Athletics Brandon Macneill emphasized that the moose, played by College students John Vallapiano '02 and Chance Hill '01, is "fan entertainment," not a mascot. "We're the Big Green, we're never going to be a moose," Macneill said.

Business Week ranks Tuck tenth

By Brad Russo | October 13, 1998

Business Week magazine ranked The Amos Tuck School of Business tenth for the second consecutive time in its biannual survey of business schools. The University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School finished first for the third consecutive survey. The Tuck School finished first in separate categories in the 1998 rankings for most available faculty out of the classroom, most loyal alumni and best integration of technology into the learning environment. It tied for second for highest percentage of graduates earning over $100,000 per year. Business Week uses student and corporate assessments of the different business schools to compile the rankings -- the only criteria used to judge the schools in the overall competition. Tuck ranked 13th in the corporate poll and seventh in the graduate poll. Business Week Management Editor Jennifer Reingold told The Dartmouth that Tuck's specific areas of strength are accounted for indirectly in the overall ranking within the student and corporation polling. Dean of the Tuck School Paul Danos said he thinks Tuck is unfairly punished in this limited survey because of its comparative smallness. "I'm glad we're in the top 10, but I'm disappointed we're not much higher, because we really deserve it," Danos said.

Leaf peepers save up to see New England for first time

By Lily Maclean | October 12, 1998

Though it sometimes seems like the center of the world for Dartmouth students, Hanover is only a coffee break stop on autumn foliage tours of New England. "Leaf Peepers" roll in on chartered buses and disembark for 15 to 30 minutes to mill around downtown and admire the campus. Foliage tours are a safe and easy way to visit New England, especially for those who do not travel often. Leaf peepers are generally between 50 to 70 years old and come to see New England during the foliage season, which runs from around September 25 through Columbus Day. Tours last for five to seven days, covering the main historical and natural attractions in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and sometimes Massachusetts.

Board weighs town, College interests: Nine out of 11 Planning Board members have ties to Dartmouth

By Brad Russo | October 9, 1998

Due to the recent surge in College construction, some members of the town are raising concerns that so many members of the Hanover Planning Board which approves such plans are directly connected to Dartmouth. Of the 11 board members, nine have connections to the College -- four are employed by either the College or its affiliated organizations, such as the Dartmouth Medical School, two members are married to employees of the College, one is a former employee and two are Dartmouth alumni. These connections have some members of the town worried that the board may be biased in favor of approving College related construction. By the numbers "Just by the sheer numbers, it would imply the game of cards is being stacked or weighted in favor of a decision towards Dartmouth," Hanover resident Frederick Crory said. Crory has had a long-time dispute with the College concerning the construction of the new Rugby clubhouse. A Zoning Board decision declaring that facility educational and therefore exempt from numerous town ordinances, as well as other Planning Board votes -- such as the unanimous approval of the Berry Library plans in a matter of hours -- has sparked much debate about the makeup of town boards. "All of a sudden its a very sensitive issue and there's an outcry," Crory said.

Krusi takes over as dean for '99s

By Vicki Mcgrane | October 9, 1998

From the Class of 1999 to elementary school, Carolynne Krusi is involved with every level of education. The new dean of the Class of 1999 filled the position recently vacated by Kate Burke, who replaced Dan Nelson as dean of upper-class students when he became acting dean of the College. Former Dean of the College Lee Pelton resigned last year to take over as president of Willamette University. Krusi said her new job "entails opportunities to help students think through the ways in which their Dartmouth lives will feed into their later lives." She works with students to schedule the courses they want to take and helps students address academic and personal problems by identifying resources for dealing with them, she said. "I really enjoy working with students, especially Dartmouth students.
