Commencement changes location

By Charles French | June 11, 1995

The brief controversy that erupted this spring when the College announced it would move Commencement from its traditional location in front of Baker Library to Memorial Field, has for the most part subsided. In mid-April the College announced that due to security and logistical reasons, Commencement would be moved from Baker lawn, where it had been held since 1953. Acting President James Wright said the Baker Library location could not accommodate the large crowd that President Bill Clinton is expected to draw. The College estimates 20,000 people will attend Commencement this year, according to a letter released by the Office of the President.

Enrollment committee alters D-Plans

By Charles French | April 20, 1995

For the first time in recent memory, not every student will receive their first-choice Dartmouth-Plan. The Enrollment Committee decided yesterday to deny 65 freshmen their first-choice enrollment pattern to try to break the recent trend of Fall term over-enrollment. The eight-member committee, which handles issues related to the D-Plan, randomly chose the freshmen out of a group of 225 students who requested to be enrolled in their remaining three Fall terms. All 65 will receive their second-choice D-Plan that had one Fall term marked as an off-term. The committee's action is part of a coordinated effort by several areas of the College to curtail rising Fall term enrollments, which in recent years have contributed to long wait-lists for housing.
