Since the National Labor Relations Board’s decision that Northwestern University’s football players are employees of the college and have the right to form a labor union, advocacy for collegiate student athletes has gained momentum. Many demands that are central to this movement appear to have little relevance to the scholarship-free Ivy League: compensation for players, scholarships that cover the full cost of tuition, funding for continued education and guaranteed retention of scholarships for athletes whose careers are ended due to injury. After all, treatment of student-athletes is on the national agenda largely because of the revenue-generating capacities of certain sports; the thinking has been that institutions gaining millions of dollars in lucrative television deals are obligated to the students whose performance enables such revenue.

When Baker-Berry library began staying open 24 hours a day during reading and finals period last fall, the intention was to accommodate students' need for a study space well past the library's usual 2 a.m. closing time. The policy, however, has unintentionally generated a battle for prime real estate in the library, with some students securing desks for extended periods of time leaving their belongings in place even while they are gone and other students left deskless and hopeless in their search for a quiet spot to work.

While Green Key may lack some of the history and traditions of Homecoming and Winter Carnival, students celebrate the weekends in similar ways with copious alcohol consumption and often raucous behavior. However, a change in Hanover Police's policies regarding intoxicated students led to a drastic decrease in student arrests but an increase in Good Samaritan calls to Safety and Security during Green Key last year Harry Kinne, the director of Safety and Security said.

The Hanover Zoning Board of Adjustment voted unanimously on Wednesday night to approve the College's proposal to reopen the swim docks along the Connecticut River. In affirming the College's plan, board member Ruth Lappin said the proposal effectively avoids compromising water resources for aesthetic value an issue raised by board member Gert Assmus in last week's meeting at which College officials presented their proposal. Following the plan's approval, the College will have to submit a building permit to the town before going forward with construction, according to Joanna Whitcomb, director of campus planning for the Office of Campus Planning, Design and Construction. The College is still waiting for permits from the state Division of Historical Resources and Department of Safety, according to Whitcomb. The new swim dock will be located 200 feet downstream from its prior location and will include a path that satisfies accessibility standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act, Whitcomb said. Because the river docks proposal will require the removal of existing vegetation, concerns surfaced at last week's meeting over the environmental impact of the plan, particularly in regard to erosion and flooding. Roy Schiff, a water resource scientist and engineer for the civil engineering consulting firm Milone and MacBroom, assured board members of the minimal environmental disturbance to the area. Lappin affirmed Schiff's position last night, saying that the proposal effectively meets standards for water quality and erosion control. The docks were closed last summer due to safety concerns, The Dartmouth previously reported.
