After one term of the new DASH card system, student reaction remains mixed but the College said it has no plans to change the system. Jeanette Montgomery DASH Program Administrator said there has been some student feedback but not a great deal. "That would indicate that there is some acceptance of the program on campus," she said.
Since its inception in 1769, the College's Board of Trustees has encountered many issues that have defined its role and demonstrated the ways in which it has tried to act in the College's best interests. In the history of the board, there are a number of key Trustee issues -- the Dartmouth College case, coeducation, sex-blind admissions, the board's Committee on Student Affairs and investment in South Africa -- that illustrate the changing focus of the board and the interests it must balance in trying to ensure the long-term well-being of the College. Robert Kilmarx, who was a member of the Class of 1950 and a Trustee from 1972 to 1982, said the Board of Trustees is the guardian of the long-term well-being of the College. In fulfilling its charge as guardian, the board has often been forced to balance the College's financial interests with the interests of students, faculty and alumni.
Nearly half the students at the College have now reported symptoms of the virus that causes upper respiratory problems and an itchy rash.

Through its incarnations as a tavern and multiple hotels, the Hanover Inn has been a landmark for members of the Dartmouth community for more than 200 years. The building currently on the corner of Main Street and Wheelock is the fourth building to occupy the site, said Jay Barret, Hanover code officer, who is writing a book about the history of the Hanover Inn. Matt Marshall, manager of the Hanover Inn said, "as far as we know [the Hanover Inn] is the oldest continuously operating business in the state of New Hampshire." The first building was constructed around 1780 by Colonel Ebeneazer Brewster.

David Orr, senior associate director of Alumni Relations, awarded club-of-the-year status to the Dartmouth Clubs of Indiana, Long Island, Rochester and Washington at the annual Dartmouth Club Officers' weekend, which was held at the College this weekend. Alumni Club President of the Year is Michael Carter '77, president of the Dartmouth Club of Indianapolis. Orr said these clubs "demonstrated in all the various roles alumni clubs play, these four clubs have played an outstanding role in the last year." He said the weekend consisted of a series of workshops for the club officers that will hopefully give them a better understanding of their role and running an effective club. "There were workshops about building an effective executive committee, marketing and management," Orr said.
Stretching across the country and varying in size from 6,700 to 50 people, alumni clubs keep the Dartmouth spirit alive. While each club has unique qualities, most aid in the admissions process, aid in job searches, provide scholarships and perform community service.
