President James Freedman reflected on the changes that have taken place during his 10 years at Dartmouth in an interview on WTSL and WGXL radio stations this weekend. The "Perspectives" interview was conducted by Grant Bosse '94, news director of WTSL and was broadcast on WTSL Radio (1400 AM) and WGXL Radio (92.3 FM) on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Freedman said although the last decade has passed very quickly, "it has been a satisfying period of years." When Bosse asked Freedman how he hoped people will remember his presidency, Freedman answered, "I would hope they would remember that Dartmouth during my years as president became an intellectually stronger and academically more serious place than it was when I took over, and I hope that the next president will set that as his or her mandate as well." "Institutions that don't move ahead tend to fall behind because others are moving ahead," he said.

When the College installed energy-conserving 22-watt bulbs in the early 1980s, students began turning toward additional light sources, including halogen lamps, until the College banned them at the beginning of this year. The more than 1,000 student-owned halogen lamps on campus will be prohibited this Fall term both for energy reasons -- the widespread use of halogens outweighs the energy conserved by the 22 watt bulbs -- and for safety reasons. In response to concerns about halogen lamps, a team of students taking the introductory course Engineering 21 designed a safer halogen lamp last term.
The familiar bull symbol with its curving tail and powerful chest has come to rest on a second-story office next to the Nugget Theatre. The financial services giant, Merrill Lynch, opened an office on Main Street in Hanover yesterday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at which Vice Chairman John Steffens '63 was present. Steffens said Merrill Lynch has been able to expand to small communities such as Hanover because of recent technological advancements. The firm has targeted these communities because they often contain retirement communities which compose much of the company's client base, he said. About 200 offices have opened in small communities across the country in the past few years, Steffens said. Ed Stansfield, manager of the new office, said about 100 people were invited to attend the ceremony, including Hanover selectmen and Chamber of Commerce members. While in Hanover, Steffens addressed members of the Business Bridge Program at the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration. The Business Bridge Program is a four-week business-education course offered to college seniors, recent college graduates and some postgraduates with doctorates. In his speech, Steffens used figures to describe U.S.

Publisher Donald Kornblum, who started the Toothpaste Press in 1970 while he was a student at the University of Iowa, spoke about his experiences operating a small publishing company last night. A small audience of local publishers and other interested people gathered in the Special Collections room of Baker Library to listen to Kornblum's speech "Wake Up and Print the Coffee, 25 Years in Small Press Publishing," which he gave as part of the College's Book Arts Program. The Toothpaste Press was just the beginning for this award-winning publisher. Kornblum outlined his journey from aspiring poet to award-winning publisher and illustrated his experiences with amusing anecdotes from his experiences throughout years of publishing. Kornblum said he decided to enter the publishing field when he wanted to print his own poems. He showed his poems to the publisher of a poetry magazine who said, "You know I always thought poetry should be as difficult to break into as the Longshoreman's Union." With a $35 press he found in an auction house, Kornblum was able to start the Toothpaste Press.
