Television channel 21, for educational purposes, has been assigned to Hanover by the FCC. The chances of any use of this channel in the near future seem less than bright.
Armed Forces Day was observed in Hanover on May 16 and was climaxed by a parade and review of the combined Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC Units—the biggest military display on the Dartmouth campus since the days of the Navy V-12 Unit.
In response to proposals made by Green Key, the College this summer will install a drugstore-type snack bar in the basement of College Hall and will enlarge the game and recreational facilities there. The new facilities, expected to be ready in the fall for all students, were recommended to the Trustees as a means of strengthening Dartmouth House as a social center for students and their guests.
The Class of 1952, soon to join the Dartmouth alumni ranks, will be headed by Robert D. Brace of Charles River, Mass., as secretary-chairman. Brace, son of Lloyd D. Brace '25, was chosen by the 11-man executive committee elected by 1952 this spring in place of the usual slate of officers. Also appointed to serve as officers after graduation are Donald F. MacLeod of Everett, Mass., class treasurer, and Bernard J. Lewis of Portland, Maine, class agent.
During the past month the College played host for meetings of the New England Deans Association, April 25-26; the Ivy League public relations directors, May 6-7; and the New England College Librarians, numbering some 120, May 16-17. Dartmouth officers in charge of the respective gatherings were Dean Lloyd K. Neidlinger; Sidney C. Hayward, public relations chairman; and Richard W. Morin, College librarian.
A survey by the Committee on Administration has turned up the news that there is less cutting of classes today than in many years. Even while expressing the opinion that cutting was either worse or unchanged, the Faculty provided the facts and figures that proved the current record better than in 1946, when the present cut system was adopted, or in 1934, when specific cut allowances were in effect. The Committee on Administration expressed its confidence in the soundness of the present principle that "each instructor should be responsible for determining to what degree compulsory attendance is needed to obtain good results."
All lovers of the Dartmouth he-man tradition were twirling in their graves last month. A national wire service telephoned to Hanover to find out whether Dartmouth was doing anything to prevent "panty raids" on the girls' dormitories.
