THE COVER

Since English alone has failed to make an impression on those using the Pomalift, the Dartmouth Skiway has resorted to psychology and now prints its signs in Russian, French and German as well. Shown inspecting one of the new signs is the Skiway's manager, former Olympic skier Howard Chivers '39. PHOTO BY ADRIAN BOUCHARD
