New Administrators

Among new personnel at Dartmouth this fall are eight men, four of them alumni, who have been appointed to administrative posts.

Ralph N. Manuel '58, formerly academic adviser at the General Curriculum Center, University of Illinois, has become Associate Dean of Freshmen and Director of Counselling. Mr. Manuel was assistant director of admissions at Dartmouth from 1962 to 1968 and was a member of the Trustees' Committee on Equal Opportunity. Holder of the master's degree from Boston University, he is a candidate for the Ph.D. in higher education at Illinois.

Assisting Dean Manuel in the Office of Counselling are Nelson Armstrong '71 of Newport News, Va., who was active here in the Afro-American Society; and Stuart Tonemah (Oklahoma '65), who has come from Haskell Indian Junior College in Kansas, where he was a counselor.

Harland W. Hoisington '49, formerly director of financial aid at Columbia University, is the new Director of Off-Campus Study and Job Placement for undergraduates. He became assistant dean at Columbia in 1965, after 16 years with investment firms in New York, and assumed his financial aid post there in 1967. His Dartmouth position has been created as a result of the increasing numbers of students taking advantage of the College's off-campus study programs abroad and in ghetto areas in U. S. cities. Adoption of a year-round academic calendar will vastly increase the numbers studying off campus and seeking vacation jobs.

Thomas C. Davis of Barre, Vt., for five years director of the Vermont Office of Economic Opportunity, has been named Associate Director of the Public Affairs Office at Dartmouth. Mr. Davis (Vermont '53), the son of Governor Deane C. Davis of Vermont, will be in charge of regional programs for the Center, particularly with respect to Dartmouth's capabilities for providing training and continuing education programs for state and local government personnel in northern New England.

Bliss K. Thorne '3B of Wilton, Conn., newspaper man, editor, author, and public relations consultant, has become special assistant to Dean Carleton B. Chapman of the Dartmouth Medical School, with responsibility for publications and information. He was a by-line reporter with The New YorkTimes for many years and then engaged in the space program as a writer. In addition to articles about science and aerospace medicine, he is the author of The Hump, a book recounting his experiences as a pilot in the China- Burma-India theater in World War II.

James W. Heffernan, from the Office of Institutional Research at the University of Michigan, has been appointed assistant to the director of educational and institutional research at Dartmouth. Mr. Heffernan (Lafayette '65) has master's degrees from both Columbia and Michigan and is a candidate for the Ph.D. in higher education at the Center for the Study of Higher Education, University of Michigan.

Stanley Dunten (M.I.T. '63) has come to Dartmouth as senior systems programmer at the Kiewit Computation Center. He has been a programmer on the staff of the M.I.T. Computation Center, working primarily on Project MAC.
