Hanover is bracing for its first coed Dartmouth class. The town seems ready for the adjustment based on a recent first-hand appraisal. Major changes seem to be the addition of some dress boutiques, a hair dresser or two, and more diet soda in the Village Store cooler.

Bob Hill could give us his reaction to conditions in the Middle East. He and his Dutch bride Gretchen have been researching Bob's Princeton Ph.D. thesis, "Urbanization and Migration in Iran," on a Ford Grant. Bob passes on the following impressions: Egypt, friendly people; Lebanon, good food; Morocco, excellent handicraft; and Afghanistan, impressive mountains.

Ken Meyercord might be able to add to that list. Ken's been teaching on an assistantship at the American University in Beirut. Or maybe Bruce Kekernot could help, since Bruce spent two years with the Peace Corps in Turkey, two summers working on a drug program through the American Consulate in Istanbul, and a winter skiing in Austria. He married Mary Tharriner in Munich, daughter Lara was born in Austria, and the Kokernots are now in Minnesota where Bruce is getting a B.S. and working in juvenile corrections.
