In Brief.

A recent faculty report on tenure disclosed that the College of Arts and Sciences has exactly 300 faculty members holding regular appointments. There are' 114 professors, 39 associate professors, 109 assistant professors, and 38 instructors. To their number is added 66 with adjunct, visiting or lecturing appointments, plus eight ex-officio members, for a grand total of 374.

Of the associated schools, the Medical School has 116 regular appointees plus 107 adjunct or visiting members; Tuck School has 20 regular members plus six adjunct or visiting; and Thayer School has 19 regular members plus six adjunct or visiting. The grand total of faculty for the entire College is 648.

Reflecting the changing times, a half-dozen mothers attended Freshman Fathers Weekend in February as father substitutes for the first time. They were with 425 dads who came to Hanover for the traditional winter visit with sons and daughters. One or the other parent of about half the freshman class participated in the weekend of talks, conferences and panel discussions, and had a chance to attend classes and watch athletic and cultural events. Among those who addressed them were President Kemeny; Dean of Freshmen Ralph Manuel '58; John M. Haffenreffer '44 of Wellesley, Mass., a freshman father; and Simon Ward '76, weekend chairman.

Final figures on applicants for the Class of 1977 are 5200 men and 1800 women. This is an 8.5% increase for men, and 85% for women, but the latter must be discounted because Dartmouth's adoption of coeducation last year did not occur in time for a normal admission procedure for interested women. The College has also received 250 female transfer applications for 50 spaces in the sophomore and junior classes.

Peter G. Sharpe III has been named Assistant Manager of the Hanover Inn. A graduate of Nasson College in Maine, his hotel experience has been in that state, first as assistant manager of the Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport, and then as food and beverage manager at the Inn Crowd in Ogunquit from 1970 to 1973.

Tom Wicker', Associate Editor of The New York Times, made a three-day visit to the campus, January 2426, as Tucker Foundation Resident Fellow. In addition to a public address on "The University of Crime," about the American penal system, he met with Tucker Foundation interns and other student groups, and spoke to classes in government, history, and Asian studies.

The Green Lantern Inn, known to generations of Dartmouth men, has been razed on South Main Street to make way for a second bank in Hanover. The new bank is the Hanover Bank and Trust Company, organized by the group of business men and citizens of the Hanover area.
