John Reed, University of Wisconsin, Green Bay, has been invited to serve as a member of the U.S. Committee for Man and the Biosphere. The invitation was issued by the U.S. National Committee for UNESCO. The purpose of the committee is to help shape policy and to identify those elements within the Biosphere program which the U.S. should adopt as objectives of primary concern. The members will also help to identify expert human resources in the country who might be called upon to work on specific research projects. John was also recently named chairman of the U.S. National Committee for the International Biological Program which is coordinated in the U.S. by the National Academy of Sciences.
Hanover High athletic director Forrie Branch's athletes won three state championships this winter - hockey, boys ski championship, and girls ski championship. The Valley News, in commenting on the ski program, gave credit to the late FordSayre, first manager of the Mt. Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, for the youth skiing program which he and his wife Peggy started in the late 1930's while they were managing the Hanover Inn. Today 600 kids per year participate in the Ford Sayre program starting at age eight.
Wayne Donner, son of the late Ward Donner and Hilda Donner, has joined Jake Crouthamel's football coaching staff as assistant freshman coach. He is an Amherst graduate and comes to Dartmouth after one year as a member of Bob Blackman's staff at Illinois.
