Luella Ball (Mrs. Howard T.) has been an active member of the Republican Women's Club for many years and recently gave a talk at the summer board meeting of the New Hampshire Federation of Women's Clubs in regard to the Crusade Against Moral Pollution. She urged all to express their views on the subject to their senators and congressmen.

Vic Dunbar and his son Donald attended Alumni College in Hanover last summer and then visited relatives in Manchester, N.H., on their way home to Sydney, Nova Scotia.

Bob and Mildred Conant also attended many of the very interesting lectures at the Alumni College and expected to take a tour in September to the Thousand Islands, Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Watkins Glen, N.Y. Mildred was looking forward to seeing the many changes in Toronto where she had lived for two years during the war.

Elmer Tucker still keeps active and goes to his office every morning "unless something more interesting comes up." He was a director of the Holyoke (Mass.) National Bank for many years and when the bank was sold two years ago to the First National Bank of Boston he was asked to continue as a director and member of the executive committee. He says it keeps him busy and interested. However, it did not keep him from contributing an interesting story to a recent issue of the class newsletter.

Dot (Catterall) Colchester reports a very happy and busy summer. She called on AndyComstock at his home in Leisure World, Calif., found him looking well and in good spirits in spite of an eye problem which prevents him from reading and driving.

Transportation furnished by Renza Shepard enabled Carl Forsaith to attend the Memorial Services for Marc Wright on August 8 at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Reading, Mass.

The death of Dr. Les Ashton on September 2 leaves still another gap in our ranks. Les was a popular and well-liked classmate during undergraduate years. For many years he had a large private practice in New York City. In May 1974 he wrote that he was in reasonable good health but had to give up trotting because of shortness of breath. "In my profession I took care of a lot of children and they wore me out."

Dartmouth is now in its fourth year of coeducation. We believe there are not many who will deny that it has been a good thing for this old liberal arts college.

The current 3-1 ratio of men to women results in the admission of only the very top of women applicants and the scholastic standard of the student body has undoubtedly improved. The article "An Irresistible Force?" on Page 22 of the September Alumni Magazine indicates there is growing sentiment for improving the 3-1 ratio. The advantages and disadvantages of such a move are fully explained and the Alumni Council's special committee is soliciting alumni opinion on the subject. They would be thankful for your opinion. Write to your own representive on the Council or to Nancy Kepes '76 the only woman member on the Council.
