1975

Having recently attended a Dartmouth Club of Hartford luncheon during which the guest speaker, President Kemeny, announced that the faculty has passed a resolution supporting the abolition of fraternities at Dartmouth, I am in no mood to write this column. Lest anyone forget, the college experience is not confined ex- clusively to the classroom or Baker Library, and while it is no doubt true that some of the fraternities could "clean up their acts" somewhat, the outright abolition of all fraternities is absurd. Perhaps those professors advocating this measure would be willing to house all fraternity members who would no longer have a place to live.

Oh well, it is Christmas and the aforementioned is undoubtedly a joke, so on with the news. Pam Brewer was just named vice president at Salomon Brothers where she is working as a government securities specialist in Philadelphia.

Scott Herriott is amongst a contingent of Dartmouth people and others in a program for advanced teachers of Transcendental Meditation in Livingston Manor, N.Y. They have formed a crisis intervention task force. GeorgeHammond, who has written several essays and short stories, is a member along with Zell Kravinsky. Scott is on leave from the Stanford School of Education and has been in Providence, R. I., serving an internship as a member'of the Rhode Island board of governors of the TM program.

Scott Elliff finished his master's at the University of Michigan in May, and after a vacation in England he has settled in Washington, D.C., where he's working as a budget examiner for health and income maintenance programs at the Office of Management and Budget.

John Lowell, owner-manager of the Highlander Motel and Restaurant in Bridgton, Maine, is engaged to Carrie Lewis. A spring wedding is planned.

In September Bill Merten married Denise Elliott in Stowe, Vt. Denise is a graduate of the University of Vermont and Bill is a candidate for a master's degree in engineering at UVM.

For three and a half years I have written about many classmates' engagements and wedding plans. It seems as though nearly every '75 is now wed and, hard though it may be to believe, I am soon to be added to the list of nolonger-eligible bachelors. In slightly uncorporate-like fashion I recently became engaged to Patricia Hosselton, one of my former students in The Travelers Group training program. My understanding superiors have permitted me to maintain my position in the company, while Pat has changed career direction and is now an assistant underwriter in the Group Department. We plan to be married on May 26, 1979.

With that I conclude the December edition of the '75 class notes. Merry Christmas to all.
