1961

We'll have to address Stephen Bosworth in a new way - as Mr. Ambassador. He's been nominated as ambassador to Tunisia, in Northern Africa, after 18 years in the Foreign Service.

According to a story in the Grand Rapids, Mich., Press, Bosworth has never even been to Tunisia, though he has been to North Africa.

"U.S. relations [with Tunisia] have been very good so far," he told the paper. "We're hoping they stay that way."

He's been serving as deputy assistant secretary for international resources and food policy, the latest in a series of posts including assignments as economic officer at the embassy in Madrid, chief of the economic policy staff at the Paris embassy, and as a consulate officer in Colon, Panama, during the 1964 riots. He joined the department within a month of graduation.

The paper recounts the story of Bosworth's ordeal in Panama. News stories at the time described him as "trapped by the Panama National Guard," but later he was reported to be in no real danger.

He and his wife Sandra have two children: Andrew, 16, and Allison, 12.

George Ramming writes: "After 11 years in the executive search and placement field for two major firms, I decided to 'do my own thing.' Last year I formed my own recuriting firm and called it, oddly enough, George Ramming and Associates. We are based in Cherry Hill, N.J., and handle assignments for a wide variety of clients in many industries."

We're falling behind in another measure of Dartmouth activity, according to my calculations - Alumni Council membership. There are no '61s, but two '58s, two '59s, two '60s, one '62, two '63s, and two '64s. Perhaps it's because we continue to be so active in club affairs in our home communities.

According to the just-arrived list of alumni officers, here's how we stack up: club presidents are Russell Boss (Rhode Island), David Cook (western Michigan), David Prewitt (Philadelphia), and Vic Rich (Westchester); secretaries are Tom Allen (St. Louis), RobertGoff (Montana), Mark Grady (Kansas City), Steve Kirschner (Mohawk Valley), MichaelKirst (Stanford), Noel Kuhrt (Wilmington); Pete Stuart is secretary-treasurer in southeastern Connecticut; other treasurers are Roger Baumberger (Long Island), AndrewCohen (Dartmouth Outing Club of Northern California), Carl Craft (Detroit), Kennett Kendall (Rochester).

In addition, J. Michael Murphy (central Florida) and Larry Levy (Westchester) are public information officers; Robert Rentto (San Diego) and Franklin Stephens (London) are liaison officers; and John Damon (Cape Cod) and Tony Field (Paris) are academic affairs officers.

Reliving senior year: Gerry Kaminsky chairing the Interfraternity Council-Undergraduate Council discrimination committee during the college's last major fuss over fraternities and over nationally imposed discrimination. In announcing steps to interview presidents of houses with new national clauses, he said the inquiry "is not intended to be a frying pan for houses ... " Al Rozycki named the winner of the Swede Nelson sportsmanship award. According to the D, he said, "This is one honor where a man can weep and feel no shame." PeteBeneviile requesting $350 from a foundation so the Interdormintory Council could provide some form of entertainment on Saturday nights for the students ... Charlie Brown's upset of National Intercollegiate Champ Bruce Hunter of Harvard ... Ray Welch, in a letter to the D after his Jack O'Lantern had won the right to distribute a Winter Carnival program: "I commiserate with The Dartmouth (for I remember what it was like) and can suggest little besides a belt of Listerine for the taste in its editorial which is redolent of slightly soured grapes. Have you ever seen anybody smile while he commiserated?" ... Dennis Regan at the UGC, arguing for continuation in the National Student Association: "In the absence of a crying need for $450, we ought to remain in the NSA." ... Art Bookstrom wins the Skimeister title at Winter Carnival ... John McKernan's "Adoration" on display at Carpenter Art Gallery ... George Ramming is Ivy Player of the Week in basketball in February ... Dartmouth applications fall off eight per cent. (Those of us who now are in recruiting often find ourselves hoping that Dartmouth applications from elsewhere drop off so our own good guys and gals get in.)
