The Changing Order

There will be several new faces on the administrative and coaching sidelines this fall. Louise O'Neal has been appointed assistant director of athletics, succeeding Aggie Kurtz, who will concentrate full-time on coaching women's lacrosse and squash. O'Neal comes to Dartmouth from Yale, where she was the assistant athletic director for the past three years. Before that, the Fort Worth, Texas, native was an associate professor and women's basketball coach at Southern Connecticut State College for 14 years. At Dartmouth she will be in charge of the 15- sport women's athletic program and will oversee a staff of 11 coaches. She will also help develop and supervise the enrollment program for women's athletics, prepare the budget, coordinate women's athletic eligibility, and administer all women's home intercollegiate contests.

Patricia Whitney is the new coach of the women's soccer team, which becomes a varsity sport this fall after two years of club status. Whitney held a similar position at Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, New Hampshire, where she was also coach of the ski and tennis teams.

For the first time in over a decade, Dartmouth's head coach of track and field will not be Ken Weinbel, who has left the College to enter business. Weinbel has been succeeded by his former assistant of ten years, Carl Wallin. Wallin dominated the shot put during his college years at Northeastern and at Dartmouth developed a top corps of weightmen who have dominated 35-pound weight and shot-put events at indoor and outdoor events. He will oversee a year-round program that features cross-country in the fall, indoor track in the winter, and outdoor track in the spring. Richard M. Nichols '76 has been named an assistant track coach. The two-time all-America selection and holder of College records in the 600- and 880-yard runs will take a break between his second and third years of law school at the University of California to return to Dartmouth. Peter Fox Smith will assume duties as a full-time assistant track and field coach. He has been the women's varsity track and cross-country coach at the College for the last three years.

Paul Boudreau has been named offensive line coach for the football team. Boudreau, who played under head coach Joe Yukica at Boston College for four years, was offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at the University of Maine at Orono last fall. He succeeds Jerry Berndt, who was named head football coach at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana.
