For Trustee The U.G.C.'s Choices

Student hopes that the Board of Trustees will include alumni who have been part of a coeducational Dartmouth and could, presumably, represent a more youthful point of view have resulted in the Undergraduate Council's unsolicited nomination of three recent alumni for the charter trustee position being vacated by Richard D. Lombard '53. The student government has suggested the names of M. Kate Pressman '73, Michael R. Hollis '75, and J. Robert Beck '75 to the board's trustee nominating committee. Charter, as opposed to alumni, trustees are nominated by the board itself.

Lombard, whose term expires this spring, is serving a special one-year appointment to the board in order to continue his work on the Campaign for Dartmouth. He replaced charter trustee David Weber '65, then the youngest member of the board, who voluntarily stepped down in the spring of 1980. Weber had been viewed by many students as an advocate for undergraduate concerns.

Pressman, a graduate of Harvard Law School and the Kennedy School of Government, has held a clerkship with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron White, worked for the Council of Economic Advisers, and presently serves as a special assistant in the Justice Department. She is the widow of Jeffrey Pressman, a member of Dartmouth's government faculty.

Hollis, while a student at the University of Virginia Law School, was elected president of the American Bar Association's Law Student Division. Formerly with the public finance department of Oppenheimer & Co., he now practices law privately in Atlanta. He is also president of Phoenix City Broadcasting Company.

A graduate of Johns Hopkins medical school, Beck is an adjunct professor of biological sciences at Dartmouth and the University of New Hampshire. He served for several years as a senior resident of clinical pathology at the DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center. Presently, he is doing research on computer-diagnosis techniques at the Tufts University-New England Medical Center.

The Undergraduate Council's Committee on Administrative Affairs selected Pressman, Hollis, and Beck from a pool of approximately 15 candidates. Its criteria included ability to make the substantial commitment of time and effort that trusteeship requires, achievement in professional career, and residence at Dartmouth during the past decade.

According to Joel Reidenberg '83, committee chairman, Pressman and Beck were considered by the board when Weber first announced his intention to step down. But, he said, the trustees feared that in light of their career demands, neither would be able to devote the necessary amount of time to College affairs. Nevertheless, Reidenberg feels that the board will treat the students' nominations seriously. All three of the nominees have expressed their willingness to cut back on other activities in order to meet the demands on a trustee.

The Winter Carnival theme was "Hanover Hears a Who," a tribute to Dr. Seuss.Not heard, for the second straight year, were students' prayers for snow and cold.
