Seaver Peters, Dartmouth's director of athletics, announced last month that the burgeoning athletic department has been reorganized. Dartmouth now supports 16 men's teams and 14 women's teams in intercollegiate competition. The Dartmouth College Athletic Council also administers a three-term physical education program in more than three dozen sports, taken as a degree requirement by all 1,050 incoming freshman. In addition, the D.C.A.C. runs an ambitious intramural program and provides facilities for club sports, employee athletic programs and community programs. The reorganization was undertaken in close consultation with Dartmouth President David T. McLaughlin and has been designed "to improve the quality of the College's overall athletics program within the context of the Ivy League philosophy, while also introducing cost-saving administrative efficiencies," a College source said. Under the reorganization, Peters, who has been athletic director for 15 years, will administer the department's operations through four associate directors.

Louise O'Neal has been promoted to associate director of athletics in charge of all intercollegiate programs. For the past three years, she has been assistant director of athletics responsible for women's sports and facilities management. Alden H. (Whitey) Burnham has been promoted to associate director of athletics for the new areas of alumni affairs and development. Burnham, as an assistant director, oversaw men's sports in addition to other duties. Kenyon Jones has been promoted to associate director for the physical education and intramural programs. Jones has been associated with those programs for 15 years. A search for an associate director of athletics for financial affairs, operations and

facilities management, and employee programs is currently under way.
