Around the Ivies

• We'll send our runners-up: Princeton needs a new president. After 15 years in office, President William G. Bowen announced his resignation. Provost Neil Rudenstine also resigned.

• Yawn: Harvard is in the process of computerizing its library catalog so that students can use their personal computers to search files. The university expects to complete the project by the fall of 1988. Dartmouth students have had the same capability since the fall of 1986.

• Cheaters never prosper? Harvard's honor code is under scrutiny. Statistics show that the school has one case of cheating for every 163 students. (Dartmouth has less than one case in 342.)

• But where will they go in the meantime? Barbara Stevens, an assistant to University of Pennsylvania President Sheldon Hackney, told students to remove the shacks for the homeless they had built on campus. The university plans to build a permanent shelter on the edge of campus.

• At least we know the words: While Dartmouth talks about changing its school song, Syracuse University faces a different problem. A disgruntled alum from the University's class of '28 wrote his alumni magazine complaining that during his reunion "a young lady with a beautiful voice came on stage and sang the Alma Mater. However, she did not appear to know the words."

Not a face-plant: Colin Hall '87 leapsover eight barrels during Winter Carnival.Hall later won the event by jumping 12barrels and setting a Carnival record.
