Hanover, Homecoming, October 15: One only has to jog a few miles here to realize how physically small Dartmouth really is, "and yet how large and precious a jewel. The setting may grow and change, but the mystery and beauty remain intact.

Take the Hanover Inn. It still gleams and shines in its inimitable way, but you've got to look hard for basic pot roast or turkey and fixings. The food has become so exotic, even the local beer on tap is out-of-state, albeit Vermont. I had dim sum and shrimp antipasti, Steve Scott of Wickford, R.I., joined by his wife, Nancy, had shrimp pizza, and Dave and Caroline Schaefer of Concord, Mass., savored the grilled veggies. And some feel the once awesome bonfire is a mere symbol of what it once was, but the College and Town believe we are breathing easier. The preservatives which once made the railroad ties go like an inferno are no longer permitted, making for a docile fire and cleaner air. Times Square sans glitz.

Speaking of glitz, Hanoverians are adjusting their watches to national TV time. All ticket holders to the Homecoming Dartmouth-Harvard football game were ordered to their seats for a 12:30 p.m. kickoff. That's game time on the ESPN cable network. Still Marty and Lenore Bowne of Chatham Township, N.J., made it on time, and Boband Beth Bysshe of Granite Springs, N.Y., and Ted and Anne Suess of Drexel Hill, Pa. And they saw a wing dinger: Dartmouth 38, Harvard 7. The Big Green could do no wrong.

I didn't see Frank Wohl; no doubt he was back in New York boning up for his new post: court-designated administrator of the Fulton Fish Market assigned to oust the Mafia. He's the first administrator chosen to monitor a major business or industry for Mafia infiltration under the Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act known as RICO. A graduate of the University of Chicago Law School, Frank spent seven years in the Manhattan U.S. attorney's office in the 1970s rising to chief of the Civil Division. He is a partner with Lankier Siffert & Wohl.

Chris Harvey of Lutherville, Md., has been elected a fellow of the American College of Radiology, one of 136 selected nationwide this year. The Temple University med school graduate is also president-elect of the Maryland Radiologic Society. Chris and Barbara, a registered nurse, have five children.

Bob Silverman, chairman and CEO of the Winter Construction Company in Atlanta, was named Construction Entrepreneur of the Year by Arthur Young Entrepreneur Services and Venture Magazine. Since 1978, Winter has grown from $3 million to $50 million in annual volume in 1987. Ten percent of profits go to performing arts in cities in which it builds. Bob has an M.B.A. from Columbia.

William Hubbard, director of library services for the Virginia State Library, has been named head librarian at Jacksonville State Universtiy in Alabama. A library science graduate of the State University of New York at Genesco, William had been supervising 26 librarians and 39 support staff with a $13.2 million budget.
