1959

"Lefty" and Judy Cline put on a wedding bash last spring for daughter Christina. Among the guests were Bob and Linda Helsell, Bob and Helen King, and Tim andKaren Rich. Tim sent us a photo of this hearty octet, which was taken at the reception in Seattle's Sunset Club following the ceremony. As might be guessed from the robust smiles on the faces of the group, Tim confides that the friendships formed by the four men while undergraduates at Dartmouth have deepened over the years. Of his own children, Tim notes that elder son Nat, Notre Dame '86, is a consultant with Arthur Andersen & Cos., daughter Anne is a junior majoring in theater at the University of Idaho, and younger son Bill is a junior in high school.

Of special interest to alumni (ae) in general, and of particular interest to '59s is an update from Mimi Halpern, wife of the late Ariel Halpern, on the progress on the Ariel Halpern Memorial Fund and plans for its first symposium in business ethics. As of mid-December, the fund had aggregated $168,167 from a total of 130 donors and 12 matching gifts. It is anticipated that some of these donors will be making annual contributions to the fund. The first symposium on business ethics is set for May 26-27, 1988, in Hanover, to be entitled "Ethical Issues in Business Reporting." To be considered at the symposium are such timely issues as the use (or misuse) of news organizations by outside sources seeking to manipulate markets; the question of how the ownership of news organizations by larger corporate entities impacts on the conduct of business reporting; and conflicts of interest in business reporting (especially those created by a reporter's access to insider information and by the journalists' ability to influence market forces). The program, sponsored jointly by the Tuck School and the Institute for Applied and Professional Ethics at Dartmouth College, will include a keynote address by a-distinguished business journalist, group discussion of selected cases by participants, a panel discussion by professionals of additional cases, and an open discussion for all attending. Plans for this first symposium are very exciting and certainly focus on a timely topic.

As you may have noticed a couple of issues back, Doug Wheeler, a professor of history at UNH, is engaged in a research project relating to Dartmouth: a short history of Dartmouth graduates and faculty who have served at any time in intelligence services, including those who served in any part of government which used as information military, political, and economic intelligence. He says he would like to hear from classmates or other alumni with current addresses, experiences, anecdotes, and the like. He can be reached at the UNH department of history, Durham, NH 03824, or telephone 603/868-9633.
