1972
Greg Yadley joined Bill Enos and Roger Curley in Steamboat Springs, Colo., for a week of skiing in March. Greg was recently elected president of the Tampa Dartmouth Alumni Club, and his wife, Bobby, will serve as the vice president. Bill is still practicing medicine in Washington, D.C., and Roger is an attorney with First Interstate Bank of Arizona in Phoenix.
Bill Schur passed up his usual spring vacation to Florida during pro baseball's spring training in order to attend a spring ski weekend at Keystone, Colo., with the Dartmouth Lawyers Association. Bill attended the Princeton game last fall, and claims to be one of the few loyal '72s who sat through the rain in the second half to see the Dartmouth victory. Apparently the party in Ted Lippman's RV held more attraction for most than the game. They missed a good one.
Gary Null is practicing law with Hughes and Luce here in Dallas, and reports great experiences with a Dartmouth Alumni Trip to Russia and an American Bar Association trip to China in the past few years.
I attended the recent State of the College broadcast, moderated here in Dallas by Skip Hance '55, and liked both the medium and the message, or at least the intent of the message.
The College must de-politicize current discussion and get back to the business of learning. Where Dartmouth students really excel is their independence and motivation. The selection-in process is the whole driving force behind Dartmouth's excellence, and we must be very careful about losing our edge. A number of applicants and their parents attended the address here, and if they weren't already prepared by the mass media, some were surely taken aback by what they heard in the ensuing discussion.
Their main contact with the College at this critical point is through the media and alumni, ana through our dissension we alumni are confirming much of what they see and hear.
Here's hoping that 1989 will see the issue of free speech at the College resolvedalong with some improvements in our media image, and more importantly, improvements in our self image.
Next month, expect an inside report on the Chicago Commodities Board investigation (Pork Belly Gate?) from Fred Crossman and Jim Gottschalk, and a note from Bill Price's 1968 diary.
