1974

It is March 15—beware of the ides of March —as I scurry around trying to write this column while trying to prepare for my murder trial on Monday. I had a great victory two weeks ago with a civil rights case, but victories are short lived and I am always on the way to the next challenge. There are never any dull moments in the life of a criminal lawyer.

The Dartmouth Club of Georgia had a great program on February 25 called "Responsible Journalism on College Campuses." The program featured David R. Boldt '63, editor of the editorial page of the Philadelphia Inquirer; Harmeet Dhillon '89, editor-in-chief of the Dartmouth Review; Emily Hill '90, president of Common Sense; Edward Kimbrell, professor of Journalism in Middle Tennessee State University, School of Mass Communications; and Mike Reynolds '90, editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth. Gregory Prince '63 A, an adjunct associate professor of history and assistant dean of the faculty at Dartmouth, was moderator. We had a great turnout and the event was informative and revealing. Tom Johnson was there, as were Rick Klupchack, Dave Cranshaw, Perry Ballard, and a host of others. The discussion was enlightening and I came to the conclusion that it is the alumni who have overreacted to the situation at Dartmouth. It seems that the students are rather neutral about the whole thing and have simply accepted controversy as part of their Dartmouth experience. At any rate, the presentation was hosted by Tom Johnson and he did a great job.

REUNION UPDATE: By the time your read this column, you will have received great detail of our 15th Reunion, June 16- 18. Bruce Williamson in Chicago has done a tremendous job preparing for the event and we all applaud him. Kirk Hinman, treasurer, will be expecting your deposits and positive responses. Please send them to 6402 Karlen Road, Rome, NY 13440. SteveDietz will plan the class executive committee and Steve Severson will head the nominating committee. Please put on your thinking caps and send your nominations to Steve Severson—who will also run a seminar on college ethics. Tom Eggleston is planning a gala class dinner on Saturday. Bruce says we have almost 200 classmates planning to attend and approximately 450 persons, including spouses and children.

Events promise to be exciting and include the band "Flash Cadillac" on Saturday night, a tango contest (winners fly to Madrid in August), a golf tournament organized by Chris Pfaff with trophies and prizes for the winners and golf lessons for the losers.

Unsubstantiated rumor has it that there will be a guided tour of the Dartmouth Review offices which will include free' Dartmouth Indian Review T-shirts and a lecture by Jeffrey Hart. Tom Kent has offered free skiing lessons to anyone who travels to Hanover from south of the Mason-Dixon line. These will be given at his own private ski resort. Bruce Williamson has promised that there will be champagne waiting at the top of Mt. Moosilauke after the hike.

Dick Ellsworth will be traveling all the way from Anchorage, Alaska, and RosalynLoomis Meyer will come from Hawaii. We are also hoping to see: Willie Deevy,George Vorys, Dick Thirlby, Tom Csatari, Randy Barnett, Joe Barnes, PeterHolden, Brook Maese, Tom Short,Rocky Whitaker, and Debbie Raemer. Also present will be Jack Martin, who will fly in from Venice, Italy, to campaign for president, and Meg Winthrop from Bolivia who plans to make it to the Reunion even though she will be on her honeymoon. The Reunion promises to be an earth shattering event.

I can't wait to see all of you in Hanover.
