The University of Rochester has appointed professor William S. Green to the position of vice provost for educational planning. In his new position Bill will be instrumental in the implementation of the Rochester Renaissance Plan, which calls for a new curriculum, more selectivity in undergraduate admissions, new investments in River Campus facilities, and a smaller student body. Bill will chair a residential college commission which will recommend improvements to the character and quality of campus life.

Bill has been asked to begin developing a center for teaching excellence. All of this is in addition to his ongoing role as professor of Judaic studies and dean for undergraduate studies.

The next time you visit your local bookstore, ask if they carry any titles by the Moose Country Press. Featuring stories out of the north woods, especially out of the Mount Moosilauke region, Moose Country Press is a labor of love involving Jack Noon and Bob Averill '72. Two of the works, political satires titled Sit Free orDie and The New Hampshire Primer, were written by Jack under the pseudonym "M. J. Beagle" (the name of Averill's pet beagle). Other works include a novel, The BigFish of Barston Falls, and a personal history by William Morse, a 90-year-old East Haverhill, N.H., native who lived and worked in the north woods.
