An Orientation program for new for- eign students during freshman week serves to introduce the new students to the life and ways of Dartmouth students. Lectures and films on current national and international issues serve to stimulate discussions on issues of common inter- ests. Slides and talks by foreign members on their homelands seek to stimulate in- terests and correct Americans ' misunder- standing of foreign customs and societies. Informal meetings and mixers with inter- national clubs of nearby girls ' colleges extend foreign and .American relation- ships into personal friendships. Seated (L to R): A. D. Monglesdorf ' 67 T.

cutter hall Now in its third year, and consisting of 66 par- ticipants lodged in two dormitories, the Cutter Experiment aims at bringing together men of highly diverse backgrounds into a dormitory where their interests can find expression in self- initiated activities. While not a refuge for dis- gruntled intellectuals or maladjusted foreigners. Cutter is a place where the main emphasis is on individualism and mutual respect. The residents of the Experiment, some twenty percent of whom are from foreign countries, give the dormitory a strong international outlook though programs embrace a far wider gamut than foreign affairs. All men are upperclassmen chosen annually by a student committee on the basis of applications. Current residents must re-apply each year, but policy favors a sizeable turnover. Cutter operates on a College-provided budget supplemented by private donations. The program is administered by an elected chairman and sev- eral committees emphasizing widespread partici- pation by all residents. The Experiment ' s unique activities are cen- tered largely in the spacious Cutter Lounge which is equipped with a tape-recorder, shortwave re- ceiver, piano, hi-fi, world globe and a library. Formal programs include dinners with college officials and local and visiting notables such as former Ambassador Ellis Briggs. There are also guest speakers and numerous seminars, ranging from atheistic existentialism to the United Na- tions. On an informal basis are hootenannies, im- promptu jazz sessions, square dances, recitals and the all-important bull and banter of college stu- dents. The Guest Suite, another feature unique to Cutter Hall, is a second focal point of activity. Governor Wallace, Moral Rearmament ' s Peter Howard and CORE ' s James Farmer are some of the many college speakers who have used this facility. Cutter residents are able to talk to their guests over small, informal breakfasts prepared by the residents in the adjoining kitchen. The Cutter Experiment is a student effort and its success is measured in terms of their participa- tion and contributions, with the scope of the pro- gram being as unlimited as the implemented im- aginations of its residents. The goal of Cutter is to make dormitory life a pleasurable and valuable extension of the learning experience.

High atop the roof of Wilder Hall, unbeknown to most students who bravely venture into the physics laboratories to unccner the secrets of the Universe, a small weathered building serves as a monument to many happy hours of education, enjoyment, and escape for the members of the Dartmouth Amateur Radio Association. Hidden away there among a vast array of tine radio equipment built and maintained by the member- ship, one linds relaxation in a chat with Mom in Nebraska, Pierre in France, or Barry in Arizona. This year WIET has been faced with a loss of its staircase from the third floor to the roof and the job of finding someone willing or witless enough to mount a new rotor atop one of the two hun- dred-foot towers that support the antennas and harass low flying birds. But despite these obsta- cles, the station continues to operate in the serv- ice of the Dartmouth community, relaying mes- sages to and from the folks back home, standing by ever-ready should disaster or emergency de- mand a new, dependable communications link with the outside world, providing assistance to those interested in an exciting, expanding activity. wiet Lejl to Right: D.
