Tulloch to plead guilty: Story in the Boston Herald. `It's bad closure, but it ends it,'' said a friend of the teens. ``I know it's anti-climactic, but it's better for us.'' Sources say Tulloch wanted to spare parents rigor and embarassment of a drawn-out trial in which their psychological histories would be key.
Also: Gelzinis Column--"Vermont town ready for truth about `the boys.'" Chelsea, Vt., resident Diane Mattoon: "What prompted them to do this? What triggered it? I don't think we know . . . not really.''
Tuesday Happenings: "Community Dinner" 6 P.M., Collis Commonground--More gaiety from the Dartmouth Rainbow Alliance.
"Tuesday Night Movie/Discussion" 8 P.M., 28 Silsby Hall--Watch "Dead Man Walking" and protest the death penalty (indoors this time) with the Greens. Hopefully, protest/discussion will begin after the movie has ended.
"Lunch with DMS Prof. Lori Arviso Alvord" noon, Tucker Foundation--Part of Tucker's "What Matters to Me and Why" program. Alvord is the first Navajo woman surgeon and opened Dartmouth's 1999 academic year. She graduated from Dartmouth in 1979.

Quiet Riot: This evening's protest by students against the death penalty was more the size of a small posse than a mob. Five or six gathered around one of the tables in front of Collis and attempted to light candles in the brisk wind. Eventually, someone brought forth some Solo cups to protect the lighted candles. After taking many more photographs than there were people, the group slowly moved out across the Green in a huddle. Cups in hand, they could easily have been a group of harmless Saturday night revelers quietly sneaking back to their rooms.
I have to say, their introspective and silent tone was a very pleasing and refreshing form of protest for us non-participants. Future protestors take note.

This email's been making the rounds. What could really be so incriminating? Party announcements? Pong tournaments?
Dear Friends,
You are receiving this message because at some point you have expressed support of the work that myself and others are doing to expose the more troublesome aspects of Dartmouth's Greek system. I am writing to alert you to one possible way this work has been facilitated in the past.
Several incriminating documents meant for internal Greek house use have been found on public computers over the last few years, and finding new information in this manner remains a possibility. I would like to suggest that from now on, whenever you use a public computer, you look at the documents that are on the desktop and in the trash to see if there are any that pertain to Greek houses. This is a completely sound, legal, and noninvasive method of gathering information and it will only take a few seconds of your time. Please let me know if you find anything of interest.
I am still in the process of conducting interviews for a longer article on the Greek system, so feel free to contact me if you would like to share your experiences or know of someone else who would.
If you would like to be removed from this list, or if you know someone who would like to be added, please blitz me. The numbers are ever growing...
Happy hunting!
