After the first round of Panhellenic Council sorority recruitment ended last Tuesday, Panhell executives said they spent hours calling sorority presidents, asking them to invite more women to their second
round. This followed a guarantee announced in May that all potential new members would receive invitations to round two parties at four houses. While this reform to Panhell recruitment was unsuccessful, others — in-

A restructured leadership team and two new task forces are on Provost Carolyn Dever’s agenda as she moves into her third month at the College. Across its initiatives, Dartmouth must work to create its own image and stop allowing its problems to define it, as it has for decades, she said.

Designing a business plan for a brewery in Switzerland or traveling with faculty to South Africa, among other international expeditions, will soon become the norm for all Tuck School of Business students. As part of a new program announced earlier this month, all Tuck students starting with the Class of 2017 must fulfill a global insight requirement through an international first-

The program will build on an already high rate of foreign travel among students, experiential and global learning collaborative director Becky Rice said, noting that last year more than two thirds of Tuck’s Class of 2014 went on some form of global expedition. “It is our desire to formalize what we have been doing for

Lisa Miller, director of global insight expeditions and on-campus programs, said the requirement will ensure that every student has a global experience. Tuck will develop new programs and modify existing ones to account for SEE TUCK PAGE 3
Panarchy repairs could cost up to $400,000 B y LAURA BUCKLIN
Since a failed fire inspection in late June, Panarchy undergraduate society’s stately white house on School Street has remained empty. The house seeks to raise $100,000 in the next five years, and its members are actively raising money for repairs, including through an online crowdsourcing campaign launched last week. Pre-
construction is expected to begin next Monday. In June, Panarchy members, known as Panarchists, were abruptly instructed to move out of the house due to health and fire code violations. Since then, Panarchy has worked to negotiate with the Hanover fire department and locate funds for repairs. NATALIE CANTAVE/THE DARTMOUTH SENIOR STAFF
