Earlier this month, the Sherman Fairchild Foundation permanently endowed the Paganucci Fellows Program with $3 million. The program, which started in 2006 and is directed by the Tuck Center for Leadership, is an undergraduate development initiative that provides students with opportunities

to participate in immersive learning projects. Paganucci program director Richard McNulty said that while such an endowment would not necessarily shake up the Paganucci Fellowships in the short term, it has potential longer term effects. “When something’s endowed, it increases the gravitas of the program,” McNulty said. “It makes

While many students spent spring break posting photos of tropical vacations or adventures closer to home, Regina Yan ’19 was clinging to a mountain ledge trying not to get blown away. Her rock-climbing trip in Red Rock Canyon, Nevada with the Dartmouth Mountaineering Club was one of many unconventional trips that Dartmouth students

participated in over the past week. Organizations from the Dartmouth Outing Club to the William Jewett Tucker Center organized trips both within the United States and abroad for a variety of social justice and outdoor-oriented students. Yan said she was introduced to rock climbing during DOC First-Year Trips and “absolutely fell in love with it.” She went on a rockSEE BREAK PAGE 2

The Library of Congress will replace the term “illegal aliens” with “noncitizens” and “unauthorized immigrants” in its subject headings, a decision that was announced on March 22. This change, which was initially proposed by Dartmouth’s Coalition for Immigration Reform, Equality and DREAMers, will lead to a sweep of heading changes for all libraries in the United States and Canada that use records distributed by the Library of Congress. The changes will come into effect no earlier than May 2016. CoFIRED began its grassroots petition for this change in winter 2014, putting forth a petition to the Library of Congress in the summer of 2014. In February of 2015, the Library of Congress posted a public response to the petition on a memo that was made available to all librarians in the internal

system, stating that the petition had not been approved, Cataloging and metadata services librarian at Baker-Berry John DeSantis said. The Library of Congress did not approve the petition initially because the phrase undocumented immigrant is not synonymous with illegal alien. Further, the Policy and Standards Division’s usual sources for establishing legal terminology use illegal aliens. The division chose to keep the established heading and continue to look into the situation. After the rejection, the American Library Association took up the cause and put forward a resolution. In a meeting of higher administration in February, the Library of Congress discussed ALA’s resolution, DeSantis said, adding that the sudden approval of terminolSEE COFIRED PAGE 5

Services offer iPhone repairs

An icy sidewalk, a dropped phone, a shattered screen. Many Dartmouth students experience challenges associated with a broken cellphone each term, but new local resources aimed at repairing phones could help. The Dartmouth Computer Store started offering phone repair services last term to students. Theresa Woodward, manager of computer sales and science for Dartmouth’s Information Technology Services, said that there are

currently two technicians certified in phone repairs at the Computer Store. Students with phone issues bring their devices into the shop and will most likely receive their repaired phone the next day, Woodward said. If the issue is extensive, ITS will send the phone to Apple, she said. If this is the case, Woodward indicated that students will receive an interim loaner device that they can use while their actual device is being repaired offsite. Woodward said that the reason that the College decided to provide this service was

because students constantly approached ITS with phone issues. Apple does not typically allow colleges to provide these services, but they agreed to try it out at Dartmouth as a test run, Woodward said. She said she believes it will be a useful tool for students facing technology issues on campus. Erik Nordahl ’16 and Martín Anguita ’16 created a new phone repair service in January — Dartmouth Phone Repairs — after having experienced firsthand the high SEE IPHONE PAGE 3
