Greetings! Short and sweet this month. First, the College has passed along news of another classmate’s writing efforts. Steve Shmanske co-edited two different volumes of work published by the Oxford University Press; the first is The Oxford Handbook of Sports Economics, Volume 1: The Economics of Sports, which he co-edited with Leo Kahane. The second is The Oxford Handbook of Sports Economics, Volume 2: Economics through Sports. They flip-flopped their authorship in the interest of fairness so they each could be listed first. Steve is a professor emeritus at California State University, East Bay, in Hayward, California, where he is director of the Smith Center for Private Enterprise Studies at the College of Business and Economics at Cal State East Bay.


Dana Rowen is the class’ newest representative for the Alumni Council. Look for e-mailings from him or messages on the class of ’76 Facebook page. Andy Gettinger will also keep us up to date with news from the College. Prior to President Kim’s leaving, Andy posted an update as to the initiatives President Kim put in place to deal with current issues concerning hazing, binge drinking and other pressing campus issues. There will be other items posted from time to time so it will be important to catch it when you can. As David Fuller posted, “Why aren’t more people using this?” Take a look.


Martha Hennessey has relayed that she has completed teaching her first Dartmouth undergraduate class, “Educational Psychology.” She was also asked by Peter Hackett ’75 to be involved in 2011 Dartmouth Dance Theater Ensemble’s performance of Undue Influence. She and Peter were the alums in the cast and the balance was undergrads. The performance was a compilation of a cross section of students’ perspectives on social situations at the College as part of April’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Martha found the experience rewarding and enlightening. She also indicated that there is more information available through the College on this and other safety issues at www.securityoncampus.org. Martha had lots more, which I’m sure she’ll be glad to share on the Facebook site. Also, look for more timely news from Martha in the class of ’76 newsletter. She’s able to relay much more in close to real time. My deadline is six weeks prior to the DAM issue date, so don’t count on me for the breaking news.


That’s it for now. Enjoy your summer.
