Over a catered meal in the Top of the Hop, Tuck Business School Dean Paul Danos received the chamber achievement award from the Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce Thursday night. At the annual leadership award ceremony, Danos was recognized for his commitment
to Dartmouth, his family and the Hanover community. Attendees dressed formally at the event’s reception, which was followed by a dinner in Alumni Hall. “Everyone in the Upper Valley is fortunate to have benefitted from the wisdom and foresight of this modest but remarkable man,” Karen Colberg, vice president and general manager of King Arthur Flour, said in
the Chamber’s congratulatory speech. As Tuck’s longest-serving dean, Danos has cultivated local entrepreneurial ventures that have added significant value to the business community, Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Janet Rebman said. Danos has SEE DANOS PAGE 3

The Palaeopitus senior society called on the “Moving Dartmouth Forward” presidential steering committee to increase transparency and better communicate with students. A letter sent Thursday night, signed by nearly 60 student leaders as of press time, suggested reforms like releasing preliminary recommendations for feedback and
detailing its research. Palaeopitus and signatories aim to increase communication between students and the steering committee as recommendations are developed. The letter also asked the committee to update its website more frequently and better publicize its timeline. The letter also questions the selection of the committee’s four student representatives.

The Student and Presidential Committee on Sexual Assault held a town hall Thursday night to discuss its recommendations, released in late October, that aim to combat sexual violence on campus. The discussion centered on five recommendations, including moving Greek houses toward coeducation and banning athletes who violate sexual misconduct policies from participating in athletics. Other recommendations em-
phasized at the meeting included proposals to strengthen language on sexual assault in student organization constitutions, expand the scope of the physical education requirement to include health and wellness or educational programs and encourage students to undergo first-responder training. SPCSA chair Sophia Pedlow ’15 said she was pleased with the discussions but disappointed by the turnout. Around 30 people attended. ELIZA MCDONOUGH/THE DARTMOUTH STAFF
