College celebrates Veterans Day with week of events B y MEGAN CLYNE
OPINION
While some presidential candidates who have swung by the Upper Valley speak to large halls, Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) talked in the packed Salt Hill Pub Friday afternoon as staff served food and drinks around him and some patrons of the bar continued to watch a game on television. “There have been lots of things said about me over time,” Christie said. “The fact that I don’t make an impression was never one of them.” At least a couple of hundred people jammed inside Salt Hill for the Republican presidential candidate’s remarks and

At a solemn Friday night ceremony at the College’s Memorial Field, a 12th plaque was added to celebrate the achievements and sacrifices of Dartmouthassociated veterans in the recent wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq. Dartmouth will celebrate Veterans Day until Wednesday, including a banquet, flag raising ceremony and ball. “Dartmouth really focuses students’ attention on Veterans Day,” Chase Gilmore ’16, a member of Dartmouth’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, said.
“It makes a whole week out of it instead of just celebrating Veterans Day on the day itself.” Veterans Day observances commenced at the College with a dedication of a new plaque at the Veterans Memorial at Memorial Field on Nov. 6, according to the College’s website.
The Veterans Memorial consists of a series of plaques set up to honor alumni who served in each American overseas conflict since the first World War. The earliest plaque — honoring World War I veterans — was placed by alumni who had fought in the Civil War. Since then, 11 plaques have been placed to
honor the military service of anyone affiliated with Dartmouth in subsequent conflicts. A sculpture was also dedicated by a group of alumni from Sphinx senior society to honor Dartmouth alumni who served in the armed services. SEE VETERANS PAGE 2
Bored at Baker founder DHMC presents plan to shuts the site down open a palliative care center

In a short blog post, Bored at Baker founder Jonathan Pappas — known online as Jae Daemon — announced that the anonymous social forum will no longer be available at Dartmouth. Pappas runs a number of similar sites through BoredAt, Inc. Pappas will consider relaunching Bored at Baker in 2016, he wrote in the Oct. 30 blog post. Pappas’s rationale for shut-
tering Bored at Baker focused on its time-consuming nature. All other BoredAt websites, such as those at Columbia University and Carleton College, will continue to be active. Since late 2006, Bored at Baker has provided an online space for Dartmouth students to post and interact anonymously. Pappas originally launched Bored at Butler — named for the main library at Columbia — as an undergraduSEE BORED AT BAKER PAGE 5

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center presented a revised plan for its proposed palliative care center to the Lebanon City planning board on Oct. 26. The proposal received generally positive feedback from the planning board, planning board members said. The plan, which has been in discussion for several months, would call for DHMC to build a freestanding palliative care facility to take care of terminally ill patients, DHMC media
relations manager Michael Barwell said. The proposed center would be located in a wooded area on the DHMC property — away from the critical care units where palliative care patients would normally end up — so as to promote a relaxing atmosphere for patients and their families, Barwell said. At first, it would have 12 beds, and that number could expand to 18 over time, he said. DHMC has not submitted a formal SEE PALLIATIVE PAGE 5
