Roughly one-fifth of the class of 2016, or 244 students, applied for this summer’s recruiting cycle. The Center for Professional Development hosted recruitment, assistant director for employer relations Fiona Cooke said. Two hundred were offered first-round in-

terviews, and the number of students who will take jobs is not yet finalized. The number of students participating in the process has increased for the past several years. Last summer, 235 students participated in recruiting, and 201 students participated in 2012. By contrast, only 154 students participated in recruitment for fall and winter intern-

ships in 2009. The number of applications has increased between 2012 and 2013. In 2012, students submitted a total of 1,122 applications compared to 2,120 in 2013. While commonly referred to by students as “corporate recruiting,” Cooke stressed that opportunities exist outside the fields of finance and SEE RECRUITING PAGE 5

Abolishing the College’s Greek system was the most popular online submission that the presidential steering committee for Moving Dartmouth Forward received, the group announced on Wednesday. The preliminary findings released by the committee did not include feedback from means other than online submissions, such as discussion groups. The committee received more than 250 online suggestions to abolish the Greek system. The next most popular suggestion for the creation for more alternative social spaces and activities received fewer than 125 suggestions. Other proposals included creating and enforcing harsher penalties for drinking and a zerotolerance policy for sexual assault. Submissions relating to the Greek system received

the highest number of suggestions, just shy of 600. Both sexual assault and drinking received more than 300 suggestions each. The majority of those who submitted suggestions about the Greek system said they considered it a problem. Around 450 said they saw it as a problem, while just over 100 said that it was not. Over 1,600 people submitted suggestions online as of July 30. Alumni made up more than 1,200 respondents, while fewer than 100 students submitted suggestions. More than 100 parents and fewer than 100 professors also responded. The report did not inlcude exact figures.

While searching his car, the police found what they SEE GUN CONTROL PAGE 5
