Special Feature: The rent's unpaid, dear.
Fiscal infelicity, two (or more) open trustee seats, a deep endowment draw in a rough market. Not to mention the Second Dartmouth College Case. Jim Kim & Co. have a lot to contemplate. Dartblog brings you news and commentary from Hanover and the world at large.

IOC to Look Into Celebrations by Women Hockey Team
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — The IOC will investigate the behavior of Canadian women’s hockey players who celebrated their gold medal by swigging beer and champagne on the ice.
Players came back onto the ice more than half an hour after the 2-0 victory over the United States. Still in their uniforms and with gold medals around their necks, they swigged from bottles of champagne and cans of beer and smoked cigars.
Gilbert Felli, the IOC’s executive director of the Olympic Games, said he was unaware of the incidents until informed by an Associated Press reporter.
”If that’s the case, that is not good,” Felli said. ”It is not what we want to see. I don’t think it’s a good promotion of sport values. If they celebrate in the changing room, that’s one thing, but not in public. We will investigate what happened.”
According to unconfirmed rumors, the investigation will be headed by Chief Nicholas Giaccone of the Town of Hanover Police Department in Hanover, N.H.
“I already have files on several of these girls,” Chief Giaccone was reported to have said. “Cigars is the least of it. I will seek to have their victory annulled and their medals returned to the IOC if it turns out that any Keystone Light or Korbel was involved in their celebration. This kind of behavior leads to utter lawlessness. Trust me, I know.”
Dartblog will follow this unfolding situation closely.
