Where Men Are Men, Sheep Are Nervous, And Lamms Are Professors

Colorado Gov. Richard Lamm will teach at Dartmouth College for six months after he leaves office next year, his office announced this week.

The Associated Press reported that the governor announced he has accepted Dartmouth College's Montgomery Fellowship, a privately-endowed post in which he will teach and be available to students.

He will hold the fellowship in residence at the Hanover, N.H. school from January through June of 1987.

"I'm genuinely pleased and honored to accept the Montgomery Fellowship," Lamm said.

"I have learned to love teaching through my University of Colorado class at the Graduate School of Public Affairs. It's imperative the issues I consider vital be shared with our next generation of leaders. Dartmouth is a fine place to find such students."

The fellowships were started in 1978 and endowed by Kenneth Montgomery, a 1925 graduate of the Ivy League school, and his wife, Harl.

Lamm will teach a course in Dartmouth's Policy Studies program.

Previous holders of the fellowship include former President Gerald Ford, former Secetary of State Dean Rusk, former British Prime Minister Edward Heath, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, and authors John Cheever, Bernard Malamud, William Styron, John Updike '54, Kurt Vonnegut and Robert Penn Warren.

Lamm said he will return to Colorado after completing the fellowship. PRINCETON

Clapper Nappers

Two Princeton freshmen recently rescued tradition when they dodged a clanging bell to steal the clapper from the Nassau Hall bell tower. The crazy college hijinks are an annual rite of passage for Tiger frosh.

"Tradition was saved," said Ed, who perpetrated the theft with his accomplice, Jedd. The two daring freshmen refused to divulge their identities, according to The Daily Princetonian.

The clapper-nappers, who disguised themselves as construction workers, convinced a Nassau Hall security officer to give them keys to the bell tower. "They looked like construction workers," the security officer told the Princetonian. "They were scruffy and, oh, gee, I don't believe this."

The one moment of anxiety for the bandits occurred when, while still unscrewing a bolt, one of them realized that the bell was scheduled to ring in just 30 seconds. The two scampered partway down the tower's ladder, waited for the bell to stop ringing, and finished the job.
