... that Charles J. Turck(pictured) was accused of being a
communist spy during his time as president of
Macalester College? Source: Kilde, Nature and Revelation: A History of Macalester College (2010), page 200
ALT1: ... that Charles J. Turck(pictured) is the longest-serving president in the history of
Macalester College? Source: Gonzalez-Campoy, Macalester Today May 1997, page 9
The article was moved to the mainspace on January 28 and nominated on the same day. It is also long enough at roughy 12,000 characters of readable prose. A QPQ is done. I think the main hook is much more interesting than the alternate, but both are good to go. (AGFing on the first source. As for the second one, I've checked it, and it confirms that Charles J. Turck is indeed the longest-serving president in the history of Macalester College.) --

AGF on the offline source for ALT0, I moved it to the lead sentence where the hook could be supported for DYKCRIT. We can later move that out of the lead.
