As students look forward to a Green Key weekend marked by an endless array of parties, Safety and Security and Hanover Police are preparing to safeguard the campus for the spring extravaganza.
Although they share the same moniker, Green Key Society's relationship to Green Key weekend is a tenuous one.
While students gear up for the flagship weekend of Dartmouth-style carousing, many faculty members at the College remain blissfully unaware of the high-jinks associated with the Green Key holiday.
Green Key weekend may have a history of bringing people together at inebriated fiestas, but this Saturday will also feature an event with a better cause in mind. Saturday afternoon will mark the second annual Festival of Humanity, which aims to raise money for the construction of a Bangladesh orphanage.

For Dartmouth students, Green Key has always been a chance to cut loose in a relaxed atmosphere at outdoor events such as the Alpha Delta fraternity lawn party and Webster Avenue barbecues. While students in other climes may not be as desperate for warmth and sunshine as those in Hanover, many other schools also partake in the spring traditions.
Though Green Key weekend is infamous for its Greek events, the many non-Greek events planned for this weekend promise to make for a diverse Green Key experience. This year's events include a Dartmouth Outing Club festival, a film festival, a Ted Leo and the Pharmacists show and two performances of Shakespeare.
Co-ed sleep-overs on the Hanover golf course may be a thing of the past, but Green Key weekend still manages to bring some revelry to every Dartmouth student's Spring term.
On Saturday afternoon, students will flock to the famed Alpha Delta lawn party, where they will revel in the flow of Keystone, the laid-back, musical atmosphere and the company of 500 of their closest friends.
When students leave Dartmouth College, they take many memories of Green Key weekends with them -- fraternity barbecues with live bands and dancing as well as afternoons on the Green spent lounging on the newly sprouting grass. They also, not too surprisingly, take away memories of alcohol and partying. But while some alumni remember drinking, other graduates have trouble retrieving memories due to the very source of their good times -- booze.
Petition candidates Peter Robinson '79 and Todd Zywicki '88 won this year's trustee election, the College announced early Thursday evening, defeating four Alumni Council nominees. Out of over 35,000 votes cast by more than 15,000 alumni, Robinson received 21 percent and Zywicki received 20 percent.
If Friday Night Rock's first year was about building a fan base at Dartmouth, then its second year has been about trying to bring those fans exactly what they want.
"The real world" -- a term used by parents of graduating seniors to scare their son or daughter to death. Most '05s succumb to the realization that this may be, for lack of a better phrase, their "last hurrah," and have immersed themselves in the culture (if we can call it that) of being a second-term senior. The luckier ones already have jobs lined up at places like Goldman Sachs or have accepted spots at the nation's top graduate programs -- the rest are currently involved in the job-search equivalent of the "salty dog rag."
This brings to a conclusion my ideas, begun in Wednesday's issue of The Dartmouth ("11 Ideas for a Better Dartmouth," May 11).
I honestly don't care if N. Alex Tonelli '06 reads my rebuttal to his recent op-ed ("Fortnight in Review," May 9), but I do genuinely hope that everyone else who read his column does. There were so many factual and contextual errors and misconceptions and outright insults in the editorial concerning the female community on this campus, and the rest of the world in general, that something must be said.

Intoxicated students wary of the Safety and Security Sport Utility Vehicles will have a new type of vehicle to evade -- bicycles. The Safety and Security bike patrol program, established in 1995, reappeared two weeks ago after a year-long hiatus. The bicycles will only be used from April to October.
According to Mark Nuckols Tu'06, humans do not taste anything like chicken. The founder and CEO of Hufu, LLC -- the company that produces hufu, a type of tofu that simulates the texture and flavor of human flesh -- claims that his company's product "tastes like beef but a little softer in texture and a little sweeter in taste."
For College fundraisers, April Fool's Day was no joke. The Kresge Foundation, a private grant-giving organization, promised to reward the College with a whopping $1 million challenge grant toward the construction of new math department home Kemeny Hall if it could raise $10.6 million by April 1.
