Nine of the arrests were alcohol -related, while the other six were described as disorderly conduct, according to Hanover Police Chief Nicholas Giaccone. In addition, between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning, there were 46 incident reports at the College level according to Proctor Harry Kinne, the Director of Safety and Security at Dartmouth.
Composing a substantial work of music based on a significant work of poetry is not something that is normally offered in most departments here at Dartmouth, either in the music or English departments. That is why Patrick Handler '07, composer and musician, decided to pursue this goal by becoming one of this year's Senior Fellows.

Members of the Dartmouth Big Green Football team, invoking their 2006 motto "Bringing it Back," hope to defeat Holy Cross at the Homecoming game Saturday.
"I don't know whether I'll go," Ellie Chapman '10 said. "I feel like I'm not going to go to a lot of football games this year so I should probably go to the Homecoming game."
Memorial Field has traditionally been the first, and oftentimes only, stop for a Big Green sports fan on homecoming weekend. Some freshmen go to watch their first football game, some freshmen just go to rush the field, and many upperclassmen go to watch the freshman rush the field. While football is a Homecoming staple, Dartmouth's biggest athletic weekend of the fall has much more to offer than just pigskin.
I may just be the only Big Green student to reach her junior year without having ever experienced the glorious event that is Homecoming -- the colossal bonfire on the Green and the innocent freshmen circling the fire to the whoops and hollers of upperclassmen, townies and looming Safety and Security officials posed next to their trusty bikes.
Dear Freshmen,
The Italians have an expression, "ci metterei la mano sul fuoco," which means "I would put my hand on the fire." I'm told that people use it when they are 100 percent sure of something. I think it's strange that at Dartmouth we have a very similar saying: "Touch the fire, freshmen." Although we might not really know why we tell the freshman to touch the fire or why we even have a fire every year, the bonfire is more than a century old and just as popular as ever. A keystone in the Dartmouth experience, the bonfire embodies many of the values that we share as a community, whether or not we're proud of these ethics.
Homecoming weekend arrived more quickly than we could have thought. In no time, the first weeks of class passed by, Greek rush hit and we barely had time to blink before Homecoming fell upon us. It's here now, and we couldn't be more excited to celebrate some of Dartmouth's oldest traditions.
Merritt Jenkins '10 carried two enormous wooden numbers on his way to the River residential cluster on Saturday, Oct. 7. He was upset, he explained, because he had wanted to make the 1 and 0 of the bonfire three-dimensional, with hollow tops, so he could fill the top of each number with chemicals that would combine to make green smoke. Sadly, he was forbidden, and had to settle for the one-dimensional kind instead.
Since 1986, however, when the Friday before Homecoming ceased to be a day off, teachers have had the option of holding classes that day. While some professors choose to move their Friday classes to X-periods, many others still hold class on Friday, much to the dismay of some students.
Perhaps it's the danger inherent in a thousand people, many of whom will be heavily inebriated, running around a 60-foot inferno, or maybe it's the inconvenience of a handful of them, also heavily inebriated, rushing the football field at halftime; whatever the reason, Safety and Security will be taking extra precautions this Homecoming weekend.
Despite threats of three terms of probation, arrest by the Hanover police and a fine of up to $500, daring freshmen continue the Homecoming football game tradition of running down from the home stands, rushing across the football field and storming the opposing side's bleachers during halftime.
A week after inducting new members, many Greek houses will be welcoming back alumni over Homecoming weekend. Whether via barbecues or late- night parties, most of the societies actively welcome back former brothers and/or sisters in one way or another.
