A Hanover area resident is suing an online sex site powered by Friendfinder Network Inc., and Various Inc., an affiliated company, for allegedly posting a feigned profile that used her personal information next to a nude photo of another female, according to the Nashua Telegraph. The profile was created by someone using the Dartmouth College network in 2005. The New Hampshire police department found the individual who posted the profile, who admitted to creating it, according to the companies' lawyer, Ira Rothken. The woman, who filed the suit under the pseudonym "Jane Doe," claims the fictitious profile was posted for over a year before a friend brought it to her attention. A federal judge threw out five of the woman's claims because internet sites are protected under federal law from liability for false postings by others, but allowed two to stand in an order handed down Thursday.

Beta Theta Pi national fraternity delayed discussion of the possible re-recognition of a chapter at Dartmouth at a meeting of the national organization's Board of Trustees this weekend. The board decided it would wait to hear more from the Dartmouth Beta alumni group before discussing a decision, Jud Horras, the national fraternity's executive director, told The Dartmouth. Further dialogue between the two groups will occur at some point in the next two weeks, he said. Horras previously told The Dartmouth that the main factor hindering the alumni group's petition for re-recognition was disagreement between Beta national and the Dartmouth alumni group over re-recognition protocols and the proposed structure of the new chapter, including national guidelines that would restrict alcohol use within the chapter's physical plant.
