Though the College's updated alcohol policy increases the administration's scope in monitoring campus parties, fraternity members said that the new protocol has not frustrated their plans for Homecoming weekend.

Tracy Wang / The Dartmouth Staff Tracy Wang / The Dartmouth Staff Despite uncertainty about what specific activities and events to expect over Homecoming weekend, members of the Class of 2016 said they are excited for this year's Homecoming celebration. Many students expressed interest in the bonfire's construction and the prospect of running 116 laps around the fire, as Dartmouth tradition dictates. "I don't think people really have an idea of what the bonfire is, so I'm excited for everyone to know what's coming and know what they'll be doing and get in on the tradition," bonfire committee co-chair Amanda Winch '16 said. Sarah Young '16 expressed concern about completing the entirety of the 116 laps, while Tim Gorman '16 and Abby Markowitz '16 both members of the varsity cross country team said they are looking forward to it.
