New alcohol policies not expected to impact celebrations

Tracy Wang / The Dartmouth Staff Despite concern among students, the new alcohol policies will not disrupt Homecoming weekend activities, according to representatives from Greek letter organizations. 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.

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.

Late Night Eats

Karen Wen / The Dartmouth When I decided to go to Dartmouth, I liked to tell people that I would be immune to the Freshman 15 because I would have to hike 10 miles to the nearest Taco Bell if I wanted a "fourth meal." At the time, I was young, I was naive and I was yet to fall in love with the cheese quesadillas at Late Night Collis. Although we may be in the middle of nowhere, there is no shortage of places to appease your inner glutton after the sun goes down.
