Underage, Hanover High partygoers hit up frat row

By William Schpero | February 6, 2007

Nate Mathis '10 was walking with his friend towards Webster Ave. one weekday around 5 p.m. when he was approached by two 16-year-olds who "asked if they could score some weed," he explained. "I laughed it off and said 'Sorry, no.'" Such frat row encounters with teenagers are rare, but a portion of Hanover High School students defy curfew, brave fraternity parties, and risk possible rejection from fraternity houses and punishment from their parents. And it's no wonder fraternities try to keep high school students outside; College and town officials stated that Dartmouth fraternities expose themselves to legal liabilities by admitting them. Several current high school students -- who did not want to be named because of the sensitive nature of this subject -- estimated that approximately one-third of Hanover High's current senior class has visited a fraternity.

By Joe Indvik | February 5, 2007

Why SA Funded the Pow-Wow

By Yuki Kondo-Shah | February 5, 2007

The Student Assembly Constitution preamble directs the representative organization "to foster trust, understanding and communication between and among the members of the Dartmouth community, to provide for the support and development of all aspects of the educational process, to improve the quality of life at the College." The majority of the students in the Assembly, including myself, chair of the Diversity and Community Committee, believe that supporting the Native American Pow-Wow through participation and funding clearly fits these goals. This year's 35th annual Dartmouth Pow-Wow serves as an opportunity for members of both the Dartmouth and Upper Valley communities to observe, participate and learn from a broad representation of Native American dances, music and arts and crafts.
