Class of 2009 sent nine members 'rushing' for tradition

By Julia Hecht | October 13, 2006

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. Last year, at least nine members of the Class of 2009 rushed the football field. Of these students, four were arrested on site and five were subsequently implicated due to an affiliation with the Facebook groups "I Rushed the 2005 Homecoming Game" and "I Rushed the '05 Homecoming Game and Got Arrested." All of the students arrested were placed on disciplinary probation by the College for at least three terms, were required to meet with their Class Dean and were fined $100 by the College. According to College policy, a first violation can be permanently erased from their record as long as no further violations are incurred within one year after their arrest. In court, the students were further charged with criminal trespassing, a violation under New Hampshire law and some with resisting arrest, a class B misdemeanor.
