Digging deep, Inglis '06 goes to Romania to study fossils

By John M. Mitchell | September 29, 2004

Gabrielle Inglis '06 eschewed lazy afternoons on the Green this summer in favor of days exploring Transylvanian caves. Inglis was one of seven American college students among a slew of Romanian cave enthusiasts who spent four weeks recovering ancient bear fossils from the Cioclovina caves in central Romania. The fossils, guessed to be around 12,000 years old, represent the remains of the skeletons plundered by amateur archaeologists looking for a quick buck.

By Kate Lyon | September 29, 2004

A shift in the College's party registration policy has Greek leaders worried that the current practices in determining keg allotment will leave them unable to adequately serve legal-aged guests at their parties -- let alone provide alcohol to everyone present. The old policy allotted kegs based on how many guests the house expected throughout the night.

By Richard Crocker | September 29, 2004

Police warn of heroin's N.H. arrival

By Lizzie Wise | September 28, 2004

The seedy heroin market of Massachusetts may be seeping into sleepy Hanover, and fraternities and sororities should be on the lookout for related burglaries, according to local law enforcement officials. Hanover Police Chief Nicholas Giaccone said that teens and persons in their twenties and thirties, who obtain heroin from a largely Hispanic market in Massachusetts, are targeting rich environments in the area. Robberies have already been reported in Lebanon, West Lebanon and Newport, and Giaccone said he has reason to believe these burglaries were heroin-related, due to intelligence from other area police departments. In a meeting last Thursday addressing social chairs of coed organizations, Captain Frank Moran informed fraternity and sorority social chairs of increased heroin use and of armed robberies in pursuit of money or goods that could be sold to obtain the drug. While houses might start locking their doors or use lead pipes and bicycle chains to protect personal belongings -- as Chi Gamma Epsilon fraternity intends to do -- most members said they were not overly worried. "Seeing as we have nothing of any real value in our house, and none of us deal or use heroin, I don't see Alpha Delta being a prime heroin junkie target in the near future," Alpha Delta fraternity social chair Adam Cohen '05 said. Thus far, fraternities have not experienced break-ins that they attribute to heroin. "We've had brothers from other fraternities try to break in and steal things, but I don't think they were under the influence of that particular drug," Chi Gamma Epsilon fraternity social chair Andy Aranda '05 said. In related news, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, responding to a growing substance abuse problems and a lack of area treatment options, plans to begin an intensive outpatient program for substance abuse treatment.
