'Cinema Paranoia' strikes campus

By Michael A> Posey | January 6, 1997

Featuring such blockbusters as this summer's alien-bashing hit "Independence Day" and Roman Polanski's horror classic "Rosemary's Baby," the Dartmouth Film Society hopes its newest installment of veritable Hollywood classics and new-age flicks will cause as much hysteria as its title suggests, "Cinema Paranoia." This term's venue offers a cinematic panorama of films which plays on audiences' phobias and also caricatures some of our more outrageous fears. Michael Ellenberg '97 and Mobina Hashmi '96 suggested the theme after watching "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" a film in this term's series.

Men's hoops poised for Harvard

By Amy Hatch | January 6, 1997

The men's basketball team entered the 1996-97 season with high expectations and so far it has not disappointed as the Big Green have jumped out to an impressive 9-2 (1-0 Ivy) record. For the seniors on this Big Green squad the smell of such victory is particularly sweet, for it was the 1997 class three years ago that experienced the slow 1-12 start their freshman year. "We are just really excited about where we are at," Captain Sea Lonergan '97 said.

By Jess McCarter | November 27, 1996

The dance troupe Pilobolus, which is more than deserving of its definition, gave an astounding program of dance and movement at the Moore Theater last night.

Hanover Police helps to maintain vigil in Hanover

By David Kung | November 27, 1996

Hanover Police maintained vigilant control over students at football games this fall, but the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union claims police removal and arrest of students during intercollegiate football games is illegal. The NHCLU said Hanover Police are also acting improperly by arresting and fining students who rush the field and that field rushing should be handled as a College matter. Imbibing at College football games The debate surrounding the Hanover Police's jurisdiction over students' imbibing at football games centers on one's definition of "interscholastic." Police claim the term applies to colleges, but the NHCLU claims it only applies to high schools. Hanover Police Chief Nick Giaccone said Hanover Police's searching the football stands are enforcing state statute 571-C:2, which prohibits intoxicating beverages at interscholastic athletic contests. But Claire Ebel, executive director of the NHCLU, said the law is "absolutely inapplicable to any athletic event that occurs at Dartmouth College." Ebel said there is a difference between interscholastic and intercollegiate athletic contests. The statue "refers to interscholastic athletic events, not intercollegiate athletic events," she said.
