Police still investigating KKG incident

By David Kung | November 26, 1996

The Hanover Police are still investigating Summer term's vandalism incident at Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, but do not think their search to find the perpetrators will be successful. In July, KKG was broken into and vandalized while most house members were away on an off-campus "sister overnight." Hanover Police Sargeant Frank Moran said the case may not be closed, but finding the perpetrators "doesn't appear to be terribly promising due to a lack of information or further evidence." Moran said the police have suspicions about the case but "it makes no good to arrest someone on probable cause and not have it proved beyond a reasonable doubt." Moran said the police have essentially stopped questioning students on campus although the case will remain open for six years. Moran said the police have not received enough cooperation from members of the Dartmouth community and said he encouraged any students with information to call him. "They can certainly remain anonymous if they choose to," he said.

Women's hoops wins two

By Justin Evans | November 26, 1996

When women's basketball coach Chris Wielgus went recruiting this past off-season, she went looking for height, and she got with two six-foot centers, but it was the shortest recruit of them all, Courtney Banghart, standing at 5'6" who led the Green over Army on Sunday. Coming off the bench, Banghart's 15 points in her 16 minutes of court time led the Big Green to a 69-48 win over the Knights. If the score didn't convey the total domination that was exhibited by the Big Green, perhaps one simple statistic will do the job.

CCAOD will hold forum in January

By Lillie Ng | November 25, 1996

The College Committee on Alcohol and Other Drugs will hold a public forum in January to discuss College standards pertaining to alcohol and other drugs, the group announced at its meeting last week. Dean of the College Lee Pelton last winter reconstituted the CCAOD -- composed of administrators, faculty and students -- and asked it to examine alcohol use on campus and look for ways to reduce the role alcohol plays in campus social life. The CCAOD has drafted a set of 11 "principles" which the Dartmouth community will discuss at the forum, said Associate College Counsel Sean Gorman, who heads the committee. The principles "should be the foundation of alcohol policy on campus," Gorman said. "They are not rules or regulations or policy," Gorman said.
