Seeking to improve social options at Dartmouth, the Programming Board kicked off some of its new activities this weekend with a revamped Friday Night Dance Party and a comedy show.
The board also has plans in progress for a daily events bulletin and a coffee house in addition to continuing many of its activities from last year.
Linda Kennedy, director of student activities, said the reinstitution of the weekly Friday Night Dance Club was one of the Programming Board's more significant additions.
Programming Board Co-Chair Matt Ellis '97 said the former Friday Night Dance Club died out in 1995 because attendance dwindled.
She said it was held in Webster Hall for a while, but Webster was too large a venue for the event.
Shauna Brown '99, who co-chairs the dance club committee, said the Programming Board allots the funds and the space for the party, and a co-sponsor group is in charge of setting up, getting decorations and handling the publicity.
"The purpose of having different groups co-sponsor it is so it doesn't get stale," Kennedy said.
