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.

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.

Football seals first 10-0 season

By Kevin Demoff | November 25, 1996

The glow off of the smiling faces of the Big Green as they celebrated their 24-0 shutout of Princeton provided the final illustration to this year's fairy tale of a season, a 10-0 fairy tale that is possibly the greatest chapter ever written in Dartmouth or Ivy League history. If only Princeton had known last year that its game-tying field goal to spoil the Big Green's 1995 championship hopes would leave such a bitter taste in Dartmouth's mouth, the Tigers might have decided against kicking it.

Dick's House aims to become more student-friendly

By Erin Loback | November 25, 1996

Director of Dick's House Jack Turco is creating a Dick's House student advisory board to obtain student input on issues such as the admissions policy for intoxicated students and making Dick's House of better service to students. Turco said the advisory board of seven to 12 students will provide student input from "a relatively small group of students with hopefully a wide spectrum of opinions." He said the advisory group will serve as "a way for student issues to be brought to my attention" as well as a "regular board to bounce issues off of." Turco decided to start the advisory board because "I have often struggled trying to find a way to get student input," he said.

DG adviser complains of Panhell misconduct

By Erik Tanouye | November 22, 1996

Delta Gamma sorority's adviser has accused the Panhellenic Council of violating its constitution in its handling of Delta Pi Omega, which is currently working with the administration to become a new sorority. But Panhell claims all its actions have been constitutional. Celeste Viscardi, DG's adviser, said she addressed her concerns in a letter to Dean of the College Lee Pelton and Dean of Residential Life Mary Turco. Viscardi said the letter was not written specifically to protest Delta Pi Omega. "I know that it ends up being a problem because people think we're doing this" because DG is small and "'we're mad at everyone,'" Viscardi said. Viscardi said she and DG president Kim Papa '97 both wrote letters because they are "opposed to the way it's being handled." Papa declined to comment. "It was essentially focusing on the violation of the constitution bylaws by Panhell with regards to starting a new organization," Viscardi said. Viscardi said if Panhell violates its constitution, there will be serious repercussions "for the women involved in the new organization and the rest of the women." Viscardi said she pointed out the violations not because she is DG's adviser, but because of her obligation to the National Panhell. "It's a simple fact -- they have a constitution and they have to follow that," Viscardi said. But Panhell claimed it has violated no rules. "We are not violating anything," Panhell President Jess Russo '97 said of the formation of the new sorority.
