Attendance drops for Fieldstock festivities

By Conrad Scoville | August 16, 2010

This past weekend, students dressed in flair were seen playing tug-of-war outside of Baker, eating inordinate amounts of mozzarella sticks on Collis lawn and volleying serves on the Green as a part of the College's fifth annual Fieldstock weekend, which allowed students to form teams and compete against one another. Despite the chariot race's long history as a Dartmouth tradition, the competition saw a decline in participation this year, though this summer's Fieldstock competition was deemed successful by organizers and most Fieldstock chairs interviewed by The Dartmouth. The chariot race featured only six teams, while over 10 teams competed last year, according to Student Assembly Fieldstock chair Amrita Sankar '12. The chariot race and the eating competition were two of the most well-attended Fieldstock events, Sankar said. The large time commitment required by the competitions may have dissuaded many students from participating, according to Chad Hollis '12, Fieldstock chair for Gamma Delta Chi fraternity.
