After spending almost a year adjusting to Dartmouth and learning the ins and outs of life in Hanover, members of the Class of 2013 will have the opportunity to introduce their parents to the College at this year's First Year Family Weekend. The basic schedule of events for the weekend which includes library tours, acapella shows, an ice cream social and presentations by acting Dean of the College Sylvia Spears and College President Jim Yong Kim will be similar to last year's program, although most events this year will be held in the Collis Center instead of spread across campus, according to weekend chair Lauren Vespoli '13. "We've tried to make everything more centralized so it's easier for parents to find things," Vespoli said. Members of the First Year Class Council and the Collis Center for Student Involvement office are responsible for organizing the weekend's activities.

Study links R-rated movies, drinking

By JOY CHEN | April 28, 2010

Teenagers whose parents allow them to watch R-rated movies are more likely to start drinking at a younger age than their peers whose parents do not, according to a study conducted by Dartmouth Medical School pediatrics professors Susanne Tanski and James Sargent. "After we adjusted for everything: age, gender, rebelliousness and sensation-seeking, the kids who are allowed to watch R-rated movies are about three and a half times more likely to initiate drinking than kids who said they were never allowed to watch R-rated movies by their parents," Tanski said. The researchers conducted surveys at northern New England schools for students from fifth to eighth grade in 1999, according to Sargent.
