Prof. discusses information security

By Tatiana Cooke | May 18, 2009

File sharing software can lead to breaches in digital security and give hackers access to health care information, Tuck School of Business professor Eric Johnson said in a lecture at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center on Friday. Information leaks have tangible consequences, Johnson said in his address, "Data Hemorrhages in the Health-Care Sector." "My first real personal issue was when my credit card was breached by the old Panda restaurant in town," he joked, referring to the Panda House restaurant, which closed in 2005 after patrons accused the establishment of credit card fraud. As banks increase their online security, hackers are beginning to look for easier targets, Johnson said.

Officials warn students of binge drinking, health risks

By Elise Quinones | May 15, 2009

Students attending Green Key Weekend events may be able to avoid the perils of the Homecoming bonfire and Winter Carnival's frigid weather, but they still face the dangers of excessive drinking and the spread of germs characteristic of all big weekends, according to College health and safety officials. "Generally speaking, Green Key, as some of the [other] weekends, tends to be a bit busier than most weekends," said Harry Kinne, director of Safety and Security and College proctor. During Green Key Weekend, Safety and Security will take precautions in order to be more visible throughout campus, according to Kinne. Safety and Security will be operating with a full staff with two extra patrollers in the nighttime and early morning hours. "We try to be as visible as possible and hope students will contact us if needed," Kinne said.

Sunday festivities played larger role in past Green Keys

By Hank Nelson and Fan Zhang | May 15, 2009

Recalling the Green Key Weekends he enjoyed as a student, John Gaston '85 said he was unsure if his memories of revelry and partying were appropriate for print. "I don't know if they can publish anything I would say about Green Key [Weekend]," he said in an e-mail to The Dartmouth. Green Key Weekend, with its sunny weather, band concerts and nights of revelry, has long been the favorite weekend of the year for many students, several alumni told The Dartmouth. For John Myers '69, Green Key Weekend stands out as one of the few weekends where the festivities continued through Sunday. "One of the things I enjoyed most were the Sunday afternoon bands," Myers said. Sunday parties during Green Key Weekend were a distinctive way to "finish off the weekend," Gaston said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Before the College became coeducational, Sunday afternoons also served another purpose -- many of the female students came to the College for Green Key Weekend from other colleges and universities for the weekend left on Sunday, according to Myers. "If it hadn't been a great weekend with your date and she headed back to her girls' school, you could enjoy that Sunday afternoon band even more," Myers said with a laugh. For Myers, the end of Green Key Weekend was especially memorable. "I don't recall specifically if a potion served at one of the fraternities, called the 'Black Plague,' is still being served," Myers said, referring to a certain Sunday afternoon cocktail.

College sustainability leaders urge partygoers to recycle

By Greg Berger | May 15, 2009

Anticipating dumpsters brimming with plastic cups and cans of Keystone Light, sustainability chairs and members of several Greek organizations said they are taking steps to stay environmentally friendly during Green Key Weekend. Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity usually produces slightly more trash during Green Key Weekend than other weekends, according to Islam Fayed '10, Tri-Kap house manager. For larger Green Key Weekend parties, such as the dance party the party has scheduled for Friday night, Tri-Kap uses kegs of beer instead of cans in an effort to stay sustainable, Fayed said. Kappa Delta Epsilon sorority has more parties during Green Key than usual, starting with its "Tackies" party on Wednesday, according to Carley Markovitz '10, KDE sustainability chair.
