Lawyer holds free consultation hours

By Xiaolin Zhao | February 14, 2007

Andrew Palmer / The Dartmouth Staff In reaction to the rash of perennial law-breaking that occurs over Winter Carnival weekend, Student Assembly hired a lawyer to give free legal consultation to students who woke up Monday morning to find themselves on the wrong side of the law. John Kacavas, a partner at the Manchester-based law firm Kacavas & Ramsdell, offered five hours of confidential individual consultations in half-hour blocks Tuesday in Collis. The service was first offered in the spring of 2006 following Green Key weekend. "We're offering it again this year because it was a huge success last time," said Josh Jacobson '09, chair of the Committee on Student Organizations, which organized Kacavas' visit. A project proposal had to be resubmitted again this year, but depending on success this term, Jacobson plans on submitting a proposal that will allow for regular attorney visits every term.

Students push for more sustainable DDS

By Jennifer Gaudette | February 12, 2007

As philosophers and schoolchildren ponder the age-old question, 'Which came first: the chicken or the egg?,' in terms of sustainability, Dartmouth Dining Services threw its support behind the egg last year when it made the switch to using only "cage-free eggs" without making any changes in the chickens it uses. Higher costs for more sustainably produced food remain a barrier in the College's attempts to embrace a more socially responsible menu, especially with regards to poultry, according to DDS purchasing manager Beth DiFrancesco. "I think we're really starting to test the waters, but one of the facts of more sustainably raised food is that it costs a lot more money," DiFrancesco said.

Police, Safety and Security prepare for winter parties

By Dane Schlossberg | February 9, 2007

While Dartmouth students look forward to Winter Carnival as a momentary escape from academia, Safety and Security and the Hanover Police see a need to gear up for a weekend traditionally made dangerous by heavy drinking and freezing temperatures. "We are concerned because we do anticipate there will be a lot of people consuming alcohol, and this affects people differently in this weather," Kinne said, predicting the weekend high temperature to be around 18 degrees. Up to three Safety and Security foot patrols will be placed strategically around campus to monitor the well being of Dartmouth students during the festivities.
