Per usual, Safety and Security heightens security measures

By Dan Duray | October 13, 2006

Perhaps it's the danger inherent in a thousand people, many of whom will be heavily inebriated, running around a 60-foot inferno, or maybe it's the inconvenience of a handful of them, also heavily inebriated, rushing the football field at halftime; whatever the reason, Safety and Security will be taking extra precautions this Homecoming weekend. A combination of Homecoming's bonfire, football game, influx of alumni and multitude of social gatherings involving alcohol account for the weekend's greater need for Safety and Security, College Proctor Harry Kinne said, whether the officers are needed for alcohol related-instances or a simple medical call. Because of this, Kinne stated that Safety and Security will increase the number of patrols on campus as well as the number of officers working throughout the weekend. "It's clearly one of our busier weekends of the year," Kinne said.

Class of 2009 sent nine members 'rushing' for tradition

By Julia Hecht | October 13, 2006

Despite threats of three terms of probation, arrest by the Hanover police and a fine of up to $500, daring freshmen continue the Homecoming football game tradition of running down from the home stands, rushing across the football field and storming the opposing side's bleachers during halftime. Last year, at least nine members of the Class of 2009 rushed the football field. Of these students, four were arrested on site and five were subsequently implicated due to an affiliation with the Facebook groups "I Rushed the 2005 Homecoming Game" and "I Rushed the '05 Homecoming Game and Got Arrested." All of the students arrested were placed on disciplinary probation by the College for at least three terms, were required to meet with their Class Dean and were fined $100 by the College. According to College policy, a first violation can be permanently erased from their record as long as no further violations are incurred within one year after their arrest. In court, the students were further charged with criminal trespassing, a violation under New Hampshire law and some with resisting arrest, a class B misdemeanor.
