Tubestock likely to be canceled in 2006

By Jennifer Garfinkel | March 2, 2006

The Dartmouth Tubestock, a summer weekend of intoxication and rafting on the Connecticut River that has never been sanctioned by the College, will most likely be canceled this summer, unless students can significantly modify the weekend in order to secure event permits from the State of New Hampshire, the Town of Norwich and the Town of Hanover. Hanover town manager Julia Griffin, in a meeting with the Greek Leadership Council and the 2008 Class Council members earlier this term, announced that if students do not attempt to secure the required permits, the state would pass legislation before the end of its term to make congregation on a state waterway illegal without a permit. In previous years, though students did not have event permits, local police were unable to prosecute participants because no entity, including the College, officially sanctioned the event.
