Hanover businesses stock shelves, prepare for Carnival

By Hillary Wool | February 10, 2006

Hanover businesses are stocking shelves and rounding up employees in anticipation of the alumni and visitors who pour into town over Winter Carnival weekend. As in past years, the Hanover Inn is completely booked, and it has been for 18 months, according to front office manager Kris Browne, who noted that alumni clubs accounted for many of the rooms. "We're not sold out because of Winter Carnival, we're sold out because of a club officers event," Browne said. Browne added that she also expects the Inn's restaurants to do well. Molly's Restaurant and Bar should also see a high turnout this weekend, said general manager Thomas Curtis. "We're just always packed, but Winter Carnival is a significant contribution," Curtis said.

By Conlan | February 10, 2006

Courtesy of the Dartmouth College Library From the construction of the first sculpture in 1925 to the building of the 2006 model, the tradition of carving giant statues of snow and ice has enthralled generations of Dartmouth students. In the 80-year history of the Carnival snow sculpture, the statues have changed and evolved, reflecting the interests and values of Dartmouth students. The first Winter Carnival at Dartmouth, held in 1910, was not yet known as "Winter Carnival" and did not include a sculpture.

Frats, alumni remember wild parties, antics, nudity

By By Christine Paquin & Marina Agapakis | February 10, 2006

Courtesy of the Dartmouth College Library One of the College's most enduring traditions, Winter Carnival has been characterized by alumni as a weekend of blizzards, basement bashes and beer. While Carnival is traditionally a celebration of the season, parties and Greek house events have always dominated the social calendar at Dartmouth. Dudley Kay '69, a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, which dissolved in 1971, said Winter Carnival was not only a time for snow sports and games, but also an opportunity for a weekend of good times. "As a Florida boy, Winter Carnival to me was shiver fest, bad date misadventures, awe over ice sculptures and a whole lot of beer and toxic mixtures in the frat basement," Kay said. Kay, who helped build a gigantic sculpture of a German clad in lederhosen and clutching a gigantic mug of beer during one Carnival weekend, also remembered shivering on the golf course, waiting to watch the ski jump. Bill Murphy '78, a member of Psi Upsilon fraternity, said he remembers flying off the same ski jump on cafeteria trays during Winter Carnival weekend and attending a higher-than-usual number of frat parties. "There were more events, more parties at that time than on a normal weekend," Murphy said.
