Kiosk brings African cuisine to town

By Jessica Spradling | January 24, 2003

The sleepy town of Hanover has become a little more international this month as Tastes of Africa World Cuisine and Concepts' Pan-African cuisine joins the mix of Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Thai and others in the mix of the Upper Valley's ever-expanding cultural palate. Formerly Karibu Tule of White River Junction, Vt., Tastes of Africa has recently opened a kiosk in downtown Hanover, upstairs from Panda House Chinese Restaurant. Tastes of Africa was developed by former Everything But Anchovies employee and Dartmouth alumnus Melvin Hall '91 and his wife Damaris, a chef who attended culinary school in her home country of Kenya.

College programs fight drug, alcohol abuse

By Matt Lewis | January 23, 2003

Revisions to the student alcohol policy in recent years have been steadfastly flanked by a flotilla of new and old prevention and treatment programs in the fight against drug and alcohol abuse. With the help of dedicated research institutes, Dartmouth and other schools have not been alone in their search for answers to this stubborn problem. In early January, the Physician Leadership on National Drug Policy (PLNDP) made waves when it distributed its report on adolescent drug abuse to governors and members of Congress across the country. According to the study, drug and alcohol abuse rates among all adolescents remained high.

Greeks criticize new alcohol policy

By Kaitlin Bell | January 23, 2003

Despite administrators' claims that the revised alcohol policy is not designed to specifically target the Greek system -- and that it was crafted with input from Greek leaders -- fraternity social chairs criticized the newly-implemented code for complicating their jobs without producing any foreseeable benefits for either their houses or the people who attend their parties. The policy has been widely heralded by administrators as focusing on education, health and safety instead of punishment, but Greek leaders said the changes affect the logistics of holding parties more than anything else -- and that while they adequately accommodate smaller groups wishing to hold parties, they penalize Greek organizations. "The Greek system is definitely going to bear the brunt of any potential downsides of the changes," Psi Upsilon fraternity social chair Ted Knudsen '04 said.

Coeds see spike in rush interest levels

By Nathaniel Ward | January 21, 2003

Continuing the apparent trend for higher Greek rush numbers this year, coed fraternity houses surpassed their 2002 winter rush numbers by adding at least 30 new members. Last year, 19 members of the Class of 2004 rushed the three coed houses, Phi Tau, The Tabard and Alpha Theta. With a greater number of students participating in rush, Coed Council President Jason Pavel '04 appears to have achieved his stated long-term goal of increasing awareness of coed houses. "I hope that cooperation among the houses will lead to stronger rush classes," Pavel told The Dartmouth last April. Coed houses use a rush method distinct from that used by single-sex fraternities and sororities, Pavel said.
