Safety and Security, police plan for weekend

By Julia Levy | May 14, 1999

This Green Key Weekend Safety and Security plans to continue enforcing College policy as it does on normal weekends, while being particularly cautious due to the nature of the weekend. According to Safety and Security officer Mark Lancaster, who has been at Dartmouth for 15 years, there is usually an increase in alcohol violations and other types of offenses over Green Key, but he said the increase is not extreme. "When I first came here, they were a lot crazier," he said. Lancaster attributes the decrease in violations to an increase in alcohol awareness and a change in the nature of the students attending the College. But he said more problems than usual are to be expected, because Green Key is one of the big weekends, and more non-students than usual will be on campus. Lancaster said Safety and Security officers will be on bike patrol, cruiser patrol and foot patrol until about 4 a.m.

Alumni reflect on Green Key

By Julia Levy | May 14, 1999

Whether they were roasting stolen pigs, hunting down women, drinking alcohol or just working, alumni interviewed by The Dartmouth said they had strong memories of what Green Key Weekend was like during their careers at the College. Alumni who attended the College before it became coeducational in 1972 said they had vivid memories of Green Key - perhaps because the weekend was a drastic change from day-to-day life on campus. Jack Nevison '66 said he figured out early in his career at Dartmouth that the dating scene was not for him.

Editor's Note

By Sarah Rubenstein | May 14, 1999

It's that time of the year again. Snow and cold winter weather are distant memories, the sun is out, the grass is growing (or at least it has been planted) and the campus is ready to celebrate. It seems like a long time since we've had one of these big weekends.

New Hillel Torah survived the Holocaust

By Ritika Nandkeolyar | May 12, 1999

During services at the Roth Center for Jewish Life last Friday, Rabbi Edward Boraz dedicated a Torah scroll from Czechoslovakia that is over 130 years old and survived the Holocaust. Carol Cram, whose daughter Amy is currently a senior at the College and son Jeremy graduated from Dartmouth in 1993, decided to loan the Torah scroll to the Roth Center, soon after hearing of the construction of the new center for Jewish Life. "Being able to have this scroll here is a wonderful gift," Boraz said. According to Boraz, the scroll was commissioned in 1860 in Tabor, Czechoslovakia. Tabor, which had an expanding Jewish population of about 300 people at the time, has a long historical relationship with Jews.

Assembly opposes moratorium

By Brad Russo | May 12, 1999

The Student Assembly soundly passed a resolution last night condemning the College's moratorium on new Coed, Fraternity and Sorority organization recognition, saying the decision hinders self-improvement efforts by the Greek system and sends the wrong signal to the student body. The Assembly resolution states the "unilateral announcement of this moratorium has convinced many students that the final implementation of the Initiative has been largely determined already and without consideration of student input." It goes on to say the Initiative "should not disrupt on-going student efforts for positive change" and the moratorium creates a double-standard as the administration is continuing to actively pursue other expansions of residential and social spaces. The resolution passed with 41 votes in favor and only one vote against.
