Students plan for 2000 New Year's

With only three months remaining until the year 2000, students interviewed by The Dartmouth seem to be abandoning bold plans for their New Year's celebration, opting instead to simply hang out with their friends. Kapil Jain '02 simply wants to get together with his friends from home. "It will be very low key," he said. This attitude is widespread at the College -- many students are avoiding any far-reaching, extravagant plans. Miles Harrigan '03 thought of doing something crazy with all of his high school buddies but has since abandoned those plans, pointing out that "it would take too much planning." There are a handful of students, however, who have slightly more extravagant plans. Resembling a nationwide freshmen sweep, Ryan Higgins '03 is planning a week long caravan along the east coast, picking up friends on the way.
