After a spate of student misbehavior that has tarnished the reputation of Dartmouth College, its president on Thursday announced a ban on hard liquor on campus, and threatened to do away with fraternities or other groups that fail to elevate and not denigrate the Dartmouth experience.
In a speech on the Dartmouth campus in Hanover, N.H., to students, staff and alumni, Philip J. Hanlon, the president, said the college would create new spaces for social activity as alternatives to Greek houses, give faculty members more of a role in residential life and provide students more extensive training on preventing sexual assault. But much of his address was devoted to alcohol and the Greek system.
In the majority of alcohol-induced medical transports, it is hard alcohol rather than just beer or wine that lands students on a hospital gurney, Dr. Hanlon said, and so hard alcohol will not be served at events open to the public, whether the event is sponsored by the college or by student organizations.

yeah. that’ll work!
I went to a college with separate sex dorms and a very strong no booze of any kind rule.
Sex and booze ran nonstop.
Students are even better than prisoners on getting contraband. It even makes it more fun.

I’m sure there are taverns right across the street that will meet the demand.
The drinking age in NH is 21, isn’t it? Wasn’t there a ban already?
Progressivism is doing more damage to those students than any bottle of booze ever will.
Get rid of the Boone’s Farm and Night Train but not the Jamison.
I went to a few pretty wild parties with Hillsdale college students when I was a youngster.

And Dartmouth students are a bit smarter than your avg jailbird : )
I remember when I went to college I was hanging out at some friend’s dorm room on the bottom floor. Some teenagers knocked on the window and they were selling hard liquor out of a duffle bag. I grabbed a bottle of kahlua; was in a White Russian phase back then. :0
Hillsdale?? Even the top 1% of conservatives luv to party. hee hee.
When I waa in uni marching band the susaphone players would stash beer in their horns for the games.
Hearts full of youth
Hearts full of truth
Six parts gin
to one part vermouth!
Its the leftist way. They want to micro-manage society, but once in control, they are more puritanical than anyone.
My experience is with Communist China. When Mao took charge, drug dealers were executed on the spot, addicts were sent off to prison camps, where they either died or became clean, along with prostitutes and operators of bars and brothels. Homosexuals were jailed, and society called them freaks. They know exactly how society is disrupted, having promoted the disruption themselves, and being good Marxists, will allow no chance of it once they are in charge.
Same in Russia, Cuba or any other Michael Moore admired society.
I thought I would never see the day non-sectarian colleges would join the “Gin is Sin” movement. :0
One of the few cases of a successful War on Drugs. China had a serious problem with opium addiction before Mao came along.

Ban left wing professors. That is about 3/4ths of the teachers there, 90% if you don’t include Tuck : )
>>was in a White Russian phase back then.<<
A phase we all go through, along with Fancy Rum Drinks, Chick-tinis, Exotic Beer/Mixing With Beer, and What We Think Are Grown-up Drinks.
God willing, we all land on whisky, neat, with a beer back when we grow up.
The childrefication of young adults continues apace.
