Valley News on Homecoming & Alcohol
The Valley News columnist Jim Kenyon picked up many of our themes regarding alcohol enforcement in a column he recently ran in the Valley News, “Internal Possession.” Good for him.
However, he did miss the point that Phil Aubart recently made on the high cost of being Good Sammed — and how that aspect of alcohol enforcement also impedes Dartmouth students from acting safely.
I wonder if Hanover Chief of Police Nicholas Giaccone is listening?
Kenyon’s piece isn’t online, but we quote it in full here.
