If you read College Insurrection, you know Harvard is cracking down on college parties.

Now it looks as though Dartmouth is about to do the same by conducting unannounced walkthroughs of dorms and Greek Houses. Doesn’t that count as a violation of privacy? Joseph Asch of Dartblog (an alumni blog) reports.

Unannounced walkthoughs of Greek houses and dorms are on the way. It is a matter of when, not if. The open question remains as to their purpose.

In a brief discussion this summer, Harry Kinne mentioned to me that due to manpower constraints, the number of walkthroughs would be extremely limited, and that Safety & Security’s goal was harm reduction; walkthroughs were not an effort to nab students for minor violations of the alcohol laws.

Addendum: The Dartmouth’s opinion page staff, in a notably outspoken and unanimous Short Answer piece today, derided both the new alcohol rules and the manner in which they were presented to the student body this summer (actually, imposed in the more accurate word here).
