B y GIGI GRIGORIAN The Dartmouth Staff
Hanover restaurant Orient Chinese and Japanese closed suddenly this week after it was discovered that the restaurant was pouring grease into a Hanover storm drain, according to Hanover town manager Julia Griffin. “The town had repeated incidents with the operators of Orient, which involved their pouring large quantities of grease directly into our storm drain inlet behind the building,” Griffin said.
Griffin added that the management of the restaurant was “untruthful” after being confronted about the matter by town officials and that the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services became involved. After repeated offenses, the act was finally caught on video by a camera installed by the Six South Street Hotel at the request of the town. The water in the storm drain goes directly to the river, and contaminating the water may

College to alter admissions practice
B y WALLY JOE COOK The Dartmouth Staff
Dartmouth will change its practices to protect the integrity of the admissions process for incoming athletes following a federal investigation that uncovered a widespread college admissions scandal and resulted in the arrest of 50 people. College spokesper son Diana Lawrence denied any involvement by the
College in the scandal in an email statement to The Dartmouth. However, she said that precautions would be taken to prevent any such scandal in the future. “ G o i n g fo r w a rd , we will require that, before a coach communicates their support for a candidate to the Admissions Office, that candidate’s athletic credentials are reviewed and approved by an SEE ADMISSIONS PAGE 3
Over 83,000 individuals have contributed to the College’s “The Call to Lead” capital campaign.
B y The Dartmouth senior staff College President Phil Hanlon announced yesterday that the College’s ongoing capital campaign has raised just over $2 billion toward its goal of $3 billion. When the campaign, titled “The Call to Lead,” was publicly launched 11 months ago, the College had already raised approximately $1.5 billion over the course of four years during the campaign’s quiet phase. The campaign — scheduled to end in 2022 — has raised at least $220 million since September, when The Dartmouth reported that the campaign had raised $1.78 billion so far.
According to a College press release, more than 83,000 individuals have contributed to the campaign so far, up from approximately 78,000 donors at the time of the campaign’s public launch. And, just over half of all gifts have been for $1,000 or less. Further, nearly 2,000 individuals have committed to $261 million in bequest intentions. In September, The Dartmouth reported that progress on the College’s capital campaign was outpacing Brown University’s progress on its $3 billion BrownTogether capital campaign. At the time of the campaign’s announcement, its stated goals included
reintroducing need-blind admissions for international applicants; developing financial aid packages that do not include loans; constructing a new 350-bed residence hall; developing a f o u r- ye a r l e a d e r s h i p program for undergraduates; funding in research in the Arctic, energy and cancer treatments; developing a focus on entrepreneurship, business and design on the western part of campus; expanding the Hood Museum of Art; and renovating the Hopkins Center for the Arts. To date, the campaign has already funded 165 new student scholarships, and SEE CAPITAL PAGE 3
