Students fight for kosher options AMP policy

pareve meals. DDS director David Newlove, DDS associate director Don Reed and Dartmouth Hillel executive director Rabbi Edward Boraz declined to comment for the article. Mayer Schein ’16, an Orthodox Jewish student and one of the leaders of the campaign pushing for improved kosher options on campus, said he has been fighting to have his concerns addressed
Administrators involved with the development of the new Alcohol Management Procedures — to be implemented Oct. 19 — said that they hope the policy will make events safer, but they are also willing to work with students and hear any concerns that may arise. The new policy will allow for events with mixed types of alcohol, excluding hard alcohol. Events will also be classified under three tiers — tier one events, defined as those with under 40 attendees or are members-only, will be managed by the event organizers for both security and bartending, and require prior online registration. Tier two events, defined as those with 40-150 attendees, will be required to have a minimum of two Training for Intervention Procedures trained bartenders, two Safety and Security walk-throughs and the required online registration. Tier three events, defined as those with over 150 attendees, will also require prior registration and two Safety and Security walkthroughs, as well as the presence of AMP-trained bartending staff and Green Mountain Security. Third-party security required for tier three events will be subsidized half by the College and half by the organization hosting the event. The cost of security and bartending for social events should not deter organizations from hosting, associate dean of student life Eric Ramsey said. “We’re not trying to price people out of having a social event. We just recognize that some social events require more cost to make sure it’s a safe and responsible event,” Ramsey said. “If financial issues present themselves for any organiza-

Students wait in line at the Pavilion section of the Class of 1953 Commons.

The student campaign to push the College to provide better kosher dining options has been making slow progress in recent weeks, as the working group set up to discuss the issue has yet to meet. What the College has been advertising as kosher food at the Class of 1953 Commons is not actually proper kosher according to the strict demands
of Orthodox and Conservative Judaism, Orthodox Jewish student leaders of the campaign said. The preparation of kosher food is required to be supervised by a Jew who keeps the Sabbath. The current supervisor, or Mashgiach, at Dartmouth is from Tablet-K, which is not a certified kosher organization. The Dartmouth Dining Services website states that the Pavilion, located in ’53 Commons, is a dairy-free kosher kitchen providing meat and

As Kyle Hendricks ’12 prepares for his likely National League Championship Series debut next week, both current and former Big Green baseball players reflected that the poise and unwavering confidence of the Chicago Cubs’ starting pitcher has contributed to his success in Major League Baseball. Regardless of whether Hendricks is striking players
out or giving up runs, his calm demeanor remains unchanged. In fact, Hendricks has earned the nickname “The Professor,” perhaps for his studied, cerebral approach to pitching. Hendricks made his entrance in the major leagues in 2014 and tied for seventh place in the National League Rookie-of-the-Year voting with a sparkling 2.46 ERA. His first postseason appearance came last Saturday, when he pitched just under
five innings as the starting pitcher in the Cubs’ 6-3 game 2 victory in the National League Division Series last Saturday. During Hendricks’ time at the College, he helped the Big Green win two Ivy League championships in 2009 and 2010. He also earned FirstTeam All-Ivy recognition and was named Dartmouth’s pitcher of the year in 2011. Dartmouth baseball head SEE BASEBALL PAGE 5
