Carroll said she feels the school's party stereotype is inaccurate and that many students feel these proposals are overkill for an about-average drinking problem on campus.

"I think a lot of students feel that it proposes a lot of restrictions on the Greek system, and the proposals about residential life seem really restrictive," she said.

Other proposals are aimed at reducing underage and binge drinking, which most officials say often occur at large open parties in CFS buildings. All beer taps and large refrigeration units must be removed from CFS buildings, and their basements must be renovated into lounges or study areas.

Parties of 15 or more people must be registered, and can only take place on the first floor of CFS buildings. All alcohol purchases, which until now were not allowed to be with CFS budget funds, now must be recorded along with the regular budget.

The committee also recommended that venues for licensed sale of alcohol be expanded or built, in order to decrease the amount of illegal underage drinking.

The Committee on the Student Life Initiative, appointed in the spring of 1999 by Dartmouth President James Wright, consists of trustee members, faculty and graduate and undergraduate representatives.

The college will now conduct a public discussion about the recommendations through the end of this academic year.
