This Idea is all Wet
APRIL 1997

You have a Dartmouth trash can, a Dartmouth watch, and a Dartmouth sweatshirt. What's next? How about some Dartmouth water? Dartmouth Dining Services Director Pete Napolitano, who came up with the idea, says that the bottled water has been well-received by the students since it hit the shelves of the dining facilities. The bottle style, featuring the übiquitous squirt top, can withstand being knocked around in a backpack. But the label is what really makes this bottled water not your average H2O. Baker Library and Webster Hall surrounded by trees in their fall bloom grace the label. A"D" serves as the front door to Baker. And the color of the label? "It had to be green," Napolitano said. The water, which costs $1.50 for a 20- ounce bottle, doesn't actually come from Hanover. The springs are located in Alton New Hampshire. That doesn't seem to bother students or College officers. They've been buying 8,000 bottles a month.
