Good Sense for Samaritans

After delaying the Hanover polices proposed sting operations in February, the College has recently seen another positive change in local alcohol policy. Prior to April, intoxicated students in need of medical attention were automatically arrested, per state law. Police will still assist emergency personnel in responding to alcohol-related ambulance calls, but now they will also inform students of the educational alcohol diversions program in which offenders must enroll within seven days—and pay $400—to avoid a citation. If a friend needs medical assistance, students are still encouraged to use the Good Samaritan policy to call for help. Student body president Eric Tanner '11 likes the change. "It will make students feel more comfortable calling in a Good Sam since they know that there won't be the arrests that go against everything the Good Sam rule stands for," he says. So far, so good: During Green Key Weekend Good Sam calls were up, and police arrested no students.
