— House News —

Our first elections to the West House Executive Board for Winter and Spring 2017 will take place over the weekend of Nov 12 and 13 and will be run online. Students will be elect a Chair, a Co-Chair along with the remainder of the Exec, who will then assume various House leadership roles (such as first-year reps, treasurer, programming chair, IM coordinator, etc.) once the Board convenes. We are the first House to be directly electing student leadership and look forward to building strong student governance.

If you’re interested in running for a leadership position in the House please feel free to contact Prof. Hickox at Ryan.C.Hickox@dartmouth.edu
We had a great Homecoming weekend! The West House ’20s got together in Fahey Hall before the Sweeps, and we had a lovely tailgate on Saturday — despite the weather, we had at least 200 people come by and served over 100 breakfast sandwiches! (Many thanks to House Admin Pamela Duffy and staff affiliate Jeremy Lambeth who are clearly the best cooking team in the Upper Valley.) Lastly we had an enjoyable hike up Gile Mountain on Sunday — thanks to our own Matt West and the DOC for organizing!

You may have noticed that we’re the only House without a snack bar. No problem — from time to time we’ll bring a Cafe to the Hyphen! The first will be TONIGHT (Thursday) from 8:30 to 11 — free coffee and pastries and an Open Mic! Contact m.dipompeo@dartmouth.edu if you’d like to perform

We have four FREE student tickets to see the opening night of the main stage production of Intimate Apparel (featuring Westia Nashe Mutenda ’20!) at the HOP on Friday night

We also have four FREE student tickets to the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra on Saturday night at 8pm.
