<e is no truth to the rumor that the [Northfield] Police are becoming more ‘hands-on’ at Carleton,” wrote Wayne Eisenhuth in an email early last week. Rumors had spread across campus that, because of the drug incident at the beginning of the term, the town of Northfield has grown warier of Carleton nightlife shenanigans. Policemen had to knock on both Page and Hunt House doors on September 27th.
“Each of the incidents involving the Northfield Police… (Page House and Hunt House) were a result of a citizen complaint (not known if complainant was a Northfield resident or a Carleton student) called in to the NPD (which required their response) regarding the noise level at the two parties. “ Eisenhuth writes.
“For us, there is now less noise from students than 30 years ago,” wrote German Professor and Northfield resident Roger Paas. “Usually, the noise is not disruptive, unless students start screaming outside.”
