Take three minutes and absorb some culture. Farewell, National Poetry Month!
If one question has plagued our generation as of late, no doubt it is turn down for what? And with the recent derecognition of SAE and the suspension of Tabard and KDE, it seems Parkhurst has delivered a decisive response — turn down for administrative authority.
BrownUniversity: The Corporation, Brown University’s highest governing body, recently approved a 4.1 percent hike in tuition, The Brown Daily Herald reported. This brings total undergraduate charges to approximately $64,566. The rise is consistent with the past two years’ tuition hikes of 4.4 and 3.8 percent, respectively. This change coincides with a 7.1 percent increase in the undergraduate financial aid budget.
It’s been an eventful year in the world thus far. I won’t bore you with the details, since I hope you all read the news, but trust me — 2016 has been lit.
Well, we’re two weeks into the New Year and I guess the presidential election still hasn’t happened. Is it just me, or should that thing have already happened like twice by now? I swear Hillary’s been chilling in Cedar Rapids for a decade. I’ve been feeling a bern for so long I have half a mind to schedule an appointment with my health care provider. Trump is somehow still #relevant (luckily I don’t have to write a joke for that because it’s already tragically hilarious).
Before I break the news to you all, I’d like to start with a small disclaimer. I’m a reporter, perhaps the furthest thing from a doctor, and I haven’t taken one class that anyone could possibly spin as pre-med. I have, however, taken AP Bio, ridden in an ambulance and seen a solid 80 percent of “Grey’s Anatomy.” So let’s just say I feel pretty confident in my ability to both diagnose and invent a wide variety of illnesses and conditions. Take “Tinderitis,” for example.
There are few things in this mortal life that I have ever been undoubtedly certain about, but if there’s one thing I know to be true without a shadow of a doubt it’s that 2014 is a wild time to be alive. When I asked the woman who lives in the alley behind CVS for astrological advice, as I often do, she told me it was because Mars ended retrograde and the moons of Jupiter exist. Not only are there women in several of my university classes, but many of them are also unmarried and interested in pursuing careers of their own after graduation. That I can handle. But now I hear talk that men are starting to cook their own dinners and no longer fight to the death before a roaring crowd to prove their masculinity. While the definitions of gender roles may be in a state of flux, we’re lucky that several companies have made it their mission to remind us that some things like chapstick and snack food are anything but a spectrum.
In 2002, it was reported that Samuel Sherman, president of Independent-International Pictures Corps, purchased what many consider to be the oldest known photo of a UFO. The identity of the photographers were later revealed to be Amos Clough and Howard Kimball, and it was taken during an expedition in the White Mountains in New Hampshire during the winter of 1871. Many UFO enthusiasts, however, question its authenticity. In a book written about the expedition, there is no mention of the UFO being noticed by either of the explorers, and the distance of the photograph makes it difficult to discern much about the object pictured in the mountains. Regardless of its authenticity as a photographed UFO, the incident still maintains an important place in the history of UFO sightings in the United States.
So it’s the second week of add/drop period, and you’re still looking for that third class? Here are a few suggestions that just might be the perfect fit.
Hanover is the fourth safest town in New Hampshire, according to the Movoto Real Estate Blog, which recently ranked the crime rates of towns with populations of 5,000 residents or more. The ranking was created using data from the 2012 Uniform Crime Report from the FBI, and was calculated by the number of crimes committed per 100,000 residents.
One night this spring, while sitting in my bedroom in Buenos Aires, I made an integral academic decision that generations of Dartmouth students before me have made. “’Lest the old traditions fail,” I muttered to myself as I selected Astro 2 for a summer course. Although they may not appear on bucket lists as often as the Ledyard challenge or the “Dartmouth Seven,” certain classes have become time-honored traditions for sophomore summer. It’s nearly guaranteed that you are in at least one of the classes on this list, or everyone else you know is.
As a self-proclaimed Novack watchdog, I spend a whole lot of time in that part of the libs. The cold, gray linoleum is my runway, and I take comfort in the stained red benches attached to the bare walls. I even slept on the floor of one of the study rooms during finals last winter. Now that I live on Webster Ave., an embarrassingly large amount of my meals consist of soggy veggie wraps and large Diet Cokes. Whether you like it or not, Novack is my home.
On Tuesday evening, the Dartmouth NAACP chapter hosted a Black Art Showcase of the various visual, vocal and literary talents of the black community at Dartmouth. At first, I thought the event was going to be like any other art showcase I’ve ever been to – a room full of people walking in silence as they looked at the pieces, each artist dutifully but awkwardly stationed next to his or her work. There’s always that one jerk commenting on every third piece with “How is this art? I could do that.”
Professors are cancelling classes, there’s a giant conglomerate of ice and wood in the center of the Green and my friends are talking eagerly of finishing tomorrow’s midterm so they can start binge drinking immediately afterward. Ah yes, Winter Carnival has finally arrived.
Jan. 31, 8:20 p.m., Lyme Road: Safety and Security, the College Troubleshooters and Hanover Fire Department responded to a fire alarm. There was no fire and the fire captain said the cause of the alarm was unknown. Batteries were replaced in the smoke detectors.
Watching an awards show in its entirety is arguably the most grueling and drawn-out process I have ever gone through, and I am including the time I filled out the FAFSA. There’s a masochistic joy that comes from it, though, and this year’s Grammy Awards were no different. Because of my deep love for Internet blogging and my commitment to my readers, I’ll recap the most important moments of the show so that you can enjoy the spoils of my Sunday night.
