If you’ve been paying attention to the news, then you’ve undoubtedly read, seen and/or heard about Robin Thicke’s recent ordeals and legal drama. I’m only kidding — you have to look really hard on a slow news day for this riveting drama.

As graduation looms closer, I need as much guidance as possible. Forget academic advisors and CDP — I’ve recently discovered that the sage wisdom provided through astrology is the way to go. Here’s what the New York Post’s “Postrology” section had to say to me and all the other Cancers out there: “The choices you make over the next few days will have a major impact on your social or professional reputation, so make them wisely. Above all don’t let other people rush you into cutting corners or cutting back on essentials. Do it right.”

Why am I writing this column? I have no clue. It’s my senior year, and I feel like I’m still a freshman. Correction: my knowledge of many Dartmouth traditions — i.e. the lyrics to our alma mater — is minimal despite my best efforts to inundate myself in our “campus culture” (i.e. Bean boots). Until I saw the giant sign, I thought the Triangle House was KD’s new physical plant.

This summer, the Big Green Bus will not travel on what would have been its 10th cross-country trek. Due to various logistical issues — including lack of physical transportation and an insufficient recruitment draw — Cedar Farwell ’17, who would have been a member of the 2014 crew, said the organization will not conduct programming this summer.

I’d take a class in the humanities over one in the hard sciences any day. While the majority of the classes I’ve taken at Dartmouth fall under the “social sciences,” I have some regrets. For one, humanities departments often have lower numbers of students in classes. This seems ideal compared to my culminating class for one of my majors, which is capped at 30 students. But while the social sciences may have their drawbacks, many students in past years seem to be increasingly drawn to these academic disciplines.

Dartmouth students do plenty of “experiential learning” — maybe not the kind that College President Phil Hanlon has campaigned for. But simply being a college student necessitates experiential learning. As I enter the beginning of the end of junior year (aka the end of third week of term), I feel compelled to share what I’ve learned about Dartmouth so far. While I like to consider myself an active, in-the-know member of the Dartmouth community, I mistook a group of overeager high school Model United Nations students for Dimensions prospies a few weekends ago. I was also unaware that Dimensions is going to be taking place over three separate weekends this year until I told this story to my friend the other day. With that information in mind, I have some advice for you underclassmen (as well as any ’18s reading this, if this weekend happens to be one of the Dimensions weekends). Take it at your own risk.

Upon receiving the March 21 email from Board of Trustees chair Steve Mandel ’78 announcing Dartmouth’s upcoming transition to a “house system,” I first thought, “What does that mean?” After living on a close-knit freshman floor (shout-out to my Bissell 2 friends), I was shocked at the lack of “community” on my floor in Smith Hall sophomore year. I saw the dismally low attendance at our floor meeting last fall and realized it would be necessary for me to embrace my naturally distant demeanor, even in the comfort of my own home.

Within our increasingly medicalized society, information processing disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can easily be conflated with Adderall and similar “miracle drugs,” peddled nonchalantly across campus by students who don’t always understand the deep issues behind the disabilities. Due to a culture where legitimate treatment for learning disabilities can be marred by stereotypes of partying or cheating the system to get ahead, students utilizing a variety of accessibility services on Dartmouth’s campus are often misunderstood.

As the fall winds down, we find ourselves growing more and more nostalgic of our time here. They say you get wiser with age, but as the sun sets on our Dartmouth careers, we feel we are becoming less knowledgeable and less relevant. We did some research and uncovered dirt on aspects of Dartmouth that ’17s will never know, as well as things only they (so far) have experienced.

It's a Dartmouth tradition that dates back over a century. While most freshmen enjoy running around the bonfire, this tradition has come under fire (no pun intended) in recent years.

New York and Boston have long been internship meccas for students during the summer and off-terms. The appeal of working and living in New York is understandable, and the number of people going there certainly doesn't seem to be decreasing. But the abundance of Dartmouth opportunities through the Rockefeller Center and on Capitol Hill have recently made Washington, D.C., an attractive option for off-terms, especially for those interested in public policy. So is D.C. becoming the new Boston?

Dartmouth researchers have discovered new information about how and where imagination occurs in the human brain. Alexander Schlegel, a graduate student in psychological and brain sciences, recently led a study that focused how the brain manipulates mental images.

The committee seeks a provost who will strengthen the undergraduate student experience, invest in faculty recruitment, retention and development, create an inclusive climate of diverse students, faculty members and administrators, promote collaboration between undergraduate and graduate schools and expand research and graduate education.

Whether we are proud of it or not, the concepts behind the Dartmouth X guide our behavior. I've listened to countless girls complain about their alleged fall toward sexual and social irrelevance, and seen freshmen boys eagerly anticipate the arrival of their machismo come junior year. But I have my doubts. I think the hierarchy is less of an X and more of a system where older students disproportionately hold power. Upperclassmen have acquired social capital they're older, arguably wiser and many are affiliated, so maybe our social system is just one where older equates to better.

The office, created in April, serves as an umbrella organization for existing entrepreneurial and technology transfer programs, including the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network, the regional technology center and the technology transfer office. Davis is working with associate provost Tillman Gerngross to develop the office's role on campus.

Many of the actors are members of theater professor Jamie Horton's Theater 65 Drama in Performance class, and were matched with writers and directors based on their previous theater experience and availability to attend rehearsals, Horton said. In the past, students have received job offers based on their participation in the summer workshop.

Before the DBI program was introduced, members of Greek houses participated in two programs facilitated by MAV. In addition to a facilitation during pledge term, GLC required affiliated students to participate in a sexual assault prevention program during sophomore summer. The new policy will allow members of Greek organizations to choose between the MAV and DBI programs.
