The Dartmouth

Editor's Note

At a school that offers endless opportunities to stay physically active year-round, including running on the fitness center's treadmills with personal TV monitors, playing ice hockey on Occom Pond and kick-boxing for PE credit, you'll most likely find Jen and I hanging out in Collis, munching on our third breakfast sandwich of the day, or in FoCo, happily heading to the fro-yo toppings bar over and over again.

Okay, so I guess working out isn't our thing. While Jen loves her new sneakers, they spend more time hanging in her gym locker than hitting the pavement. And then there's me. I don't even own a pair of sneakers. Emily Hirshey would probably call us Twice-a-Term Tina's, based on the number of times we've worked out at the gym this term.

Nevertheless, staying fit and being active at Dartmouth is important to a large portion of campus and we wanted to learn more. Apparently there's even some sort of "Gym Culture" we're missing out on. It almost makes us want to visit the gym more often. Almost.
