September
Sept. 19: If you missed Tuesday's premiere of The Sing-Off, an a cappella show hosted by Nick Lachey on NBC, no worries! You'll be able to catch new episodes this season on Mondays at 8 p.m. Why has the seemingly secondhand show drawn so much support here on campus? Dartmouth's own Aires are contestants on this year's season, so let's show our support and watch as they sing (and dance) their way into TV history!

Oct. 11: The GOP comes to Hanover for a presidential debate. Definitely don't miss this one, even if you're "not into politics." Between Rick Perry's nonanswers to simple questions, Newt Gingrich's helmet hair, Michelle Bachmann's horsey laugh, Ron Paul's rants about how we should basically get rid of the government and Jon Huntsman's perfect hair and awkward jokes, this debate will be political theater at its finest. (Can you tell I'm a Democrat? Full disclosure.) The debate will be held in Spaulding Auditorium, with overflow seating in Leede Arena, where candidates are expected to appear post-debate.
Oct. 14: Dartmouth women's volleyball takes on the Columbia Lions at 7 p.m. in Leede Arena.

Dec. 2: For all of you who love holidays, today is the Christmas tree lighting on the Green. As a New Yorker, I can safely say that the lighting is more exciting than Rockefeller Center's. Lots of carols and holiday cheer!
