To the chagrin and dismay of many upperclassmen, the six-week ban on freshmen entering fraternity basements will finally be lifted today. As we cherish these last few nights of tranquility before basements are infiltrated by eager schmobs, rolling our eyes as we hear them discuss “Pi U” and “ZAE” (but repressing our secret jealousy that they still see frats as a novelty), freshmen are anticipating their first official entrance into Dartmouth’s Greek scene.
Whether you’re wildly excited, terrified or even indifferent, it will indisputably be a unique and (hopefully) memorable experience. Here’s a sample of what your night might entail:

Homecoming is undoubtedly one of the best weekends Dartmouth has to offer. With its parades, parties, pong and ponderous pile of wood, it’s enjoyable for everyone from the Class of 2019 to the returning Class of 1942 (although visitors may think we're in a cult). In case you’ve been living beneath the Connecticut River for the past week — or perhaps you can’t seem to remember last weekend — we dug up some clues to prove that this past weekend was indeed Homecoming.
1. Snapchat stories
I felt very accomplished after I finished scrolling through the multitude of Friday night Homecoming Snapchat stories. They were all the same more or less, consisting of darkness, a lot of blurred movements, incomprehensible shouting and of course the bonfire (I may have been guilty of Snapchatting this theme as well). Caption ideas were also similar, such as, “15FLAMES,” “worst class ever” or “TOUCH THE FIRE.” The number of Homecoming stories from last weekend may even rival the amount of fall foliage Instagram posts I’ve seen this past week.

Columbia University: Jonah Reider, a Columbia University senior, has started a pop-up gourmet restaurant named Pith in his dorm room, the Columbia Spectator reported. Reider prepares five-to-eight course meals for two to four diners four nights a week, and prepares the food in the common kitchen of his suite in Hogan Hall. He takes reservations on Yelp and is already fully booked until Christmas.

Two stalwarts of Hanover dining — Lou's and Thayer Hall, FoCo's predecessor — appear to have at one time moved into unfamiliar territory, according to these advertisements from the mid-1980s. Lou's — now only a breakfast joint — is attempting to spread the word about it's Mexican cuisine, while Thayer is inviting students to try a sirloin steak, complete with a baked potato, for only $3.99. That's a great deal — I wonder how many steaks would fit on a meal swipe?

Despite KAF’s lines (which are out of control this term) students love having their own personal café in the hub of campus. Ever wanted to know what your typical order says about you? Here are some heinously exaggerated, stereotypical personas that I made up to help you better understand yourself. You’re welcome.
Cappuccino
You are so college, check you out. You’re on your way to office hours and need to make sure that you look as studious as possible. You are a classics major and won’t let anyone forget it. Straightforward and no-nonsense — you can order a cappuccino wherever you go. You’re a creature of habit and don’t like surprises.

Oct. 9, 6:27 p.m., South Street: Safety and Security officers and College Troubleshooters responded to seven apartments for a report of multiple local smoke detectors that had been activated by smoke from burned food. The smoke was evacuated from the residence and the detectors were reset. There was no actual fire.
Oct. 9, 9:09 p.m., The Green: During the Homecoming bonfire, the Hanover Police Department arrested a student for “disorderly conduct” after the individual had entered the inner circle and touched the bonfire.

This is my second installment of Beyond the Bubble so naturally I'm feeling pressured to change things up for my readership (which currently consists of my editors, my sister and my estranged cousin whose Facebook profile pic is a slug with a thought bubble that reads "I didn't choose the slug life, the slug life chose me").

Walking into FoCo on a Monday, you likely hold your breath in suspense, waiting to see what Worldview is featured that week. Some of the specials are definite hits, while others are disappointing misses. Where do you fit in? Take this quiz to find out which Worldview week best describes you.

Let’s be honest — the best part of FoCo is the cookies. Whether you eat them plain, with a glass of milk or as part of an ice-cream sandwich, they are somehow always so so good. How does this happen? How does the process work? Is it because of the bakers making them or something in the dough?

Before we reveal the first installment of our column, we would like to provide our readers — if you’re out there — with a brief flash of insight into our creative process.
Scene: Tuesday night in our shockingly color-coordinated living room, Elizabeth upside down on the futon, Katie upright at the table. A 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle is spread out over said table, its pieces rendering the surface completely unusable for any sort of work (hello, combined job applications and midterm season).

I didn’t know much about the place — I learned of its existence approximately 10 minutes before arriving. The ambience was overwhelmingly pleasant — it’s a classic bakery with prominent glass display cases and wooden floors and furniture.

As the most well-known big weekend, Homecoming has time and again ensured that the old traditions shall not fail, and 2015 was no exception.
