Having fallen asleep on my keyboard during a recent all-nighter, I found myself in a dream one that placed my best friends and me at our 20th class reunion. It got me thinking: What might a future Dartmouth look like if students decided to come together now to build the school we want to return to in 20 years? If you'll bear with me, I'll try to sketch the outlines of one student's dream of how this place could look two decades hence.

In late November, my government professor asked our Violence and Security class to identify the bloodiest armed conflict since the end of World War II. Not one of the 40 students answered correctly by pointing to the chaos in the Congo, a conflict that many have called the World War of Africa. Indeed, this war does not receive much media coverage in the United States. Our attentions are necessarily focused on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but how is it possible that 40 Dartmouth students were unaware of a conflict that has killed over five million people during the past decade and continues to take at least 1,200 lives every day as a result of violence and preventable disease? It's high time for the rest of the world to start paying attention, because new reports suggest that peacekeeping efforts so far have actually increased the bloodshed.

On the 11th day of the 11th month each year, the United States dedicates a day to honoring the men and women who put themselves in harm's way to uphold the values and securities we hold dear. This year, in an act of despicable politicking, one recalcitrant senator instead decided to honor our veterans by placing them in harm's way here at home.

The young passenger tries to cover his mouth as he coughs, but the airborne pathogens that are causing him to hack and sputter are released to infect the other people on his transcontinental flight. By the time the plane lands, dozens of his fellow passengers will be carriers of the deadly microbes able to transmit the disease to others long before they become aware that they are infected. Many of them drive home to dense urban neighborhoods or board connecting flights to a number of other cities. An epidemic has just gone global.

In an admirable coordinated effort last week, most of Fraternity Row banded together to welcome College President Jim Yong Kim to his lovely new home in Hanover with the gift of silence. Rumor has it that the Interfraternity Council decided to close most houses' doors for the start of Fall term in order to prove what good neighbors Dartmouth's Greeks can be, and to ensure that the much-lauded members of the Class of 2013 achieve the highest first-quarter grades of any freshman class in Big Green history.

At the risk of a system overload, I would like to heap another urgent call for action onto the Obama administration's very full plate. As the nation goes to war over domestic health-care reform this summer, it is time to critically examine one more parting present from former President George W. Bush that has yet to be unwrapped. The "midnight pardon" for global pharmaceutical companies that Bush granted has reopened the door to exploitation-driven profit.

The debate over healthcare reform has reached fever pitch. Loaded words splash across the front pages of newspapers each morning, but 47 million Americans have no health insurance and 17,000 lose their coverage daily. What's being done in Washington? The leading bill under scrutiny, "America's Affordable Health Choices Act," marks the seventh time in U. S. history that the topic of national health insurance has been seriously debated in a public forum. As lawmakers take a four-week recess, August will make or break the effort to overhaul our healthcare system. Let's take a dive into the history books and try to understand the reasons why this moment is so urgent.

The year was 2002, two years into former President George W. Bush's first term in the White House. The massive crowd outside Boston's City Hall in the pouring rain was rallying for increased funding to combat both the local and global AIDS epidemics. One of the speakers was a passionate young doctor who electrified the soaking students when he declared that it was time for students to tell their leaders, "We are going to make your life miserable until everyone gets food and housing and medicine."

"It's no secret that the Heps meet is always the most important weekend of the entire year," women's head coach Sandra Ford-Centonze said. "We start talking about Heps during pre-season training in the summer and September. Once the indoor Heps meet is over we talk about the outdoor meet. Doing well there is without a doubt the crowning glory of any team's season."
