So you come to Dartmouth and what do you know about this place? Do you think of the beautiful mountains, the idyllic hamlet known as Hanover where the college exists or do you think of the movie Animal House or a pervasive drinking culture that has all of the students at the pong table every weekend? Recently, I was standing in line in Collis listening to two guys comparing Dartmouth to other Ivy league schools. One with all the wisdom that Dartmouth could give, told the other, "Cornell is a school where students are expected to work hard while Dartmouth is a place where we work hard and drink hard." This mantra has been our excuse for an issue that be it from media representation or our own threatens the very health and image of Dartmouth today and the Dartmouth of tomorrow.

Tonight the Hopkins Center is going to blast Hanover out of the winter blues with the hot music from Steve Turre's trombone and his shells. Turre is not a typical trombonist. Listening to his 1997 self-titled album, Turre's trombones and shells take you on a magical musical tour from Brazilian samba beats to the sultry swing of a big band.

This Friday night, the Big Green is going to get a little greener -- kelly green, to be exact -- with the arrival of Mary Black and the band Solas who are on a tour from their Native Ireland.

Slipping R.E.M.'s latest CD into my stereo, I wasn't sure what would spring out. As a band, R.E.M. has constantly reinvented itself with each new album. Every release is ruled by a trademark theme and style that has kept the band's fans and mainstream listeners hooked for over 20 years.

Halloween is always the time when the ghouls and ghosts become Hollywood fodder. This year there has been an unusually large stable of horror flicks that have hit the movie theaters. Chuckie, the doll that wreaked havoc in the 80s, is back, and even Michael Myers of "Halloween" fame has made another appearance on the silver screen to attempt to frighten America one more time.

In a mainstream music scene that is pumping out the likes of Match Box 20 and the Goo Goo Dolls, the Arizona band Bare Wire is blazing a new trail with its latest album "Delicatessen". The first clue to the type of trail Bare Wire takes the listener on is shown with the bleak album cover that shows an obscured image of a female body.

On Thursday, October 15, many members of the Dartmouth community participated in a vigil in memory of victims of hate crimes throughout the country, particularly Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, both of whom were killed because someone decided that their lives as a gay and black man, respectively, were not valuable. While it is disheartening that such acts of hatred still occur in this country in 1998, the factors that lead up to such horrifying episodes occur daily in our lives and in this community. Whether a result of ignorance or fear, hatred and supremacy lead to casual random acts that kill parts of people's spirits every day. This was the case this past weekend as we celebrated Homecoming. Several members of the community showed their "school spirit" by wearing t-shirts depicting a bull dog performing oral sex on an Indian with the words "Yale Sucks." While that image may have been intended to encourage some spirits, its affect on others was tremendously painful. How would you feel if the Indian on that shirt was replaced by a caricature of your father or grandfather, in the name of "tradition?" The offense and disgust that that image brings you may be similar to the feelings of many Native American students and others who empathize with and understand their experiences when they saw the shirt. How does it feel to see that caricature in a place that you are encouraged to call home -- a community that people have ensured you is safe, welcoming and respecting of you and your culture?

Tonight the Hopkins Center is going to sizzle with the arrival of the innovative Bebe Miller Dance Company, a New York troupe that is pushing the boundaries of modern dance and the music of Don Byron, a world renowned jazz clarinetist.

If you're looking for soda pop rock, Ani Difranco's latest, "Little Plastic Castle," is not the place to go. If, however, you are looking for something that pulses and drives, then you might want to give her a try.

The search for identity is the powerful driving force in the collection of photographs Joshua Chuang '98 is exhibiting in Collis beginning today.
