I don’t remember most of my junior winter. When I force myself to summon up the term, to find some memory that validates it, I am usually hit with desperation instead. I flip through old Facebook photos, my classes on Blackboard, emails and Spotify playlists sorted by term — grasping at straws to cut through the amnesia. I find snippets: long nights in Robinson Hall as I acclimated to my editorial position at The D, my friends making fun of me as I passed them balancing a tower of books for a final paper, humming along as a crush played me Joni Mitchell songs on his guitar. It’s a pathetic harvest for 10 weeks of active memory storage. Wasn’t I experiencing some mix of academic enlightenment, college debauchery and adventure? Did I really never go skiing once?

A team of Dartmouth researchers led by Cory Cornelius '07, who is currently pursuing a PhD in computer science at the College, published a paper this month detailing how a sensor bracelet can use biometrics to passively identify individuals for health care purposes. The paper, titled "Who Wears Me? Bioimpedance as a Passive Biometric," was overseen by computer science professor David Kotz and is a part of the Institute for Security, Technology and Society's research initiative on information systems and health care. Cornelius, Kotz and other researchers involved in the project emphasized that the research is still in its early stages and they have several issues to address before the sensors become a technology that could gain widespread traction. The sensor bracelet is designed to authenticate the wearer and detect a range of medical needs, both for convenience and for potentially aiding in life-threatening situations, according to Jacob Sorber, a post-doctoratal student who advises Cornelius' research.

Gourevitch's "ethical intensity," courage and eloquence made him stand out to the Montgomery Steering Committee, Stamelman said. Gourevitch's reporting on the aftermath of the conflict in Rwanda differentiates him from other war correspondents who have visited Dartmouth as fellows. His pieces are longer and more thoroughly researched, according to Stamelman.

Dartmouth students love to complain about the weather. Even though we should be used to it by now, it's the same every year. We think the fall is too cold, we realize it gets even colder in the winter and even spring is too rainy and cold. Summer therefore poses a pretty big problem, because most of us are not prepared for weather we like. After recovering from the shock of sunlight, warmth and a non-combative relationship with nature, sophomores have taken the cue to leave the library for greener pastures.

Former College President Jim Yong Kim, who assumed his post as World Bank President on July 1, said that the Bank is on "sound financial footing" and is prepared to meet international demand for loans, Bloomberg News reported. In a departure from his predecessor, Robert Zoellick, Kim said that the Bank is willing to support developed economies like Greece with technical expertise. In a memo to Bank employees, Kim said that he seeks to prioritize "consistent and open engagement between the staff and the president," Bloomberg reported. Some experts have voiced concern that Kim will not be able to adjust quickly enough to his new job, suggesting that his lack of experience in international economics will result in a "steep learning curve," according to Bloomberg. Unlike most previous World Bank presidents, who have extensive backgrounds in finance and government, Kim is trained as a physician.

When we found out three weeks ago that we were going to edit the Green Key issue, we were so excited because everyone knows Green Key is the best big weekend of the year. Sure, Homecoming has a tradition of scorching freshmen with a ritual bonfire, and Winter Carnival boasts 101 years of towering (or melting) snow sculptures. But Green Key has sunshine, and with sunshine comes outdoor concerts, sundresses and debatably-welcome frat pinnies. Basically, it's everything we've been dreaming about in hibernation since 11X.

The alumni, who had differing relationships with Greek organizations during their times at Dartmouth, agreed that hazing is a serious problem at the College but focused on different aspects of the piece, written by Rolling Stone contributing editor Janet Reitman, including its poor representation of the student body and its portrayal of women.
