Four years and 48 columns later, my time at Dartmouth and my tenure as an Opinion columnist have come to an end. Penning this column more-or-less every other week from freshman fall way back in 2004 to senior spring today has been one of the toughest -- and most fulfilling -- dimensions of my life at the College.

Much ink has been spilled on these pages about the never-ending campus ruckus over the virtues of national versus local Greek houses. Nowadays, the conventional wisdom damns the dangerously archaic anti-alcohol regulations of national sororities for forcing the Daughters of Dartmouth to satisfy their booze fixes in the basements of boys.

Forget Dubai. Hanover is so hot right now. Recently, two leading national rags showcased Hanover in their broadsheets, painting the home of the College as a rustic oasis in the wilds of New Hampshire. "The region is a center for outdoor activities, and Hanover itself is a cultural hive," posited the New York Times in its glowing February feature. The Boston Globe gushed in its extensive mid-March expos, "It is no surprise that CNN and Money magazine put [Hanover] near the top in their ranking of the best places to live in the United States."

Zip across Ledyard Bridge, cruise down I-91 South for about an hour, and you will soon enter the quaint village of Brattleboro. This town in the Vermont boonies has taken an unlikely -- and unwise -- foray into the world of geopolitics that extends well beyond the fringes of the Green Mountains.

Have you been turned down by Teach for America? Did DREAM stop responding to your blitzes? Did the Peace Corps laugh at you?

Winter Carnival -- chock-full of College lore -- has always stood at the crossroads of Dartmouth's past, present and future. To tackle the challenges facing the Big Green today, undergrads should look to the annals of the February festival for its timeless wisdom.

"To the members of the Class of 2008, you made it! On this great occasion that concludes your college career, take it from me, [to be determined], that your journey through life has only yet begun."

Without a doubt, the day off from classes on Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day was a welcomed, once-in-a-blue-moon breather from the weekly grind. Over their four-year stint at the Big Green, seniors can count on one hand the number of times that national holidays have left classrooms empty for the day. Why does the College observe so few federal holidays?

"Out of Iraq, into Darfur!" has emerged as the rallying cry for war critics lobbying Washington to bolt from its unpopular quagmire in the heart of the Middle East and set its sights on a much less contentious objective instead: halting the genocide in war-tattered Sudan.

E-mail is the new "snail mail." And using cell phones to make actual phone calls is so 2005.

"All dreams are welcome here," pledges Career Services to anxious Dartmouth students aspiring to find their ideal entry-level position for life post Hanover. Amid the resume drops, career fairs and rounds of interviews that have created the corporate recruiting buzz on campus, hordes of government, biology and history majors feel left out and that Career Services' mantra should instead read: "Some dreams are more welcome here than others." Is this fair?

Big Brother is watching you. And these days, he has plenty of company: the boy from your freshman seminar, your potential future employer, the strange kid living down the hall in your dorm and the rest of the College community.

Did you know that mental blackouts result from trauma to the hippocampus in the brain?

Funnily enough, it seems the only voice lacking from the past few heated Board of Trustees elections and this summer's governance reform brouhaha has been that of those actually governed: current College students.

Hanover became the center of the political universe Wednesday night as the 2008 Democratic presidential candidates sparred in an eight-way bout that left no single candidate particularly bruised and bloodied and the captive audience mildly amused and, unfortunately, underwhelmed.

Why would anyone work for free? After the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1865, unpaid labor in this country pretty much went out of vogue. However, in the past decade, it has come roaring back. This summer, thousands of America's best and brightest have fanned out across the D.C. Beltway, Manhattan and beyond to become the plankton of the office food chain -- unpaid interns.

It seems that Vermont likes nothing more than reinforcing other Americans' stereotypes of the Green Mountain State. An unlikely crusade, which advocates for the secession of Vermont from the United States, actually has been gaining converts -- most likely dreadlocked, pot-smoking Dead Heads sporting Birkenstocks.
