Freshman year is cleverly distracting. You get away with masking your homesickness and insecurities underneath layers of parties, info sessions and the minted newness of it all. By freshman spring, you know where all the buildings lie, but you're still not sure who your core friends are, although you seem to have made a lot of frat-to-Facebook friends.
Stop pretending this is exceedingly creepy. We all do it. I've seen you in Collis.
The Borrow Direct consortium which includes Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University began searching for a new system in 2008, Pawlek said. The new interface was originally planned to launch on Aug. 10, but its release has been delayed to next week in order to allow for the testing of the system to be completed.
We are at a crossroads (visual aid: X). So far, I've managed to convince myself that because it's called "sophomore Summer" I'm still an underclassman, but as the term winds down I'll be forced to accept the bitter truth that as '12s, we've officially transitioned to the other side of the X.
The U.S. House of Representatives approved a $26 billion grant for school districts that will prevent teacher layoffs on Tuesday, The New York Times reported. The bill, which passed with 247 votes in favor and 161 opposed, will allow "tens of thousands" of public school teachers and emergency workers to retain their jobs, according to The Times. "We can't stand by and do nothing while pink slips are given to the men and women who educate our children or keep our communities safe," President Barack Obama told House legislators, according to The Times. Republicans widely criticized the bill, claiming that it was another example of Democrats' overspending. The bill's supporters countered that the cost of the bill will be covered by a revised corporate tax provision for companies that conduct business overseas and cuts in food-stamp expenditures, The Times reported. In its rush to pass the bill last week, the Senate forgot to title the measure, leading some Republican opponents to mockingly nickname it the "blank act of blank" and question whether the legislation contains other mistakes, The Times reported. The House also approved a bill that will provide over $16 billion in Medicaid assistance, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. By providing additional federal funding, the bill will indirectly enable states to avoid implementing cuts to their college education programs. Although several state politicians were in favor of the bill's passage, many felt their states did not receive as much funding as they had expected, The Chronicle reported.

"The vast majority of the recommendations are great," Brace said. "It's a great example of the College administration, students and town members working together for harm reduction."
Without a powerful emblem like the bonfire or snow sculpture, Green Key is often said to lack meaning, but this weekend is as rich in tradition as Homecoming or Winter Carnival. As we sat in Rauner browsing vintage photos of Green Key celebrations, we were struck by the familiarity in everything Dartmouth never changes. Gone are the days of minstrel shows, but today's Green Key is still the same celebration of friends, spring and the Dartmouth spirit that endures all change.
Happiness is probably the closest thing we have to a universal human goal. Much of what we can say about happiness is highly subjective, but is there anything about happiness that is empirically true? In other words, is there a science of happiness? To find out, I asked some professors to explain the psychology behind this most elusive and desirable of human emotions.
Question is, do you ever have to conquer your embarrassment in order to stop for a chat in the panini line after 10As or pretend to be frantically searching for something really, really important in your bag at the exact moment you cross paths outside Baker-Berry? (Embarrassingly enough, I'm guilty of the latter on an almost-daily basis. But that's besides the point.)
The College will lay off six additional employees while reducing the working hours of six others this month, and will potentially eliminate up to 30 additional positions later this year, acting Provost and Dean of the Faculty Carol Folt and Senior Vice President Steven Kadish announced in a campus-wide e-mail detailing budget reduction initiatives on Thursday. Although modifications to the College's health benefits will be a "big piece of the changes," according to Kadish, he declined to disclose the changes to the College's benefits plan in an interview with The Dartmouth, saying that the modifications will be announced next week.
