The end of summer vacation has probably never looked so good. By now, you've spent hours perusing College Confidential forums, picking out the perfect, most indestructible shower caddy at Bed Bath and Beyond and poring over your "required" summer reading. We know all your friends have already left for school, but don't worry we're worth the wait.

TUCK BRIDGE STUDENTS: They literally can't sit with us.
(06/28/13 2:00am)
This wasn't the first time I've had to stop and catch my breath this term. The midpoint in your Dartmouth career can hit you hard. You inevitably begin to reflect on how you've spent the time. If you're smart, you begin to devise all sorts of bucket lists that will help you make the most of what's left of it.

In 1976, the Dartmouth Greek system incorporated four new national sororities in a span of five years. Two initiated a bottom-up dissociation with their letters 10 years later, and a third was replaced by an entirely new group of women. Together, these three remaining organizations, informally known as Sigma Delt, EKT and KDE, represent Dartmouth's only local sororities.

She stepped out bravely from the double doors that guard the 1902 Room just as I shuffled out of Sanborn's back exit, my chin tucked as far into my scarf as humanly possible. In a sweeping and practiced motion, she extracted an open pack of cigarettes and a lighter from her back pocket, tapped the cardboard carton to her palm, and brought a small, white roll to her lips. She muttered an expletive as she turned her back to the wind and used her hand to cup the flame that curled atop the lighter. I walked past just slowly enough to notice she had trimmed her knitted gloves to not lose dexterity in her fingers while keeping them warm. She was no stranger to the winter cigarette break.

With pollen and a newly invigorated call for change in the air, annual spring elections for Student Assembly allow the student body to reflect on the outgoing administration and select a new slate of leaders.

The pro-life coalition formally constituted as Vita Clamantis is best known on campus for its controversial anti-abortion display last spring.

Rummaging through a bin of old art projects, I came across my illustrated kindergarten journal. The obligatory memoir of my elementary school years had enough drawings of my puppy to dedicate a wing of the Louvre in his honor. But as I was getting ready to leave for college, one entry stood out. The prompt was, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" To the degree that my artistic ineptitude allowed, I had drawn myself as a far more cheerful bus driver than I would ever encounter in all my years of public school transit.

"Where'd you go to school, kid," Brean asks the White House aide, played by Suzanne Cryer "Wellesley?"

It's hard to miss an athlete on campus. Armed with heavy duffle bags of gear and the latest Nike sneakers, it appears that Dartmouth varsity athletes have rightly squared themselves with popular media portrayals of the "college jock." Equally hard to miss are the throngs these athletes often form, whether they are eating in a dining hall or walking together to practice they represent a team in every sense of the word, and that includes their unique traditions.

There's perhaps nothing that stands in starker contrast to the Egyptian climate than that of Hanover. But in the midst of a bustling college campus, Sphinx Senior Society has fortified its own Egyptian-revivalist oasis. Nestled in a plot of land between Alpha Delta fraternity and the Fayerweather residence cluster, the building's high, plain walls with outward-flaring cornices provide a sealed sanctuary for one of Dartmouth's two original secret societies.

In high school, most Dartmouth students participated in pretty much every activity possible, from surf club to the debate team to underwater basket weaving anything that we thought would help us get into college. This all begs the question of whether or not we should continue on this do-it-all trajectory in college.

Yet today, the inauguration of the Black Family Visual Arts Center encapsulates a century of transformation and evolution of the arts at the College. With a record number of studio art majors in recent years, it's clear that the arts have, over time, become increasingly viewed as traditional fields of academia.

So you're back on Robo lawn after four long days of outdoor shenanigans. You hear a low, daunting grumble and wonder if a grizzly moose has indeed followed you back to campus. You fear for your life.

DISCIPLINARIAN

She hands you a glossy yearbook and extends you a bold red Sharpie from her multicolored pack. She smiles. You smile. You take both. You flip to the autograph pages and place the bold tip of the marker on two square inches of blank space. It's senior year you have to write something meaningful. This girl may be Sally Who-Gives-A-Shit to you in five years time, but you don't want her to remember you that way.

In fact, it was in preparation for the 1771 Commencement ceremony that the first major road to Dartmouth was paved. Wentworth issued an ordinance to clear a road that would allow for safe passage to the area, beginning at the governor's house in Wolfeboro, N.H. and continuing on through Plymouth, N.H. It was "from thence on the straightest and best course to Dartmouth College in Hanover," according to the 1771 ordinance. The road was of "great public utility" and was intended to "promote the design of that valuable institution."

I'd like to believe that if some calamity were to occur today that would wipe me off the face of the Earth, I would leave behind some sort of legacy. In some way or another, we all hope that upon our departure, we'll be missed. And while I stand beside the idea that anyone can impact the lives of those around him or her, the same notion does not hold true for everything. Below is a list of things that, if done away with, would do little to alter our student experiences at Dartmouth.1. Novack vending machine sandwiches. I first discovered the cached arsenal of quick-meal vending machines while making a pit stop in the Novack bathrooms. A man was restocking these machines, only the word "restocking" implies that supplies were dwindling to begin with. Rather, he was replacing an expired and crusty Philly cheesesteak sandwich with a new, freshly sealed and equally unappetizing one. If any student should mourn the loss of these vending machines, he or she should be introduced to the wide world of good nutrition and sanity.2. Crosswalks. If it is true that Dartmouth students have a skewed perception of reality, it is most true in the realm of traffic etiquette. Disney World, Amish settlements and the Dartmouth campus are the only places where pedestrians still have the right of way, and we're not giving it up anytime soon. Green lights will not thwart our mobility, and crosswalks will not carve our paths. The Town of Hanover could do away with these completely and never notice a change in pedestrian traffic.3. Club badminton. Why yes, we do have a club badminton team. Why no, I couldn't tell you when the next match is. The website has not been updated since the fall of 2009. While it's likely that its members practice happily and hushedly somewhere in the athletic complex, the remaining 99.6 percent of the student body would agree that the club's activities have little bearing on our daily lives. The day may come when the birdie-bearers rule the school, but until that day, club badminton could probably disappear without causing much of a stir. 4. The paintings in Collis. The multi-paneled mural installation on display in Collis attempts to typify a typical year at Dartmouth through a series of vibrantly colored scenes that look like Old Navy ads. However, I have yet to find myself reeling with joy as I slide down a mountain in the dead of night in an apparatus fashioned from a couch (?) and a pair of skis. Another painting suggests I should look graceful as I struggle to collect my papers that have been strewn about by the autumn wind. The panels are found guilty on the counts of irrelevancy and invisibility. 5. The Hood gift shop. In all the hours I have spent sitting at the Hop digesting my taco salad before the trek home, I have never seen a single person enter or exit the Hood gift shop. On that note, does anyone know how much the cashier job pays?

I never get cell phone service in Lou's. On more than one occasion, I have accidentally flagged down a waitress as I guiltily raised my iPhone high above my blueberry-peach pancakes, hoping to catch a single bar of service.
