It is only later in their Dartmouth careers that they begin to produce true greatness, to excel in their chosen fields. For the below nominees for The Dartmouth Sports Awards for best freshman athlete, the above description could not be more false. Whether in tennis, baseball, basketball or swimming, these talented ’18s showed the Dartmouth community just how great the Class of 2018 could be.

By the 80s and 90s, The Dartmouth was going to greater lengths to secure readership — see this ad from the 90s, and this one from the 80s. But as we can see in this minimalist spot from 1953, the D's creativity had yet to blossom.

Columbia University: The parents of recently-graduated Columbia University senior Paul Nungesser said in a statement that the University had made their son’s life nightmarish while giving a special exemption to Emma Sulkowicz, also a graduating senior, by allowing her to carry a mattress at graduation. Nungesser is suing the University, alleging that Columbia allowed Sulkowicz to break confidentiality agreements and supported gender-based harassment against him through Sulkowicz’s senior thesis.
Cornell University: The University announced the creation of the Skorton Center for Campus and Health Initiatives on Tuesday, The Cornell Daily Sun reported. The center is to be named for David J. Skorton, Cornell’s incumbent president who is set to leave the school for the Smithsonian Institution at the beginning of July. It will support research and evaluation practices in the field of student health and will support physical, mental and sociological health at Cornell.

This past weekend, for example, my friend Neha and I went to Off the Grid, a food-truck gathering that happens several times a week in various locations across San Francisco. It was a chilly Friday night with fog rolling overhead, but we nonetheless enjoyed ourselves and ate really good food.

I know, I know, Foster The People put out a new album last year, and it’s called “Supermodel” not “Torches.” But this week, it feels like the start of summer and “Torches” (2011) is a quintessential summer album for me — perfect for drives with the windows down or blasting it through whatever speakers you can get to play outside on the porch (which is inevitably just someone’s phone placed strategically in a cup).
Foster the People is an indie-pop band from Los Angeles (“Of course!” you’re saying — of course an indie-pop band is from LA!!!). The name of the band evidently comes from the fact that their vocalist’s name is Mark Foster (that’s research right there).

That, my friends, is how we have arrived at week eight of spring term, when it feels like just yesterday I was watching 1000 scared ’18s run around the bonfire. It has been a year of secrets for me, one that began with one of my more stupid story pitches: “what if I photographed people admitting things outside the admissions building.”

On May 20, the College confirmed that it moved the start date of the upcoming fall term to Sept. 16 from Sept. 14 to avoid overlap with the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah. To compensate, two special days of Saturday classes have been added to the fall term calendar. We cannot find fault with the College’s apparent motive of taking the religious obligations of students and faculty into consideration. Especially in light of Dartmouth’s history of institutional anti-Semitism, that the College will ensure that its Jewish students can celebrate an important holiday in their calendar and still attend the first day of class indicates that it has embraced a commitment to inclusivity and diversity rather than mere tolerance.

In many ways, female athletes and women’s sports defined Dartmouth sports news during the 2014-2015 year. The women’s cross country team defended its Ivy League title, the softball team won its second consecutive Ivy League title under first-year head coach Shannon Doepking and athletic director Harry Sheehy announced the women’s rugby team’s impending elevation to varsity status for the 2015-2016 season. As those programs enjoyed exciting news, the nominees below enjoyed phenomenal success on an individual level.

In this review from a 1953 edition of The Dartmouth, our correspondent "GAD" makes quick work of the crime drama, "Count the Hours." Despite the treatment it receives here, the movie does actually have a plot, although its only Rotten Tomatoes review reads, "an unconvincing crime thriller." The other film discussed in the issue — "Dangerous Crossing" — seems to be even move unconvincing, receiving a 1.8 — .1 less than "Count the Hours" — and perhaps a more scathing review.
