The going rate for a person’s beautiful seat-saving behind is around $150 (give or take a hundred). The “rules” state a person can only save three seats, but at those rates you can’t afford to not save more seats. Here are a few tips on how to save more seats and make more money while being a seat saver.
I had so much fun last week at San Francisco’s weekly food truck festival, Off the Grid at Fort Mason, that when my friends suggested we go again this week, I couldn’t say no. Only this time, I wouldn’t be writing about other Off the Grid sweets, although there are so many more than the chocolate chip bacon cookie and the dark chocolate crème brûlée I sampled in last week’s column. I had my eyes set on a classic San Francisco treat, a sundae from Ghirardelli Square. It was only right to visit one of the most notorious tourist havens in the city for my final column of 15S. Call it a full circle kind of destination – beginning and ending with two essential treats, one of the west coast and the other of San Francisco. I planned this all along, I swear.
The health care delivery sciences and globalization academic clusters have each received $10 million gifts, bringing the total number of endowed clusters to four of the 10 the College hopes to endow by the end of 2015.
This was yet again one of those weeks in which I couldn’t find an album to review despite a large slew of quality new releases. All these albums, while good, haven’t moved me to anything beyond casual interest. Instead, I’ve put together a playlist of tracks both old and new that are infectious, if not always PG-13. I had no particular theme in mind when I cobbled these tracks together, but taken as a whole, I believe this playlist reflects the fact that its week 10 and I have officially given up on forming sentences with fewer than four curse words in them. I recommend listening to this playlist out of the earshot of small children. [embed]https://soundcloud.com/pddr/sets/june-1-2015[/embed]
The end of the school year is often accompanied by sadness and nostalgia as we prepare to leave our beloved campus, best friends and KAF coffee. For those of us not remaining in Hanover for sophomore summer — namely, ’18s, ’16s and ’19s (are you out there?) — the next three months might look bleak, boring and even unappealing. But all hope is not lost — there are benefits in taking a break from Hanover too. Appreciate these as you wistfully cross out days in your countdown to 15F move-in day.
Each week, Dartbeat asks a group of musically inclined students to recommend their favorite songs of the week according to a particular theme.

The Great Blackout of 2015 — black-in Dartmouth, black-in!
In the hopes of effectively combating a perceived intellectual laziness at this school, the ad hoc committee on grade inflation, chaired by biology professor Mark McPeek, published a 16-page report detailing proposed fixes for grade inflation at the College. We find the proposal's content and attitude toward students to be patronizing and misguided, divorced from the realities of modern college life by the committee's ideological tilt.
This year in Big Green athletics was jam-packed with exciting, inspirational and historic moments. Teams pulled monumental upsets, inscribed their names in the record books and wowed us all with clutch performances. Over the course of a year’s worth of these memorable moments, the five below stuck out as the best of the best. Whether defined by one moment of athletic excellence or a game-long display of technical skill, these moments will remain in the minds of Dartmouth sports fans for years to come.
When most students arrive at the College, they take a while to adjust to their surroundings and to learn how to succeed in Hanover. 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.
Delta Delta Delta sorority will separate from its national chapter following a vote from organization members,Tri-Delt president Lauren Buchanan ’16 wrote in an email. The decision to localize was announced to sorority members earlier this afternoon.
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.
We asked our opinion staff: "What are your thoughts on the proposal to end the non-recording option? What are the benefits or disadvantages of the NRO?"
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. The facility’s construction, which began in March, is slated to cost $55 million before it opens in the fall of 2017.
Following a thunderstorm, main campus lost power shortly before 5 p.m., associate vice president of facilities operations and management Frank Roberts announced in an email to campus. Liberty Utilities, the College's power provider, does not currently have an estimate for when power will be restored to main campus.
Every year, about 12 percent of Dartmouth's class takes a little bit longer than four years to graduate. The real question is: why won't you graduate on time?
But never fear — Dartbeat has decided to help you out. Consider using these essential strategies as you seek out your favorite study spot in the library for 15S finals.
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).
