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.”
Finals — they’re coming.
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.
The Big Green enjoyed a year of firsts this year with a national title in equestrian and a first-ever appearance for the women’s tennis team in the NCAA tournament. Nordic skiing also saw its first national title in four years. Dartmouth enjoyed success in the Ivy League as well, winning the Ivy League softball championship for the second consecutive year and tallying four second-place Ivy League finishes — baseball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and football.
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.
Brown University: Provost Vicki Colvin has announced that she is stepping down to further pursue her own research after serving as the University’s Provost for only one year, the Brown Daily Herald reported. Her successor will be Brown’s fourth provost in a six-year span. Colvin will stay at Brown as a member of the faculty. Cornell University: Ryan Lombardi has been appointed vice president for student and campus life for the University, the Cornell Daily Sun reported. He is replacing longstanding vice president Susan Murphy, who has held the position for over 20 years. She will assist with fundraising activities and alumni affairs through June 2016 as Lombardi prepares to begin Aug. 1.

May 15, 5:29 a.m., The Choates Cluster: Safety and Security officers responded to a report of an intoxicated student between Cohen and Bissell. The individual was located, evaluated and transported to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center by ambulance.
It was a pleasant Saturday afternoon in San Francisco’s Marina district. The sun was out, as were the usual crowds of young families and trendy twenty-somethings. I am all too familiar with Chestnut Street and its array of clothing stores and restaurants, its always-busy Apple store and the seemingly immortal Marina movie theater. Susiecakes, however, is special — I have never once set foot in the store, despite having frequently passed its light blue walls and glass windows full of frostings from all over the rainbow. I have avoided this wonderland for far too long, and when the family for whom I was housesitting last weekend insisted I write about their whoopie pie for this column, I finally had the excuse I needed.
But most importantly, you documented it all. You woke up each morning with a headache and a 100-second long Snapchat story. Brilliant minds have devoted their lives to advancing technology so that you can flop your hands on the keyboard and text your crush at 3 am: “wanna make out?” And thank goodness for that, because your embarrassing texts are everyone else’s entertainment. Here are some of your peers’ “texts from last night.”
1. Tan on the Green Nothing will make you feel more like the quintessential Dartmouth student. Not only is the Green super facetimey, but you’re also getting a tan after becoming ghostly pale over the dark winter. Bring work if you want people to think you’re studious, or just take a nap under the pretense that you don’t have any. 2. Go canoeing/kayaking Summon your inner rower and head down to the Ledyard Clubhouse to rent a canoe or kayak. You can row to one of the river’s College-owned islands to have a snack or explore one of the DOC cabins, or just float along. If you’re lucky you can get a new profile picture of out it that makes you look attractive, crunchy and really happy.
I don’t know if I have the words to describe Onoe Caponoe’s work. His album “The Staircase to Nowhere” (2014) consists of spacey overlays and intricate verses. The effect is almost entirely novel, if a little disorienting. The album is an exercise in fantasy, and it all feels a little unreal. The vibe may be complicated, but it’s expected from Caponoe, a psychedelic British rapper. Another of his albums, “Voices from Planet Cattele” (2015), used interesting and esoteric samples to great effect. The spacey washed-out synths that permeate “The Staircase to Nowhere” are a progression, though Caponoe still enjoys playing with samples. The Game of Thrones audio clip in “Tale of the Buble Lord (Lurk of the Tiny King of the Shadows)” is subtle but effective. Submerged under the heavy beat, the clip grabs your attention and engages you in the track.
Each week, Dartbeat asks a group of musically inclined students to recommend their favorite songs of the week according to a particular theme. Finally, Green Key has arrived — but by Sunday, you’ll need a soundtrack to help you pick up the pieces and recover from your weekend of fun and debauchery. These are a few suggestions from our music staff for that playlist. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opeETnB8m8w[/embed]
Free Food: The amount of meal swipes you will save this weekend is tremendous.
For this year’s Green Key issue, we chose to focus on class and money.
This term, we have devoted our special issue to class and money at the College. Socioeconomic status, and the privileges or lack thereof that come with it, affect every aspect of our lives.
Brown University: A Brown Daily Herald poll in March asked the question “Do you feel inadequate relative to other Brown students?” The poll found that non-heterosexual students feel more inadequate compared to heterosexual students in categories such as academic abilities, social lives, sex/love lives, appearances and socioeconomic statuses. Hispanic and black students also reported greater feelings of inadequacy, whereas athletes and international students did not. Cornell University: Authorities, with the help of a New York State Police SCUBA Dive Team and a police helicopter, found the body of a man who fell into the Ithaca Falls on Tuesday near the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity. According to the Cornell Daily Sun, the police do not suspect foul play. They will not release the name of the victim until his identity has been confirmed through fingerprint identification.
Following the positive tests for Coliform and E. coli bacteria, the City of Lebanon issued a boil water order for potable water, effective until further notice, Safety and Security director Harry Kinne wrote in an email to campus. He said in an interview, however, that these findings will not affect Hanover and that authorities in Lebanon and West Lebanon are handling the situation.
