Our Energy, Our Future
(01/27/06 11:00am)
It is a regrettable fact: our government has failed to act in finding a viable solution to the impending energy crisis. Yes, our generation will face a full-blown energy crisis. The harbingers of doom have begun to emerge. Oil is currently trading at $67 a barrel. Not surprisingly, by the end of 2005, our trade deficit was in excess of $60 billion. And yes, our government has failed to act. Last summer, given an opportunity to revolutionize energy research and distribution, our Congress stumbled its way through the passage of an uncreative, anachronistic and misguided Energy Bill.
She's a Woman -- So What?
(01/26/06 11:00am)
Uh-oh, kids -- the world's about to end. Yes, that's right, two countries now have newly-elected female presidents: Liberia and Chile. Although these women are different, they both have two X chromosomes. Michelle Bachelet, the president of Chile, is a single mother of three children and a self-pronounced agnostic -- and a socialist. She is the wife of no one, and so is riding on no one's "coattails," as The New York Times recently printed. Meanwhile, the president of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, is a 67-year-old Harvard-trained economist, who has held positions at Citibank, the United Nations and the World Bank. She has been jailed twice for voicing opposition to the former government of Liberia, and she is nicknamed the "Iron Lady."

Big Green football falls 42-14 to Harvard in Cambridge
(10/31/05 11:00am)
Against a big rival, records can often prove irrelevant. Two years ago, behind the miraculous diving reception of Andrew Hall '05 that can only be called, "The Catch," the Big Green shocked Harvard in Cambridge with a 30-16 victory. One year ago, despite finishing with a 1-9 record, Dartmouth came a point shy of upending the Crimson at Memorial Field and spoiling its perfect season before a failed two-point conversion led to a 13-12 Harvard win.
Football gives the fans what they want
(10/24/05 9:00am)
There is no doubt that alumni who can easily recall the glory days of Dartmouth football, either during the early 1990s or even as far back as the mid-20th century, when the Big Green footballers reached their national peak, have viewed the past eight seasons with disdain. However, for one brisk October afternoon, 6,222 grimaces turned to smiles and the burly men of Dartmouth were kings again as the Big Green (2-4, Ivy 1-2) triumphed over Columbia (2-4, Ivy 0-3), 17-6, at Memorial Field for a homecoming victory.

(10/14/05 9:00am)
