Well, good news -- "The BlabberForce" is off to a roaring start. They've recruited some prominent figureheads at Parkhurst, including President Wright and Dean Larimore. In their effort to perk up Dartmouth's image, they've composed a delightful new slogan: "We cannot be good for good sake. We must tell people how good we are." That's rich. They've also unveiled a new logo (you could even call it a Brand). It depicts a ghoulish pair of lips with a flaccid tongue flopping out, much like the Rolling Stones icon. But get this -- the tongue is pierced with a ring in the shape of a "D." Fine work, guys: you'll be name-dropping again in no time.

The year: 1978. The place: Digital Equipment Corporation. Digital, one of the largest computer manufacturers of the industry's infancy, has just created its latest computer and is looking for buyers. One Digital employee tries a new way to advertise: he sends an e-mail to every West Coast user of Arpanet, the forerunner of today's internet. Spam is born.

Bombs continued to fall on Baghdad last night and Coalition forces have reportedly captured a number of high-ranking Iraqi military officers in recent days. At least 67 American and British troops have died so far, according to military officials.

Since opening the Ivy League season on Jan. 4 in Cambridge, the Big Green men's basketball team has sent a youthful lineup, containing only four upperclassmen, onto courts from Providence to Philadelphia. There, the Big Green youth movement has done battle with veteran opponents, including Brown's Earl Hunt and Alai Nuualiitia, Princeton's Kyle Wente and Ray Robins, and Pennsylvania's First Team All-Ivy trio of Andrew Toole, Ugonna Onyekwe and Koko Archibong. Despite Dartmouth's 0-6 league record (4-15 overall), the results have been encouraging for Dartmouth head coach Dave Faucher's young team.

During the 2001-02 season, Dartmouth's home weekend against Yale and Brown represented the progress made during a period of tremendous growth on the Big Green women's basketball team.

Ever look at someone and suddenly, unbidden, the thought "Old School" emerges from the depths? Not old school in the sense of Dr. J with a huge Afro or a helmet-less Bobby Orr, but rather a sense of pervading dignity and honor in the mold of Dean Smith or Joe Paterno. These heroic figures (for heroes they are) stand unwavering in the stream of professionalization in major college athletics, holding onto principle and honesty that is increasingly lacking from collegiate athletic departments (see Bob Huggins, Jerry Tarkanian, anyone associated with Alabama football).

Seven students and six administrators met once a week for a term, an hour at a time, on the second floor of Thayer Hall. Their task was thorny -- devising a new meal plan system for Dartmouth Dining Services.

Although Dartmouth's athletic program is currently ranked among the top-20 in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, this week's edition of Sports Illustrated places Dartmouth athletics in the middle of the heap -- 108th in the nation among the 324 Division I athletic programs and seventh in the Ivy League.

Entangled in accusations of scandal, corruption and rampant over-commercialization, Golden Key International Honour Society's presence at Dartmouth continues to grow despite the society's alienation from its peers in the academic community.

After graduation, just about everyone has some memories of Winter Carnival -- some vivid, some blurred. Soon the '05s will be making their first memories and the '02s will be making their last.

Cornell and Columbia roll into the Upper Valley this weekend standing as the No. 1 and No. 3 teams in Ivy League women's basketball, respectively. This is a different story than that of recent years past, when Harvard, Dartmouth and Penn sat atop the Ancient Eight and received automatic bids to the NCAA tournament.

The Dartmouth men's basketball team begins the most important stretch of its schedule this weekend, hosting Yale on Friday and Brown on Saturday in two crucial games. Dartmouth faces off against Ivy League opponents in all 10 remaining contests; the schedule therefore affords the Big Green the latitude of finishing anywhere from first in the Ancient Eight (though it is highly unlikely) to eighth.

Late Wednesday night, I was talking with a friend in her room; she and three friends had just been through the rush process together. At its end, her three companions -- two of whom are her roommates -- were all granted a bid to their first-choice sorority. She was not given a bid to that sorority, or to any other.

Title IX, a federal statute created in 1972 to promote equal opportunities in collegiate athletics for men and women, remains controversial 30 years after its inception. The National Wrestling Coaches Association filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Education last Wednesday, maintaining that Title IX discriminates against men's lower-tiered sports such as wrestling.

Coming off the most impressive performance of the season, the men's Big Green basketball team had a decision to make. The team could either make the logical progression toward success by playing with a sense of purpose and intensity or they could come out flat and let the bigger, buffer Hartford Hawks push them around in the paint. It seemed as if Dartmouth decided to follow both courses of action in last night's 67-65 overtime loss.
