Dartmouth students do plenty of “experiential learning” — maybe not the kind that College President Phil Hanlon has campaigned for. But simply being a college student necessitates experiential learning. As I enter the beginning of the end of junior year (aka the end of third week of term), I feel compelled to share what I’ve learned about Dartmouth so far. While I like to consider myself an active, in-the-know member of the Dartmouth community, I mistook a group of overeager high school Model United Nations students for Dimensions prospies a few weekends ago. I was also unaware that Dimensions is going to be taking place over three separate weekends this year until I told this story to my friend the other day. With that information in mind, I have some advice for you underclassmen (as well as any ’18s reading this, if this weekend happens to be one of the Dimensions weekends). Take it at your own risk.

Dressed in neon pink tights, a sequined shirt and a black cape, Blaine Steinberg ’15 sat in Dartmouth Broadcasting’s studio, describing her typical Sunday afternoon to the station’s general manager. Under the name D.J. Blizzle, Steinberg listed her daily routine: she would do CrossFit with her father and then watch her favorite sport of the season: football, hockey or baseball.

The survey was simple, comprised of only five questions: Gender? Class year? Are you affiliated or unaffiliated? Would you send your son to Dartmouth? Would you send your daughter? Most respondents took less than a minute to answer. When asked to elaborate on the questions, however, I got more variety than the survey could ever provide.

The College has no shortage of traditions, from laps around the Homecoming bonfire to the semi-legal late-night swim that is the Ledyard Challenge. During past Winter Carnivals, however, some combination of cabin fever and a College-sanctioned holiday have driven students to come up with some downright ridiculous traditions.

Though Winter Carnival initially emphasized skiing, the sport’s role in the weekend has decreased over the years. Regardless, certain events still cater to the sport’s tradition at the College. Both the Dartmouth Skiway and the Dartmouth Outing Club have worked to make Carnival skiing-related events fun for all participating students.

Professors are cancelling classes, there’s a giant conglomerate of ice and wood in the center of the Green and my friends are talking eagerly of finishing tomorrow’s midterm so they can start binge drinking immediately afterward. Ah yes, Winter Carnival has finally arrived.

For incoming freshmen, Homecoming will likely be the most meaningful big weekend. The late October event is a formal introduction to the Dartmouth community and leads to memorable bonding experiences.

When he arrived on campus in the fall of 1969, Dartmouth was an all-male institution with little diversity. Though Dartmouth's demographics have changed, it still values and encourages strong student-faculty relationships and a commitment to undergraduate teaching, he said.

I first heard about Green Key during First-Year Trips. Naturally, my trippees and I wanted to absorb as much information as possible about Dartmouth's traditions and big weekends. Upperclassmen mentioned Homecoming and the bonfire, as well as Winter Carnival and its ski races, but Green Key apparently lacked a central event. It seemed to remain a big weekend just as an excuse to kick back and take a break from school.

Students often change their minds about many aspects of Dartmouth throughout their timehere, but whether you are a freshman, senior or alumnus, it's unlikely that your perspective on Green Key will evolve.After experiencing the weekend last year, Chase Mertz '15 agreed with the enthusiastic freshmen.

Writing this column was incredibly difficult. What is there really to say about Green Key weekend? There are many parties. Some of them are outside, because the weather is often nice. Unlike Homecoming with its creepy rituals and Winter Carnival with its forced attempts at "being fun" instead of dogs pulling the sleds, we're using humans! to make you forget that it's colder than a well-digger's ass, as my dad would say, Green Key is not a weekend of many gimmicks. The arrival of spring requires little celebration beyond simply reveling in good weather with good company.

In the 1950s, students crowned a Green Key Sweetheart at the prom, an honor bestowed upon the "prettiest lady" at the dance. The weekend inspired one Mt. Holyoke student to say, "Harvard men have the brains, Princeton men the clothes, Yalies the conversation but it's Dartmouth for the sex and stuff."

Saturday at 3 p.m. marked the kick-off of Relay for Life, an international overnight fundraiser where teams take laps around a track, raising both money and awareness for the American Cancer Society.

In China, the Shared Grief of Losing a Single Child Like Lu Lingzi— Didi Kirsten Tatlow, IHT Rendezvous (The New York Times)The Death of Chinese student Lu Lingzi in the Boston Marathon attack and the earthquake in Sichuan Province on Saturday prompted the discussion about China’s “one child policy”. Until 2012, at least one million families lost their only child. Families who suffered the lost of their single child are referred as a “vulnerable social group” in China because parents in their old age lost their main source of income and therefore many face poverty.
