A change to the Organization, Regulations and Courses manual narrowing the requirements for a course to fulfill a Technology and Applied Sciences distributive requirement passed approval by the Committee on Instruction and is awaiting a vote at a faculty meeting for the changes to be implemented. The changes are meant to emphasize the study of technology itself in TAS courses, not just its utilization.
The day has been gray and rainy and a glistening shield of blue aluminum siding bares its colossal teeth. The huge Wal-Mart letters shine valiantly on this blue facade as a monument to the feats of American entrepreneurship. The parking lot, a sprawling beast in its own right, extends from the store's front to Route 10 on West Lebanon's commercialized shopping strip. Topside's horizontal monopoly cannot hold a candle to this drearily decorated mecca of savings. Stepping out of the car upon arriving, a student used to Hanover's quiet streets immediately feels out of place.
WEB UPDATE, November 24, 5:45 p.m.
On Saturday night, prospective buyers, interested artists and fans of local artist Eric Aho gathered in Hanover's Spheris Gallery to hear an informal talk about the artist's work. Aho lives and works in Vermont, where he grew up, and has returned to teach after studying in Massachusetts, England and Finland.
Dartmouth (9-3-1, 4-0 Ivy) boasts an eight-game unbeaten streak and a perfect 4-0 Ivy League record. The Big Green defense, led by goalkeeper Amanda Webb '08, hasn't allowed a goal in eight games.
The Big Green ended a three-game losing and a four-game winless streak. Daniel Keat '10, the team's leading goal scorer, tallied the winning goal, his fourth of the season, in the fifth minute of overtime play. The win will provide some relief for the Big Green players, who were recently criticized for their inability to convert their scoring chances.
I write to rebut Doug Keare's '56 letter ("Time for Dartmouth to move on," Sept. 27) that claims the petition trustees did not work cooperatively with the Alumni Governance Task Force on the new constitution, a statement also echoed in a story in The Dartmouth ("Trustees turn down requests for participation," Sept. 20).
This high-profile move comes after J.B. Daukas, an architect of the proposed constitution, twice sought the input of the three trustees in the months between the release of the final draft of the proposed constitution and the deadline after which the proposal could not be changed. None of the three -- all of whom have vehemently opposed the proposal -- took Daukas up on his offer.
Yes, it's yet another guest editorial on "alumni governance" issues. Why care at all? Because College priorities are ultimately set by Dartmouth's trustees, and students are impacted in many ways, from rooming alternatives to course availability to resource allocations that impact your activities. You should care about how alumni are able to participate in electing those trustees.
It is easy to fall into the trap of treating sophomore summer -- a Dartmouth tradition since the mid-1970s -- as something of a less-than-equal cousin of the Fall, Winter and Spring sessions. In all honesty, who could blame you? The weather is beautiful, the campus is at its most stunning and there is a plethora of outdoor activities to take part in, from soccer to softball, the river to the ledges. For the members of Dartmouth's various Greek houses -- especially those who live therein -- the temptation to slough off work and rage seven nights a week is a powerful one indeed.
Faced with a week packed with papers and exams, Mita Sharma '08, a nominee for the Goldman Sachs Global Leaders Scholarship, dealt with a major setback when her computer crashed, and she lost her entire nearly-completed scholarship application four days before it was due.
The Hanover Institute, like many other Dartmouth alumni blogs, websites and organizations, is "dedicated to educating Dartmouth College alumni about important events at Dartmouth." Unlike many other grassroots efforts, though, the institute has been incorporated as a non-profit organization and solicits donations from Dartmouth community members and other interested parties -- an unusual two-thirds of which pay the salary of the organization's president, John MacGovern '80.
Recent movements urging consumers to reduce the country's dependence on oil by using an ethanol-gasoline combination to power their vehicles may be strengthened by a new process invented at Dartmouth. In response to the high costs of producing ethanol, which is made from corn and other grain products, current Thayer professor Lee Lynd and former Thayer researcher Y.H Percival Zhang have developed a new, cost-effective ethanol pretreatment process that could eventually help the United States break its dependence on foreign oil.
Last night approximately 14,000 high school seniors learned whether they had been accepted to the Class of 2010, as decisions were posted Thursday evening on the College's website in Dartmouth's most competitive year in admissions thus far.
Matt Hill: So I've got to admit, early on in the show last night I was actually afraid that I'd get every category right.
In high school, many of us were constantly preoccupied with SATs, ACTs, GPAs, WNBAs, N*SYNCs, etc. We served the community and participated in all kinds of quirky activities for the sake of the biggest self-call of all time: the college application. Back in those days, we were lame.
"Guest-Host Relationships" in great literature/bard-songs are go-to topics to bring up for discussion when you're trying to score points in any Classics or English class here at Dartmouth. Our notion of Guest-Host responsibilities has been informed by the experiences of pairs like Odysseus and King Alcinous, Huck Finn and the Grangerfords, Martha Stewart and Alderson and Sinbad and Phil Hartman. I'll briefly summarize the typical duties of each role, for you Econ majors out there who aren't familiar with the term "xenia" and haven't seen the film "Houseguest." (Now that's what I call tragedy -- I'm sure it's at Videostop.)
While Winter Carnival is a weekend full of memories, those seeking more tangible souvenirs can hunt beyond Hanover for a variety of collectibles from Carnivals past.
Dartmouth Outing Club founder Fred Harris '11 spurred the event's creation with a 1909 editorial in The Dartmouth calling for an annual winter athletic showcase. Although Harris sprained his ankle escaping the South Fayerweather dormitory when it burned to the ground and was unable to attend the first "Winter Meet" himself, his voice was heard, and the ancestor of the Carnival was first held on February 26, 1910 at Occom Pond.
For the Dartmouth swimming and diving teams, success is seldom defined in black and white terms. An eventual team loss to a superior opponent is often less important than the individual improvements that can result from swimming against stiffer competition.
