(10/10/03 9:00am)
Following a dismal financial year in 2002, Dartmouth's $2.1 billion endowment is starting to show signs of recovery. College assets rose by two percent over the 2003 fiscal year, surpassing expectations of zero yield, but failing to keep up with larger gains among other Ivy League schools.
Angry Tigers, Oxycontin Addicts
(10/09/03 9:00am)
Not to take the side of the tiger but I think Roy Horn, half of the Las Vegas duo Siegfried & Roy, had it coming. Roy was attacked by his favorite pet tiger the other day during a show and is now in critical condition. All the hearts in the world go out to Roy for a fast recovery but come on: who plays with a tiger and doesn't expect to get mauled?

On the Fence
(08/18/03 9:00am)
Perhaps you have asked yourself why two, parallel lengths of fence stand in the southwest corner of the Green. The answer is a matter of history and tradition. There was a time when the good residents of Hanover shared this plot of grass with the students of Dartmouth. Yes, wild farm animals once grazed freely on what is today our intensely fertilized playground.
Single Frame's new EP: A fascinating revolution
(08/08/03 9:00am)
Single Frame's 2002 debut release, 'Wetheads Come Running', sounded like Modest Mouse dropping acid with Fugazi. Full of twisted pop songs and electronic experimentation, Single Frame created a unique and memorable sound that explored the boundaries of harmony and cacophony. The band's new EP, 'Burn Radio Airtest', modifies and evolves this sound over eight songs and 17 minutes.
Diplomatto head Dickey
(07/21/03 9:00am)

A Modest Complaint
(07/01/03 9:00am)
I am using this forum to convey a major complaint against your institution's policies and admissions standards. In early June of this year, I saw a report on the New England Cable News network. On the newscast, a story was aired that has been truly bothering me from the time I watched it. The story dealt with a young, affluent man from Brookline, Mass. and his personal refusal to take the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System exam. As the members of your administration are well aware, the MCAS exam is Massachusetts high school exit exam. As stated on the news segment featuring this young man, he expressed that it was time for him to find a cause, because his parents had one. He expressed that he felt bad because the majority of the people who were not passing the MCAS exam were inner-city students.

(04/14/03 9:00am)
A man of modest beginnings, H. Carl McCall was raised by a single mother on welfare in Roxbury, Mass.

Penny Pinching Proposals for Parkhurst
(01/29/03 11:00am)
By now, it would be safe to assume that only the computer geeks living in the basement of Sudikoff remain unaware of the necessity of budget cuts at Dartmouth. Having taken all of five classes in Economics, I feel myself absolutely qualified to contribute my ideas on how Parkhurst should approach this new diet of fiscal austerity. Any self respecting consultant would tell you that there are three ways to deal with gaping holes in the accounts: One is to cut costs, the second to raise revenue and the third to bury the shortfalls in special purpose entities.
After 40 years, students still rub Warner Bentley's nose
(01/28/03 11:00am)
Affectionately called The Hop by Dartmouth students, The Hopkins Center for the Arts is the cultural hub of the Upper Valley. Every year it brings artists from every corner of the world to little Hanover, N. H., and every day delivers mail and serves, according to many, the best French fries on campus.
Exhibition paints fascinating portrait of modernism
(11/25/02 11:00am)
The 10-year period between 1910 and 1920 may at first seem like an extraordinarily short time span in which to study innovations in art. In terms of the wave of modernism that swept through the art world in the early years of the 20th century, though, this single decade had an enormous impact on transforming the ways in which artists and their viewers would forever look at art.

Cyber-threats brought Vatis from Beltway to Hanover
(11/05/02 11:00am)
When a visitor enters Michael Vatis' office at the Institute of Security Technology Studies, he reflexively scans his desk for red-bordered documents -- the government's standard indicator of classified information. While these documents are safely secured, two framed pictures stand out: the first, a Matisse print, the second, a photograph of the Department of Defense.
