Last year, Wilco completed their latest album, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot." But their record label, Reprise, rejected their fourth, and quite possible best, studio album and kicked them off the label. So now the album has been released on a reprise subsidiary, Nonesuch.
It seems that as I forge my way through year after year of education, more and more people start to ask me what I plan to do after college. Admittedly this is expected. Attending and graduating from a prestigious institution of higher learning is supposed to yield immediate success in the real world. At a Christmas party my parents held this past December, I found myself having the same conversation over and over with many different people. It wasn't a horrible ordeal; in some ways it was flattering. The average conversation went something like this:

Some people are "extreme hardcore," others are "hardcore," and still others like me rarely venture into Pine Park without a flashlight, flare-gun and supply of toilet paper. I've never really considered myself much of an outdoorsman. Sure, I do enjoy the occasional brisk trot up a modest hill, like the walk between the River Apartments and Food Court, but I've never really aspired for more than weekend-walker status. It was with this in mind that I greeted the idea of hiking in the thin air of Utah with reserved enthusiasm.

One of the most impressive aspects of the Dartmouth women's hockey team this season, besides its 11-2-1 (7-1 ECAC North) record and No. 6 national ranking, is that it has had so much success without arguably its best player: Correne Bredin '02.
In general, women's teams at Dartmouth tend to be better than their male counterparts -- but that's debatable. One thing that isn't debatable is that the women's ice hockey team is currently the best varsity program at this school. Period.
Dartmouth head coach John Lyons summed up his team's dismal situation with a simple simile.
Dartmouth has long prided itself on the quality of its undergraduate teaching among its Ivy League peers. Many consider it to be the very hallmark of a Dartmouth education. This commitment cannot become trite. Last year's Academic Direction Report presented by the Student Assembly emphasized the distinction between mere public emphasis on teaching and institutional support of teaching. There is no bigger academic issue at the College than the continued preeminence of undergraduate teaching. The aim of the Undergraduate Teaching Initiative is to ensure that SA plays an active role in ensuring that undergraduate teaching remains front and center of the academic institutional agenda. The UTI is envisioned as a permanent and continuous initiative of the Student Assembly dedicated to keeping teaching at the fore of any discussion about the academic reorientation of Dartmouth.
