It’s pretty crazy to think that the summer quarter is ending in less than three weeks. The term flew by, and I have learned a lot this summer. But one thing that will always confuse me about this campus is the unpredictable weather patterns. I have no complaints about the summer temperatures in good ol’ Hanover, but I have yet to master the concept of humidity and how to best prepare myself for it. Every humid day leads to my wanting to wear flip flips, because my feet get uncomfortable in fluffy socks, but I think I there has only been one day this summer where I have worn my flip-flops and it hasn’t rained. It’s as if I’m Dartmouth’s Karen, from Mean Girls—my feet can always tell when it’s already raining.

Towards the end of our dinner, my friend and I were talking about a Buzzfeed article we had read about sangria — a drink I had recently on my study abroad program in Argentina — and the many ways it can be made. As I got up to make myself a dessert, I spontaneously decided to take some inspiration from the fruity beverage, or at least see if it was possible. To the surprise of everyone I was sitting with, I managed to make a delicious dessert with real appeal — essentially a non-alcoholic sangria with the elements of a tasty root beer float.

Charles Collis ’37, a lifelong supporter of the College, died Tuesday at the age of 99. Remembered by family and friends as modest and down-to-earth despite his prolific accomplishments in business and philanthropy, Collis always credited Dartmouth with teaching him to think and setting him on a path to success.

For featured violinist Alex Styk ’14, Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra’s Saturday evening concert will be a musical marathon. After a year of practice, he will solo in a 35 minute-long piece that involves lyrical syncopation and closes with a finger-numbing finale.

Well, I was going to write about the Grammys, but it looks like Luke McCann ’16 beat me to it. Oh well, it sounds like he watched it anyway, while I spent my Sunday night watching “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

Between fall 2012 and fall 2013, the proportion of alcohol incidents involving first-year students decreased from 49 to 46 percent of all incidents, according to data released Monday by the Dartmouth College Health Improvement Program and the Greek Leadership Council. During that time period, the overall number of incidents of intoxicated undergraduate students handled by Safety and Security dropped approximately 16 percent, from 99 incidents in fall 2012 to 83 in fall 2013. This shows a continued decline from prior years as well. In fall 2010 Safety and Security picked up 123 intoxicated students, and in fall 2011 they handled 111.

After a recent victory, women’s basketball forward Fanni Szabo ’17 taught her teammates to say “believe in yourself” in Hungarian. Although injuries and illnesses have taken their toll on the women’s basketball team to the tune of a 2-12, 0-1 Ivy League record, Szabo, a Budapest native, consistently pushes her teammates to step up their game.

The College offers a number of honors designations as motivators for high academic achievement. These include general Latin honors and departmental honors common to most higher education institutions. However, Dartmouth gives its students a unique accolade: citations. These individualized honors supposedly add a more personal touch to the College’s otherwise egalitarian, albeit sometimes cold, grading system.

Fewer Dartmouth students are majoring in the humanities and are shifting toward the social sciences, mathematics and engineering. The change in enrollments across departments has affected staffing and faculty decisions, as well course offerings, as some departments work to stretch resources while others attempt to bolster student interest.

For a school whose annual fee increases continue to outstrip national inflation, one might assume that our facilities would be fairly high-quality. At the very least, one would think they'd be functional. Unfortunately, when it comes to Greenprint, apparently this is too much to ask. With inadequate numbers and locations of stations, an even scarcer supply of actually operational stations and a software system riddled with problems, Greenprint is wholly unreliable and deficient in meeting the needs of Dartmouth's student body.

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center officials met with a special state tax commission on Thursday to discuss how New Hampshire taxes hospitals, the Associated Press reported. The representatives said DHMC is penalized with taxes for integrating laboratory services, outpatient oncology and ambulance care with Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, though it is in the patients' best interest to do so. Until 2011, hospitals were refunded state tax money, but the federal government now requires the state to distribute money based on the Medicaid cost of each respective hospital, the report said.

It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great college when they see some of the most promising persons of the upcoming generation wasting their potential and dimming their intellectual capabilities every night. Sexual assault, hazing, binge drinking and intolerance are but a few of the consequences brought on by the prevalence of the fraternity system at the College. I think it is agreed by all parties that this male-dominated space has led to the exclusion of those who do not conform to the traditional gender norms of what society has decided constitutes a male. But my intention is very far from alienating those involved with the Greek system, as I believe they can be the primary agents for change. Indeed, there is an opportunity here that has been missed by most of the campus.

If Weather.com gives any indication for how successful Green Key will be this year, the weekend looks like it has potential. With highs hovering around 70 and the chances of showers low, Green Key weekend will likely live up to its reputation as being the hardest few days to sneak away into the library to put the finishing touches on a paper (been there), or study for Monday’s late midterm (seriously, what prof would schedule that?)

Shin hanga was in part a reaction against modernization, a manifestation of nostalgia for the Japan of the past amid the growing smokestacks, telephone wires and Western architecture in Tokyo. It sought to demonstrate the endurance of traditional Japanese art as the country experienced an influx of Western art and culture, and artists were consciously attempting to revitalize a traditional technique for a modern audience instead of adopting newer methods like photography.

A few programs experienced modest increases in the number of applications, including the Geisel School of Medicine's master's program in public health, Thayer School of Engineering and Tuck School of Business's master's program in engineering and management and Thayer's master's of science and engineering and PhD programs. Most programs, however, experienced only a one-year spike in 2008, the worst year of the financial crisis, according to the Office of Institutional Research.

To be honest, I was just as skeptical about “The Carrie Diaries” as everyone else. Candace Bushnell, the creator of the show and author of the series, was taking on a big project with “Sex and the City”-sized shoes to fill.
