The Moose is Loose
(02/24/97 11:00am)
All of you who were at this past weekend's basketball and hockey games saw what I saw -- 2 great things: action on the main stage and a surprise in the stands.
New mascot, the Moose, unveiled at UPenn game
(02/24/97 11:00am)
The Big Green Backers, the coordinators of a search for a College mascot to accompany the Big Green nickname, unveiled their suggestion -- the Moose -- at Friday night's men's basketball game against the University of Pennsylvania at Leede Arena.
Hanover's big chill: tour the Army's cold regions research lab
(01/22/97 11:00am)
Think it's cold out? Well, it's a lot colder inside, just a few minutes down the road at the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory.
Mascot backers plan another survey
(01/13/97 11:00am)
The Big Green Backers, the coordinators of a search for a College mascot, will send an e-mail message to students this week asking if they support finding a mascot to accompany the Big Green nickname, according to a press release issued by the group.
The Mascot Search
(11/25/96 11:00am)
This whole thing started just over a year ago on a fall day in the middle of the week when I ran into four friends in food court and sat down for lunch. Out of our conversation, from no one in particular, sprang the question: "Why don't we have a mascot?" It wasn't the first time the question had been asked, nor the first time I'd thought about the answer, but for some reason this time the thought lingered in the air above us. We started talking. What-ifs and why-nots richocheted back and forth. And out of the banter came a plan: to find out if we could do something about Dartmouth's mascot vacancy.
Zebra Mascot Fills Need for Tradition, History, Racial Harmony
(11/12/96 11:00am)
In last Thursday's D, members of the Conservative Union at Dartmouth called the Indian mascot "a historical convention" whose return was necessary to "preserve the traditions of the school" [Nov. 6]. You know, the same tired old arguments we've been hearing for practically forever. ("Oh no," you're thinking, "not another boring column attacking the lack of sensitivity of the Indian mascot!" Fear not, friend, you'll enjoy reading this column.) While doing some unrelated research for my thesis, I came across a new solution to this old argument. Something which will interest everyone concerned with the search for a new mascot.
Hockey opens ECAC competition tonight
(11/08/96 11:00am)
Dartmouth hockey's schedule starts to slowly heat up this weekend, as the Big Green opens ECAC conference play with a pair of games Friday and Saturday night against Union and RPI, respectively.
'00s Should Know All the Facts
(11/08/96 11:00am)
At this year's Homecoming football game three freshman were arrested for the "crime" of rushing the field. Dean Goldsmith seems to think that my "infantile taunting" in the Homecoming issue of the Dartmouth had something to do with this (Oct. 18).
Moose tops rankings in student mascot poll
(11/07/96 11:00am)
The Dartmouth Moose has emerged as students' number one choice for a College mascot in the recent World Wide Web-based survey, while the Indian has received 10 percent of students' support.
The Mascot: An Off-Campus Perspective
(11/06/96 11:00am)
At least from an off-campus perspective, Dartmouth's mascot seems to be the pressing issue of the term. Moose? Mountaineers? Indians? Kermits? Big Green Slimes? Opinions and suggestions abound, as does criticism of the group that is attempting to bring a new mascot to The Big Green. In a recent issue of The Dartmouth, Anat Levtov '98 disparaged the move to find a new mascot when there are more pressing issues at hand ["The Next Project for Dartmouth," Oct. 21, 1996]. Levtov is both correct and in error.
Think About Racism This Weekend
(11/01/96 11:00am)
This weekend, nearly 300 students, faculty and administrators from schools across the Northeast will gather at Dartmouth to discuss ways to counter racism and discrimination in higher education. These conversations will take place as part of a conference hosted by Dartmouth's Interracial Concerns Committee titled "The Challenges of Diversity: From Talkin' the Talk to Walkin' the Walk."
Where's the Romance?
(10/31/96 11:00am)
I find it more than a little puzzling why one of the most aesthetically beautiful campuses in this country is teeming with about as much romance as an auto body shop in Detroit. Surrounded by mind-numbing foliage, picnic hills and postcard ponds, we remain a school much dominated by keg jumps and pong tables and one night stands. Or more like one night stumbles. No one takes walks here, or holds hands, or gazes at stars, never mind all three at once. And no, sex on the Bema doesn't count.
Off the Warpath
(10/25/96 9:00am)
Every ten years or so, Dartmouth students, running out of more important things to worry about, set out to find a new school mascot. It happened in 1973 and 1984. So, since there are clearly no major social issues out there about which we should be concerned right now, here we go again in '96. Whee! Go, team.
Thirteen Ways of Looking at Dartmouth
(10/22/96 9:00am)
Oh Dartmouth, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways ...
The Next 'Project For Dartmouth'
(10/21/96 9:00am)
Like most of us, I go through stages when I seriously doubt my decision to attend Dartmouth. We are lacking in so many respects up here in rural New England -- not enough social outlets, not enough people, not enough culture, and really not enough snow. And, to top it all off, we don't even have a mascot!
Past bonfires loom large in history of Homecoming
(10/18/96 9:00am)
Tonight the College will enter its second century of Homecoming celebrations as the Class of 2000 joins upperclassmen and alumni for Dartmouth Night.
What's Wrong With 'The Big Green'?
(10/17/96 9:00am)
"Here we go Yeti, here we go!!!" Now that's exciting. Or how about, "Let's go Big Green Woodsmen!!!" Or, "Come on Moose!!!" I don't think so.
CUAD seeks return of Indian
(10/17/96 9:00am)
The Conservative Union at Dartmouth passed a resolution Monday night to back the Indian as the College's mascot in the name of tradition.
Big Green Needs New Mascot
(10/14/96 9:00am)
Since the College dropped the Indian symbol in the 1970s, the Dartmouth community has been in need of a replacement mascot. Our current "Big Green" rallying cry for Dartmouth sports teams leaves students uninspired.
