Given my involvements in organizations like the Inter-Community Council and the Office of Pluralism and Leadership, I would have thought that my first appearance on The Dartmouth's opinion page would consist of some call to legislate social behavior, possibly regarding sexual assault or the Indian mascot. Instead I have chosen to write about the one (superficial) thing that has become most pertinent to my life over the course of the past few weeks: my looming departure from Dartmouth College.

Philosophy professor Adina Roskies received the 2011 Stanton Prize awarded to scholars who have made "significant contributions to interdisciplinary research" from the Society for Philosophy and Psychology, according to the Society's website. Roskies, a neuroscientist and philosopher who specializes in neuroethics, is currently writing a book on the philosophy of brain imaging, she said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Roskies plans to continue this project while serving as a Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Fellow at Princeton University's Center for Human Values next year. Roskies previously won the Society's William James Prize as a graduate student in 2002, she said.

This could have been the week of the college underdog. After Virginia Commonwealth University and Butler University effectively destroyed everyone's bracket mine included Butler ousted VCU to return to the national championship. Butler was only the third (second, officially) eighth seed in NCAA tournament history to reach the national championship.

Spring term at Dartmouth doesn't just mean melting snow and facetime on the Green it means prospies. Lots of them. Think hoards of high schoolers (the prob is the new schmob) roaming campus in search of future profile pics with Keggy and their first games of pong.

I just retired as a social chair. Self-call, I know. Despite the enormous chafery that is the job of social chair, the duties of the position allowed me to be one of the few students on campus to regularly enjoy the company of Jack Stinson. Because of this, I'm on the inside of the "Social Chair Jackets" joke. And now I'm going to bring all of you to the inside of this joke. And then I'll segue to another topic. But first, the jackets.

If you've been paying attention to ESPN recently, you know that it's trade season. The NBA trade deadline just passed while the NHL's is today, and big name stars like Carmelo Anthony have changed teams. All of the deadline talk got me thinking -- what if trades were allowed in collegiate sports? College teams are just like professional teams in many ways. Some are in the rebuilding phase and some are just a player away from winning a title. So what if teams could trade players to one another? Or even better, what if teams could trade away players for a couple of new recruits?

All sports fans dream. When you are a kid and you are shooting hoops in the driveway, you dream of playing in the NBA finals and making the game-winning shot. When you grow up and realize you'll never become a professional athlete, you dream of the day your favorite player will make a game-winning shot to win a championship for your favorite team. Dreaming is a way for sports fans to cope with all of the heartbreaks and losing seasons, until that one glorious moment of victory finally arrives (or in many Boston teams' cases, many moments of glory).

Every suggestion so far for a new Dartmouth mascot is stupid. You know why? Because none of these suggestions would please everyone.

Every time I go and watch the Dartmouth men's hockey team play, I'm hit with mixed emotions.

Dartmouth is not a respectable academic institution.
(01/28/11 4:00am)
We are a leading academic institution with a beer keg as our unofficial mascot. We work hard and party harder. As a community, we struggle now more than ever to reconcile our strong academic tradition with our propensity to have a good time. But the truth is that we are a vibrant, talented and diverse community ready to achieve great things in the world even if films such as Animal House and Superbad indicate otherwise.

While listening to a '62 reminisce over Christmas dinner about the spirited traditions and rustic lifestyle he had known at Dartmouth, I couldn't help but share in some of his nostalgia. It was saddening to appreciate that while Dartmouth has made great strides, it has also thrown away much of what made it special.

Readers, hi. You need to know that I cannot coddle you this term. The "OMG HAY!" of yesteryear was from a different me, a warmer me, a me that proclaimed "Dartmouth's my favorite!" with sickening sincerity. Well, that smile on the clock tower is taking an off-term in Hawaii with Malia and Sasha and is hereby replaced with sarcasm and disdain. You see, the winter brings out the Grinch in me. (While I'm specifically referring to his "mean, mean" ways, know that, as a Jew, if I could steal Christmas for myself, I would.) I thought I could fight winter's overwhelming powers of soul-destruction (see last week's column), but it took about three days for my cold heart to turn to black and my cold/flu to turn me into the Puffs mascot. And while "a nose in need deserves Puffs indeed," this demonic weather deserves bitchery and harsh judgment.

R.I.P.The Dartmouth Indian Mascot(and all talks about bringing it back)1769- 2010
(10/11/10 2:00am)
Especially for a school that prides itself so much on its communal spirit, Dartmouth's lack of a mascot is shameful. Harvard shares this distinction, and any similarities with that school should be setting off alarm bells. "Big Green" is really just as bad as "Crimson".

In Howard Stern's "Private Parts," there's a scene where Howard's programming director has given him a list of inappropriate words that he's no longer allowed to say on the radio. In order to get around this, Howard conducts a mock game show where he has contestants fill in the blank. The one I remember, for example, is Howard tells the callers that it's the sound a rooster makes and the phrase is "_____ a doodle do." It's hilarious.
