I am running because I, like you, have higher expectations for this campus.
At Dartmouth, or really any and all colleges where socializing often involves drinking, student-athletes are confronted with balancing drinking habits and their athletic performance. How much and how often athletes decide to drink varies depends on a lot of specific team factors while some teams have more lax stances on drinking, others face stricter consequences that make them ardent adherents to their teams' dry season.
At Dartmouth, student-athletes like myself are forced to transcend the hyphen dividing these two very different responsibilities and be both a teammate as well as part of the larger Dartmouth community. However, the cultural sphere surrounding athletics and football often conflicts with the values and rhetoric of Dartmouth outside of the playing field.
"It is difficult to identify any major personal problems that do not have some element of self-control failure," he said.
This week, The Wall Street Journal asked the question, "Has the Sexual Revolution Been Good for Women?" Hoover Institution research fellow Mary Eberstadt answers "no," arguing that the sexual revolution has made women unhappier, disinclined to settle down and more likely to suffer from mental health issues. Eberstadt blames the deteriorating social safety net, decline of the nuclear family and increasing incidence of voluntary single motherhood via adoption and donor sperm in vitro fertilization on the ills of the post-pill world. While Eberstadt does point to some interesting cultural phenomena, the idea of the sexual revolution being their root cause is wrong-headed due to alternate causalities and unrelated external pressures.
To the Editor:
Like many, I am devastated to see Advisor to Asian-American Students Nora Yasumura resign ("Yasumura resigns advising post," March 6). A critical mentor in the Dartmouth community, Nora Yasumura was the advisor to the Pan-Asian Community, the Inter-Community Council, the Diversity Peer Program, First Generation Network and many other student groups. What devastates me even more is the troubling trend of advocates for students leaving the College after years of dedicated work that has gone unacknowledged by the institution. Last spring, we witnessed a string of minority women resignations, but what we left out of the debate was their common vision of making this campus a better place by being compassionate allies and mentors to students.
Adults living with serious mental illnesses can improve their physical fitness, increase their lifespan and even alleviate their psychiatric symptoms by participating in a program known as In SHAPE, according to Stephen Bartels, director of the Dartmouth Centers for Health and Aging. With the help of a $10-million Medicaid grant awarded in the fall to the state of New Hampshire, The Dartmouth Institute and the Dartmouth Centers for Health and Aging will study the ways in which In SHAPE and health incentives programs can improve the well-being of mentally ill adults across the state, Bartels said.
Back in October 2011, The Dartmouth reported that the College was in the process of hiring additional mental health counselors and would be considering ways to expand the space available within Dick's House physical plant ("Dick's House undergoes review," Oct. 3, 2011). These changes were proposed in response to last spring's external review of campus health services, which revealed severe deficiencies in mental health services, sports medicine and the availability of primary care examination rooms. The report came as no surprise to many Dartmouth students, who have long complained of poor and inefficient care at Dick's House.
Panelists stressed the importance of seeking assistance from the College's various health resources. They also encouraged their fellow students to understand the challenges others may face because of their respective disabilities and health-related issues, some of which may not be immediately visible.
Despite the absence of snow and below freezing temperatures and therefore the cancellation of traditional events that pose a risk of injury Safety and Security and Dartmouth Emergency Medical Services both plan to staff additional patrols during Winter Carnival, according to representatives from each organization.

The Dartmouth United Way Steering Committee has set a new record following its most recent fundraising campaign for Upper Valley-based Granite United Way, according to Diana Lawrence, co-chair of the steering committee. The campaign, which ran from November to January, received $282,000 from 600 donors, both of which constitute record numbers.

Deep brain stimulation may prove a viable treatment option for patients with treatment-resistant depression, according to a study co-authored by Paul Holtzheimer, a psychiatrist at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Holtzheimer collaborated with researchers at the Emory University School of Medicine to investigate the effects of DBS on both major depressive disorder and bipolar II disorder.
The suicide of Bradley Ginsburg, a member of Cornell University's class of 2013, prompted Ginsberg's father to sue Cornell, several university administrators and the city of Ithaca, N.Y., The Cornell Daily Sun reported Friday. Although the bridge where the suicide occurred is owned by the city, the student's father, Howard Ginsburg, said the university could have done more to prevent his son's death. Ginsburg's death and similar incidents could have been prevented if the university had made mental health a larger priority and raised more awareness of the three student suicides that occurred in 2009, Howard Ginsburg said in the lawsuit he filed on Nov. 21. Since Ginsburg's death, Cornell has installed fences and 24-hour guards at the site of the bridge. The university expects that the case will be dismissed, a Cornell spokesperson said in an interview with the Ithaca Journal.
It was a picture-perfect finish. Holding hands and short of breath, lifelong friends Katie Rohn '14 and Annie Oppenheim '15 crossed the finish line in Central Park on Sunday after having started the New York City Marathon over four hours earlier. Rohn and Oppenheim, both inexperienced marathon runners, raced through all five New York City boroughs along with more than 45,000 other runners, including Audrey Sherman '14.
When the clocks push back an hour for the Daylight Savings switch, many students go to sleep knowing that they will have an extra hour of much needed shut-eye. Yet as we gain one additional hour of sleep, we lose an hour of daylight every day for the next few months. This not only disheartens those of us who enjoy afternoon runs and 6 p.m. sunsets, but also brings about the winter darkness and consequently, Seasonal Affective Disorder.
