Almost 10 months ago, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., survived being shot point-blank in the head at a public event in Tucson. Despite the horrific attack, Giffords has made a remarkable recovery so far and has retained her elected position. Though some might delicately question whether her tragic injury has interfered with her ability to serve, the people of Arizona's 8th Congressional district would do well to hold on to Gabby, as they affectionately call her, in spite of her current limitations. Her survival story, although sad, is her biggest asset to positively change the political culture in Washington.

And so it begins: the controversial and rumor-plagued meal plan proposal of last Spring is the new dining reality for a skeptical mob of upperclassmen and a guinea pig class of freshmen locked into the largest plan. Only a week into Fall term, I admit that there is much to admire about the shiny new dining system. However, the tremendous value promised during the highly publicized rollout of the SmartChoice meal plan and the new Class of 1953 Commons has not been fully delivered. Dartmouth Dining Services has failed to make a nutritional value a focal point of the new dining system.

Reduced staff on duty, shorter appointment hours and the closure of the all-night infirmary are some of the adjustments Dick's House has made for a reduced student body during Summer terms, according to Director of Health Services Jack Turco. Keeping the infirmary open over Summer term "would be not a good use of the College's and students' tuition money," due to the smaller student body, Turco said.

It may seem ironic that I'm writing an article on how best to live your sophomore Summer when I've never actually lived a sophomore Summer.

So this makes me feel less like a fraud. Also, I fully intend to practice what I preach.
