In 1992, Marc Jacobs, then a young and largely unknown designer for Perry Ellis, shocked the fashion world with his landmark Grunge collection, a witty tribute to the youth culture of Seattle's emergent music scene. Encapsulating the "throwaway attitude of rock and roll," the clothes were luxe versions of the trend's staples: oversize flannel shirts, ratty sweaters, chaotic layering, long skirts in dark colors and crocheted skullcaps worn over lank unwashed hair.

The ongoing Association of Alumni elections, which end June 5, have drawn more student involvement than most -- with students circulating letters, authoring editorials and reaching out to alumni in order to affect the vote -- but there are similarities between the student movements in this election and those in recent ones.

In case you were wondering, this delusional back story was brought to you courtesy of "Rock Band", the latest and unequivocally greatest installment in this generation's ongoing series of beat-based music video games. Developed by Harmonix Music Systems, the team that crafted "Guitar Heroes I", II and "Encore: Rocks the '80s", the much-hyped "Rock Band" is everything longtime fans of the "Guitar Hero" series could have hoped it would be, and still more. Presenting drums and the microphone as the lifelike new peripherals, "Rock Band" has summarily eclipsed "Guitar Hero" as the genre's gold standard -- understandable, considering the concept is basically "Guitar Hero" meets Percussion Hero meets Vocals Hero meets Bass Hero.

Thump, thump, thump. No one plans to wake up with a pounding head, but we all know that it happens. Maybe you had a winning streak playing pong or overindulged at a 'tails event. Or maybe it was just another Monday night.

As I was trapped on campus over turkey break with nothing to my name but a poorly equipped, post-crash computer, one can of candied bitterness and a severely out-of-date PlayStation 2 that whirs and spits dust every time a disk is inserted, I realized from what source my holiday cheer is derived. Apparently, my version of happiness is an outlet, lots of cash to spend and a noncommittal connection to others via screen. Clearly, I'm referring here to seventh-generation gaming consoles PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii, three contraptions we jaded, pre-finals eggheads should investigate so as to momentarily forget about PowerPoints and PDFs.

Dartmouth students come from all over the country (and the world). They come in with their own loyalties, far from many of their friends and family. Though they are far from home, many students at Dartmouth like to keep in contact with what they left behind. One way to do that is by continuing their hometown obsessions.

The start-of-term honeymoon is over, and campus is back to its usual bickering. Loving the Greek system, hating the Greek system, arguing about the college mascot. Alex Howe, wandering around outside Food Court, glancing maniacally in the direction of TDX and sharpening a mighty bundle of #2 pencils.

Before we get down to business, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Maggie, I'm from the state of Minnesota, and I like sandwiches and brushing my teeth.

It was the tenth installment of Dartcon Gaming Weekend, the College's only (un)official holiday honoring the full gamut of game recreation and the people who love it. This term's convention was a hearty source of post-midterms/pre-finals entertainment that saw a considerable turnout, with curious visitors dropping by in the wee hours of the morning to watch movies, enjoy refreshments, crumble to monopolizing topspins at Nintendo "Wi Tennis" and of course, show off their "Guitar Hero" skills (or lack thereof.)

Set in 2047, the story takes place on an Earth devastated by a mysterious, self-replicating crystalline substance called Tiberium. Though it originated in Italy, this glowing green material has spread across the planet - consuming all natural resources it touches and wreaking havoc on the ecosystem.

A study co-written by Thayer School of Engineering professor Richard Greenwald was used as evidence in New York City's recent decision to disallow the use of metal bats at high school baseball games. The ban, which the City Council passed last month over a veto by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, was supported by those claiming that the higher swing speeds and increased flexibility of metal bats result in dangerous ball trajectories. Although his 2002 study did show that the metal bats performed better and resulted in faster moving balls, Greenwald told the Washington Post that more research on the issue is needed to prove that the bats pose a safety risk. Greenwald currently also serves as the executive director of the National Institute for Sports Science and Safety.

"Our first event qualifies for course credit at Dartmouth College: trick pouring," Duffman announced at the Duff Beer bartending competition on "The Simpsons." Perpetuating the College's stereotype for being soaked in hops and malt, this reference offers another reminder of Dartmouth's reputation among Ivy rivals.

You guys have no idea how lucky you are. This week's column was dangerously close to never being written. There I was, barely a week into my senior spring, and I was already battling a severe case of senioritis. Making it to class was out of the question. Simply getting out of bed was a chore. My fingers hardly had the strength to hold the Xbox 360 controller as I cut down lambent wretches with my chainsaw, splattering blood and goo onto my Gears of War screen. And just as I was dialing EBA's at two in the afternoon to order lunch because I was too lazy to walk to the Hop, I was blitzed by one of the four Dartmouth students who actually read Dave Glovsky '08's weekly column in The D, "The Glove."
