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."

Brothers Fouad ElNaggar '98 and Omar ElNaggar '07, along with Lucius Alexander '07, Jeremy Spurr '99 and David Aronchick '96, created the sound bite database Entertonement where users can share and download sound bites to their cell phones or for use on their web page. The site contains a library of more than 100,000 "tonez," excerpts from movies, television shows, advertisements, sports, games and American history -- virtually every genre except music.

Dr. James Weinstein, an orthopedic surgeon at Dartmouth Medical School, was featured Thursday in a New York Times fitness article, "When It's O.K. to Run Hurt." The article focused on the recovery methods and advice physicians offer to patients with sports-related injuries. In the past, it was advised that resting was the best way to heal a sports injury but such advice is said to be outdated and many times can even prolong the recovery process if the injury is not too severe. A person recovering from a sports injury should exercise at a slower level or try different types of exercise like cross-training. Weinstein recommends his patients take an anti-inflammatory pill like aspirin before they exercise and ice the spot before and after working out, though advice differs from physician to physician.

Starting quarterback Liam O'Hagan was sidelined early in the season, and backup Chris Pizzotti stepped in to carry the Crimson's reins. Pizzotti powered the Crimson to a 5-0 start behind solid numbers. He completed 61 of 115 passes (a 53.0 completion percentage) for 904 yards, four interceptions and five touchdowns. He threw for an average of 180.8 yards-per-game. Most important of all was his flawless record.

We love steroids. In fact, they are the greatest thing to happen to sports since the Mets won the World Series in 1986! Got your attention now?

This is not a letter of equality, this is a continuation of the battle of the sexes. It is an article pointing out the complete lack of support that men receive on campus. My writing stems from a poster I ripped off the wall on the third floor of Collis, entitled "10 Things Men Can Do to Prevent Gender Violence." It details 10 things that men can do to help women on campus, including (point 10) "Try hard to understand how your own attitudes and actions might inadvertently perpetuate sexism and violence," or, my personal favorite, (point one) "View men not only as perpetrators or possible offenders, but as empowered bystanders who can confront abusive peers."

Many of Dartmouth's athletic programs are traditionally highly successful. Of the athletes in the Winter Olympics who hail from Ivy League institutions, half attended Dartmouth. Some of these athletes, especially those who participate in endurance sports like distance running or swimming, remove themselves from the boozy Hanover partying culture. They drop an aspect of their social lives in order to focus more completely on their athletic pursuits. While "going dry," as sports-related prohibitions are often referred to, might help people shave seconds off of their times, quitting drinking for a time is often met with disappointment from non-athlete friends.

Here are some lies about the Dartmouth Bubble: it's a microcosm of the real world; it's the natural result of being out in the middle of nowhere; it is one of many bubbles in God's champagne; it's an optical illusion caused by refraction of a thinning, viscous and soapy membrane.

Sadly or not so sadly, it's my last column this term. I've had some interesting requests. I was asked to write more as a horse. I was asked to highlight the positive side of steroid use. I was even asked to discuss the reasons a woodpecker pecks trees (if you're curious, they do it to "echo-locate" insects). But undoubtedly, the most valuable request came from a friend who asked why I didn't write about "something, you know, like better."

In December 2000, Dartmouth Dean of Admissions Karl Furstenberg sent a now-well-publicized letter to Swarthmore College President Alfred Bloom congratulating Bloom for cutting Swarthmore's varsity football program and expressing the opinion that "football, and the culture that surrounds it, is antithetical to the academic mission of colleges such as ours."
