Dartmouth football takes their traveling-road show to New York City this weekend to face Fordham in search of a 4-0 start to the season. After surviving a scare against Cornell, the Big Green hope to extend their nation-best unbeaten streak to 21 games against the Rams. Fordham brings a 2-3 record into the contest but have lost their last three games. The Rams were buried 45-14 last weekend by Brown despite leading 14-10 at halfitime.
My first week at Dartmouth, my friends and I decided to go try our luck on the fraternity scene that we had heard so much about. We bounced around from house to house because after all, variety is the spice of life. By the luck of the draw, one of my friends, a freshman member of the varsity golf team, and I decided that the two of us would go in alone and be the first to test the unknown waters. Our strategy: I would pose as his golf recruit. The logic behind this was that the brother at the door would automatically let us in, because who wants a recruit to have a bad time? Despite being armed with my old high school ID and insisting that if not let in, I was going to sign with Princeton the next day, it was an early and uneventful night. The brother wished me well in my college search and explained to me the all too familiar rule of no freshman in fraternities.
This weekend the Dartmouth women's soccer team will play host to Colgate University, the University of Buffalo, and Columbia University in the 2nd annual Umbro/Lipton Classic. Last year's contest was hosted by the men's soccer team, and this year it is the women's turn.
So here I was, talking to Career Services about the details of phone interviewing. You see, I have one of those coming up soon so I wanted to be set on what to expect for this type of interview. I was hardly prepared for what I was told; phone interviews are in some ways more difficult than in-person interviews because the candidate can't use their presence or body language to score points. I would have to pay much more attention to the tone of my voice, the smoothness of my responses, and the details of the interview format (speaker-phone vs. normal, many interviewers vs. one).
I decided to stay in Hanover for most of this past interim, a wise decision for anyone who is uniquely fond of eating at Taco Bell and who doesn't mind sneaking into the nearest dorm in order to take a comfortable shower. Predictably, after a short while I was bored out of my senses. I needed to go where the action was and late-night trips to Foodstop just weren't going to cut it. I had my sights zeroed in on a greater target: The Great White North. I was headed to Montreal.

Has "weekend excitement" become an oxymoron? Is the novelty of pong wearing off? Have you seen every movie at the Nugget twice? Does the EBAs delivery guy know your name by heart? Perhaps it's time for a change of scenery. Pack a bag, cram a few pals into the car and leave this bustling metropolis for the home of "College Fest Way More Weekend"-- Boston.

The Dartmouth field hockey team took second-place in the state of New Hampshire when they lost 2-1 in overtime to the University of New Hampshire yesterday afternoon at Chase Field. Even though the Wildcats are ranked No. 8 in the nation, the No. 19 Big Green controlled the match for most of the afternoon by dominating on the offensive side of the ball and very possibly should have come away with a victory or at least a tie against their in-state rivals.
To the Editor:
I have gazed into the heavens and seen no throne," said a Professor of Earth Science as he quoted a renowned astronomer. I am not particularly surprised. I as much expect to see a throne through a telescope as to see a giant turtle supporting the Earth. I don't believe such a throne to be visible through simple optics.
When I was in middle school we used to have a part of the day called silent student elective reading. This time of the day was equivalent to nap time in Kindergarten (or college) and I loved being able to relax with a favorite book of mine. I think in the fifth grade I was still interested in Judy Blume books, TigerEyes and Are You There God, It's Me Margaret?
I opened up this week's edition of The Beacon eager to see what it had to say about the fraternities on campus, particularly mine. What I found surprised and disturbed me more than a little bit.
