Do you remember the soccer player who accidentally scored for the other team during the last World Cup? Later I remember reading an article how he was shot down by an overzealous fan. These days I can sympathize with what that soccer player must have felt like after returning to his own country and finding people screaming for your blood.
I've heard it said many times that this has been a "quiet" summer. While I personally take exception to that, I think it is true in many ways. Quiet has a nebulous definition, so I'll leave it to you to define it as you wish ... for me, though, I use quiet to mean without big policy changes or protests or ruckuses. If that is what's meant by a quiet summer, then I say, yeah we had a quiet summer.
The Student Assembly plans to invite the entire Dartmouth community to its first Fall term meeting, Student Assembly president Josh Green said.
Although there were no major incidents of crime at the College this summer, many minor incidents -- especially vandalism and bike theft -- kept Safety and Security officers busy, according to Crime Prevention Officer Rebel Roberts.
Although short of being fully recognized as the College mascot, the Moose has been embraced by the Dartmouth Athletic department as official "fan entertainment."
Seventeen Hanover residents are appealing what they claim to be an unjust misinterpretation of the zoning ordinance by the zoning board in favor of the College.
In many ways, "Blade" marks the end of this incredibly long and mediocre summer movie season. Starting way back in May, Hollywood has hit us with a seemingly unending barrage of mindless entertainment (with a few exceptions), including everything from asteroids to zipper incidents. Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff and New Line Cinema are hoping that one more actioner won't be too much for American stomachs. Surprisingly, they may be right.
INDIANAPOLIS -- One of the Big Green's former football superstars, safety Lloyd Lee '98, is already making contributions to his new team. Lee intercepted a pass in the San Diego Chargers' overwhelming preseason victory against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night.
Okay, how many of you had 99s tell you that the summer is a very chill time, because professors understand that it is summer and therefore assign less work? I heard this from lots of people, but unfortunately I neglected to ask them what classes they were taking. I can tell you one thing: they weren't taking any of the classes that I'm currently enrolled in. Oh well. I'm really glad that this is the first term I've ever had three end of term papers -- and three finals/exams. It's made these last two weeks so enjoyable. Oh, and I also did two in-class presentations, but who's counting?
The resumes of three members of the Class of 2000 will be affected by the results of a simple electronic-mail ballot on Tuesday.
Relief may be on the way for students lost in the fog of "major confusion."
Most people wouldn't describe their college application process as simply as Mae Jemison described applying to become an astronaut:
Nearly a year after his near-fatal accident on Interstate 89, Adam Dansiger '00 is continuing to defy the doctors who, in the hours after he was thrown from his sports utility vehicle, predicted he would not survive -- let alone recover from -- his injuries.
"I Know This Much Is True," Wally Lamb's first attempt in the shadow of his bestselling debut novel "She's Come Undone," is a weighty book -- both in subject matter and sheer volume -- that tries hard to fill the shoes of its praised predecessor, but ultimately falls short.
While most of us here for the summer are spending our days relaxing on the Green, eating at the Hop or studying in the reserves, a few Dartmouth students are experiencing the professional world of the opera. Not in New York, London or Paris, but right next door in Lebanon, NH. Together with Opera North, these Dartmouth students are participating in the productions of Verdi's "Rigoletto" and Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance" through the Young Artist Program.
I didn't want to write about Clinton. I don't like writing articles about the news of the week, especially when it's gossipy scandalous stuff. But, Tuesday changed all that. That afternoon I got a blitz from my dorm cluster saying "come watch Clinton at ten. Snacks will be provided." I walked into the TV room at ten and saw about 30 people eating ice cream cones, watching the pre-season football game, and waiting eagerly for the real entertainment to begin. It was at that moment that I realized how utterly ridiculous and pathetic this whole thing is.
You're sitting in your room in the River, seemingly miles from civilization, and want to check out the social scene on the Green.
More than 600 iMac Apple computers are expected to arrive today -- a week after Apple's promised delivery date, according to Associate Director of Consulting for Computing Services Randy Spydell.
Students scurrying to pick up their research papers before deadlines have discovered there is more to reaching Kiewit Computation Center than walking down Main Street.
