Summer term Montgomery Fellow Manning Marable urged educators to infuse diversity as a main framework of higher education in a discussion at the Tucker Foundation lounge Tuesday evening.
With the success of "Scream" and its follow-up, "Scream 2," it seems like all of Hollywood is attempting to capitalize with copycat youthful funny horror flicks. Who better to make some dough on this gore bonanza than the original teen slashing franchise, "Halloween." It was the ultimate horror success, filmed for a meager $325,000 and grossing over $45 million dollars. It put John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis on the map and received virtually universal acclaim.
The College did not have to look too far to find someone to fill in for former Dean of the College Lee Pelton when he left Dartmouth last month to assume the presidency at Willamette University in Oregon.

We would all like to believe that Ken Larson's "Rent" simply exploded out of the young composer's mind onto the stage, capturing an entire generation's love, angst and dreams in one felt swoop. But the truth is Larson's rock opera was merely a rough draft when he handed it over to producers, and it would endure four years of workshopping, reworking and editing before it finally hit the stage.
Next fall I am participating in a transfer program at the University of Edinburgh, but it is not one affiliated with Dartmouth. The other day, I got a phone call from my program informing me I was missing a needed form and asking to send it in as soon as possible. I apologized and told them I would send it that day. They replied that it was no problem and then asked if I had any questions they could help me with. In addition, this was not the first deadline I had missed but the third. Each time, I simply got a phone call, or a letter informing me about what I was missing and politely asking me to send it in. There was no screaming, yelling, crying, fining or ruining of my life. I was amazed. After two years at Dartmouth, I had forgotten that administrative people could be nice. At first, I rationalized their behavior by the fact I was paying them $9,000 for my term at Edinburgh, but then I remembered that I'm paying well over $100,000 for my years at Dartmouth.

Everybody knows the story. It begins Once Upon A Time and involves a beautiful young girl who should be a princess but isn't. Instead, she is treated cruelly by her stepmother and nasty stepsisters and locked in the attic and not allowed to go to the ball (a slightly mythical version of prom night). A fairy godmother (always handy to have if you are a beautiful yet struggling young girl who plans to get herself locked in the attic the night of the royal prom) feels badly for the maiden and supplies her with enough magic and glitter on her dress to attend the ball and cause the prince to fall madly in love.
I was sitting in my engineering class and my teacher asked who were the budding journalists in the class. Although I never really thought of myself as a journalist, I was tempted to raise my hand. I didn't, and it turned out to be the right choice. All of a sudden, he started to rant about the evils of media and its manipulative and money-grubbing ways. I wanted to remind him of Woodward and Bernstein and other journalists who I've looked up to but I really couldn't blame the guy. These days people trust journalists as much as politicians.
At first glance, Dartmouth Outing Club President Ben Berk '00 seems like any other College student. His distinguishing feature is the wispy blond beard he has been cultivating since the beginning of this term.

Former punk rockers yet never quite true rappers, the Beastie Boys have solidified their position as the Merry Pranksters of the hip-hop world with the release of their fifth and latest album, "Hello Nasty." From the opening line -- "50 cups of coffee and you know it's on, I move the crowd like the break of break of dawn" -- it becomes apparent that these are the same Beastie Boys we grew up listening to. At the same time, there is a certain maturity or musical diversification that comes out in the album.
