Since freshman fall, members of the Class of 2002 have heard stories and College rhetoric about the D-plan feature that receives the most hype -- sophomore summer.
On a campus with 13 fraternities, only six sororities and a long history of being a "bastion" of male supremacy, one might think twice before using "Dartmouth" and "antimale" in the same sentence.
A 22-foot inflatable slide, a foam dance and a multathalon will be just a few of the activities at this weekend's Summer Carnival -- an annual event organized by the Programming Board.
A recent article in Men's Health Magazine suggested that Dartmouth is one of the worst colleges for men. This article has resparked interest in the debate about gender equity on the campus.
Matchbox Twenty has a lot to live up to, having released their sophomore effort behind the 10 million record selling "Yourself of Someone Like You."
The lack of 'strength in numbers' does not seem to faze Dartmouth's fencing team, which has been flailing its foils to the fullest despite limited human resources.
I have found a very moving force in the world, in my life. And for the first time ever, I feel the need to convert others to my way of thinking, to reverse the often-innate repulsion of country music that most of you probably hold and convince you to take a chance on the Dixie Chicks.
Much to the amusement of my family and friends, I recently became a legal resident of New Hampshire. I told people that it was for car insurance reasons, but in truth, Dartmouth's attempt to brainwash us by playing the alma mater twice a day finally convinced me that I wanted to be a legitimate part of the granite of New Hampshire. (Have you ever noticed that the Baker Bells hit about 3 notes in most songs they play, but can churn out both verses of the alma mater with orchestral-type perfection? But that's a different column.)
With each passing day, the construction of the four-level College-owned shopping and office building next to Ben and Jerry's nears its completion.
PHILADELPHIA -- With a tone of great fanfare and showmanship, the opening night of the 2000 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia unveiled a "newer, kinder" Republican party. The second night focused more on military and foreign policy issues and featured speeches by American war heroes.
After $6.2 million worth of construction, the Dartmouth community can look forward to two new athletic facilities for the upcoming academic year -- an extensively refurbished skiway and perhaps the world's first coed rugby house.
As of yesterday, three suspect bird carcases had been sent to New Hampshire's public health department to be tested for West Nile encephalitis, according to Hanover Police Chief Nick Giaccone.
Interested in the arts? In the first week you're here, Dartmouth will try to convince you that the college has endless resource to offer the arts-inclined student.
Welcome to college, folks. Everything you need to know about pursuing a degree in higher education will be blitzed to you, at least 25 times a term, by well-meaning people who haven't yet figured out that everyone has read those forwards that tell you why college is like kindergarten, that teach you how to convince your roommate you're a walking psychopath and that remind you that a dorm is a real-life manifestation of everything Dante wrote about.
Before I came to the rolling green hills of New Hampshire, I was like any other incoming freshman -- not of age, anxious and, of course, spectacular in bed. Although the bed thing hasn't changed (at least that's what Maxim has led me to believe), the other two have. Dartmouth has been the greatest journey of my life thus far. Here, you'll find yourself in ways you've never even dreamed of.
If you'd asked me two years ago whether I would join a sorority in college, I probably would have given you the standard, skeptical, "Me? In a sorority? Never." The words "Greek system" conjured up images of "Animal House" and "Revenge of the Nerds": Barbie doll sorority girls sponsoring kissing booths while Zeus-like males paraded around as so-called drunken frat boys.
It was so appropriate that I was blitzed this summer and asked to write a column for the freshman issue of The D. First, of course, is the fact that it was a blitz. You all know about the superhuman entity of blitz at this point; no doubt a few of you have ingeniously discovered how to download and use it already. I swore to myself the first day of my freshman year that I would not succumb to blitz, that I would be man enough to refrain from e-mailing people who live down the hall. Five minutes later I forgot what a phone was and could not pry my fingers from the keyboard. Even the strongest among you should not underestimate blitz's addictiveness.
Welcome to the rest of your life.
Some Dartmouth students say that New Hampshire winters are nothing compared to those in Michigan and Minnesota and Maine. Some Dartmouth students walk around in shorts and flip flops in February. Some Dartmouth students also develop frostbite and hypothermia. Yes, you will find that a good portion of the members of the Class of 2004 were formerly polar bears. (Really intelligent, sensitive polar bears with a "variety of backgrounds, talents, and interests represented," though.)
