The Dartmouth men's water polo team won its fourth Collegiate Water Polo Association New England Division Championship in six years last weekend. Defeating Williams 10-8 in the finals continued the Big Green's undefeated record in 2001 CWPA play. Yale placed third. The victory advances Dartmouth to the national championships November 9-11 at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
After a scoreless 111 minutes of play, Connecticut sophomore Jessica Gjertsen scored the lone goal of the game to lead the ninth-ranked Huskies to a 1-0 double-overtime win over Dartmouth at Chase Field yesterday afternoon.
The past six weeks have been something out of the sort of book you find in an airport departure lounge. A horrible attack on America. An evil billionaire bad guy hiding out in an exotic foreign locale. Everybody except George W. Bush panicking at the sight of white powder. But we're at war now, and the media is all over comparing Sept. 11 to Pearl Harbor and the present to World War II. Our grandparents are sitting back in their armchairs overdosing on schadenfreude as they sit around and discuss how much better things were in the old times:
I went to Boston on Sunday to buy a pumpkin. Well, that's not entirely true, but I did go to Boston, and I did come back with a pumpkin. It was one of those lucky things that happen without warning but fit perfectly into everything you're thinking about and doing.
Although the changes to immigration policy following the events of Sept. 11 will have a transparent effect on students' visa and immigration process, much of the optimism for easing of immigration law is gone, according to a panel that took place last night in the International House.
When Hanover welcomes the Olympic Torch later this year, the town will become part of a tradition dating back to the 1936 opening ceremonies in Berlin.
Richard Herron Woodwell '79 was destined for business success from an early age. As a sixth grader growing up in the Pennsylvania town of Ligonier, Woodwell -- who was an avid coin collector -- would often trade coins with the elderly owner of a local jewelry shop.
President Wright acknowledged yesterday at the Annual Meeting of General Faculty that the College's financial situation has "softened," but he said that the administration would not be abandoning its vision.
The College will move ahead with plans to develop the campus north of Maynard Street, but the construction of a Tuck Mall residence hall will likely be delayed indefinitely, President James Wright said in his annual address to the faculty yesterday.
Fun facts: the Samburu and Boran tribes of Kenya adhere to monotheistic religions. While some Samburu have been converted to Christianity, and some Boran to Islam, others observe traditional beliefs -- which still place faith in one God.
Do not ever let anyone tell you that Wynton Marsalis is not the greatest musician in our galaxy. Wynton is a trumpet player and jazz composer from the Marsalis family (of Ellis and Branford), leader of a big band and jazz septet, artistic director of New York City's Jazz at Lincoln Center and father of three. Many of those who heard him play last night at Spaulding Auditorium also believe him to be an extraterrestrial.
Four stands were placed in a random setup on the stage, when seemingly premature applause greeted cellist Dimitry Khrychev after intermission. Then, terrifically awkward screeching offstage started "Antiphonies" a 1968 composition by Sergey Slonimsky. The three other members of the Nevsky Quartet slowly wandered onto the stage, playing as they walked.
Hailing from somewhere in outer space, sci-fi surf rockers Man or Astroman? will play Dartmouth College for the first time tonight.
It is definitely getting cold. It gets cold back in Seattle, too, where I'm from. Not this cold, not near the coast, but if you head up toward the mountains just an hour away ... it gets cold. Out West, we have a way of dealing with the cold that doesn't seem too popular out here. We have figured out the best thing to do when it's cold. And it's time the East Coast caught on.
On Oct. 23, Dean Redman wrote a letter to all Coed Fraternity Sorority leaders outlining the future of the Greek system. The proposals are ambiguous and contradictory in nature, leaving significant issues unresolved. The administration should be pressed to define their goals more clearly and divulge their true intentions. I attempted to contact Mr. Redman for comments about his letter, but he was unavailable. One interesting tidbit from the letter is that it outlines a goal of inclusivity. This is not a word; the administration just made it up to suit its ends. Check the dictionary if you don't believe me. And while I think its meaning is plainly obvious, it occurs to me that everyday the parallels between our world and that of Mr. Orwell's "1984" grow stronger and stronger. What is so troubling about the ambiguity in the letter is that it leaves so much enforcement to the discretion of the same administration that has pledged to "end the Greek system as we know it." Vaguely worded principles are not the Greek student's friend, for their enforcement is not likely to be interpreted in a way beneficial to the student nor to his or her organization.

Free food was abundant at the second annual '02/'05 Revelations dinner -- perhaps a small part of the reason for the significant turnout at an event held for seniors and first year students in Alumni Hall last night.
A harsh year at the stock market caused the return on the College's endowment to fall by 0.4 percent last year and numbers for the first quarter of fiscal year 2002 show a drop of seven percent.
