In an intense and bold performance of one of ancient Greece's supreme myths of terrible desire, (mostly) '03 cast succeeds in performing that most mundane yet exotic and tragic of dances, that of too much love in all the wrong places.
The game of baseball has been repeatedly berated by yours truly for the various problems that allow a team such as the New York Yankees to effectively buy championships. The lack of revenue sharing and salary caps encourages excessive spending by wealthy teams.

Throw out everything you've been sent. Ignore everything you've been told. I'm the only advice-monger you need consult during your transition to college. Here, without further adieu, is the highly-praised, never-duplicated, much-anticipated "Top 20 Things You Should Know Upon Entering Dartmouth."
It's easy to cry. We all do it sometimes, and I admit to doing a fair share of sobbing, even while at this wonderful place in the mountains, this College on the Hill (as they say), this Dartmouth. For me, at least, the transition to college life was far from easy; for most people, I've learned, it takes at least a little getting used to.
When I visited Dartmouth as a prospective, my host lived in The River dorms. Needless to say, I did not come away with a very favorable impression of the rooming situation here. And I could not imagine having to walk past a graveyard each night to get to my room.
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 2005 were formerly polar bears.

As I tried to come up with a topic with which to enlighten incoming freshmen, having started writing my column about two hours before the deadline, I searched on thedartmouth.com (I suggest you frequent it over the summer, it will help excite and prepare you for Dartmouth) for the column I wrote for the Freshman Issue last summer to give myself some ideas, or, should the need arise, repeat myself completely. What I found (and what you will find should you be bored enough to look) was a column dripping with excessive sentimentality, self-reflection and praise of Dartmouth to the point that, in retrospect, I seemed about as sycophantic as Smithers is to Mr. Burns.
As a freshman, I'm sure you have many preconceived notions about Dartmouth. No, I'm not about to tell you to go into everything with a completely open mind. Although in an ideal world, this would be the way to do things, in the real world you need a starting point. I'll do you a favor and say it like it is, so you can replace your current preconceived notions with something that will be a little bit more useful and relevant, something that will help you jumpstart your Dartmouth career.
Dartmouth offers a wide variety of dorm options, from the luxurious to the cramped. Organized in clusters, these dorms can be the defining factor in how much you study, where you do it, and more.
