Daveheads, you can rest easy. Dave Matthews' first solo album "Some Devil" isn't all the doom and gloom it's being built up to be. If you're expecting Peter, Paul and Mary, then don't buy the album; it's not exactly Disney soundtrack material. However, "Some Devil" is by no means depressing; the album is a mix of energetic, thoughtful and emotional raw harmony.
About two weeks ago, a good friend of mine, who hails from Virginia and who is as avid a North Carolina Tar Heel fan as I know, was discussing the addition of Miami-Florida and Virginia Tech to the Atlantic Coast Conference. He was not pleased with the additions, but he promised to me, a Boston boy, that, "Boston College will never join the ACC." I responded with: "It'll happen, and it'll happen within a couple weeks." For once, my sports braggadocio paid off. BC joined up over this past weekend.

When "Kill Bill" starts, a weird energy runs through the audience, maybe due to the discomfiting effects of the opening song, "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)," coupled with the harsh breathing of someone in pain. The image on screen is that of a battered woman, one eye swollen shut, her lip bleeding, and a pleading and terrified expression on her face.
Along with a beautiful cornucopia of colorful flora scattered across the ground, this fall has brought some of the best sailing action on the water Dartmouth has ever seen. From the University of Vermont down to Harvard this weekend, the sailors raced in big regattas with very successful results.
In her Oct. 3 article "PR Interns Just Want to Have Fun?" Sarah Maxell paints a rather depressing picture of an entertainment industry internship gone horribly awry. While I do not intend to disqualify her feelings I do think that she, and many other Dartmouth students, fail to see the intrinsic benefit of starting at the proverbial bottom of a profession. Call me old-fashioned, but I find that character development is most appreciated and most successful when one experiences hardship and is offered the challenge to rise above it. There is a disconcerting tendency amongst many of my peers to embrace an attitude that demands recognition immediately, as if somehow we as Dartmouth students are entitled to a pre-determined level of success without even earning it. I would like to offer my summer internship experience as an alternative perspective on the business that is show and hopefully an example of the importance of "earning one's stripes."
