When I first learned that Tupac Shakur had been shot to death in a drive-by shooting in September of 1996, my immediate reaction was one of shock, terror and disappointment: "What kind of name is Tupac?" I wondered. More than seven years later, few rappers, with the possible exception of this one kid from my high school who claimed to be the rapping representative of the Jewish upper-middle class, have had less of an effect on me than Tupac. And yet, I stay up into the dark and troublesome hours of the night, just contemplating how a man who died over seven years ago (nearly 50 dog years) can continue to make really bad new music.

A week ago, I opened up my local newspaper's sports section and stumbled upon an article discussing the cancellation of a local high school's football team. Having been a member of a high school football team that teetered on the brink of collapse, I perused the article with great care. I expected a "run of the mill" story about a team struggling with low numbers, poor coaching or, at worst, drug use. However as I continued, the article revealed the horrific truth behind the cancellation. Several older football players sexually assaulted younger players during a heinous hazing rite at a summer football camp. When the story broke, the school board immediately cancelled the team's season. The crime was revolting. The community's response to it was even more nauseating.

Prolonged budget woes and energy crises aside, Californians can count on at least one melodrama to reach conclusion with today's recall vote. But according to several Dartmouth professors, residents shouldn't hope for quick salvation.

Modesty is a virtue. While nearly everyone is familiar with this platitude, Jonathan Eisenman '03 believes that it has been forgotten by some members of the Dartmouth community. Thus, he recently began to circulate a petition to protest the relatively new campus organization BuzzFlood, formerly known as BlabberForce.

Last Friday, the Moore Theater was graced with "Lend Me Your Eyes," the latest offering from Brazil's Quasar Dance Company and the troupe's first performance at the Hopkins Center. Despite being a visual treat for Dartmouth's dance fans, the show ultimately fails to deliver a coherent message.

It happens every year. The winter drags on, snow piles up, the wind whips down from the Arctic, and it seems that February will never end. But in my heart, I'm wearing shorts, the sky is clear and the breeze is warm. This morning on TV, I saw a clip of a pale Johnny Damon, swinging his bat languidly in the Florida sun, laughing behind his sunglasses as he shagged flies in the outfield. Baseball is back.

We've been here for less than a month, and my roommate and I have already had a number of major fights. We trade insults and jibes, mocking each other relentlessly to anyone who will listen. It's gotten so bad that the third girl in our triple has had to break it up a few times. But our fights are not about who is hogging the bathroom or which one of us gets to hook up with the cute boy from biology class. No, we fight about much more serious matters. Laura has the misfortune of being from Boston, and I am a die-hard Yankees fan.

The California recall processes, set to go to a vote tomorrow, has stirred an outpouring of emotion that rivals the acrimony of Election 2000 and the clash over the second Iraqi war. At Dartmouth College, physical distance has not dampened the opinions of native Californians.

While conservative commentators recently pressured California gubernatorial candidate Cruz Bustamante to distance himself from the Chicano advocacy group Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or MEChA, the head of the organization's Dartmouth chapter supported Bustamante's stance and defended the aims and purpose of the group.

After a six-game unbeaten streak to open the season that earned Dartmouth a top-25 ranking, the Wildcats of the University of New Hampshire handed the Big Green its first defeat of the season on Wednesday night in Durham. Goals by UNH senior Josh Hareld and junior Tyler Jackson were enough to secure a 2-1 win for the Wildcats, even though Mark Limpert '07 had equalized for the Big Green.

Dartmouth students know that this time of year is special for more reasons than just the impending doom of sub-zero temperatures. As our campus is littered with bumper stickers, poster boards and buttons that support the several Democratic Presidential candidates, we all know that we can be part of one of the most exciting events to take place here in years; the New Hampshire Democratic Presidential primary.

My mom always chides me for not reading the newspaper enough, which is ironic because I write for one. So I decided to subscribe to "The New York Times," take a glance at current events, and hopefully regain the love of my mother. Low and behold, there are many interesting news stories circulating our nation. For starters: California's recall seems to be taking political accountability to a new extreme, a hazardous Iraqi war is draining our defense department, the Democratic primaries are redefining pointless bickering and joblessness is at a 70-year high.

Dot com, dot gone. The internet was once the talk of the town, B2B this, and e-commerce that. It was a grand story -- millions of people learning new technologies, "making" money, but there wasn't a fairy tale ending: most left the internet bubble jobless and even hopeless. But for many more, the internet story has yet to be told for the very reason that there is nobody to tell it. Under-served rural and inner city communities are hungry for the internet and other communicative technologies, but with little incentive to offer broadband to unprofitable communities, broadband corporations have ignored the have-nots. Known as the "last mile" problem, connecting underserved communities is important to the economic growth of our country. Solving this problem with a dash of government help could be the long term spark to a revitalized, tech-propelled economy.
