In "Anything Else," Woody Allen stars as David Dobel, a much older mentor to a young and impressionable Jerry Falk, played by Jason Biggs. As the lights dim, the audience is ushered into the latest Allen production by the sound of retro music. Also typical of the writer and director's films, the movie is set in Manhattan.
The art of Japanese puppetry appears like nothing else in Western culture. It reinforces the art of audience interpretation, with limited visual clues to the actual details of events. Instead, music and background detail is meant to serve the atmosphere.
Dartmouth remained the only unbeaten Ivy League team this season, bringing its record to 3-0-2 after a golden goal win in the second overtime against Vermont yesterday. Mark Limpert '07 and Mike Vidmar '03 scored a goal each to give Dartmouth the win after Vermont had gone up in the first half.
In the first volleyball match ever to be broadcast on radio in New Hampshire, the Big Green women's volleyball team (5-3, 0-0 Ivy) only came up short on the scoreboard.
So I've been having this conversation with a lot of people recently. I'm not even sure why -- maybe we're just getting old? Or maybe this hot weather is making us collectively lose our minds? Whatever the reason might be, the truth is that a lot of my friends and I have been talking about love and dating. At Dartmouth. And the more you think about it, the more you realize that the situation is pretty grim. But I've always been a fan of silver linings, and I honestly believe there is hope for us still.
Tension filled the air when I went home to Michigan for the summer. Students, policy makers and the academic establishment were all strained to the breaking point, waiting for something to pop. At the end of June, something did: the Supreme Court handed down a split decision on the use of racial preferences at the University of Michigan. The immediate stalemate over, both the University and its critics tried to claim victory while sifting through the legal debris. But by the time I left Michigan to return to Dartmouth, the pressure was building again, and both sides were rearming. After another compromise verdict from the Supreme Court on race in the academy, it won't be long before the battle over preferences erupts again.

Supplanting fears that viruses would infect Dartmouth's network this term, a Windows XP laptop configuration causing an internet connection failure around campus has instead become the first major network problem of the year.
Innovative internet phones offered to incoming Dartmouth freshmen garnered national attention this week, but many Dartmouth students, including freshmen, remain unaware of the new technology that would allow them to use their computers as telephones free of charge.
It was free, it was easy, and its name made students feel helpful. But in an era of tightening budgets and rapidly increasing usage, College administrators say Greenprint is no longer green, and, effective this term, it's also not entirely free.
Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" is simply a beautiful film. It stirs the heart, awakens the soul, and haunts you long after the closing images have faded. This is one of those movies where you leave the theater stunned silent by what just transpired. Many films are equally admirable, but few movies, ever, have filled me with the same sense of joy.
The Dartmouth men's hockey team has been predicted to finish third in the ECAC in both the annual media and coaches' preseason polls. The polls were announced on Monday at the conference's media day, held at the Pepsi Arena in Albany, N.Y.
In preparing to make a run for the NCAA Tournament, testing your skills against the best teams in the country is a valuable experience. However, the Big Green women's soccer team has also found it a painful one, as Dartmouth entered yesterday's game against UNH at Chase Field on a five game losing streak that included defeats at the hands of Top 25 teams Stanford, Virginia, and Auburn.
Diversity has become the symbol of higher education. It is what prestigious institutions and businesses strive to achieve. The idea is ubiquitous, underlying hiring policies, admissions and law-making procedures. Diversity has become the goal of the 21st century, replacing a system that once mocked racial, ethnic and religious difference with piercing hatred and obdurate apathy.
We reached a new low a few years back, when some woman showed America that all you need to become a millionaire was a cup of boiling liquid and a crotch. That, and a greedy lawyer. Nearly all of us could qualify. Ridiculous lawsuits have cropped up ever since, and companies, it seems to me, have been struggling to cover themselves for some pretty inane contingencies. The lawsuits piss me off, but I have to admit, I'm a huge fan of the warning labels that have resulted
