Well, good news -- "The BlabberForce" is off to a roaring start. They've recruited some prominent figureheads at Parkhurst, including President Wright and Dean Larimore. In their effort to perk up Dartmouth's image, they've composed a delightful new slogan: "We cannot be good for good sake. We must tell people how good we are." That's rich. They've also unveiled a new logo (you could even call it a Brand). It depicts a ghoulish pair of lips with a flaccid tongue flopping out, much like the Rolling Stones icon. But get this -- the tongue is pierced with a ring in the shape of a "D." Fine work, guys: you'll be name-dropping again in no time.

Confused with the California recall? Yeah, things are pretty dicey, but more than that, ever since Arnold Schwarzenegger entered the California gubernatorial race, weird things have been happening. It's been raining more, the Red Sox are still in the race, Libya took full blame for the 1988 Lockerbee Pan-Am attacks, the lights went out (the blackout didn't affect Hanover, another example that we live "in da bubble"), someone even told me that they saw a Chi Gam smiling for once. This goes to show you that Arnold's decision to run is affecting more than your run-of-the-mill California Democrat. Arnold's decision got me thinking not only "how good a governor would he be?" but "who else should have run?" and "what would happen if they did?"

Editor's Note: This is the second in an occasional series chronicling the lives of Dartmouth alumni as they make it on their own.

Although only a handful of students were on this term to attend Student Assembly meetings, this summer's Assembly followed through on several projects it had conceived of quite some time ago, most of which will be implemented this Fall and will affect the entire student body.

A black bear has been spotted around campus on several occasions in the past few days, providing amusement and excitement to students, but causing nightmares for Safety and Security and the administration.

To high schoolers browsing through The Princeton Review's 2004 guide to the Best 351 Colleges, life at Dartmouth may seem nearly utopian.

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away (Somerville, Mass.) before J.Lo, before Winona, before that traumatic event we call "Gigli," there lived two young men on the brink of fame "Matt and Ben," Fringe theater's newest hit, is the story of two such men -- you may have heard of them -- Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. (Ring a bell?) While today, the faces of these overnight superstars are ubiquitous (People magazine just wrote a feature article because Ben decided to go to a strip club), not too long ago Matt and Ben were just your typical struggling actors trying to make their way in the world.

What do Mike Tyson and Kobe Bryant have in common? Hopefully nothing. The heir to Michael Jordan's throne is on trial for his life. Bryant faces four years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation for felony sexual assault, or rape of a 19-year-old female. The situation is potentially serious.

Perhaps you have asked yourself why two, parallel lengths of fence stand in the southwest corner of the Green. The answer is a matter of history and tradition. There was a time when the good residents of Hanover shared this plot of grass with the students of Dartmouth. Yes, wild farm animals once grazed freely on what is today our intensely fertilized playground.

If mass media counts as a barometer of public interest, we are sensationalists. We need to be entertained, and in this age, sensational or "breaking" news panders to that need. For this reason, the international media looks at India through a monochromatic kaleidoscope sprinkled with Hindu-Muslim conflicts. Enough violence to squeeze into your daily plate of world news. Sadly, no topic has received more glib coverage than communal conflict in India.

For a sum of approximately $1 per day, anyone -- from the passing skeptic to the impassioned believer -- can sponsor the brethren of New Hampshire's newest arrivals, Buddhist monks whose origins lie in Tibet.

For all the precipitation seen in recent weeks, Hanover might as well be notoriously dreary England or the Pacific Northwest this term, -- at least in the eyes of those who feel cheated out of the fun in the sun they had expected for sophomore summer.

Despite sincere intentions, colleges and universities may not use federal anti-harassment regulations to squelch free speech, the U.S. Education Department announced recently in a strongly-worded message to schools nationwide.

Following in the footsteps of such journalistic luminaries as Mike Wallace, Barbara Walters and Ed Bradley, The Dartmouth's Mark Sweeney catches up with the big names on campus and asks the questions that others have too much professionalism or integrity to ask. Today, Sweeney visits again with Adam White '05 for his innovative and informative social commentary.

There has been a lot of recent press and discussion concerning the Sexual Assault Awareness and Consent Campaign initiated by a group of students intent on educating the Class of 2005 about issues of consent. Frankly, my reaction to both The Dartmouth's Summer Editorial Board's July 25 response and the "Roomies" cartoon of July 29 by Kevin Pedersen on this topic was instinctively negative. Pedersen's comic, of course, was the more shocking of the two, and my objections to his work are probably clear. To think that anyone on this campus could have viewed the strip as anything but insensitive and offensive is beyond my comprehension.

What are the top three academic programs at Dartmouth? I had trouble answering the same question when a senior administrator posed it. "Kabir, have you seen the list?" he asked. "List? What List?" I said. "We don't publish a list because we don't want to isolate other departments." I don't see anything wrong with this position -- Dartmouth is known for being an egalitarian place. Instead of having an academic program ranked in the top three in the country, we prefer to have all our programs ranked in the top 50. This being the case, Dartmouth could still do an ounce more in celebrating its excellence. It could do more in rewarding and affirming those things that make this place so special. That's our ultimate story: excellence.

For at least one esteemed name in the worldwide field of Jewish studies, religion and raciness may have surprisingly close historical ties.
