Some of the best tree"climbers in the world have signed their names in support of preserving the tree that until a few days ago held Dartmouth's latest -- and by some accounts, greatest -- rope swing.
It has all the qualities of a great French movie: arguably gratuitous nudity, beautiful countrysides and an ending that will leave you curiously nonplussed for days after.
Over 10,000 spectators packed the stands for the 50th Annual Maple Sugar Shrine Bowl on Saturday at Memorial Field. The sun came out and the clouds took a break from the constant rain to make for a beautiful day. Also, after not seeing football for almost six months, it was nice for the fans to see the pigskin tossed around again.
On September 8, the Harvey Milk High School in New York City will begin educating 100 solely gay, bisexual, and transgender students who find the other city public schools too hostile. The school is accredited, the recipient of public funds, colossally wrong-headed and tolerated by a government willing to pander for political capital with taxpayer money in spite of the best interests of society. The curious notion that public schools should be for the public has gone down the toliet.
I remember the first time that I climbed the slippery wooden ladder. I stood up there on that platform with quaking legs and a death grip on the rope. I had been taken to the rope swing by a friend who had helped build it. At the beginning it was still a secret. The loss of the old rope swing that once perched below the bridge still loomed in our minds. A section of that tree still sits on the Ledyard porch as a reminder of what was once a part of summer at Dartmouth. You didn't talk about the rope swing in front of others that you didn't know. You didn't blitz out directions. The first rule of the rope swing was that you didn't talk about the rope swing.
For a span of a few hours, Dartmouth sorority members, professors and administrators were bound by one message: female solidarity.
Harvard's daily, student-run paper, The Crimson, sued Harvard and its police department last Tuesday for access to police records that Harvard University Police Department have always kept secret.
It looks as though the end of the long awaited decision for a new College mascot is in sight, according to the proceedings of last night's Student Assembly meeting.
For the third time in three years, authorities have decided to cut down the rope swing hanging over the Connecticut River. The move was prompted by the College's desire to reduce insurance liability risks and prevent injuries.
The Exploding Hearts' first and only full-length album to date consists of 10 near-perfect pieces of power pop. "Guitar Romantic" is the most fun album of the summer, rivaled only by The New Pornographers' new LP. This album should be your soundtrack to days spent driving around with nothing to do, and nights spent on the porch drinking cheap beer with your buddies.
Whenever an adaptation of a popular novel hits theaters, the first question on the mind of the audience is typically, "Is the movie as good as the book?" This question is especially relevant with "Seabiscuit," as Laura Hillenbrand's novel -- on which the film is based -- was a massive success just two years ago.
With the Major League Baseball season winding down, and the passing of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, several contenders made bold moves to improve their clubs for the stretch run, while others decided to stand pat, citing fiscal constraints and a general lack of talent available with so many teams in the thick of the wild card race. The following is a run-down of the winners and losers from last week's flurry of activity.
The most important steps in moving forward in any context are to be aware of your surroundings and to embrace and motivate change. Let's put this idea in more applicable terms. Perhaps it is human nature to fear change, but the truth is Dartmouth is changing. In reading the past articles on Dartmouth branding, I have held reservations as to the direct intent of its purpose. An image-focused brand was not the reason I dropped my Dartmouth application in the mail two years ago, nor will it be the reason I will give back to the school post graduation. However, after reading Joe Rago's op-ed "Dear Dean Furstenberg" (July 30, 2003), I see a new interpretation to the interesting dialogue that has ensued.
Step into this race and I will consume you--the fires of hell will scorch you years before they torch Ashcroft's rotting carcass, and I'll sit there with my now finally legal 40 of Olde English watching." ("Done With Nader," July, 29 2003)
Its name sounds like the kind of sarcastic epithet critics might concoct. But members of the Blabberforce, an informal collection of students and administrators intent on creating a more definable image for Dartmouth, describe their efforts with the sincerity and idealism that they say only befits a school this impressive.
The myths have been perpetuated throughout the years by students, residents and outsiders alike: Hanover doesn't allow chain stores within its limits. Rather, the few that made it into this wealthy town of 11,000 were granted special exemptions.
For someone who has been writing poetry since she was in third grade and has a novel due for release in a few months, Vyshali Manivannan '05 is shockingly self-deprecatory.
For a price of $4 million, Dartmouth College purchased 53 acres of land on Mount Support Road in Lebanon near Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center this past Friday.
After making a splash with outrageous sexual exploits in 1999's "American Pie," Universal Pictures and screenwriter Adam Herz changed their recipe for 2001's "American Pie 2." The sexual comedy was certainly present, but it took a backseat to the growing romance between band-geek-who-never-joined-the-band Jim Levinstein (Jason Biggs) and flute-playing nymphomaniac Michelle Flaherty (Alyson Hannigan). With Jim and Michelle set to tie the knot in 'American Wedding,' the romance takes center stage, but the hard-hitting sexual comedy that made the first "American Pie" a hit makes a roaring comeback to make "American Wedding" a thoroughly enjoyable movie.
