A misunderstanding over the pay rate for summer tour guides, coupled with the increased demands placed on tour guides this year, has lowered morale among some members of the program, admissions officers and students report.

In the last week and half, a massive reshuffling of student office space in Robinson Hall has affected nearly all of the student organizations housed there. The reshuffle in Robinson, which houses more undergraduate student organization space than any other place on campus, is the biggest in years. It has provided some organizations with much-needed space -- but also left many of them grumbling.

Once in a while, a motion picture comes along that is so bad, so God-awful, so horrendous and poorly-conceived that it is instantly entertaining. Who on earth thought this crap would possibly be a good film, one thinks. A movie like this is absurdly mesmerizing: jaw-dropping, even.

With Major League Baseball's non-waiver trade deadline just over a week away, rumors abound as to which teams will act as "buyers" to stockpile talent for a potential pennant race, and which teams will be "sellers," offering high-priced veterans in return for prospects that may (or may not) be able to help them in coming years. Of special note this season is the uncertain economic situations of many teams, as trades often have to be cash-neutral to satisfy nervous owners in a depressed economic climate.

I love Kim Jong-Il of North Korea. I love his audacity to threaten the world's only superpower with nuclear war if his demands are not heeded. It is amusing to see a tiny, bankrupt state use nuclear weapons as bargaining tools to get trade and other concessions.

Dartmouth College has many myths. "The Sphinx has the highest water bill inHanover," and "hey freshman, touch the homecoming bonfire and you won't get burned, I promise," are just a couple of examples. But there is one myth that is so ingrained in the student body, faculty and administration by now that it is barely ever spoken of. Casual discussions about it seem almost pointless because most accept it as an established fact as opposed to debatable lore. This myth, however, is grossly inaccurate, and unfortunately, the damage it has done has become quite palpable over the past few years. What illusion is so pervasive and widespread? It is the myth that the Greeks and the Greek system do nothing for the community.

At a quiet meeting yesterday evening, Student Assembly members discussed potential formats for an online version of the upperclass face guide Mugshots, which will replace the popular booklet during the 2004-2005 academic year.

It is, some may say, the most "natural" example of Dartmouth's symbiotic, keep-each-other-afloat attitude toward the surrounding community: a partnership that begins with College-owned trees, brings in local businesses and culminates in solid hardwood products.

For the College's Southern population, life may be soon getting a little steamier, if not downright juicy.

Steeped in Scottish history and culture and home to an ancient Christian divinity school, Edinburgh might seem like the perfect place to hold the Religion department's Foreign Study Program.

Like many others, you may feel the need for some sort of attitude transition from the bacchanalia that was Tubestock to the somewhat more sedate time approaching -- Parents' weekend. What better way to make this shift to wholesome family fun than by taking a trip to see the circus?

Until Saturday, Tubestock remained a mystery to many of the members of the '05 class. Categorized with Homecoming weekend, Winter Carnival and Green Key, Tubestock was predicted to be a weekend of big drinking. All summer, Tubestock has been a buzzword around campus. Like children planning, constructing and bragging about their Halloween costumes, Dartmouth students worked meticulously to construct rafts for the big day. But what exactly was to be done with these rafts remained a question. Nevertheless, in true Dartmouth form, students took to the river as early as 10:00 Saturday morning preparing for the event. While some rose early to rid a disco inferno hangover with a not so continental breakfast of Boones and Bagels or Keystone Light, others escorted their respective rafts a la Rio with chests out and chins held high. By the official start to Tubestock at noon, the river had become a harbor for floating trampolines, couches, several wooden rafts and hundreds of black inner tubes. Though there were no formal races or events, as more and more students and rafts filled the river, the confusion about Tubestock vanished: it was simply a day of drinking, socializing and playing on the river. While some actually tried to walk on water, it was as if, for a few hours, the whole student body did. Saturday's five hour fiesta on the Connecticut River displayed nothing less than a modern spectacle -- "unusual, entertaining and a dramatic public display."

Even with an track record that included stints as a U.S. diplomat to troubled eastern European countries, Ken Yalowitz has adopted a modest attitude toward his position as the new director of The Dickey Center.

Becca Heller '05 is not one to talk up her own accomplishments. Although in her time so far at Dartmouth, Heller has started more community initiatives than many college graduates will contribute to in their entire lives, talking with her one gets the impression that all her work was so simple, or so obvious, that the only remarkable thing is that it was never done before.

They are young, urban and diverse. And as of this summer, Hispanics are also the most populous minority group in the country.

Tubestock, the almost two-decade-long tradition that has come to define sophomore summer, went off without any major glitches Saturday. Minor incidents marring the festivities included a student cutting his head open by a cinder block and the arrest of a student for throwing a beer bottle at a police officer. A few students were detained for being intoxicated.

Big, scary green monsters, 40 year-old women dating men half their age and prancing around in bikinis barely big enough to fit their youngest daughters, not to mention the surprising popularity of animated fish and men in dresses (sorry Keanu, but we're just not feeling it). Yes, from Justin to Kelly and from dumb to dumberer, it's been a crazy summer in Hollywood.

I have read with interest the recent series of columns relating to the development of a Dartmouth brand. Kabir Sehgal and Brent Reidy have presented an intriguing case for making Dartmouth a powerful brand name ("On Dartmouth Branding," May 23, 2003). Alston Ramsay countered by expressing his amusement because "almost every reason offered [for branding the Dartmouth name] is either asinine, immature, or incredibly pretentious ("Conserve Dartmouth's Brand, July 11, 2003"). These differing views have left me thinking.
