HANOVER CENTER, N.H. -- Audrey Gilman has been watching beasts of burden do her family's dirty work for the past 34 years.
As someone for whom going to class this term can best be described as a secondary activity, I've decided I should invest the mental energy normally directed to my primary reason for being at Dartmouth into what has overtaken academics in importance -- golf.
You will benefit. I can say that without knowing who you really are. In my last two columns, I've addressed why and how Dartmouth should go about building a potent brand. I've examined problems and suggested solutions. Today I'll explain a more powerful Dartmouth brand will benefit students, faculty, staff, alumni, and others. Voila, our benefits.
As the Dartmouth Community mulls over possibly changing its mascot from the oh-so vague "Big Green" to the Dartmouth Moose, a more fitting description should be chosen. The color green is ubiquitous at Dartmouth. Not only are students clothed in green Dartmouth apparel and athletic uniforms but also, the Green itself and the neighboring mountainsides and forests further encapsulate this campus in green. Despite the omnipresence of this verdant hue on our campus, the Big Green is not a suitable "mascot." A mascot should be a specific person, animal or character that demonstrates traits and qualities of the body it represents. Dartmouth students, like other fans, should be able to dress up as their mascot. If one wanted to dress up as a "Big Green," how would one do this?
After its doors shut recently to "review business options," what was formerly Mojo's Bistro will remain closed indefinitely, according to owner Nigel Leeming.
Construction season has finally arrived in Hanover as the Office of Residential Life works furiously to carry out much-needed renovations on buildings and Phi Delta Alpha prepares to return to campus as a full-fledged fraternity.
The College on Tuesday submitted permit requests to the Town of Hanover for its proposed redevelopment of the so-called "South Block" that could reshape the southern edge of downtown.
A man wakes up naked in a hospital room in London, only to find himself alone. Confused, he tears the needles from his arm and begins wandering through the ward, discovering that it is completely abandoned.
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 talks with noted social commentator Adam White '05.
I am using this forum to convey a major complaint against your institution's policies and admissions standards. In early June of this year, I saw a report on the New England Cable News network. On the newscast, a story was aired that has been truly bothering me from the time I watched it. The story dealt with a young, affluent man from Brookline, Mass. and his personal refusal to take the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System exam. As the members of your administration are well aware, the MCAS exam is Massachusetts high school exit exam. As stated on the news segment featuring this young man, he expressed that it was time for him to find a cause, because his parents had one. He expressed that he felt bad because the majority of the people who were not passing the MCAS exam were inner-city students.
It sounded too good to pass up -- 3D Pornography at the Hopkins Center. Since when did Spaulding become X-rated? Were the Hopniks up to their usual hijinks? School sponsored smut, I just couldn't believe it. I needed to know more. Reading over the review for "Disco Dolls in Hot Skins," it seemed harmless enough. "Fresh from the art-house revival circuit comes a campy 1977 porn film starring X-rated legend John Holmes." Unsure of the exact definition of "campy", I asked a friend of its connotation. "The Brady Bunch is quite campy" she responded. Okay, I can definitely handle Marcia Brady.
The College on Friday removed two diseased American elm trees -- one on the Green near the flag poles and one on Tuck Mall in front of Streeter Hall -- and trimmed one in front of Baker Library to contain the spread of Dutch Elm Disease.
About one hundred "trippees," 20 leaders, a climbing crew of four, a boating crew of three, two safety helpers, two student coordinators and others participated in Sophomore Trips, or STRIPs, this past weekend.
A paucity of summer course offerings across all departments may have many students complaining, but many of those majoring in smaller departments are troubled by their lack of options. These programs offer either no courses at all or nothing but an independent study, making fulfilling major requirements inordinately difficult, they said.
Though the move still awaits approval by the Board of Trustees at its next meeting in September, the Class of 2004 will likely be the last required to complete a course labeled as "interdisciplinary," according to the chair of the administrative body that assigns distributive assignments to classes.
1)The other day when I went to see the Hulk, this dude wouldn't shut up and kept yelling stuff like "Hulk, you need to chill" and "Hulk, you rule." Finally I turned to him and said, "Listen, man, you don't need to scream. He can't hear you." The guy was very nice about the whole matter, and immediately apologized to Mr. Ferrigno.
My journey to the 2003 Bonnaroo Music Festival began on Wednesday, June 11 in Moorestown, New Jersey. As the caravan left packed to the brim with granola bars and Easy Mac containers, I knew I was embarking on a wild adventure.
The Supreme Court decisions on the cases of Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger are not likely to create any great upset. They were well thought-out. In Grutter v. Bollinger, the Court understood that it is the university's prerogative to decide whether racial and ethnic diversity is beneficial to its academic environment. In Gratz v. Bollinger, the Court saw that the university was acting not in the interest of academics but rather in the interest of justice, which is not the mandate of the university, though the interests of academics and justice are by no means mutually exclusive.
To the chagrin of Israel, the Palestinian Authority and America, Hamas has not only seized the popular support of Palestinians, but now drives the destiny of the wilting internationally-proposed road map for peace. Both the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority are ready for peace and collaboration, indeed a difficult accomplishment. However, this is no longer enough. Years of corrosion of the Palestinian Authority's power and credibility has allowed the terrorist organization Hamas to seize control. Now, the road map's path to peace leads through Hamas.
As of July 1, one of America's most popular juice brands will be going down the drain.
