A Dartmouth baseball player will appear tonight on an ESPN documentary that promises to tell some of Sports Illustrated's greatest stories.

Elizabeth Hirsh, manager of the women's health program at Dick's House, rummaged through a filing cabinet as she searched for a handout on pregnancy options.
MANCHESTER, Oct. 29 -- Thousands of Republicans surged to their feet in thunderous applause Friday, as President Bush and Laura Bush entered the packed Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester for one of his final speeches of the presidential campaign. Though Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling was originally supposed to accompany Bush at the event, he reportedly was unable to travel due to lack of medical clearance.
State Democrats reacted quickly when the Republican Party, trying to garner last-minute support with New Hampshire's swing voters, began paying part-time workers $75 this weekend to devote a day to the Bush campaign -- especially in liberal areas like Hanover.
Although many Dartmouth students may scream themselves hoarse at the Homecoming game this weekend, the Dartmouth Cords and Decibelles will be saving their voices for the biggest a cappella concert of the year.
The Dartmouth women's hockey team held steady in its final preseason tune-up Tuesday night against Harvard's squad. The two premier teams in the nation showcased their arsenals in a fast-paced scrimmage in front of a handful of Dartmouth-faithful. The regular season begins Friday night for the Big Green, as they take on Boston College
Homecoming weekend has arrived, and for any self-respecting, green-blooded sports fan from this or several other planets, that means football.
This Saturday's Homecoming game marks the 108th meeting of Dartmouth and Harvard in football, and to prevent a recurrence of the first outcome -- when Harvard slammed Dartmouth 53-0 in 1882 -- the Big Green's coaches have switched up the starting line.
The editors of the Homecoming Issue of The Dartmouth have asked me to write a Homecoming column because this weekend is the one where everyone, you know, comes home. I am of course perfectly happy to do this, but a columnist can only write about the same weekend so many times in a career. This is why so many writers move on to subjects like politics when they get old. It's not that they become uninterested in the social hierarchy of a small college's Greek system, it's just that they've exhausted all possible words to describe it.
The temperature actually drops into the 30-degree range at night, hordes of old people flock to watch dying leaves fall and more than two students can be seen studying in Novack on Saturday nights. Not only are we currently in the thick of fall foliage and midterm season, but we have actually arrived at the biggest weekend of the Fall term.
At Dartmouth, students start looking forward to the Homecoming bonfire, parties and football game at the beginning of Fall term, and freshmen eagerly await the Freshman Sweep and other festivities on the Friday night of Homecoming. However, at many other schools, especially Ivy League schools, homecoming does not hold the same significance.
The temperature forecast may be 50 degrees, but sultry confessions and a Disco Inferno party should make this year's Homecoming a hot one.
Although Homecoming has been celebrated at Dartmouth for 100-plus years, it remains shrouded in mystery for this year's freshmen until tonight. Most '08s have heard the basics of what is perhaps the most exciting weekend of the year. But having yet to experience the weekend for themselves, the specific goings-on of Homecoming weekend are still unknown.
Anticipating a crowd at this year's Homecoming bonfire commensurate with the large crowds of yore, Safety and Security and the Hanover Police Department are prepared and armed in numbers.
Even though today is a day of classes according to the Dartmouth term calendar, many students will be able to begin their Homecoming festivities early, as several professors have cancelled class or opted to use the x-hour in lieu of holding regularly scheduled classes.
Although the bonfire tends to focus attention on the freshman class, Homecoming represents a weekend of "welcome home" activities for alumni, young and old.
Jesus did it over 2,000 years ago. Tupac did it in 1997. Keggy's doing it at Homecoming.
Keystone Light's 30-packs are as ubiquitous as pong balls and muddy floors in fraternity basements, but that was not always the case. A look into the history of Dartmouth's favorite beverage shows Keystone Light to be a relative newcomer to the Greek scene.
Sometimes you just don't know unless you've been there. The freshmen don't yet know how amazing and important Homecoming is to Dartmouth. But when you're running around the bonfire, adrenaline pumping, holding onto kids that you don't even know that well, you somehow realize that you're now connected in the spirit of Dartmouth -- you suddenly get it.
In 1888, a bunch of boozed-up baseball players, elated at their recent victory over Manchester College, indulged their collective destructive side and set a roaring blaze in the center of the Hanover Green. Through that inauspicious beginning, their drunken revelry has spawned one of Dartmouth's most memorable and lasting annual events.
