Formed in 1973, the English Concert has won exuberant accolades from critics and fans the world over. The group, lead by Andrew Manze, is rightly considered the best at what it does. However, what it does is perhaps the most confusing and absurd concept in modern music: "historically accurate performance."
BOSTON, Oct. 24 -- During one of this city's biggest sports weekends in recent history, the Dartmouth heavyweights and lightweights traveled to the Head of the Charles Regatta with hopes of establishing themselves as forces to be reckoned with in the spring racing season. Race officials shortened the course on both days of racing because the wind and choppy water made the course difficult to row.
After a three-week layoff, a trio of Dartmouth's top men's tennis players returned to action and form during the five-day Intercollegiate Tennis Association Northeast Men's Regional Championships, otherwise known as the ITA Regionals.
The outstanding doubles play of co-captains Jayme Ahmed '05 and Sarah McNally '05 led the Big Green at last weekend's Wilson/ITA Eastern Regional Tennis Championships in Philadelphia, Penn. The super seniors advanced to the quarterfinals of the elite draw, knocking off a pair of seeded teams on the way.
The past four days have brought mixed emotions to Dartmouth's men's soccer team. The successful squad extended its streak of 10 unbeaten games Saturday after the 2-1 defeat of Columbia. On Tuesday, however, state rival UNH ended the streak with a 1-0 victory over the Big Green.
While I agree with Dan Knecht's argument that collective punishment is not an ideal way to deal with dorm damage (The Dartmouth, "Collective Punishment: Bad Idea," October 20), I severely disagree with his last comments. His concluding paragraph states that he believes the Office of Residential Life should "hold UGAs partially responsible for the activities of their residents. Do not fine them, although that would be more 'just' than fining the whole floor since they are paid to supervise their residents, but encourage them to discuss problems with their residents and devise creative ways to stymie dorm damage."
Anyone who had a childhood knows that rivalries are fun. Whether it's a rivalry with that fat kid down the street that really isn't a rivalry at all because you can easily outrun him and pelt him with rocks, or whether it's a "rivalry" with that girl in first grade who you really want to kiss, rivalries are exciting and healthy.
During my time at Dartmouth, I have encountered a disturbing trend among many students -- especially hardcore Democrats -- to resort to name-calling when trying to make some political point. For example, my fellow classmates have told me that "George Bush is an idiot" (he graduated from Yale), "Dick Cheney is a crook" (his ties to Halliburton are ephemeral at best) and "Colin Powell is as white as they come" (I don't know how accusing someone of being white is an insult, but such is often the case at Dartmouth).
College rankings, a staple for many high school seniors when applying to schools, usually poll university administrators about the schools in question. One recent study, however, used students to determine the latest ordering of the nation's top institutions.
The southeast wing of Baker-Berry Library has been cleared of everything from furniture to asbestos and is ready to be renovated for Dartmouth's new learning center, officials said. But the red tape involved in receiving a Hanover building permit has apparently left progress at a standstill.
When Karen Francis '84 takes the helm of advertising agency Publicis & Hal Riney on Nov. 1, she will join the ranks of members of Dartmouth's Board of Trustees who boast heading a major company among their varied achievements.
Potential first daughter Vanessa Kerry stepped in for her father in Hanover Wednesday, marching across campus to encourage Dartmouth students to choose Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry over President Bush on Nov. 2.
When the credits began to roll, the audience, of which I was an assenting part, seemed not to know what to think. The woman in front of me, her hair doused in a particularly potent perfume, shook her head with a confused smile; the man awkwardly lying in the aisle with his head propped up on a rolled-up jacket stood up dazedly, scratching his sideburns as he moved toward the exit.
The Dartmouth women's crew team made its presence known this weekend as it headed down to Boston for the 40th Annual Head of the Charles Regatta on the Charles River. The first varsity boat entered the Championship Eight race and finished 20th out of 42 international boats with a time of 12:56.3 on a 2.3 mile racecourse, shortened from three miles because of poor weather conditions.
The Dartmouth equestrian team ended its winning streak this weekend, placing third overall at the Mt. Ida show Sunday. Dartmouth was one point behind the University of Vermont, who claimed second place. The High Point College was the hosting college, Mt. Ida.
While most Dartmouth students spent this sunny Saturday in long pants and fleece, the Big Green sailing team raced toward glory in neoprene and dry suits, securing berths in top regattas throughout the East Coast . Despite the extreme drop in mobility and sex appeal, the sailors once again showed their mettle in heavy winds up and down the Northeast.
