The enforcement of an order to shut down Al-Jazeera's news office in Baghdad is a peculiar step toward a free and democratic Iraq. Newly appointed Prime Minister Iyad Allawi defended the move saying that it was "a decision taken by the national security committee to protect the people of Iraq, in the interests of the Iraqi people." I'm still trying to understand how kicking out the Arab world's largest independent media outlet is in the interests of the Iraqi people.
Dartmouth may not be this year's hottest Ivy League school, but the College did receive the honor of hottest "tech-savvy" institution according to Kaplan and Newsweek's "How to Get Into College Guide" and the list of "America's 25 Hottest Schools."
Among the various renovations across campus, one such refurbishment did not involve contractors or construction crews. The College recently announced that it is planning to revamp its homepage and second-level websites.
Dartmouth food may still be great, but apparently the campus isn't as beautiful as it used to be. Princeton Review released its highly-touted "The Best 357 Colleges Book" Tuesday, including its annual college rankings, with Dartmouth sliding in many important categories. Nonetheless, Dartmouth remains the leader in the Ivy League in the number of categories in which it is highly-ranked with seven.
Co-architect and designer of the World Trade Center memorial Michael Arad '91 will deliver the Convocation address to officially open the College's 235th academic year on Tuesday, Sept. 21.
Nathan's Garden, a quiet, spacious park at the intersection of Maple Street and Downing Road, may play host to more than an occasional birdwatcher this weekend.
"The Manchurian Candidate" -- a remake of an identically named film from 1962 -- is an unsettling thriller that plays on our rabid fascination with conspiracy theory, political corruption and mind control.
Between Friday's Opening Ceremonies and Aug. 29, athletes will compete for a total of 301 gold medals in 31 event fields in Athens, Greece. Below, The Dartmouth presents some of the most compelling events of this year's international sports showcase:

Entertainment ceases to grip its audience when it ceases to inspire. Let's face it; the Olympics are pretty boring. Seriously, I've heard more about the steroid scandals, security concerns, slow ticket sales and the failure of the U.S. baseball team to qualify than I have about all of the eligible athletes combined. This year's games will mark the apparent decline of not one, but two TV institutions. When Fox prepares its primetime programming answer to this year's Olympics, it will be Peter Griffin, not Homer Simpson, who carries the torch.
Over the next four years, fewer student-athletes will be recruited to each of Dartmouth's 27 "Ivy Championship" teams, thanks to new recruiting limits instituted at the Council of Ivy Group Presidents' 2003 annual spring meeting.
While most of the country will anxiously monitor Olympic results to see how many medals the U.S. team will win in Athens this summer, Tuck professor Andrew Bernard claims he already knows how many medals the team will take home.
While Hanover may be a far cry from New York City and its glitzy world of fashion, socialites and celebrity parties, one Dartmouth student, Neel Shah '05, has taken on an internship that requires him to not only schmooze, but also to poke fun at New York's elite.
Thanks to a recent grant from the Dana Foundation, researchers at Dartmouth and several other institutions will soon be studying the correlation between education in the arts and brain development.
This Friday the Opening Ceremonies will kick off the 2004 Olympic Games, welcoming athletes from 201 countries into the Athenian stadium, including three of Dartmouth's very own.
