The Dartmouth volleyball team ended its homestand with disappointment this weekend. The four-match stretch began last weekend with a strong showing, taking a game against league-leading Cornell and sweeping Columbia to put the Big Green in position to make progress in the Ivy League standings. However, the team failed to capitalize on the opportunity to bolster its Ivy League marks as it lost two winnable matches in front of a home crowd in Hanover this weekend to Penn (8-12, Ivy 5-4) and Princeton (14-6, Ivy 5-4).

A few short weeks ago, I was forced to make the most difficult decision of my time at Dartmouth. Upon realizing that two of my exams for a certain course would conflict with the Jewish holidays, I wrote the professor to explain the situation and to request an alternate test date. I was confident that the professor would respond positively -- as had all of my professors during my freshman year. However, this professor did not immediately grant my request, and instead went to his supervisor in order to determine whether or not it was necessary to grant such an accommodation on religious grounds.

Aimed squarely at the intelligentsia and film-festival crowd, "Proof" is a literate film in every sense of the word -- talky and serious, with occasional bursts of cynical humor. Like "Pi" and "A Beautiful Mind" before it, "Proof," based on a Pulitzer-Prize-winning Broadway play by David Auburn, explores the thin line between genius and madness, extending it beyond the principal to question the legacy and responsibilities of children born to geniuses. It also delves into thriller territory for a while, tackling issues of intellectual property and authorship.

Brazilian bossa nova singer Virginia Rodrigues performed at the Hopkins Center on Friday night. Although Dartmouth students were sparse, Spaulding Auditorium was still filled with fans from the Hanover area. Fernando Ausin '06, one of the few students who attended, found that the concert showcased a "variety that didn't apply to the Hanover audience," unlike last spring's "unbelievable" Fado concert, which was the previous Brazilian music event on campus.

Harvard's NHL-like run-and-gun offensive plan paid dividends in the final frame in the form of three unanswered goals, giving Dartmouth its second 0-1 start in as many years.

Against a big rival, records can often prove irrelevant. Two years ago, behind the miraculous diving reception of Andrew Hall '05 that can only be called, "The Catch," the Big Green shocked Harvard in Cambridge with a 30-16 victory. One year ago, despite finishing with a 1-9 record, Dartmouth came a point shy of upending the Crimson at Memorial Field and spoiling its perfect season before a failed two-point conversion led to a 13-12 Harvard win.

I won't pretend to fully understand the political machinations and maneuverings of our tremendously committed alumni with regard to the election of trustees. Just as the members of the class of 2002 and 2003 baffle me every time they show up for yet another Winter Carnival or Green Key, the folks who spend hundreds of dollars on full-page ads in The Dartmouth and seemingly invest all their time in alumni politics make me wonder whether I'll spend the next sixty years of my life rehashing my glory days over blitz from a cubicle in Manhattan.
