Despite Dartmouth's increasingly competitive applicants and expanding campus, U.S. News and World Report remains firm -- for the sixth year in a row, Dartmouth ranked ninth in its "America's Best Colleges" guide.
Taking place in the Philippines in 1945, "The Great Raid" claims to be a dramatic reenactment of the 6th Ranger Battalion's attempt to free 500 men from the Cabanatuan Japanese POW camp. However, contrary to this original-sounding summary, it is the same movie as "Pearl Harbor" (2001). Yes, hearts raced, patriotism soared and a beautiful woman cried out in fear for her beloved soldier's life. The Japanese soldiers were referred to disdainfully as "Japs," and the men in American uniforms do their best to carry the day.
The Dartmouth Triathlon Club, back after a nearly two-year hiatus, showed a strong hand this past weekend at the STOAKED Off Road Triathlon at Storr's Pond. Consisting of a 400-yard swim, six-mile mountain bike and 3.5-mile trail run, the course held challenges for everyone.
The addition of a new coach typically begets a number of questions and anxieties. Will she get along with the team? Will she mesh with the rest of the coaching staff? Does she grasp the intricacies of the players' games? Can she relay information about opposing teams? Will she be comfortable living and working in the school's area?
Let me be the first to say that enough is enough. Cindy Sheehan has now been camped outside of President Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch for nearly two weeks. Sheehan and her band of 50 or so demonstrators have been protesting the war in Iraq day and night, hoping to earn an appointment with the President. According to the President's spokesperson, Sheehan is unlikely to get her wish. Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son, Casey, was killed while serving in Iraq, has vowed to remain in Texas until the President's vacation ends later this month. Quite frankly, I'm a little bit bothered by her method of protest. In fact, I'm not the only one. On Monday a petition with over 60 signatures was submitted to the McLennan County commission, essentially asking the county to prohibit the demonstrators from camping so close to the President's ranch. According to the complaint, Sheehan and her supporters have caused major traffic and safety concerns, often congregating in the middle of the road and generally annoying Bush's Crawford neighbors. With all due respect, I think that it is necessary to echo the call of the angry residents " "Go Home!"
This year's Tubestock weekend, though free of any serious problems, prompted many local law enforcement officials to inquire about a means to step up enforcement on the Connecticut River, especially with regard to blatant public drinking by underage students.

The last several years have been marked by a lack of American success in the world of men's tennis. In recent years, only two Grand Slam titles have been won by Americans. Andre Agassi won the 2003 Australian Open and Andy Roddick won the 2003 U.S. Open. In addition, only one American -- Roddick -- has remained in the upper tier with players like Lleyton Hewitt, Marat Safin and Roger Federer, who hail from Australia, Russia and Switzerland, respectively.
I have decided to devote a few hours during which I really should be doing homework to explain to the ever-curious Dartmouth student the reason behind the Democratization of Sen. Bill Frist's, R-Tenn., embryonic views. You see, Bill, like quite a few politicians of the conservative persuasion, is not really human.
The other night, my friend and I were eating buffalo wings and drinking beer at Murphy's when he mentioned a trend that was intriguing to me. Apparently, in the field of astrophysics, there is a resurgence of religious interest. Astrophysicists are discovering that the fabric of the universe contains an astonishing level of fine-tuning. The current structure of the universe actually requires an extraordinarily delicate balance among numerous physical constants and conditions. This finding, together with the Big Bang theory that suggests a definite origin for the universe, leads many astrophysicists to consider "design" and "intelligence" as reasonable language with which to describe the universe and potential additions to their paradigm.
Complaints of the summer heat have been common across campus this term, but few students can attest to the heat wave experienced by Dartmouth Dining Services employees. For grill workers and other employees who wear green-collared shirts and stand six hours at a time, the summer is particularly burdensome.
