The Class of 2005 experienced much change during their first three years at Dartmouth. They were the largest class the College had seen in sometime, possibly spurring the much-needed construction that occurred in their upperclass years and they became closer when the landmark events of September 11 occurred during their first quarter at the College. Classes before the '05s entered a Dartmouth torn by the Student Life Initiative, but this Fall term tragedy brought the campus together in many ways.

Seniors returned to Hanover in the fall to find the campus transformed into a hotbed of political activity. With the 2004 presidential election fast-approaching, President George W. Bush and his challenger, Senator John Kerry, stumped throughout the state with their respective high-profile supporters in tow. Meanwhile, student political groups worked at a fever pitch to drum up support for their party's man, showering the Big Green with leaflets and mobilizing their organizations.

From a speech given by a Native American near a tree branch, a false bomb scare during a presidential visit, and Mr. Rogers, the commencement ceremonies has consistently been an exciting time, even if the look has changed over the years.

Senior Week, that fabled period of pure hedonism before graduation begins, turned Hanover into a zoo for a few days. Relatives and friends descended Main Street looking for food and Dartmouth gear. Meanwhile, many '05s found themselves taking last minute excursions to distant Vermont and New Hampshire locations, trying to experience what the greater Dartmouth region for the last time.

Commencement marks a new beginning for all Dartmouth College seniors, another leaf turned over, a new chapter beginning. For some -- 21 seniors to be exact -- commencement will also mark the beginning of their time as a Senior Executive Committee member. Starting after Senior Week, the Senior Executive Committee replaces the senior Class Council as the reigning body of the 2005 class. It is the job of the Senior Executive Committee to choose the speakers for Class Day and to select the class marshals who will lead the class of 2005 down the aisles for the commencement ceremony.

Most students come to Lone Pine Tavern for the food and the atmosphere. The musicians come for other reasons.

Sadly or not so sadly, it's my last column this term. I've had some interesting requests. I was asked to write more as a horse. I was asked to highlight the positive side of steroid use. I was even asked to discuss the reasons a woodpecker pecks trees (if you're curious, they do it to "echo-locate" insects). But undoubtedly, the most valuable request came from a friend who asked why I didn't write about "something, you know, like better."

Congress just might be on the verge of a spectacular medical breakthrough, but only if promoters of a stem cell bill can garner enough support to override a threatened presidential veto. The debate, which has even divided Republicans, concerns what to do with over 400,000 in vitro embryos that are currently scheduled to be discarded. Although President Bush has announced a campaign to promote the adoption of these embryos, most of the so-called "snowflake babies" would most likely end up being destroyed. The new stem cell bill, which has already passed in the House with the support of 50 Republicans, would allow these existing embryos to be used for the sake of stem cell research.

I passionately believe in human freedom and human dignity. I believe that people of free nations have a moral obligation to actively support every human being's desire to live freely. By no means am I a pacifist. In fact, during the buildup to the Iraq War in 2002, I was an outspoken proponent of the war.

Third floor Berry. 8:22 p.m. Finals. I could not dream up a more beautiful sonata. Kresge gym. 4:36 p.m. The elliptical, the weights, the stretching mat. Gobs of makeup, a small ear accessory and a high pitched chirp. What a natural combination. Over the past four years, cell phone use on the Dartmouth campus has risen exponentially. In classrooms, at the library and in the gym, students abuse these handy devices hourly. They fail to turn them off during lectures. They answer calls in the middle of conversations. They squeal into them, "Oh my GOD! He said what? Really?"
