The Ivy Council's membership shrank from the Ancient Eight to a selective seven last week when Harvard student government leaders passed a resolution to withdraw their Undergraduate Council from the independent association of Ivy League student governments.

At an institution that prides itself on safety and trust, students often become careless with guarding their computers, most of the time suffering no adverse consequences. Abandoning a laptop during a Food Court foray, for example, is a thoughtless and commonplace action.

Students looking to exercise in the College's work-out facilities may be in for a surprise if they show up at the old Kresge Fitness Center. Renovations on Alumni Gym have forced the treadmills, ellipticals and weight machines out of the previous location across from Leede Arena and onto the raised track in the West Gym.

The most anticipated movie event of the year is here, and thankfully, it does not disappoint. In "Star Wars: Episode III " Revenge of the Sith," Lucas has carefully melded emotion, adventure and tragedy to deliver the best entry in the series since "The Empire Strikes Back." Disgruntled fans and cynical critics take note: not only is this film vastly superior to the other prequels, but it also ends cinema's most beloved series with a resounding triumph.

This March, the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights added to Title IX, the 1972 law aimed to provide women and men equal opportunities to participate in collegiate varsity sports, what many are calling a loophole for those schools who already do not want to add female sports teams.

Steroids. With one word, I either tuned you in or turned you off to the whole column. I suggest you bear with me, because the past few months have illuminated a serious problem in pro sports that no one was willing to acknowledge as recently as last year. If it's not obvious now why baseball was so opposed to random testing, don't tell the ACLU, but it had very little to do with civil liberties and a whole lot to do with a cover-up.

Living in the Dartmouth bubble, we often forget that our actions have impacts beyond Hanover. Some of these impacts come in the form of environmental impacts from our use of resources and our disposal of waste. To get a better idea of this impact, I recently blitzed the campus a link to an "Ecological Footprint Calculator" and asked students to complete the survey and blitz me the results, along with other information about themselves. Over 200 students participated in the survey, providing a unique look at Dartmouth's ecological footprint.

I didn't really follow the Trustee Election, but I like that both Peter Robinson '79 and Todd Zywicki '88 are academics, and more importantly, writers. Robinson wrote the famous "Tear Down this Wall" speech, while Zywicki is an author and commentator on the popular blog "The Volokh Conspiracy." In light of the recent emphasis on the significance of writing, both on the Dartmouth campus and among the college admissions community, the ability to string sentences together well is increasingly important. However, if one were to try to write the way the College Board seems to like, the famous "tear down this wall line" would have been much longer and clunkier.

Writers looking for a little inspiration need not travel further than Main Street, as the Dartmouth Bookstore now carries a new line of interactive greeting cards intended to bring out the creative side in everyone. The bookseller will be one of the first stores in the country to stock the innovative new cards from Tell Tale Press, as part of the bookstore's effort to carry items unique to the Hanover area.

Fro-yo jokes and degrading comments seem to have become the norm at Dartmouth, a norm that a new student group, the Sexual Violence Mentoring Program, aims to combat. The group plans to take a proactive approach not only to avert sexual violence, but also will attempt to eventually change the culture of the College.

The "final four" is usually an event Dartmouth athletes watch on television, but not so for the surging lady laxers. Members of the Dartmouth women's lacrosse team left for Annapolis, Md., on Wednesday for the first leg of a journey they hope will land the Big Green with its first ever national championship. After a surprise 13-3 trouncing of fifth-ranked Georgetown (the national champion runner-up in two of the past four seasons) this past Sunday, Dartmouth guaranteed itself a final four birth and a match-up with the number one team in the nation, Northwestern. The Big Green is looking to serve the Wildcats their first loss of 2005. Northwestern has run the table thus far, and stands at an impressive 19-0 on the year.

Journalism is a rather arrogant profession. Journalists love to think of themselves as public servants, defending the helpless masses from the schemes of government, corporate America, organized religion, the military, special interests or any other convenient institutional boogeyman that is handy at the moment.
