The term "jarhead" is military jargon for marine. The movie "Jarhead" is a simple synonym for tedium. "Jarhead" isn't a drama, and it's not a comedy. The film isn't anti-war or pro-war. It's neither action movie nor war film. In fact, it isn't much of anything. It is a synthesis of already-done moments from earlier war films that add up to nothing.
As I walked into "Jamie Kennedy: Unapologetic and Uncensored" on Thursday night, I ran down a mental list of what I knew about this enigmatic yet oddly ubiquitous comedian. Who was this guy whose appearance I had enthusiastically, if perhaps a bit ignorantly, volunteered to review? An almost-famous stand-up comic hovering on the edge of mainstream success? A wannabe-Jim Carrey trying to reinvent a floundering film career by getting behind a mic? That lovably un-hip rapper from "Malibu's Most Wanted"? As it turns out, Jamie Kennedy is all these things and more. But on Thursday, as he stood before a packed Spaulding theater, joking, cursing and having sex with imaginary people, he became something else: a hit with the Dartmouth community. Eventually.
In a game that often appeared to be a rare duel between the arm of one quarterback and the legs of another, the 312 passing-yards of Dartmouth quarterback Josh Cohen '09 were not enough to overtake Cornell (4-4, Ivy 2-3) on Saturday. En route to a 21-10 victory on a gorgeous afternoon at Memorial Field, the Big Red defense forced seven sacks and two turnovers while its potent rushing offense, led by senior quarterback Ryan Kuhn, piled up an astounding 282 yards on the ground.
The Dartmouth volleyball team continued its tendency to prevail over lesser teams and falter in the shadow of stiffer competition as they swept Columbia (5-16, Ivy 3-7) in three games on Friday night and lost to Cornell (18-3, Ivy 11-0) on Saturday afternoon. The win over the Lions serves as the Big Green's second win over Columbia this season, whereas the loss to Cornell marks Dartmouth's eighth Ivy League loss, all of which have come to teams ranked above the Big Green.Dartmouth's four conference wins result from their defeats of Harvard (twice) and Columbia (twice), while they are winless against all other Ivy League opponents.
Up two goals with under four minutes to play in regulation, Dartmouth field hockey overcame an astonishing comeback to beat Cornell 3-2 in overtime at Scully-Fahey Field on Sunday's senior day.
The Dartmouth women's hockey team earned a split in back-to-back games this weekend against Princeton and Quinnipiac. After a disheartening 3-1 loss to Princeton on Friday night at Thompson Arena, the Big Green returned Saturday afternoon and reclaimed their home ice with a convincing 5-2 victory over Quinnipiac.
When planning for the 2005-06 hockey season, Dartmouth's men certainly did not consider starting the year 0-3. After a stinging defeat at the hands of Harvard in the season-opener, the Big Green looked to amend its early woes with contests at Princeton (2-2, ECACHL 1-1) and Quinnipiac (8-2, ECACHL 2-0). It was not to be, however, as Dartmouth (0-3, ECACHL 0-3) was swept in a league weekend for the first time since '02-'03, shutout at Princeton 3-0 and outdone by Quinnipiac 7-5.
On Sunday, the senior class of the Dartmouth women's soccer team donned the green for the last time, so it was only appropriate that the scoring sheet read like the roll call for the pre-game ceremony. Co-captain Megan Wijas '06 notched three assists on the day and fellow seniors Christina Ferraris '06 and Allison Green '06 each scored once with Jennie Tonneson '06 adding an assist to her season total as the Big Green downed the Cornell Big Red 5-0.
Dartmouth men's soccer forward Scott Darci '06 celebrated his Senior Day in style after scoring both goals in Dartmouth's 2-0 shutout of Cornell at Chase Field yesterday.

With the election of petition candidates Peter Robinson '79 and Todd Zywicki '88 to the Board of Trustees in the hotly contested May election, along with the recent Homecoming Alumni Association elections, unsettling political undertones permeate the debate about the future of the College, especially "The Lone Pine Revolution," the anti-Wright administration movement to change the direction of the College. Dartmouth alumni and the media are divided not just into pro- and anti-establishment factions, but into corresponding political camps. Conservative alumni and media appear to be supporting the anti-establishment petition candidates while liberals have seemingly embraced the Wright Administration.
Harriet Miers' nomination to the Supreme Court was defeated by conservative ideologues not content with Miers' conservative credentials: she did not have a documented history of social conservatism and the White House was unable to convince its conservative base that she was "one of them." The White House's feeble attempts to quell the conservatives' doubts -- with winks, nods, and a declaration of her devout "Christian-ness" -- proved about as effective as the Bay of Pigs. The (Christian) Right wanted to know, not just be told, that Miers was a devout Christian; they wanted to know that Miers had a reactionary ideology that she would aggressively bring to the Court as a justice. As Bush did not provide them with these assurances, they killed Miers' nomination.
At the conclusion of my last column, ("Our Classless Campus," Nov. 1) I suggested that dialogue and discussion are ways to address issues of class on campus. We like to think that the Dartmouth student body is open enough to maturely accept and discuss multiple different viewpoints. But what happens when speaking out is responded to negatively?
