Duplicitous DDS

(11/21/06 11:00am)

In general, Dartmouth Dining Services does a superb job of feeding the campus community. Its food is reliably appealing, sometimes excellent. For an institution that serves thousands of meals each day, that record is difficult to beat. Indeed, the logistical issues behind such an extensive culinary operation must be extraordinary. But there are a few matters on which DDS policy seems needlessly off the mark, and could probably be fixed with relative ease.

The "State of the Arctic" analysis from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration noted that Arctic sea ice levels from last March were the lowest they have ever been since coverage via satellite began over 30 years ago. However, according to Jaqueline Richter-Menge of the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover, N.H., the loss of Arctic ice is now an issue during both the winter and the summer. The Arctic tundra has become greener while the northern forests have lost vegetation at the same time due to drought. Additionally, Arctic glaciers are shrinking and permafrost is warming. All this is a cause for concern, experts said, because the temperature variation between the Arctic and equator determines the global climate.








Dartmouth students pick favorite holiday movies for break

(11/21/06 11:00am)

When you finally surrender to studying for those miserable finals and tire of sleeping on the couch because of myriad invading family members, the realization hits that with Thanksgiving comes a limited number of joys: football for some, turkey for others, shopping for the brave few and the universal delight sure to warm the hearts of the "grinchiest" folk, the commencement of the holiday movie season.

Every day from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in a space below street-level, Dartmouth alumnus Eric Hasse '80 shows five rooms of his print work. The exhibition, which began Oct. 6 and will run until the end of December, features both the sumi ink works that Hasse produced in the 1980s and his newer, digital images from the past few years.





Men's hockey edges Brown, falls to Yale in home matchups

(11/20/06 11:00am)

It was not the ideal result, but Dartmouth's split at Thompson Arena this weekend versus ECACHL opponents was good enough to keep the Big Green within striking distance of first place, one point behind Quinnipiac. As inconsistency at home returned to plague Dartmouth, the Big Green (5-3, 4-3 ECACHL) fell to Yale 4-2 on Friday, but recovered the following night to beat Brown 1-0.




Beyond the Talking Points

(11/20/06 11:00am)

For too long the Democratic Party has let Republicans define and redefine the debate over America's political issues. Buzzwords like "pro-life" and "climate change" have skewed the way many Americans see, think and talk about the issues. The problem historically for liberal candidates is that they usually have complex, well-reasoned opinions that are too complicated to communicate in a single sentence (see: Al Gore, John Kerry), while conservatives are able to express themselves in simple sound-bites (see: George W. Bush).


In Defense of Religion

(11/20/06 11:00am)

Religion has a burden to bear these days. Everyone from Zach Hyatt '09 ("The World, Weighed and Measured," Oct. 12) to Elton John to Sam Harris asks, "Is God worth it?" "Religion" is fingered as the root cause of three destructive forces: Islamic terrorism, bungled American foreign policy, and an exclusive vision of social morality. Islamic radicals threaten the world's social fabric; the Evangelicals lent spiritual legitimacy to short-sighted American military responses. They want gays to cast out the causal demons within them. Given this susceptibility to irrationally violent interpretations of its own objectives, the arguments call into question the whole religious sphere of life.
