Despite the loss of five seniors, Dartmouth men's club hockey looks forward to a highly competitive season with their skilled, albeit younger team.
Proponents of the Bowl Championship Series insist that it's a fairer way to determine the national champion of college football than the old writers' polls, and they are right. These computer-calculated weekly rankings, have not, however, stifled the propensities of football enthusiasts for endless argument. In honor of the recent mid-season release of the first set of BCS rankings, one student's opinions on the country's top eight teams are offered below.
"Our team is very disappointed by the loss and I guarantee that if we had the opportunity to play them again it would be a different game," Emily Tracy '07 said. "We are not happy with our overall performance, but in the long run it's only one game and hopefully we have a lot more to play."
The woes continued for the Dartmouth field hockey team on Friday, as the Big Green gave up four goals off penalty corners in a 5-0 loss to Columbia in New York City. The loss, its fifth straight, drops Dartmouth (3-10, 1-4 Ivy) to the bottom spot in the Ivy League conference standings, while Columbia (6-8, 1-4 Ivy) moves up to the seventh position by virtue of a better overall record.
A Friday night win against Cornell would have tied Dartmouth for third in the Ivy League. Unfortunately, despite a season-high 16 blocks from the Big Green's front row, service errors were the difference in a three-game Dartmouth loss.
A week or two ago, I glanced at the front page of the paper and noticed a picture of a girl with a unicycle. It was, apparently, a slow news day. I recognized the name in the caption, although I couldn't figure out from where. A few days ago, I figured it out. The subject of the photo was Susan Dunklee '08, a cross country runner. A masochistic unicycle rider. I had to know more, and decided that you should too.
The Dartmouth Big Green (1-5, 1-2 Ivy League) footballers held up five fingers as they charged off the field Saturday afternoon. The opened palm stood for the hope that the men in green will finish the season on a 5-0 tear and win a share of the Ivy League championship following their first victory today, a 20-7 shellacking of the Columbia University Lions (3-3, 0-3 Ivy League). While the sentiment is genuine, the road to that title is paved with difficulties.
Dartmouth men's soccer posted its third consecutive Ivy League win with a 1-0 victory over Columbia (6-6-2, 0-3-2 Ivy) at Baker Field in New York on Saturday. Daniel Keat '10 scored his sixth goal of the season, keeping the Big Green (5-6-3, 3-1-1 Ivy) in contention for the Ivy League title.
The year in collegiate sports has been marred by aggressive on- and off-field behavior by student-athletes, both at Dartmouth and at campuses across the nation.
The Republican Party owes most of its national election successes of the past ten years to its unified base of evangelical Christians and economic conservatives, but a new book could create cracks in the otherwise concrete alliance. "Tempting Faith" is an insider story by David Kuo, an Evangelical Christian who served in President George W. Bush's Faith-Based Initiative Office, reveals how the White House courted religious conservative leaders and adopted their agendas in public while they mocked and disregarded them in private.
As we enter the election season here at a top college in the most important primary state, the sacred, democratic opportunity to vote is almost here. Voting is one of the key electoral issues that arises during each election cycle, as we endlessly debate who can do it, where it can be done and why it should be done. Inevitably, low turnout is met with despair and the resolve to get more volunteers with clipboards and registration forms out on the street next year. But what is lost in this discourse is the electoral reality of political apathy -- the root cause of low voter turnout -- and its cause.
Approximately 35 students attended the Dartmouth Progressives' second annual Activism Workshop on Saturday.

There were four different one-hour workshops: Event Planning, which taught students how to create, fund, advertise and run an event; Grassroots Activism, which explained how to start a new organization; Working With The Big Boys, which discussed how to intern with an established organization; and Activism 101, which discussed the logistics of overseeing an organization.

A school is often defined by its surroundings -- Dartmouth has owned substantial amounts property in New Hampshire aside from the Hanover campus since the Second College Grant in 1807. The College goes one step further and invests a portion of its $3.092 billion endowment in real estate funds as part of its fiscal strategy.
Because the College is not in session on Sept. 11, the memorial was scheduled for the month of October. Organizers then moved the memorial to Collis from the Green because of rain.

At 8 p.m. on Oct. 21, applause swelled inside Spaulding Auditorium as Anoushka Shankar settled onstage and began to tune up. The enormous 20-fret instrument rose taller than the renowned sitarist herself.
Under the leadership of president Casey Ley '07, the six returning members of Dog Day hosted auditions for 50 talented applicants during orientation. Based on their ability to embody characters and interact with others on stage in a dynamic way, Ben Gifford '10, Tanner Tananbaum '10 and Tyler Quinn '10 earned the status of "puppies," new members of Dog Day. Ley explained, "Improv can be a slow burn and these three were on fire the longest." Initiated as a puppy last year, Annabel Seymour '09 raved that the new litter is "fantastic."
