Seniors spur women's soccer over UNH
On the University of New Hampshire's Senior Day, it was the Dartmouth seniors that had a field day. With seniors scoring both of the Big Green's goals, the No. 13 Dartmouth women's soccer team broke its one-goal win spell on Wednesday afternoon. The Big Green (10-3-1, 4-0 Ivy) defeated in-state rival UNH Wildcats (5-10) in a dominant 2-0 effort at Lewis Field.
Sedlacek unable to save field hockey
Dartmouth's field hockey team could not reverse its bad fortunes on Wednesday evening, losing to the University of Vermont 4-2 at Scully-Fahey Field. Jordan Sedlacek '09 had a big night in goal for the Big Green (3-9), but her career-high 10 save performance could not keep the Catamounts from handing Dartmouth its fourth straight loss.
Controversial goal the difference in soccer loss to Eagles
Keeping his word after the 2-1 win against the University of Pennsylvania on Sunday, Big Green head coach Jeff Cook fielded the best players he had available, without giving his starters a break before the "game of the season" against Columbia on Saturday. However, this task required a lot of creativity, as the Big Green was missing five first-team players due to injuries, including a full defensive line-up.
Athletic director reprimands football program, extends apology
Athletic Director Josie Harper released an official statement Thursday reprimanding the Big Green football program for its role in the post-Homecoming altercation which took place after Holy Cross defeated Dartmouth 24-21 in overtime on Oct. 14.
Fiction and fear-mongering
To the Editor:
Justice, Due Process and Sexual Assault
The recent debate over Student Assembly's Committee on Standards Student Task Force Report raises a number of very serious questions about undergraduate judicial proceedings at Dartmouth. The task force, a Student Assembly initiative consisting of seven students, produced a slate of eight recommendations for the consideration of the Dean of the College. While most of these changes were procedural, The Dartmouth Editorial Board found one reform to be particularly contentious -- namely, to allow for the accused student to question the witnesses directly, including the accuser. The Dartmouth Editorial Board enthusiastically endorses all of the COS Task Force's recommendations, with one caveat, which will be discussed below. We urge that Acting Dean of the College Dan Nelson and his future successor act upon these recommendations as a whole to improve the Undergraduate Judicial Affairs Office and to correct the radical departures from due process by which Dartmouth students are currently judged within the Dartmouth community. These reforms are crucial -- not to reduce the number of cases processed by COS, as Director of Undergraduate Judicial Affairs April Thompson suggested in a letter to the editor in The Dartmouth ("Responsible Behavior," Oct. 19), but to ensure that all cases proceed according to a fair and just standard.
Daily Debriefing
The Hindu student association Shanti plans to light 1,500 lamps on the Dartmouth Green to celebrate Diwali. At the celebration, which begins at 5 p.m. on Oct. 21 in Rollins Chapel, a cleric will lead participants in puja, or prayer. At 6 p.m., members of Shanti will proceed to the Green to light the lamps. Diwali, meaning "line of lamps," is a major holiday for Hindus as well as Jains, Sikhs and Indian Buddhists. It celebrates the victory of good over evil through the story of the god Krishna and his wife Sathyabhama and their triumph over the demon Naraka. Shanti, which includes roughly 150 members, is made up of undergraduates, graduate students, staff, faculty and Upper Valley community members. It convenes weekly for services in the Hindu temple of Rollins Chapel.
Foxall '03 works to aid war-torn Afghanistan
With the exception of a couple of bars in Montreal, Devin Foxall '03 had never traveled outside the country before graduating from Dartmouth.
Wilson speaks on enviro. legal fight
Diane Wilson lived a quiet life in her town of 15,000 people on Texas' Gulf Coast. But even though she had her boat, her bay and her fishing, she said she knew something sinister lurked in the bay's waters.
WISP kicks off year with orientation programming
Women have been traditionally underrepresented in the percentage of science, math and engineering degrees awarded at colleges across the country. While this gender gap is shrinking, it is still a problem at Dartmouth. The Women in Science Project, which attempts to change this statistic and sponsors programs like the Peer Mentoring Program, held its kickoff orientation event Thursday.
Arson rate higher at Dartmouth

Livin' La Vida Loca(L)
Sadly, my relationship with New England produce would be classified by Facebook.com as "open": I have been caught getting "jiggy" with Michigan peaches and, dare I say it, California avocados. Lately though, I've been thinking that it might be time for "the exclusivity talk." How did I come to this enlightened, mature decision? Just check out the four varieties of apples from Vermont's Riverview Farm at Foodcourt. Or sample some of the local farm-raised, grass-fed beef at Homeplate's grill. You won't be disappointed.
Alice Unchained: Hoco Po-Blot
Wednesday's police blotter, complied by Dane Schlossberg '07, described several incidents of lawlessness that went down in Hanover this Homecoming. Unfortunately, Detective Schlossberg had to work within a word limit and was therefore forced to exclude a handful of reportable events from his blotter. Anxious to avoid the task of inventing original material this week, I volunteered to run the Po-Blot overflow in my column.
Dartmouth Listed:Why we have it so great
Quiz! Which group had a more awful sense of timing: the people who scheduled Homecoming right before midterms, or the '09s who rushed Kappa? It's a toss-up, but at least Homecoming will still exist next year. (Man up, KDE: Campus needs a New Coke.)
Dudes on Parade: God is Pissed
For a long time on campus I played rugby for the DRFC. Then this year, after burning Norwich University to the ground again (look it up), their team decided to take revenge on us by ripping my knee in half. They did not quite succeed; they just managed to dismantle my anterior cruciate ligament and implant some device in my eye-duct that made it produce some wet, salty substance that tasted like high school prom. Naturally, it's been a tough start to senior year.

Damn, It Feels Good To Be A Foleyite
At this moment, I am in a very awkward position. Although I have committed to write an article about the best kept secret on campus, I am reluctant to state all the wonders of Foley House for fear of losing my spot in the spring. That's the beauty of 20 West Street -- once you discover it, you wonder where it's been all of your Dartmouth career, but you also gain the desire to keep it a secret from the general public.

Glad you had a good Homecoming. Kudos on getting drunk, making out on some dance floor, throwing beers at that skinny kid in the Zeppelin T-shirt. Awesome.
