Walking on Eggshells
Phew. What a weekend. Dartmouth football managed to score two touchdowns and still not cover a 35-point spread. Despite boasting the three best golfers in the world in Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk, the United States still managed to get clobbered for the third consecutive Ryder Cup. And for the second week in a row, the New York Giants still haven't figured out that football games are not only played in the fourth quarter, but in the first three as well.
Reiley qualifies for Nationals; sailors win Western Series at home
On the shores of Lake Mascoma, beautiful weather often means no wind. Just like a baseball team in an endless rain-delay, the sailors spent the early part of their season praying for enough wind to make practice possible.
Time for Dartmouth to Move On
I congratulate The Dartmouth's Editorial Board for its excellent editorial on the proposed new draft constitution which aims to restructure Dartmouth's alumni organizations to, among other matters, enable greater alumni participation in governance of the College (Verbum Ultimum, Sept. 22).
The Tradition of Early Admissions
Harvard University recently announced that it is ending early admissions beginning with fall matriculants in 2008. That decision has prompted editorial praise from The New York Times, the Chicago Sun-Times, USA Today and The Atlantic online, among others.
Daily Debriefing
Rutgers-Newark University recently appointed Annette Gordon-Reed, class of '81, to its faculty. Gordon-Reed will begin teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate levels in the American History and American Studies departments in the spring of 2007. Her research interests focus on the role of race in American history. After graduating from Dartmouth, Gordon-Reed earned a law degree from Harvard in 1984. She has been a professor at New York Law School since 1992, a position which she will retain during her time at Rutgers-Newark. Gordon-Reed first gained recognition for research she conducted about the relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings, one of Jefferson's female slaves. She is the author of "Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy" and is currently working on a new book titled "The Hemings Family of Monticello: A Story of American Slavery" to be published by W.W. Norton next year.
Company seeks to digitize colleges
A new web company promises to make receiving updates about classes through Blackboard, staying in touch with friends and even checking for empty washing machines easier for students at some universities.
Lack of voters forces SA to postpone resolution
After members waited outside the meeting room for roughly 10 minutes until Safety and Security arrived to open the door, the Assembly was forced to postpone discussion of the only resolution on the agenda -- the Constitutional Amendment to Rename the Diversity Affairs Committee -- due to a time shortage as well as the fact that not enough voting members were present.
Dartmouth hosts summit on stem cell research
Over 75 students, professors and community members gathered in Dartmouth Medical School's Kellogg Auditorium Tuesday afternoon for an interdisciplinary summit on the controversial topic of stem cell research.
Seventeen years later, dean moves onward
Furstenberg said he intends to leave at a time when the admissions and financial aid offices appear to be successful and stable.
Suspicious blog posts traced to House aide
Laura Clawson, a post-doctoral fellow at Dartmouth, uncovered last Thursday that a House of Representatives staff member had made misleading posts on liberal blogs in an attempt to deter New Hampshire Democrats from working on the campaign of Democratic congressional candidate Paul Hodes '72.
Season trends continue with London Fashion Week
No matter the price of fuel or the level of terror, designers and tastemakers are eternally jetsetting off to the next catwalk, eternally irrelevant in their own stylish way. From Sept. 18 to 22, Fashion Week moved to London where over 50 designers sent models traipsing through tents at the National History Museum. Maybe the British Fashion Council, which owns and organizes the event, felt this added some semblance of gravitas to weigh down artistic flourishes in silk and gauze. With this, my second article focusing on the spring 2007 ready-to-wear collections this month, I feel a little more frivolous than usual. Hence the slight cynicism and my recent penchant to tote around thick, pretentiously-titled tomes. But back to fashion.
Arts exhibition showcases work by College employees
Dartmouth students are probably not aware that the Night Security Guard at the Hood Museum creates art in his spare time. Or that the Kiewit Computing technicians have a country/blues/bluegrass band that rocks out, or that the Development Office has its very own improvisational comedy group.
The Dartmouth women's golf team endured a disappointing weekend at Princeton, following its solid season opener with some serious struggles.
The field hockey team weathered a barrage of Boston College shots this past weekend. While Dartmouth did give up five goals, Allison Weinstock '10 scored and Jordan Sedlacek '09 recorded 20 minutes of shutout goaltending.
Students involved in the new program Project Preservation uncovered and restored a Holocaust grave site while in Druzhkopol, Ukraine this past June.
Women's golf stumbles to ninth place finish at Princeton
The lone bright spot in the tournament for the College was the future of the program, as Sunny Zhang '10 finished with the lowest score for the Big Green.
Eagles soar over Big Green in weekend blowout
Despite the lopsided loss, head coach Amy Fowler was not discouraged by her team's performance, especially in the first half.
Why a "No" vote is best for Dartmouth
To the Editor:
Intolerance of Difference
Proponents of the new constitution have set aside arguments of merit, advancing instead two arguments: that we should adopt the new constitution because a task force worked hard on it for a long time and that a group of "radical dissidents," as Peter Fahey '68 wrote in The Dartmouth ("Five Reasons to Vote and Vote Yes," Sept. 21), represents a "radical cabal [trying] to take over the Dartmouth board," as he wrote in a recent e-mail to alumni.
