Original Sports Clichés
I thought I might start my first column of the new school year with a little introduction. At least one-fourth of my potential readership has never even heard of me, while for the rest of you, it's possible, nay probable, that you've forgotten the heights of sports columnist excellence that I carried to this paper to last year. So here I am: I'm Max Schwartz. I write a weekly column called Original Sports Clichs. Feel free to e-mail me with congratulations, questions or other comments.
Men's soccer ready for title defense
"We feel confident about our record so far but not satisfied," goalkeeper Rowan Anders '07 said. "We know that we have the potential to be a top team nationally and are not going to be satisfied with anything less." The Big Green, winner of the 2005 Ivy League title, opened its season competing in tournaments in Hanover, New Haven and Berkeley in head coach Jeff Cook's sixth season at the helm.
An Ill-Legal Philosophy
When our country's fundamental laws were written based on the ideals of fairness and democracy, our founders could not have envisioned that there would one day be a president, the guarantor of these legal protections, who understood himself and his administration to be above and thus exempt from the very laws their elected and appointed positions require them to protect. Furthermore, our wigged predecessors could not have imagined that one day the executive branch would hold the same "legal philosophy" as a king, tailoring the laws of society to justify the actions of its leader. Yet here we are in 2006 with a president who holds this exact view -- or perhaps "contempt" is a better word -- of the law and is carrying out his philosophy in ways that are destructive to America's perception abroad.
Five Reasons to Vote, and Vote "Yes"
I've spoken with a lot of alumni friends about the upcoming vote on the revised constitution for alumni organizations. Everyone has been bombarded by detailed arguments on both sides of the issue. If you get down in the weeds on the issues, it is easy to get confused. I'm also sure that most students are too busy to explore all the issues. Yet perceived student opinion can also affect alumni opinion. It is therefore very important that students come to the right conclusions too. Students will not vote, but the vote will affect their future.
Remembering Steve
On Sept. 4, while shooting footage for his eight-year-old daughter's television show, Steve Irwin, "The Crocodile Hunter," was killed by a stingray, one of the ocean's most docile and harmless creatures. For whatever reason, none of this news makes sense to me, even weeks later. I understand how Irwin died and I understand why it was such a big news story. What I don't understand is how Mother Nature's sense of humor is dark enough for a punch line of this timbre.
Daily Debriefing
Police recently apprehended two university professors, L. Scott Ward and David Watt, for sex-related crimes.
New website to better reflect needs of College
After nearly eight months of construction, Dartmouth launched its new homepage in August. The website, which features a photo display that changes every time the page is reloaded, was designed to make it more accessible to prospective and current students, parents, faculty and alumni.
Home Plate aims to be waste free
The no-waste project is the first of its kind at any university, according to Sustainability Director Jim Merkel, who was the driving force behind the changes. To help students become accustomed to sorting their dining waste into trash and compost bins, Merkel placed educational posters and displays outside Homeplate.
AGTF panel addresses student, alumni qualms
Three representatives of the Alumni Governance Task Force attended an information session hosted by the Student Assembly Wednesday night to answer questions about the controversial proposed alumni constitution.
Evolving Vox makes move in easier
D'Souza and Groetzinger developed the business after they realized the impracticality of investing in quality furniture that would only be used for their senior year.
Amped campaign draws varied Alumni voices
As the debate heats up and voting, which opened last Friday, continues on the Association of Alumni's proposed constitutional changes, many alumni have been barraged by a stream of letters, e-mails and phone calls supporting or opposing the new constitution.
Evidence Dance Company showcases unusual repertoire at the Hop
When celebrated American choreographer Ronald K. Brown founded Evidence in 1985, he envisioned a company that would explore the cultural experiences and legacies of the African Diaspora through the medium of modern dance, which Brown has amplified into a language all his own. Infused with the flavors of hip-hop and ballet, Brown's style ranges from subtle to emphatic, from elegiac to exuberant. As Jennifer Dunning of The New York Times affirms, "He is an artist who never stands still: His work is full of change and exploration." Nevertheless, Brown resists "art for art's sake" by defining success according to his impact. "I am interested in sharing perspectives," he explains. "If you stir an audience, move them, inspire them, that shifts them to feel warm with each other and share a sense of community."
Superb acting creates buzz for 'Little Miss Sunshine'
The buzz surrounding "Little Miss Sunshine," the feature film debut from husband and wife directing team Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, has been hard to avoid. A Best Feature win at the Sydney Film Festival, a standing ovation at the Sundance Film Festival and the subsequent sale of the film's distribution rights to Fox Searchlight at one of the highest prices a Sundance selection has ever commanded -- clearly, this movie is an attention-getter. It also doesn't hurt that the film's stars, including Frat Packer Steve Carell and Academy Award nominees Greg Kinnear, Toni Collette and Alan Arkin, are box office draws in and of themselves.
Tom Bennewitz '08 completed 14 of 22 passes for 102 yards in Dartmouth's 28-7 defeat at the hands of the Colgate Red Raiders on Saturday.

Football fumbles season opener
"Last year was not what we wanted," co-captain and nose tackle Mike Rabil '06 said about Dartmouth's 2-8 campaign in 2005, which included a 1-6 mark in the Ivy League. "We must keep focused and remember our goal is to win an Ivy championship."
Big Decision, Small Coalition
Every year, around 1,000 students choose to attend Dartmouth over other schools. For that reason alone, why is it not obvious that they might actually like it here? Unfortunately, a cabal of alumni -- and their student lackeys -- hold the misguided notion that a majority of students currently at Dartmouth are dissatisfied with the state of the College.
