One might think that given the war on terror, America's interests in the Middle East and the general world scene, that Arab language specialists might be important to the U.S. Army. And thus, it is with great puzzlement and concern that I note the honorable discharge of 30-year-old Sergeant Bleu Copas of the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg.

With the demise of Tubestock, a hallmark of sophomore summer for the past 20 years and an event that students have looked forward to since freshman fall, many sophomores feel that a right of their summer was taken away from them. In an attempt to fill the social vacuum left in Tubestock's wake, the 2008 Class Council has rolled out, to mixed reactions, a terrestrial-based alternative: Fieldstock.

Dartmouth Dining Services recently ended the sale of Dartmouth Water while they look to find a new bottler. DDS has severed their relations with Cornucopia Beverages, a subsidiary of Coca-Cola of Northern New England, because Cornucopia demanded a switch from 20-ounce bottles to more-expensive 24-ounce bottles. Meanwhile DDS will continue to sell Dasani, Coca-Cola's main line of water. While both products are connected to Coca-Cola, Dartmouth Water was traditionally distinguished from Dasani because it came from a local spring. DDS sells about 40,000 bottles of Dartmouth Water each year, according to DDS Director Tucker Rossiter. Rossiter added that he plans to put Dartmouth Water back on the shelf by Fall term.

"A Scanner Darkly" is one big train-wreck of a movie, but at least it's a marvel to look at. Initially shot in live action, the film's 100 minutes of footage were subsequently slaved over by a team of animators who painstakingly colored in each frame, turning the movie's washed-out urban landscape into a startlingly realistic cartoon. The resulting images are composed of monochromatic planes that never quite blend, but instead slide together to create an alien visualization of reality that's nothing short of mesmerizing. If the film's arresting imagery had been put to the service of an equally compelling storyline, "A Scanner Darkly" would have been a masterpiece. Alas, the listless sci-fi psychodrama hiding beneath the visuals' liquid beauty reveals itself to be devastatingly mundane.

A couple of nights ago, I decided to procrastinate on my homework and call up one of my friends from my hometown. We had a pretty normal conversation, with me telling her about my classes, and her telling me about how she and the rest of her family were having a great time on vacation in Miami (sigh). When she casually asked me about what I was doing this weekend, I mentioned that along with being ragey (obviously), I would be working at Consent Day.

A new record electrical power peak demand was likely to be set in New England on Wednesday according to John Gratiot, associate vice president for Facilities Operations and Management. He sent a BlitzMail message to about 20 colleagues around campus earlier this week to notify the community. The message, which was also posted as an FO&M BlitzMail bulletin, urged Dartmouth community members to minimize power usage between noon and 5 p.m. on Wednesday in order to help keep the New England peak demand down, which would in turn "save money in the Dartmouth energy budget." Gratiot said in a BlitzMail message to The Dartmouth that New England was expecting a peak load of 28,500 Megawatt Hours but it only hit 28,000 MWH. "It looks like the plea I, and others, got yesterday may have made a difference," he said.

Summer term is the busiest season at the farm, a time when students toil away growing crops and organizing various farm-related activities for the community.
