Accessories are my absolute obsession! Why are accessories important (and addicting)?
Dear Chris and Anna,
Oh, living off campus.
As many students forsake dormitory life and begin to "play house" in off campus residences, the meaning of "sophomore summer -- no parents!" becomes even more apparent. Off-campus houses strike the perfect balance between the autonomy undergrads crave (the freedom to eat anything at any point, have gratuitous sleepovers, leave beds unmade and throw parties whenever the urge strikes) without getting into too many of the "real world" icky realities (homeowner insurance, house maintenance and repair, and (gulp!)a job and steady income).

As the world awaits the outcome of the Tour de France winner's backup urine test, it appears that no matter what result the lab finds, the controversy and underlying problems will remain. Regardless of the awaited results, the Landis situation typifies the crisis damaging professional sports and the imperfect solutions being applied.
Bordeau, a 1998 Princeton University graduate, helped the Tigers to win the national collegiate championships in 1995, 1996 and 1998. He served as a team captain in his senior year.
As I sit in the Fourth Floor of Berry Library attempting to create something coherent, I'm having a problem I often seem to have: what issue to tackle? If I choose something broad (world affairs, national issues), aren't the same topics being debated in more prestigious forums and newspapers throughout the country? What type of authority do I have to offer a solution, since my expertise is minimal at best? Fortunately for all of you, that isn't the purpose of this column. The purpose is my personal questioning of the role of this beloved newspaper.
With the Democratic National Committee's recent proposal to change the calendar of state presidential contests, many here at Dartmouth have speculated on how the new system will affect the political climate here on campus.

A team of Dartmouth researchers has been selected to share in $2.3 million of NASA funds. The researchers will conduct studies that will facilitate auxiliary missions on a larger mission that will launch in 2012. Dartmouth's portion of the research will focus on "mechanisms that will cause the Earth's radiation belts to periodically drain away into the planet's atmosphere," according to a statement. The College is sharing the funds with researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Central Florida, Orlando, who have been assigned to conduct different studies in the same project. NASA has also provided $100 million in funds to be split between four teams of researchers conducting studies and supporting hardware for the main portion of the mission.
