Students commemorated lives lost on the Mexican border in a "Day of the Dead" event on Sunday, Nov. 4. The evening, co-sponsored campus organizations including Collis Governing Board, Por Latinoamerica and La Alianza Latina, celebrated the traditional Latin American holiday Dia de Los Muertos. In honor of the holiday, which pays homage to the dead, organizers built an altar in dedication to those who lost their lives while crossing the U.S.-Mexican border. Rocio Magana, the Cesar E. Chavez fellow of the Latin American, Latino and Caribbean Studies program, gave a presentation on border-crossers and their deaths with pictures and stories before leading a discussion to add a human element to the immigration debate. The event also featured traditional Latin American food and a performance by the professional tango dancer Keysi Montas during the event.

After graduation, many Dartmouth students flock to jobs on Wall Street, travel abroad in search of themselves or head home to regroup. But a certain wise-cracking percentage of graduates take themselves a little less seriously and choose a more offbeat calling: comedy.

Unfortunately, as much as the Hood Museum tirelessly advertises its excellent art events, attending a lecture on American glass is simply not at the top of most people's Saturday to-do lists. Surprisingly, it should be. This past weekend's guest lecture "Treasures of American Glass through Four Centuries," by Kirk Nelson, executive director of the New Bedford Museum of Glass and a leading expert on American glass, was highly educational in the best possible sense, but also visually engaging and interesting to boot. Nelson's obvious enthusiasm for his subject kept the audience involved through a combination of striking images and anecdotes ranging from yard sale finds to Czechoslovakian forgery scandals.

Menomena will rock Fuel this Thursday as the term's highest profile band.
(11/05/07 5:36am)
"The music is accessible, but not to the point of triviality -- it will be interesting to students with all degrees of musical interest," Booking Manager Andrew Berry '08 said. Despite his reassurance, some students may hesitate to go, thinking, "Gosh, Fuel is darker than a basement and without the familiar waft of excrement -- how will I ever feel comfortable there?" Others may look at Menomena's indie moniker or "experimental" label and write off the show as one big hipster self-congratulation fest. Dartmouth, don't let fear, intimidation or passive aggressive jealousy of the "scene" dissuade you from seeing the biggest show of the term.

The freedom of speech is one of the most basic and integral concepts in liberal democracies. The free exchange of ideas, which forms the foundation for college and university education, could not exist without the guarantee of this freedom. But all speech is not free.

Our military is stretched thin. Allies are needed in the war against terror, yet we are turning them down. The United States' opposition to Turkey's planned invasion of Iraqi Kurdistan is hypocritical and rooted in poorly thought out America-first policy.

State Rep. Maureen Mooney, R-Merrimack, is moving forward with plans to introduce a bill "relevant to amending the charter of Dartmouth College."

Six University of South Carolina students and one Clemson University student were killed early Sunday morning when a fire started in the beach house where they were sleeping. Six of their friends also in the house were able to escape with minor injuries. The group, comprised primarily of members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and of the Delta Delta Delta sorority, was vacationing for the weekend in Ocean Isle Beach, a resort town in North Carolina. Investigators have determined that the blaze began on a rear porch before rapidly spreading to the second story and consuming most of the two-story home. They are still working to determine what started the fire. Authorities told the Associated Press that they have been able to notify friends and relatives of most of the seven students killed, but the identities of the victims will not be released before Wednesday.
