On next week's episode:
In the past few months, Dartmouth has seriously upped its facetime in the media. In its spew of movie and television appearances, the College has pulled off the student equivalent of walking the Foco runway in a sexy formal dress, arms linked with a hot date.
Verbum Ultimum: Shaming and Naming
Since last Sunday, heads have been turned by posters signed by "Daughters of Dartmouth," which highlight sexist acts committed by male-dominated groups on campus. In contrast to previous efforts at addressing gender issues, such as the "Bitches in the Basement" forum, this group has anonymously -- and blatantly -- attacked those groups it feels are responsible.
'Polly, Wanna Think for Yourself?'
Fellow students, it has come to my attention over the course of the first half of our current academic term that we have a serious problem on our hands here at Dartmouth. Some of you are probably thinking that this piece is about to descend into yet another tirade on the matter of the alumni lawsuit. Since I still don't know any of the details of that situation, I can assure you, the following paragraphs will be nothing of the sort. Rather, the issue on which I focus our attention is one of "parroting" in the classroom. If you're not entirely sure what I'm talking about, then keep reading. Your coffee can wait.
Dartmouth equestrian squad riding roughshod over region
While the majority of the student body may not have heard, the Dartmouth equestrian team has quietly put together one of the most successful seasons in recent memory over at Morton Farm. The Big Green has finished no worse than fourth in any show this year, and has been on a roll winning the last two shows, at home over Homecoming and at the Mt. Ida show.

Dartmouth will try to rebound from a tough loss to Harvard this weekend.
Big Green football is ready to dominate in final games
From a statistical standpoint, the Big Green was a mediocre team last weekend. The Crimson bested Dartmouth in nearly every major statistical category on both sides of the ball.
Daily Debriefing
Some dyslexic children could be helped to develop more normal brain responses and become better readers without actually reading, according to a new study coauthored by Elise Temple, a Dartmouth professor of education. Difficulty reading, a symptom typical of dyslexic children, can be the result of the brain's inability to keep up with rapidly changing sounds. Using a dyslexia remediation program called Fast ForWorld Language, the study's participants were able to better their reading abilities after eight weeks of one-hour sessions. The system had the children differentiate between different sounds to develop their brain's response. The study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to analyze the brains of 22 dyslexic children and another 23 with normal reading ability. After completing the remediation program, the children's reading scores were within the low end of the normal range.

Gretchen Gerzina took over as head of the English Department in July 2006. She is the first African-American female English chair in the Ivy League.
Gerzina awarded Oxford visitor post
Behind the mahogany-paneled doors and plastered walls of the English Department's offices in Sanborn Hall is the office of professor Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina, chair of the department since July 2006. Gerzina succeeds Peter Travis and on the door of her office hangs a small blue sign: "Enter at your own risk. My room is full of English majors." Her bookshelves are filled to the brim with 18th- and 19th-century novels, including authors from Wharton to Wilde, as well as three different versions of Emily Bronte's classic, "Wuthering Heights."
Frat row sponsors Halloween events
As the Dodecaphonics sang their last verse in front of Kappa Delta Epsilon sorority, the small hands of their audience began to clap along, and with the last lingering note a high pitched exclamation of "That was awesome!" rang out. It might not have seemed so different from a typical a capella event except that the audience members were about half the size of Dartmouth students and were dressed as ghouls, princesses, vampires and the occasional Harry Potter.
Safety and Security to upgrade radio system
In an effort to improve communication among College departments, Safety and Security is currently taking the final steps to upgrade its 30-year-old radio system, according to Bonnie Hafer, Facilities Operations and Management director of systems and administrative services. Zoning laws and budgeting issues have complicated the installation of a new system for the last seven years, she said.

As New Hampshire State Rep. Maureen Mooney R-Merrimack considers proposing a bill which would force Dartmouth to yield some control of its charter to the state of New Hampshire, Dartmouth's relationship to the state government is coming into question.

The nine students accused of stealing the exams reportedly entered Hanover High School after classes for the day had ended.
No plea agreement for Hanover High kids
A plea agreement for the nine Hanover High students accused of stealing exams in June was rejected October 22 by the Lebanon District Court. According to the resulting court order, the agreement would have allowed the students to plead to a misdemeanor charge that could be reduced to a violation if they complied with other terms specified in the sentencing.

Cultural Learnings of America
I always thought that growing up in the lesser-known country of Singapore automatically made me culturally aware. I measured the amount I learned from a country in relation to how exotic and unique that country was. A well-known and developed country like the United States would surely have nothing to offer in terms of broadening my understanding of the world.
Hillary: Don't Cry For Me, Cristina
Consider us the more sophisticated half of the Western hemisphere if you must, but this past Sunday night South America managed to beat us to the punch: the progressive political milestone the majority of the world's countries have yet to reach. Enter Argentina's first female president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. While her election alone is newsworthy, Cristina's presidency is also quite notable because the president she is replacing ia no regular old Joe; instead, it's her husband, Nestor Kirchner. Imagine that: The new president is the old president's wife, and the position of "first man" is born. Letterman and Leno would have a whole new bag of tricks to work with. It sounds like the stuff of a good soap opera, but hey, America: We could be next.
Hodes: Embrace our winter wonderland before it's too late
Why do we come to Dartmouth? Well, according to the always helpful and oftentimes controversial "Ask Dartmouth" feature on the Dartmouth website, 20 percent of students come to play varsity sports. Okay, so I'm in the four out of five who doesn't.
