Women's hockey looks to contend on a national level
Any team that begins its season with two overtime games is bound to have an exciting year. With a 4-3 win over Vermont and a 5-5 tie against Boston University, the women's hockey team has certainly opened the 2007-2008 season in electrifying fashion.
'Darjeeling' bursts with cuteness but lacks meaning
This film reminds me of the windowsill above the sink in my mother's kitchen. She keeps strange things there: shells, chestnuts, a small voodoo doll (me) inside a jar of salt. There's usually a changing array of newspaper clippings, quotes from poems, old photographs. The windowsill is a shrine.
The Barbary Coast will perform improvised arrangements with jazz great Butch Morris as their conductor.
Barbary Coast and Chamber Singers to perform Friday
This Friday, there are actually too many ways to fill the early evening hours in Hanover. The Barbary Coast Jazz Ensemble and the Dartmouth College Chamber Singers will be displaying their talents in two separate shows that, judging by their very distinct rehearsals, will be as different as the Orozco murals and Wenda Gu's infamous hair.
Daily Debriefing
A plea bargain that would have reduced the charges against nine Hanover High School students accused of stealing exams from the school in June was denied by the Lebanon District Court on Oct. 22, according to The Valley News. The deal would have lowered the misdemeanor charges to non-criminal violations. "There is not an inherent power of the Court to sentence in the manner sought by the proposed plea agreement," the District Court judges ruled. Negotiations may continue up until Nov. 14, when the first student will be brought to trial.

Nobel Prize winner calls for scholarly collaboration
Nobel laureate and Montgomery Fellow Thomas Cech related the challenges of fostering interdisciplinary scientific research in his keynote lecture on Tuesday afternoon in Filene Auditorium. In the lecture, "Exploring the Edges Between Scientific Disciplines," Cech also described his discovery of the catalytic properties of RNA and his current endeavors as president of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

UND and NCAA strike mascot deal
One year after the University of North Dakota filed a lawsuit against the NCAA for banning the use of its mascot and nickname, the Fighting Sioux, the two parties have agreed to a settlement. Under the terms announced on Friday, UND will have three years to solicit the approval of the Spirit Lake and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribes to continue using the Fighting Sioux logo. If they fail to obtain permission from these tribes, they will have to officially retire their logo.
A member of the Programming Board works security at last year's Guster concert. PB was unable to schedule a major act at Dartmouth this term.
In lieu of major act, PB to host series
"We get a list from our middle manager and two open dates from Leede [Arena] after the sports schedule has been set," the board's programming chair Ann Elise DeBelina '10 said. "The Shins won our initial survey that we put out, but when we went to book them we found out they had already booked a show in Tokyo for the next night. They were apologetic and said they would make an effort to come in the spring."
College works against new endowment bill
Dartmouth is preparing to lobby against the September legislative proposal made by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, that would require U.S. universities to spend more of their endowments in an attempt increase financial aid awards.

The Glove: Understandable Apathy
Victory is always sweeter when it's against a bitter, hated rival. The Red Sox have the Yankees, USC has UCLA, Wile E. Coyote has the Roadrunner. But who is Dartmouth's rival? There isn't really a natural choice for the Big Green. Within the Ivy League, Cornell lacks geographic proximity, and I don't think Dartmouth students really care about it either. Penn's too far as well, and Columbia is too apathetic and urban. We want a rival that feels like a more comfortable fit. I don't really have an opinion about Yale, and they seem to have their own faux-rivalry with Harvard anyway. Plus the Harvard-Yale "rivalry" seems to be more about academics except for the one time a year they pretend to care about football (note to both: we're on to your scam). I wish Boston College could be Dartmouth's rival (they don't seem to have one either, since BU isn't competitive with them in most sports), but they would pretty much destroy us in 80 percent of sports, if not more.
The Big Green field hockey team salvaged a weekend split by toppling Holy Cross on the road 2-1 on Sunday.
Field hockey splits weekend games
On Saturday, Harvard put pressure on the Big Green right off the bat and struck first, less than seven minutes into the game, when freshman Maggie McVeigh pounced on a Dartmouth turnover in the circle. Big Green goalkeeper Ashley Heist '08 came out to challenge the shot, and the ball bounced around before it was deflected to McVeigh, who banged it in from the left side for an early 1-0 lead.

Adios, Gu: Never has Baker-Berry sparkled like this
Matthew Ritger '10: His curtains wrecked the catwalk facetime on First Floor Berry, so I guess I learned a lot about the more subtle nuances of the art of library-slutting. Nothing about installation art, ethnicity or globalization though. Just slutting.
