His green Converse high tops have white laces. His green-and-white striped socks are pulled up over his green-and-white striped wind pants, which are layered underneath a pair of athletic shorts -- one leg green, the other white. On the back of his white t-shirt, in green letters, is the slogan: "One College. One Tradition. Victory." Green leis adorn his neck, and a green cowbell hangs from a Dartmouth ribbon. His cheeks are painted with white and green stripes. A green bandana holds back a shoulder-length wig -- one half dyed white, the other green. He is screaming. And screaming.

Men's lightweight crew looks to build off of last year's invitation to the prestigious Henley Royal Regatta.
(10/23/07 5:14am)
The Head of the Charles is the largest two-day regatta in the world, with some 7,500 rowers competing each year in 55 different events. It is run over a 3.2-mile course from the Boston University DeWolfe Boathouse near the BU Bridge upstream to just past the Eliot Bridge. Crews row one at time against the clock and the times are compared to determine the "Head of the Charles," the best crew in the regatta. The course winds around a couple of bends in the river, making it an interesting race for the coxswains. Last year the event is estimated to have drawn a crowd of over 300,000 spectators over the two days of competition.

Big Green sailing squads could not capitalize on the momentum of strong finishes in the Captain Hurst Bowl.
(10/23/07 5:13am)
In the A division, Ben Sampson '08 and Betsy Bryant '08 sailed well to a fifth place finish. Veteran Luke Hathaway '08 and sophomore Sarah Freihofer '10 also found a way to sail into a fifth place finish in the B division. The steady winds and cool temperatures played into the hands of Big Green sailors who finished slightly behind first place Boston College and second place MIT.

We, the residents of 9 Prospect St. (Liz Kolleeny '08, Anna Stone '08, Ty Moddelmog '08, Lauren Penneys '08, Ursula Grisham '08, Emmett Knox '08 and John Fleischer '08), are usually huge fans of Maggie Severns-O-Neill's words of wisdom in her weekly column "Cheat Sheet." This week, however, I feel as though she led the Dartmouth population astray.

Guys wearing laminated placards are stealing bright red sirens, while fellows with bad haircuts are walking past mustachioed lunchbox wielders. Yes, it's that time again, folks. The signs and symbols of pledge term are all over campus, heralding the initiation of yet another class into the ranks of the Dartmouth Greek system. Recent articles published in these very pages reveal that the number of both male and female pledges this year has gone up. Without question, Dartmouth Greek life is stronger than ever. But what might explain the compelling force that drives new rushes to pledge each year? When asked, students often offer the same hackneyed responses we've all heard before: because all your friends did it, to increase your social capital, to meet new people, etc.

Or that's the basic idea. And make no mistake; it's a good one. What do Americans love more than watching other Americans behave like idiots purely for our own entertainment? And watching this feat ignominiously achieved via guitars and KISS make-up? Add to this riff-driven joy a refreshing cast: host Daniel Bowden, New Zealand's version of Ryan Seacrest; Johnny Rzeznik, the forever-young frontman of the Goo Goo Dolls; Sheila E., the requisite female softie prone to self-conscious antics and Dick, a condescending Brit appropriately named. And oh my! Our hearts are all aflutter. These people have connections to the likes of Pearl Jam, Prince and Ringo Starr. So obviously, this show must equal orgasm in D minor, right?

The parents of Lindsey Bonistall, a 20-year-old sophomore at the University of Delaware who was violently raped and murdered in her off-campus apartment in May 2005, have founded a non-profit organization dedicated to off-campus student safety in her memory, the New York Times recently reported. The mission of the new nonprofit, dubbed "Peace Outside Campus," is to promote the safety of college students who live in off-campus housing. Chapters of the group are being founded at colleges throughout the country, and are initiating mentoring sessions dubbed "Teens in Transition," during which college upperclassman offer high school seniors guidance on living safely on their own. The foundation also offers "Living Off-Campus 101," a safety guide, and is in the process of developing a off-campus housing certification program.

When Fred Whittemore '53 Tu'54 was a member of the Glee Club at Dartmouth, he had the chance to work with legendary choral composer Robert Shaw for one afternoon. In those two hours spent with Shaw, Whittemore learned more about music than he had at the rest of his practices combined, he said.

A small group of students met Friday in Haldeman Hall to launch a Dartmouth chapter of a nascent organization called the Student Movement for Real Change. The group, which targets poverty-related issues around the world, was founded three years ago and has chapters at over 30 universities.

The Monday after a big weekend's "Toe to Toe" is always one that promises to be entertaining. Last spring, after Green Key weeekend, Hodes and I had a "Pong vs. Beirut" showdown. Needless to say, Hodes went down in flames that Monday -- I'll admit, I still, to this day, cannot figure out what possessed Hodes to argue the notion that Beirut is a superior game to Pong, especially considering the school we attend. Anyway, I digress. This week's column debates a topic central to Homecoming -- that is, which is a bigger Homecoming event: the bonfire or the football game?

It's never too late to reflect on the weekend's festivities, so Schmidley and I decided to stretch the limits of what can be deemed a sports column. While you're reading this in a post-Homecoming haze, think of your fondest memory from the past few days. Perhaps it involves playing one too many games of pong or finding the right person on a sweat-filled dance floor, but as your Homecoming hangover begins to wear off, you'd probably give one of two answers: bonfire or football.
