Field hockey breaks losing streak
The Dartmouth field hockey team finally proved last Saturday at Yale that it could play and compete for an entire game. The only thing still missing was that elusive victory.
An Old Tradition Fails, Again
Over a month ago on this page, The Dartmouth Editorial Board wrote that alumni should only govern this College if they choose the best people for the job, and that, recently, they have failed ("An Old Tradition Fails," Sept. 7). The Association of Alumni's most recent hijinx - counterfeiting the Association of Alumni's e-mail address on a letter sent to students - only provides further evidence that the alumni are not the body able to pick the best leaders for the College.
A Time for Priorities
In his speech to the faculty on Monday, College President James Wright identified three goals for the College to pursue in the future: moving toward need-blind admissions for international students; providing one leave term where there are no earning expectations for students; and providing that, for financial aid students studying abroad, the incremental expenses will be covered by scholarship rather than by loan. He also touched on a fourth goal, one that has been especially important to students, faculty and even trustees: alleviating existing enrollment pressures in the economics and government departments. All of these goals are worthy of pursuit, and their success relies on adequate funding.
Fixing the Rush Process
Beginning tomorrow, hordes of eager sophomore men will head out to their favorite fraternities, just like any other weekend night. However, on this occasion the sophomores will not be looking to play a game of pong and meet single ladies. Instead, they will be seeking out an even more elusive target: a bid to join the house of their choice. After a mere two hours of man-flirting, most guys will shake out at their first-choice fraternity and head home to wait while the current brothers deliberate over bids, dings and callbacks. Later that night, the majority of male rushees will be invited to join one of the fraternities on campus and pledging will begin.
Daily Debriefing
The New York City Police Department is investigating a hate crime at Columbia University Teachers College after a lynching noose was found hanging on the office door of a black professor, Madonna Constantine. The New York Times reported that police are unsure as to whether the noose was left by another professor or an angry student. Columbia students have responded to the crime with walkouts and protests. Both Teachers College President Susan Furhman and Columbia President Lee Bollinger have released statements denouncing the act as one that negatively affects everyone. Constantine, who has written several books on racial interactions, is a psychology and education professor.
'Leaf peepers' begin to invade Upper Valley
They fill our hotels. They crowd our restaurants. They jam our roads with the slow, deliberate paces of their coach buses.
Betsy Bryant \'08 unloads the dishwasher at her off-campus, senior-year apartment.
Many seniors prefer off-campus life
When invited to live off-campus this year, Ty Moddelmog '08 immediately jumped at the chance. Like many seniors, Moddelmog has taken the opportunity to spend his last year at Dartmouth living in a house with a close network of friends.
Women's mentoring program revitalized
Starting life at Dartmouth can be an exciting but overwhelming experience for many freshmen women. That's part of the reasoning behind the formation of Link Up, a new mentoring program to help freshmen women adjust to college life by pairing them with senior women mentors.
The new greenhouse at the organic farm will offer 10 months of locally grown produce and has been completely designed and built by students.
Organic farm builds greenhouse

Jimmy's Big Mistake
The symbols of the chivalry of times past were men clad in shining, polished armor who would do away with religious dissidents with sweeping blows from their swords. Today, however, it would appear as though the public proponents of many worthy causes are missing this romanticized mark due to maligned intentions that are exposed in less than flattering manners. Former President Jimmy Carter, the diplomat of our age, is a prime example.
Emmylou Harris performed last at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival.
Bluegrass festival preserves San Fran's free spirit
The HSB festival, funded by venture capitalist and amateur banjo player Warren Hellman, began in 2001 as a strictly bluegrass festival. But because the festival performers represent more diverse musical genres every year, the word "hardly" was added to the title in 2003. This year's lineup included names like John Prine, David Grisman, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Rickey Skaggs, Bruce Hornsby and Emmylou Harris.
'Book Club' offers delightful drama for Austen fans
What would Jane Austen think of "The Jane Austen Book Club?" Ever the satirist of romantic pretensions, would she wrinkle her nose at the film's goofy sentimentality? Or would she take one look at the parade of adorably lovelorn characters and smile with affectionate solidarity? More likely, she would recognize the film as an elaborate form of flattery. Made by lovers of Jane Austen, "The Jane Austen Book Club" is as much an admiring tribute to the author as it is a delightful dramatization of her enduring fan base.
No varsity letter required: the virtues of physical education
Another week and another column sans Schmidley. Okay, so I should probably start by apologizing for last week's playoff predictions -- here's hoping Colorado lets me save a little face. More importantly, I've got good news for all my loyal fans. In addition to Toe-to-Toe, I'll be writing this column on a weekly basis. All three of you can now rejoice.
Football has only one win, but some other Big Green squads have gotten off to hot starts this fall.
