The men's soccer team (6-2-2, 0-0-1 Ivy), looking to avenge an injury-plagued campaign last season, has jumped out to solid start.
After reading both Lee Cooper '09's ("Eating In," Oct. 9) and Zachary Gottlieb '10's ("Zach's Guide to Fellating Upperclassmen," Oct. 9) columns, I couldn't help but shake my head. First, because of the notable difference in how both men chose to word their responses to Aurora Wells' column ("Aurora's Guide To Eating Out," Oct. 5), and secondly because I realized that, no matter how much we try, there are still people out there who are not ready to hear a woman discuss sexuality so openly and "vulgarly."
Rejection: Thy sweet nectar never tasted so divine. Rejection is a typical part of the Dartmouth experience, since organizational elections, applications for various programs and late nights in frat basements will at one point or another make 98 percent of Dartmouth students feel the sting of the generic rejection blitz (41 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot). I certainly can't remember all the things I've been rejected from.
The Committee on Standards Task Force, of which I am a member, and which has supported this op-ed, welcomes the news that Acting Dean of the College Dan Nelson has decided to reverse his past decision to delay consideration of the task force's proposals until a permanent dean assumes office in January ("Nelson to Convene New COS Committee," Oct. 5). This newspaper reported that Nelson will authorize the creation of a COS review committee immediately. While we welcome this appropriate reversal of Nelson's past decision, we question why Nelson waited until now -- when all but one of the task force members have graduated -- to reverse his past decision, and we hope that Nelson will fulfill his promise of involving task force members in the COS review process. Furthermore, we urge those people who make up the review committee to be fully aware of the need to improve COS in light of the findings and recommendations found in the task force report.
The Rockefeller Center extended its gratitude to student volunteers for their hard work in the Democratic presidential candidates debate during a dinner held in their honor Tuesday night in Hinman Forum. Rockefeller Center Director Andrew Samwick thanked the attendees for their hard work on the Sept. 26 event. More than 220 students volunteered hours of their time for the event, running the logistics surrounding the 90-minute debate that fell on the first day of classes and turned Hanover into a veritable media frenzy.
Landscaping crews work on the amphitheater outside Novack Cafe. Campus construction projects are progressing at an expected pace, officials said.
The most prominent component of the landscaping project will be a grass amphitheater facing Kemeny Hall, which is slated to be finished this term. The new amphitheater will be available for student activities, also serving as a place for events, scheduled functions and possibly even lectures.
Those who missed the Baker-Berry Library open house held on Oct. 4 -- and possess a cell phone -- need not worry, now that library users can take a tour of the library using their cell phones, thanks to a recently introduced program.
Student Body President Travis Green '08 keeps watch during Tuesday night's meeting of the General Assembly.
"Are we going to make a statement about what's going on with the Alumni Association?" Laura Little '08 said. "I feel that what is going on is really destructive to our daily lives in ways that we can't see yet."
Former President of Ireland and Montgomery Fellow Mary Robinson stressed a societal recommitment to human rights in Moore Auditorium Tuesday.
Robinson, in her Montgomery Fellow lecture, spoke on issues including women's rights and the use of torture as a matter of global security. She drew anecdotes and insight from her various experiences as a lawyer, president and chair of the United Nations Human Rights Commission, as well as her involvement in other human rights organizations, to illustrate the issues that face society today.
With a goal to raise $43 million in time for its 30th reunion, the Class of 1978 will set a new record in alumni giving and provide for the construction of a new life sciences building, which will be named in honor of the class. Approximately $3 million will be given to the Dartmouth College Fund for general use by the College.

Deceived by my own naivete, I once thought of Dartmouth as the utopia that many of us craved to become part of when leaving high school. I somewhat foolishly believed that human corruption withered away as it entered the community of this idyllic Ivy League school. Dartmouth, to me, represented intellect and acceptance, and I decidedly believed it to be a little more "perfect" than the real world. I did not realize that Dartmouth, just as any other place, has its pros and cons. I had yet to learn that imperfections and defects can be distinctly different, and that it is up to us to decide what to include into our own community.
