Dartmouth's three coeducational fraternities -- Alpha Theta coed fraternity, Phi Tau coed fraternity and The Tabard coed fraternity -- have all accepted new members this term as campus-wide rush activities wrap up this week. As of Wednesday, Alpha Theta had extended 19 bids, Phi Tau had extended six and The Tabard had extended nine. Each organization's official membership will depend, however, on how many students accept bids and whether more students choose to rush later in the term.

I began laughing the moment I opened the thin, innocent-looking envelope. Someone, or perhaps more than one person, had anonymously mailed me a photo of an inside joke from my DOC Trip, scrawling various one-liners on the outside of the envelope. A melange of memories accompanied the photo -- not showering for five days, awkward moments from living in the wilderness, and how five days in the New Hampshire-Vermont forests transformed a group of nine strangers into a family unit.

My little sister recently sent me an angry Facebook message with a link to a Wall Street Journal opinion column. The column posits that the "feminist narrative about men being responsible for the oppression of women" is wrong, because, in fact, what women do all day is oppress each other ("Lipstick Jungle," Sept. 26). One anecdote about Tufts, where my sister is currently a freshman, did nothing to prove the point: One time at Tufts, a female editor-in-chief published a controversial joke about rape (or, a comic strip?) in the Tufts Daily.

The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication Vioxx may increase the risk of stroke and heart attack one year after patients stop taking the drug, according to a recent follow-up study by a group of researchers that includes Dartmouth Medical School professor John Baron. The original study determined that the drug was an effective anti-inflammatory agent that also reduced the risk of colon cancer, but had cardiovascular side effects. According to the follow-up study, which was recently published online by The Lancet medical journal, the drug doubled the risk of heart attack and increased the risk of death by 31 percent for one year after the trial ended. These results suggest that even for patients with no known risks of cardiac issues, the prolonged use of any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication increases the risk of heart attack. Rofecoxib, marketed as Vioxx by Merck & Co., was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1999, but was recalled after a major study discovered that taking the drug for three years doubled the risk of cardiovascular side effects.
