The Kahurangi Maori Dance Theatre, a performing arts group from New Zealand, was honored at a dinner held in Collis Common Ground Sunday.

The Academic Honor Principle is one of the central tenets of any legitimate university in this country, and Dartmouth is no exception. By and large, students know that if they get caught cheating, plagiarizing or lying in their work, suspension or even expulsion will not be far away.

Professors. You see them in the lecture hall or seminar room. Occasionally, you'll bump into them in the library between classes. You never see them in frats. So what do they do when they aren't listening to us bullshit our ways to inflated grades? Well, in addition to being smarter than all of us, some of them are better people than us too. I guess you can't win.
Increased household expenses and decreased home values have limited American families' abilities to save for their children's college tuition, according to the Bloomberg news service. Parents report that they can only pay 21 percent of their children's college bills -- a three percentage-point drop from last year. With total college expenses estimated at $120,000 for current high school seniors, few parents can afford to handle the costs without previous savings. Families can save for college without paying taxes by using special education or state-sponsored 529 plans. These plans do not greatly impact access to financial aid, and half of parents who reported saving for their children's college education invested in 529 plans or similar accounts, according to Bloomberg. Despite the availability of these plans, more than a third of families have decreased their college savings, contributing to a 15 percent investment decrease in these plans, according to Investment News.
