The Power Rankings

(11/23/09 4:00am)

With football ending its season, and its legitimate chance to end up in the top half of the Ivy League with a loss Princeton this weekend, Dartmouth's fall sports season has just about wrapped up. There were plenty of good moments the football team redeemed itself somewhat, although it failed to meet my three-win prediction. The field hockey team went to town on the record books. The men's soccer team brought the Greatest Show on Burnham Field into the national spotlight. The women's soccer team stared down most of the Ivy League, winning overtime thrillers and putting up big numbers. And the rugby team absolutely embarrassed the Ivy League, setting a new standard for how to win.

Exec. links environmentalism, justice

(11/23/09 4:00am)

The environmental movement is deeply rooted in notions of ethical responsibility and the development of strong communities, Peter Forbes '83, the co-founder and executive director of The Center for Whole Communities, said in his Friday lecture, "Social Justice and Environmentalism: Bridging the Gap." Although environmental protection and social justice are often approached separately, neither can be fully solved until they are considered together, Forbes said during the lecture, held in the Rockefeller Center.


Scholars offer differing opinions on patriotism

(11/23/09 4:00am)

"After September 11, there was a lot of discussion of what it meant to be patriotic," Dartmouth government professor Michelle Clarke, who helped organize the conference, said in an interview with The Dartmouth. "The question that wasn't being asked is whether or not patriotism was valuable at all, and whether or not we should try to be patriotic in the first place. The purpose of the conference was to air some of those concerns."
