Educators and regulators discussed distance-learning programs and the potential for students to be taken advantage of by unscrupulous program providers in a meeting in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. Each state regulates distance-learning individually, with no centralized system, The Chronicle reported. Advocates for change argue that the current structure, which requires educators to manage a complicated system of regulation and accreditation, is inappropriate for modern technology particularly the Internet, which is now the dominant communication medium for distance-learning. State regulators told The Chronicle that state regulations are necessary because states must oversee student complaints and faculty qualifications.

YouTube videos about prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment perhaps unsurprisingly are not reliable sources of information, according to a study published by a team of Dartmouth researchers on Oct. 8. The paper urges urologists to steer their patients toward more reliable online sources of information or to "produce information-rich and unbiased videos and upload them to YouTube."

College Provost Barry Scherr who will step down on Oct. 26 announced this summer that the College would review the structure of the Dean of the College's Office prior to a national search for a permanent dean. That task has in many ways fallen to acting Dean of the College Sylvia Spears, who has said she will work to compare Dartmouth's Dean of the College structure to that of peer institutions.

A new federal law will allow college students with serious health conditions to take a one-year medical leave without losing their health insurance. Before the law went into effect on Oct. 9, college students had to be enrolled in classes full time to retain coverage under their parents' health care plan.

One day I'm going to write a memoir. Hopefully I'll be middle-aged, rich and successful by then. Maybe I'll even have servants who will fan me with palm leaves while I consult with the members of Good Charlotte about the difficulties of being white and upper middle class. They seem to know a lot about that. The most important thing I'll do when I write this memoir, however, is lie a lot.

I think I figured out a solution to the disaster that is the Greek rush system here at Dartmouth: We should just have a fantasy draft.

For those on campus who have been waiting with bated breath for an opportunity to talk anonymously about other students, wait no longer Bored at Baker is back. For all who don't know, Bored at Baker is a live gossip blog where all the posters are anonymous. Anybody can go on at any time and write anything he'd like, and his comment is immediately posted. This means that some pretty real tidbits get posted, as well as some egregiously false ones and everything in between. Basically, besides its humor value I'll admit that I've laughed at a couple of posts Bored at Baker is one of the worst things to happen to Dartmouth's social scene in recent memory, turning a normally warm environment into one where rumors are spread and feelings are hurt.

I never assumed that the stereotypical Republican would like Sweden. Let's face it, the country is European, socialist and largely atheistic, all qualities that American right-wing politicians abhor. Still, I never thought that Republicans would try to tear down an immensely beneficial Swedish institution like the Nobel Prize simply for political gain. By now everyone has to have heard about Obama's Nobel Peace Prize; I tend to agree that the Nobel Committee took a not-so-subtle potshot at former President Bush's foreign policy, but it is incredibly unjust (and quite absurd) for the Republicans to seize this opportunity to crucify the Nobel Committee (run by the Norwegian Parliament) by labeling it "an anti-American committee." It is astonishing and embarrassing that they believe that undermining the legitimacy of an institution that has rewarded intellectual greatness for over a century is worth five points in the next Gallup poll.
