A Dorm of My Own: Cohen 101C

So a couple days ago, I was on the elliptical in the back of the gym (you know, where you go when you don't want people to look and judge you for just how low you've set the resistance). About 20 pages into Martha's Living magazine's Fourth of July spectacular issue that I had uh unknowingly and totally accidentally grabbed from the magazine corner, I found this recipe for ice cream cake that I immediately knew I could recreate using DDS food. Now, know that what I'm about to tell you I would not have done if there had actually been people around, but it was during 2As, so I figured I was safe. I pulled out my phone and called my roommate Thea out of a sheer desire just to tell someone what I had just discovered.
A few weeks ago, I promised my trippees (what up, C782?) that I would cook them all dinner. In my head, I had some pretty extravagant plans perhaps a wild mushroom risotto? Or maybe a polenta encrusted chicken? Nothing was too good for my trippees. Quickly realizing, however, that I did not have the will to walk to the Co-op, I soon accepted the reality that I was going to have to resort to Topside. Although DDS is usually my culinary realm of choice, I was somewhat at a loss. I, like most people, view my Topside meal options as a choice between instant carbs (Ramen, Annie's and the like) or what I like to call, sninner (read: snacks for dinner i.e. usually some combination of Chewy bars, Cabot, cheese crisps and Fudge Shoppe cookies). But once I actually went into Topside and began to look around, I started to realize that there is actually a lot you can do with the seemingly limited selection at Topside. So this week, I've put together some recipes for appetizers, entrees and desserts that can be made exclusively with Topside ingredients. Whether you need a break from FoCo for dinner or want to impress that girl in your Econ class with skills beyond your ability to calculate differential equations, give these recipes a try. My only piece of advice: Get your shopping done on Thursday or Friday. No one wants to be that hapless soul wandering through the Topside food graveyard on a Wednesday night.
As those who have had the opportunity to read Plato know, Socrates' archenemies were the group of professional teachers and rhetoricians known as Sophists. Socrates disliked the Sophists because they were highly educated and articulate individuals who, instead of using their skills to pursue truth and goodness, denied that such things existed. Amoral and valueless themselves, they taught their students to defend any position and argue any point, changing their views as it suited their interests. Instead of using their erudition responsibly and virtuously, they sold it to the highest bidder. Carneades, perhaps the paragon of Sophistry, is a helpful illustration of their principles; one day he gave a speech praising justice, and on the very next he refuted all his previous arguments and attacked the same.
Every year, Dartmouth publishes its latest admissions statistics and each time, it seems that the College has admitted the "most diverse class ever." But that kind of statistics-driven diversity is an incomplete metric. The roughly 40 percent of students identifying as minorities is a sign of progress. But true diversity entails interaction, engagement, mutual respect, understanding and trust a diversity of spirit that this campus unfortunately still lacks.

Protests against the British government's plans to increase tuition and cut government financing for universities became violent on Wednesday, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. Fights broke out with police when several dozen students broke into Conservative Party headquarters in central London. The student union condemned the break-in, saying the perpetrators were "violent idiots" who were "undermining" the general message of approximately 50,000 protestors. Thousands of protestors have occupied the concourse in front of the headquarters and lit a giant bonfire, the London Evening Standard reported. Britain's main student and faculty unions also organized a march. Liberal Democrats who joined with Conservative party members to create a coalition government in May had pledged before the last election in May to oppose any plans to raise tuition. The student union has vowed to hold them to that promise.
The alleged failure of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to ensure the safety of medical devices is the subject of an investigative report, "Why the FDA can't protect the public," co-authored by Dartmouth researcher Shannon Brownlee.
Kellerman, who is spending the Fall term at the College while on leave from her post at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, emphasized the importance of teaching leadership as a "holistic whole."
