Internet Meme of the Week
His name is Marcel and he is a shell. He is also the star of the YouTube sensation "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On." The short stop-motion film directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp with the voice of "SNL's" Jenny Slate is an endearing and uplifting video with all of the characteristic randomness of most videos-gone-viral. The film begins with a short introduction by Marcel, followed by a tour of his home, during which he happily explains, "I have shoes and a face, so I like that about myself. And I like myself, and I have a lot of other great qualities as well." Marcel's pride and self-love sets the tone for the rest of the film, as he demonstrates his inventiveness in using a raisin as a beanbag chair and in hang gliding on a Dorito for adventure. It is no wonder that Marcel has had such widespread success he is an uplifting and adorable conch shell that draws our attention to the happiness in life's simplicities.
Cell phone photos become fine art
"The word of the night seems to be ethereal'," Trachtman said of viewers' initial reactions to her work at the exhibition's opening reception on Saturday. At the opening, Dartmouth students and Hanover residents crowded the gallery to see the soft black-and-white photographs, blown up from their original size using Photoshop. This process of manipulating the originals results in the hazy aesthetic that characterizes Trachtman's works in the exhibit.
Filligar's latest album expands band's established sound
Yet this album should not be reduced to its familiarity to Dartmouth students. To do so would minimize the fact that "The Nerve" is an impressive accomplishment in songwriting an interesting twist on classic rock and folk that is engaging and catchy.
Daily Debriefing
The government of India has invested $1 million in a partnership between Yale University and two top Indian universities to help Indian university leaders learn American methods of academic administration and institutional management, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. The program comes in response to high demands on the Indian education system, which have led to a series of reforms. These reforms including modernization and expansion of the system will increase demand for academic leadership, Sanjay Dhande, director of the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, told The Chronicle. The partnership, which is the latest in a number of Indian projects in which Yale has participated, is expected to last for five years. Yale University also announced plans to open a school jointly with the National University of Singapore in September, the Yale Daily News reported.
Jury still deciding Hayes sentence
After three days of deliberation, a Connecticut jury has not yet reached a decision in the sentencing of Steven Hayes, who was convicted in October of the 2007 murderer of Hayley Petit, her mother and her sister, WFSB reported. Hayley Petit would have matriculated with the Class of 2011.
Casey discusses music technology
Music professor Michael Casey may have broken from the typical approach to a Thayer School of Engineering lecture when he asked audience members to make conversation while listening to the chorus of Madonna's "Lucky Star." Casey played the song to demonstrate advances in audio identification software in his lecture "From Vinyl to YouTube: Engineering the 21st Century Music Industry" in Spanos Auditorium.
Mulley chosen to lead DCHCDS
As a young attending physician, Al Mulley '70 helped a family to decide whether to perform a tracheotomy on their elderly relative with end-stage lung disease. At first, Mulley said, he tried to approach the problem quantitatively, but as he watched the family grapple with the choice, he realized they were far more concerned about quality of life than probability of survival. In the years since, Mulley has dedicated his career to ensuring that the medical decision-making process is a collaboration between health care professionals and informed families.
Gordon-Reed '81 to become new Trustee
Gordon-Reed, a history professor in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University, also holds teaching positions at Harvard Law School and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
Still Room for Hope
In the wake of last week's election results, it is now time for either despair or jubilant celebration, depending on your point of view. Many Democrats have convinced themselves that the blame for their defeats can be placed exclusively on high unemployment as well as a combination of Republican "misinformation" and "uninformed" voters. In contrast, many Republicans have convinced themselves that the American public has decisively rejected President Barack Obama and given Congressional Republicans a mandate to push their own agenda. As a result, both groups foresee two years of bitter partisan gridlock.
Disgraceful Discussion
When I read the recent column by Roger Lott '14, a reasonable call for modesty and respect in conversations about sex ("Explicit Signals," Oct. 28), I did not expect the campus to agree with him. Having written on this subject before, I am all too well aware of people's inability to see past their passionate preferences for over-sexualized campus culture. Attempts like those made by Lott to invite the campus to reflect a bit on its evangelical sexuality will inevitably fall on deaf ears.
Empowering Ourselves, one kid at a time
"I'll be honest with you I don't come to school a lot, but if we had more conversations about this, I would come to school more."
Rollin' with Dollan
If you were asked to name the top five biggest falls from grace in the public's eye over the past decade, what names would you come up with? If this was Family Feud, I'm confident the top three answers would look something like this Tiger Woods, LeBron James and Michael Vick. After that it gets pretty tough. Maybe you could argue Eliot Spitzer, but he wasn't as famous as those guys. Or even George Bush, but he was never as universally revered, or as universally loathed, as those three guys.
ONE-ON-ONE: Katie Horner '11
I sat down with Katie Horner '11 to talk about Dartmouth hockey, one amongst her many other activities on campus.
Men's hockey splits weekend against RPI, Union College
Friday's game began well for the Big Green (1-2-1, 0-1-1 ECAC, 0-0 Ivy) offense, as the team outshot the Engineers 14-5 in the first period.
Women's soccer ends season on a five-game unbeaten streak
Last week, the team had a big 3-2 win over Ivy rival Harvard University, following back-to-back wins against the University of Vermont and Columbia University. Coming off a three-game win streak the women were determined to end the season on a high note.
