Taylor Stevenson '10 the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party candidate for the seat for Brainerd, Minn., in the state senate was defeated by Republican Paul Gazelka in Tuesday's midterm elections, according to the Brainerd Dispatch. The district is under Republican control for the first time since 1972, according to the Dispatch. "This was just a bad year for Democrats. Everyone was taken off guard by how massive sentiments were on the other side," Stevenson told The Dartmouth. Gazelka won the district with 51.5 percent of total votes polled, also defeating write-in candidate and current state Sen. Paul Koering, the Dispatch reported.

Upon exiting the polls at Hanover High School on Tuesday, a friend turned to me and said, "There's something really wrong about what just happened." I was a bit confused all we had done was exercise our civic duty to vote. She proceeded to explain to me that she knew only the most cursory and obvious details about American politics, and that her understanding of the substantive distinctions between Republicans and Democrats was murky at best. Her point was that democracy sounds great in theory, but when the common voter lacks a grasp of basic civics, the entire premise of popular rule is undermined. This got me wondering: how many citizens went to the polls this week lacking the fundamental knowledge necessary to make informed political decisions?

Relax and stop fretting. The Dartmouth football team did indeed lose the Homecoming game. Yes, it was a brutal game and at times, it seemed like Harvard was scoring out of nowhere. However, take it easy. Compared to two years ago, the team is doing phenomenally. And don't forget that the Dartmouth football team is still in its first season of running the plays from new coaches Jim Pry and Don Dobes. There is a bright future, and nobody said the process was going to be an easy one.

The men's lightweight and heavyweight rowing teams finished 11th and 12th, respectively, in the Princeton Three-Mile Chase race this past Saturday. Despite not being as significant a meet as those that the Big Green will compete in during its regular Spring season, the regatta featured some of the best teams in the college crew circuit, including Syracuse University, Cornell University and the Navy.

The other day, I ate a banana. I ate this banana on the way from my room to the library. Pretty simple act, right? Unpeel, eat, dispose. At least I thought it would be simple. What I found out about this seemingly normal action horrified me.

This week's Mirror is about Forums (capital "F" because WE MEAN IT). This seems serious. If I make fun of it, I'll probably be the cause of the next discussion. However, I like that Forums make us reassess our behavior. Well, so does Homecoming. Thus, I offer you a quiz to discover your Big-Weekend-Emotional-Age (duh). I felt it was time for a quiz because, a week later, you're still trying to remember how to read/process-non-alcoholic-beverages and also because the Sorting Hat Facebook quiz is dominating my Mini-Feed.

We have too many forums at this school.

I can think of no other issue plaguing Dartmouth that so urgently begs forum discussion and student action than the egregious misallocation of iMacs on first floor Berry.

What does it take to get Dartmouth students riled up? There was much talk and little action in the wake of recent Hanover Police initiatives and the closing of the beloved swim docks on the Connecticut River. In the past, however, activism rather than apathy was the norm.

There are a few things that are consistent about every term at Dartmouth and campus controversy is one of them. I admit that because of my work with The Mirror I probably spend more time than most looking back over our College's history; but it's full of forums, I promise. However the word seems to have recently taken on negative connonations just think back to recent blitzes describing events not as forums, but opportunities for open discussion instead.Whatever that means.I believe that there are many issues at our school that need to be addressed, but change takes more than conversation.
