Clouds of particles floating in space may affect the strength of magnetic fields protecting the Earth from cosmic rays, according to research by Dartmouth professor Hans-Reinhard Mueller.

In the race for the 1st Congressional district, incumbent Rep.

Homecoming is a special time at Dartmouth College, a time of bonfires, not frat fires (never forget the PHIre); couch-crashing, beer-drinking, girlfriend-stealing, Boloco-crowding alumni; and heavily-attended sporting events. Even Kanye West reminisced about Dartmouth Homecoming in his 2007 ballad Homecoming' "Do you think about me Flo-Oh-ren? Do you think about me Flo-Oh-ren? 'Cause I'm comin' home again, comin' home again." (Best Rapper of All Time.) West is unfortunately not performing at this year's festivities because of an acne outbreak. But fear not Upper Valley and north New Jersey, Homecoming will still be Legendary.

I have a confession: I came to Dartmouth partly because of its prestige. I appreciate that it is a member of a remarkably well-known group of universities. I enjoy that people have heard of it and are impressed when I tell them that I go to Dartmouth. This is not the only reason I came here; it is not even the primary reason. I love the atmosphere, the D-Plan, the class sizes, etc. Among all of these incentives to attend Dartmouth, though, is also prestige. In a recent column ("The Problem with Prestige," Oct. 22), Yoo Jung Kim '14 states that prestige is "often arbitrary, subjective and dependent on conventional wisdom." In reality, though, colleges obtain international prestige through years of academic excellence, and in the real world, this reputation matters.
Walking past Dartmouth Hall this Wednesday, I couldn't help but notice three jack-o-lanterns sitting on the front steps of the building. My initial appreciation for this seeming show of festive spirit instantly vanished, however, when I approached the pumpkins and saw the appalling depictions of various sex positions. As angry and disgusted as I was that some students might think this constitutes acceptable behavior, I wasn't nearly as surprised as I should have been. Perhaps this was because of the other experiences I had with the College's licentiousness during just the few weeks I had spent on campus.
