It's Always Snowy in Hanover
Get yourself to Providence, R.I., on Saturday. Save the excuses. I don't want to hear about your moderately long government paper or a capella rehearsal or that the trippee reunion you've been talking about since freshman Winter is finally happening. It's Saturday. Act like a normal person and save your work for Sunday after the second airing of "How to Make it in America." Borrow a car. Rent a car. Steal a car. Whatever you do, make sure you're in Providence on Saturday at 4 p.m. when the men's soccer team takes on the Brown (Turds! Got 'em!) Bears in a winner-takes-all matchup with the Ivy League Championship hanging in the balance.
Daily Debriefing
An Association of American Medical Colleges panel finalized its proposal to redesign the standardized test required for medical schools, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported Tuesday. The new test, which will likely be used from 2015 to 2030, aims to attract aspiring physicians savvy in both practical skills and bedside manner, according to The Chronicle. The proposals will emphasize medicine's psychological and social aspects by adding sections on the fundamentals of behavior and on analytical and reasoning skills. These sections will cover topics including ethics, psychology and population health, The Chronicle reported. The test's writing section was eliminated due to its lack of consideration by admissions officers and received an updated natural sciences section. The panel released its recommendations Tuesday after collecting data from 2,700 surveys and 90 outreach sessions, The Chronicle reported.
N.H. students graduate with most debt in U.S.
While New Hampshire college graduates recorded the highest levels of debt in the nation last year averaging $31,048 in student loans statewide the College maintained one of the lowest state averages, with $18,712 in loans for its graduating seniors, according to a Nov. 3 report conducted by the Project on Student Debt, a division of the non-profit group Institute for College Access and Success. Director of Financial Aid Virginia Hazen said the College's loan average may be even lower than the report indicated, and questioned the reliability of the study.
D-H to lay off up to 100 employees
Up to 100 jobs will be cut from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health's payroll by next January in order to close a $100 million budget deficit at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, DHMC Director of Media Relations Rick Adams said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Cost-cutting initiatives enacted this fall, such as early retirement plans for eligible hospital employees, were not enough to balance the budget, according to Adams.
Vandals deface ground floor of Fahey-McLane
Homophobic and derogatory remarks were scrawled on a window on the ground floor common room in the Fahey-McLane Residence Hall early Sunday morning, according to Rohail Premjee '14, who discovered the writing at approximately 3:15 a.m. that day. The vandalism, which was located adjacent to the gender-neutral floor, has spurred concern in the bisexual, gay, lesbian and transgender community. Gender-neutral hall residents are worried that the incident reveals negative undertones towards LGBT students on campus, various residents said in interviews with The Dartmouth.
SamulNori draws on Korean traditions of dance, percussion
SamulNori, which means "to play four things" in Korean, incorporates four traditional percussion instruments: the kkwaenggwari, a small gong made mainly of brass, the ching, a large gong that is struck with a padded stick, the changgo, a leather drum in the shape of an hourglass and the puk, a barrel drum made of hollowed-out wood and leather skins.
Early decision pool rises to 1,800
The College received 1,800 early decision applications for the Class of 2016, setting a new record and marking a 2.6-percent increase from last year, Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Maria Laskaris said in an interview with The Dartmouth. The number already exceeds the 1,754 early decision applications submitted for the Class of 2015, but is expected to increase as several additional applications, in particular those sent by mail from international students, "trickle in" over the next few days, Laskaris said.
Colaneri: Not My Problem
College President Jim Yong Kim has encouraged Dartmouth students to do great things in many of his speeches. The catchphrase that has been repeatedly emphasized is a statement originally made by former College President John Sloan Dickey: Students should "make the world's problems their own. Every time I hear this quote, I find myself wondering, what exactly does it mean?
Francfort: In Favor of Fracking
It's no secret that the United States has an insatiable need for energy. We were the second largest energy consumer in terms of total use in 2010 and 86 percent of this energy is derived from fossil fuels. Many people see this as a grave problem, one that may even come to define our generation. President Barack Obama spells out very clearly on the White House's website that, "as we recover from this recession, the transition to clean energy has the potential to grow our economy and create millions of jobs but only if we accelerate that transition. Only if we seize the moment." But while clean energy, including such renewable energy sources as solar and wind, is likely the fuel source of our future, that future is many years away. If we truly want to grow our economy and create millions of jobs while also becoming energy independent, we must turn to natural gas for our energy needs.
Several derogatory phrases were written on the windows of the ground floor common room in the Fahey-McLane residence hall.
Guerillas fight against clamshell waste
Their words have been chalked on the sidewalks and typed in blitzes – Guerrilla Green has a message to share. By writing, “Recycle your clamshells!” in obvious places around campus, Guerrilla Green hopes more students will recycle the plastic take-out containers from the dining halls. Several students behind the effort shared their goals and ideas in an interview, but the group has chosen to work anonymously so as not to tie their actions to an existing identity. The name “Guerrilla Green” reflects their aim to get their message across in innovative ways. “Guerrilla Green is about creative communication and occasionally edgy tactics,” one leader explained. The idea is to encourage students to take very simple actions to reduce waste and to facilitate those actions by offering information. The clamshells are the first of a series of projects the group plans to pursue. They declined to discuss future objectives and said that the group is still evolving. In addition to written signs, Guerrilla Green has been communicating with students through an anonymous email account: big.green.guerrilla.green@gmail.com. Some students have already e-mailed in questions and leaders of the effort hope to hear more feedback about the environmental issues students want to learn more about. Several students interviewed said that they recycled their clamshell containers prior to the campaign. Others, who normally do not recycle the containers because of leftover food, said the campaign made them question this choice but that they were still unsure about how clean the clamshells must be for recycling. Leaders of Guerrilla Green confirmed that the containers are recyclable with any leftover food on them that cannot easily be scraped into compost. Keep your eyes open for more action from the group this winter term.
Kaling '01 explores social concerns and paranoia in new book
Do you ever roam the halls of the Choates awkwardly wandering by floor pregames and wondering if your evite got lost in the mail? Mindy Kaling '01, Dartmouth grad and hilarious actress who plays Kelly Kapoor on "The Office" (and writes for it too!) wonders about stuff like this, and honestly so do a lot of Dartmouth students. Kaling has actually been pretty social lately, chatting with everyone from NPR to Newsweek in anticipation of her new book "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)." The '01 is getting lots of national attention and we're looking forward to grabbing a copy of her work, which hit shelves on Nov. 1. If you're feeling down, just remind yourself that people at Dartmouth got here by being that girl/guy that was far too busy to even take a coffee break from studying. It's probably not personal that all your "lunch after 12s anyone?" texts go unanswered, but just in case it is personal, I recommend putting a "Missing" poster up of yourself and see if anyone calls you to be sure that your friends still care. Mindy would be proud of you. <="" img=""> Courtesy Of Amazon
