Daily Debriefing
The nationwide shift from purely need-based financial aid to merit-based funding has decreased the percentage of all aid given to students from low-income families, according to a report realeased Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics. Between the 1995-1996 and 2007-2008 school years, the proportion of students in the highest family income quartile receiving need-based aid rose from 13 to 18 percent, while the proportion receiving merit-based aid rose from 23 to 28 percent. Over the same time period, the proportion of students from the lowest family income quartile receiving need-based aid declined from 41 to 37 percent, while the percentage of students receiving merit-based grants fell from 23 to 20 percent.

Savenije: Why I Occupy
I am an American. But I was not born in America and I am not a U.S. citizen. While here at Dartmouth, I made mistakes and got in trouble with the law. So when I graduate and leave America, it is all too probable that I will never be let back in.
Francfort: Occupy Washington
With the one-month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street protests having come and gone, no end for the movement is in sight. In fact, it seems that not a day goes by without reports of citizens voicing their displeasure at the greedy businessmen and women of Wall Street for the tough economic times our country is going through. But the source of these protestors' anger is misplaced. If they want a scapegoat, they should try packing up their bags and heading from Zuccotti Park to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., the true source of our high unemployment rates and faltering economy.

Hockey hopes to continue growth
There's something funny about coming back to this place after long periods of time away. Last winter, I took my longest break from Hanover since I started here. I did not return to campus once between mid-March and late September (I arrived right on time for Orientation). Having spent Spring abroad in Argentina and Summer in New York, I can confirm that life exists outside the bubble. But I also had distinct moments of longing for Dear Old Dartmouth. By the time I got back to this place, I was giddier than ever to be here. The sensation must be similar for the alums. There's a certain timelessness to this place and it feels good to be home.
