Racing against several of the best teams in the country, the Dartmouth men's and women's cross country teams both secured top-10 finishes at the Pre-National Invitational over the weekend.
Fareed Zakaria, editor-at-large of Time magazine and a CNN correspondent, will speak at Harvard University's Commencement ceremony, The Harvard Crimson reported on Friday. Zakaria was chosen because he is "an unusually creative and incisive thinker in the realm of international affairs," Harvard President Drew Faust said in a statement. Zakaria, who obtained a PhD from Harvard's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, was described by Esquire Magazine in 1999 as "the most influential foreign policy adviser of his generation," The Crimson reported. Comedian Steve Carell, who played Michael Scott on the popular TV series "The Office," will speak at Princeton University's 2012 Class Day, The Daily Princetonian reported. Carell won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Comedy for his role on "The Office" in 2006, according to nbc.com. "National media have crowned him as the funniest man in America we could not agree more," Lindy Li, Princeton's Class of 2012 president, said in an email to the senior class, The Princetonian reported.
The teams were well-matched throughout the 70-minute contest despite the team's lopsided score. The Big Green (8-5, 3-1 Ivy) tallied 28 shots in the game 15 in the first half and 13 in the second but only managed to score once as Yale sophomore goalie Emily Cain made 13 saves.
Students hoping to pick up packages have encountered longer wait times at the Hinman Mail Center this term, as the mail center is facing difficulties sorting through an increased number of packages and sending emails to students notifying them that packages have arrived, according to Hinman Mail Center Postmaster Karen Hautaniemi. These obstacles have largely been caused by the relocation of some students' Hinman boxes due to ongoing construction at the Hanover Inn and the BlitzMail-to-Microsoft Outlook Services transition that muddled some of the mail center's current computer programs, Hautaniemi said.
Dartmouth will join forces with arts and poetry education center The Frost Place to help fund the residential fellowship that is awarded each year to an emerging American poet, according to English professor Cleopatra Mathis. The Dartmouth Poet in Residence Program will operate every summer beginning in July and will allow a poet to spend two months writing poetry while living at The Frost Place, poet Robert Frost's former farmhouse in Franconia, N.H.
Barbara Barnett GR'13, the associate chair of medicine and director of clinical operations at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, said she was at work about 15 years ago when she first realized just how scarce information on health care delivery had become. Barnett, now one of 47 students in the inaugural class of the master's in health care delivery science program operated through the Dartmouth Center for Health Care Delivery Science, said she enrolled in Dartmouth's graduate program in order to fill this knowledge gap.
The Dartmouth men's tennis team continued its impressive play this weekend at the ITA Northeast Regional tournament. Five of the team's six single players, as well as two double teams, advanced to the 32-player round. Brandon DeBot '14, Chris Kipouras '15 and Cameron Ghorbani '14 all upset their first round opponents to move on to the smaller bracket. Kipouras and Ghorbani each needed three sets to finish off their opponents, while DeBot cruised past Princeton University sophomore Augie Bloom, 6-2, 6-4. Dartmouth's second-seeded single players, Xander Centenari '13 and Michael Laser '12, also advanced. The Big Green's fifth-seeded double team of Centenari and Laser won their opening match, setting up a showdown with ninth-seeded Princeton. The six-day event, which is hosted by Cornell University this year, finishes on Tuesday.
The group, which initially consisted mostly of Students Stand with Staff members, began its occupation last Thursday in response to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's announcement of Occupy Wall Street's impending eviction, according to Karenina Rojas '13.
Holy Cross dominated possession throughout the game, holding the ball for over 38 minutes and gaining 522 yards of total offense. Dual-threat senior quarterback Ryan Taggart led the Crusader attack with 250 yards passing and 176 yards rushing. Dartmouth focused its game plan on eliminating Taggart from important plays, forcing the Big Green to concentrate on containment more than its own blitz attack.
As Joey explains, his hotel job sucks and he wants to quit. Something a lot of people can relate to, right? However, most people probably don't choose to break the news to their bosses with a marching band accompaniment. The band, known as the "What Cheer?" Brigade, is a 19-piece ensemble complete with tubas, drums and a variety of horns. As Joey waits in anticipation in the employee wing of the hotel to confront his boss and announce his intention to quit, he is surrounded by a cheerful percussion-wielding crowd. The camera pans around the disma-looking facility as he waits. At long last, the petulant hotel manager comes in to tell them all to leave, Joey announces that he quits, and the band launches into its song, complete with enthusiastic cheers of "Joey Quits!" The song will be sure to reverberate in Joey's boss's eardrums for days. You can't help but admire Joey's style.

Eleven student-writers and directors were up late Friday night real late. The students were brainstorming, writing and producing five original plays for WiRED, the 24-hour playwriting event that culminated in a performance at 8 p.m. on Saturday night in a packed Bentley theater.
The night began with a compilation reel of Macdonald's films, starting with "One Day in September" (1999) and ending with a sneak peek of his next film "Marley" (2011). Afterwards, Macdonald received the Dartmouth Film Award from Hopkins Center film director Bill Pence.
Last week an editor at The Daily Caller, a Dartmouth '91, reached out to current students as a part of his advance research on protest or flash mob action taking place on campus to coincide with the Republican debate. I had to laugh mirthlessly. I wrote him back to say that the real story was either the student body's apathy, or the unfocused goofiness and lack of the real biting coherence of their occasional protests of the issues that our country and generation demand. If efficacy in change is our aim, we ought to find new ways to accomplish progressive goals. The old tactics are almost useless.
As many have heard, the Occupy Wall Street protest has come to Dartmouth. When I was driving by Collis at 7 a.m. last Friday, I got the chance to see the protest in action three hooded figures were sitting on the grass in the pouring rain to support the cause. While I applaud the passion of these students, I believe that their actions, as well as the actions of those around the nation, are largely misguided.
