With an overall annual price of $57,996, Dartmouth was ranked the country's seventh most expensive college by the college news blog Campus Grotto, climbing six places from last year's report and 35 places since the 2010-2011 school year. The website's sixth annual "Most Expensive Colleges" report aggregated tuition, fees and room and board from colleges' websites in late September. The College's cost is the second highest in the Ivy League, falling just behind fourth-ranked Columbia University.

Aside from implementing random walkthroughs of Greek houses by Safety and Security officers, an updated definition of hazing and harsher penalties for rule-breaking, the College's new alcohol and hazing policy has also prompted sweeping changes in Greek organizations' new member education programs. While many students acknowledged that the new policy has resulted in some student benefits, most agreed that it failed to address the most important aspects of hazing.

The King's College Board of Trustees accepted D'Souza's resignation, effective immediately, to allow him to "attend to his personal and family needs," according to a King's College press release.

Human beings are rational creatures. Dartmouth students are no exception. Driven by logic and motivated by common sense, we seem to be equipped with an inherent cost-benefit analysis mechanism that enables our decision-making process. As such, if the rewards do not exceed the necessary effort, a cause is essentially dead in the water. In politics, such a phenomenon is known as rational abstention, by which voters who know that they will not make a difference in an election choose to remain rationally ignorant, for how could awareness of an unsolvable problem be conducive to anything productive? Ignorance is not only blissful, but sensible, for being the lone voice calling out in the wilderness can end in isolation.

This year, Dartmouth saw the highest return on its endowment of any member of the Ivy League to report its returns, doubling its benchmark growth rate ("Endowment sees 5.8 percent return," Oct. 16). This is certainly a commendable feat. However, over the course of the last decade, our education has become less and less affordable. The increases in Dartmouth's tuition and fees and total costs of attendance have drastically exceeded those of most of its peer institutions ("College ranked seventh most expensive," Oct. 19). The College now boasts the 11th-highest tuition in the country and ranks seventh for total cost of attendance with room and board included, moving up from 40th for tuition and fees and 36th for total cost in the 2009-2010 rankings. Columbia University is the only member of the Ivy League whose costs of attendance exceeded that of Dartmouth. Given the success of our endowment this past year, we see little reason why Dartmouth's tuition should be increasing at such a staggering rate.

Much to my chagrin, I always seem to be on the wrong side of a rivalry. The Dodgers always start the season with the best record in baseball before inevitably losing the National League West pennant to the San Francisco Giants. When the future finally started looking up for my beloved Los Angeles Clippers, their hallway rivals decided to assemble the NBA's closest incarnation to a Barca-esque super team. I'm even on the wrong side of Dartmouth's lopsided rivalry between affiliated and unaffiliated students. But through it all, there was one athlete that the battered American sports fan could always fall back on, whose victories were both inspiring and frequent. Sadly, the true character of this man was only recalibrated with reality after a spectacular fall from grace. As it turns out, the Lance Armstrong we thought we knew never even existed.

The Big Green (3-2, 1-1 Ivy), which is currently tied for fourth place in the Ivy League, will play its final four games against Ivy League teams.

You go to the Heorot highlighter party.
Some freshman sets off the alarm by going out the front door of 1902.
You check your phone and it's 2:11 a.m.
Lose your jacket with your keys, phone, wallet, passport, a family heirloom and your dignity.
You leave the highlighter party alone.

Whether you're at the library, in a frat basement or arguing on the phone with EBAs about whether or not meatball pizzas are actually a thing, you'll see students out and about at essentially any point in the night. Talk to the right people, however, and you'll find that we at Dartmouth truly go above and beyond the "work hard, play hard" college cliche. Ranging from a cappella and dance auditions to Dog Day Players' 12-hour improv marathon, a wide array of student groups have organized activities that persist until the wee hours of dawn.

The deranged individuals at CNN Money that rated Hanover as the sixth best place to live in America were obviously off of their collective rockers have you seen how unsafe this town is? These people failed to realize that plaguing the clean streets, the manicured Green and the stately buildings are college students who act as if they are roaming around a playground that simply never closes.

Every Saturday, I work from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. at the Berry Information Desk. When I signed up for this shift, I thought it would help me actually get work done and thwart my Saturday night propensity to rage. Of course, these were both clear delusions: I neither go out on Saturdays nor do I manage to get anything done. Except writing my Mirror articles, of course.

The Class of 1902 Room, one of just two areas in Baker-Berry Library that is open 24 hours a day, is one of the most polarizing rooms on campus. Many hate it, but it also has an incredibly loyal fan base of those who frequent the room every day and at all hours.

For many Dartmouth students, the word "all-nighter" immediately ups their adrenaline and increases their heart rate, bringing back strung-out, caffeinated memories. Others can only imagine what it would be like to be deprived of sleep for an entire night, panic and hit the books. For the lucky ones, the word only brings up fond memories of shenanigans with their friends. Our parents, professors and The Stall Street Journal constantly remind us that cramming is the least effective way to study, that we need a good night's sleep before an exam to perform our best. But there are those who swear by using all-nighters to study.

Dear Gardner and Kate,

The recent increased corporate presence on Main Street Hanover inspired me to explore some of the town's oft-forgotten small businesses before they get replaced by a Pottery Barn or even worse a second Starbucks. I wanted to explore the unexplored, as good old Bob Frost might encourage. Plus, if these places get busted as drug fronts, I can say I've been there. And at this point in most people's Dartmouth careers, there are only so many times you can go to a classic spot like Molly's, though I'm actually really into Molly's right now because I recently came of the legal age to enjoy margs.

Although we may be in the middle of nowhere, there is no shortage of places to appease your inner glutton after the sun goes down. Whether you're hungry, bored or just searching for something to keep you busy, late-night dining provides the answer.
