During my summer term in the Gambia, West Africa, one particular moment stands out to me that reveals the evolving perception of sports on the continent. My Gambian friend and his father were intently watching the final minutes of the Senegalese basketball team's game on television. Every time Senegal missed a shot or gave up a basket, they exhibited the same bouts of frustration that my father and I regularly experience watching New York Jets football games on Sundays. In a country where soccer is by far the most popular sport, I found it quite surprising that a basketball game seemed to draw out such strong emotions. It's a sign that basketball, more so than any other American sport, is successfully expanding its reach into Africa.

On Wednesday, The New York Times published an unflattering portrait of the status quo here at Dartmouth. It was no secret that the Times' higher education reporter was visiting campus last week.

At the very least, one would think they'd be functional. Unfortunately, when it comes to Greenprint, apparently this is too much to ask. With inadequate numbers and locations of stations, an even scarcer supply of actually operational stations and a software system riddled with problems, Greenprint is wholly unreliable and deficient in meeting the needs of Dartmouth's student body.

Seuss scholars criticized Senator Ted Cruz’s reading of “Green Eggs and Ham” as part of an analogy denouncing Obamacare in his all-night speech last Tuesday, according to an NBC News article last week. “Seussologists” criticized Cruz’s inclusion of Theodor Geisel ‘25’s children’s book in his diatribe, raising the point that the short story features themes of open-mindedness and compromise.

Howard University president Sidney Ribeau will step down at the end of this year after internal controversy over the school's financial health, The Washington Post reported. His retirement announcement follows the university's drop in national ranking and credit downgrade. During his five-year tenure, Ribeau renewed all of Howard's 170 academic programs, started a $200 million facilities renewal initiative, expanded Howard's international footprint and bolstered the University's focus on leadership and service. Provost Wayne Frederick will serve as interim president while the Board of Trustees conducts a national search for a new president.
