Reaching over his right shoulder, arms fully outstretched, Dartmouth’s top receiver hauled in a perfect pass from Dalyn Williams ’16 last Saturday in the Big Green’s season opener against Central Connecticut State University. Up in the air and with a defender clinging to his back, the man in the green number two jersey managed to touch his foot down just inside the sideline for what would be the game-winning touchdown. After months of frustration and waiting, Ryan McManus ’15 was back.
On a week-long break in Hanover while hiking the Appalachian Trail, this hiker (trail name Tootsie Roll) and his kitten Duncan (trail name Owl Pellet) have been spotted around campus. Owl Pellet has been hiking the trail on his owner’s back for 10 weeks, starting when he was only two weeks old.

The start of senior year has been stressful. There’s simply no way around it, and every passing interaction I’ve had with fellow students has reinforced the tension. Much of the stress, unsurprisingly, stems from jobs and hiring. While some were lucky to have job offers from summer internships, applying for jobs is overwhelming for the rest of us. Not only is the post-grad job search competitive — cue fears of indefinite unemployment — but we all face a major tension between finding a job that is suited to one’s passion and having a stable income.
