With three decisive blowout victories under its belt, the football team will soon encounter its toughest challenge to date this season. In the conference home opener and annual Homecoming game this Saturday, the Big Green (3-0, 1-0 Ivy) now seeks to extend its strong start against the similarly formidable Yale University (3-0, 1-0 Ivy), who represents one of the larger obstacles to the Ivy League crown.

Thanks to a strong team effort, the men’s soccer team (5-3-1, 1-0 Ivy) completed an unlikely comeback to beat the University of Vermont (5-5-1, 0-1 America East) in a non-conference matchup with a final score of 2-1. The Big Green, which only started four players from its typical starting lineup, showed many different looks throughout the game until ultimately finding a group that scored two goals in the last three minutes of play.

What’s up Dartmouth? The Shoot For It boys are back again this week to tackle the NBA. Flashback to May 14, 2015: game six of the NBA Western Conference semifinals. The Los Angeles Clippers were playing at home with a 3-2 series lead against the Houston Rockets, and ahead 89-70 with just over two minutes left in the third quarter. They had just ousted the defending champions, the San Antonio Spurs, in a thrilling seven-game series and seemed primed to make a championship run.

In a story from the early 1980s, the Dartmouth covers how the school is consuming less Schlitz beer in favor of Anheuser-Busch products. What really stood out, however, is the photo below of the coolest vanity plate in the USA. Stinson's probably didn't hire a brand consultant for this one, but they certainly know their market.

For those of you who don’t know, Pop Punk is a dance party at Sigma Phi Epsilon (aka Sig Ep). It celebrates the songs that colored the early 2000’s — the glory days of raging hormones and enigmatic AIM statuses (on accounts named princessdogluvrxoxo, or in my case, scribblestarz) like “do u like me or like like me….” or “brb, cryin bout u, U KNO WHO U R.”
Essentially, Pop Punk is what you’d get if you took the Heorot Highlighter party and then changed literally everything about it. There are no “bumping bodies” and nothing “tight and bright” allowed. Instead, you’ll dance on a pong table and throw inordinate amounts of shade while sobbing the words to “Mr. Brightside.”

Brown University: A proposal for a winter term of classes was presented by the deans of Brown University to its faculty this past Tuesday, the Brown Daily Herald reported. According to Dean of College Maud Mandel, the winter session will feature “a handful of intense, creative experimental courses in January” spanning three weeks and will “allow for intensive and highly focused courses, like studio classes in art and music or deep training in the usage of some sort of particular scientific or engineering instrument or method.”
Columbia University: In a similar vein to national campaigns working to raise the federal minimum wage, students at Columbia are pushing to raise the minimum work-study pay has been raised to $15 an hour.

Previously the range for work-study positions ranged from $9 to $20 an hour.

Homecoming is less than a day away, and like any big weekend, Homecoming brings to mind traditions, parties and — perhaps less immediately — packed hotels and inns.

We believe that The Dartmouth’s Oct. 1 article, “Amidst student criticism, admissions office offers more information on new need-aware policy” misquoted our views and presented them out of context. The emails written by interim dean of admissions and financial aid Paul Sunde referenced in the article were private emails between Sunde and The Dartmouth staff and were not available to us. Our comments on the administration’s elusiveness regarding the reasons for the policy change were made in complete absence of an official statement.

When I was little, I used to hate my “Asian” nose. I hoped that it would one day become smaller and pointier. In all of the magazines I read, none of the models had a nose like mine. I saw demure and thin noses — not round and flat ones. In choosing which models and celebrities to display on their covers and pages, magazines help dictate and articulate what traits are widely considered to be acceptable or beautiful. I have seen few, if any, Asian models on the cover of my American magazines — I see only slightly more Latina and African-American women. Most models are white. This, according to magazine covers, is the face of beauty.

While canvassing for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination last weekend, I encountered a “meninist” in the wild. People I had hoped existed only on social media and in my nightmares, meninists are anti-feminists who at once claim that gender inequality is a myth, while simultaneously inventing ways in which men are victims of discrimination.

As autumn arrives and the air grows crisp, you may awake to realize that your summer footwear just won’t cut it anymore. You need something that is warm and waterproof; something that can be worn with any outfit, day or night; something that seemingly every student has in the back of their closet.
You need a pair of Bean Boots — duck boots if you’re a traditionalist. They’ll keep your feet dry in rain, snow or sleet. Come at me, winter you think. I’ll be prepared.

Within 18 hours of landing in Paris, I received a text from my best friend asking if I was already hammered. Needless to say, I wasn't nearly as inebriated as she wished I were. Instead I had spent hours scavenging for WiFi and weeping over a simultaneously stale and soggy baguette sandwich because AIRPORT SECURITY STOLE MY NEW SNEAKERS.
