Casidhe-Nicole Bethancourt reflects on lessons learned during her time at Dartmouth.
Little progress has been made since the initial spring term release of recommendations made by the ad hoc committee on grading practices and grade inflation. The committee, emphasizing the concern of grade inflation at the College, had recommended harsher grading practices and the elimination of the non-recording option, among other suggestions in its 16-page report.
Baker-Berry Library will be silent. Few people will be heard chatting in the halls of Fahey-McLane residential hall. But the machine shop at the Thayer School of Engineering will be whirring between Dec. 7 through 10, as engineering students learn to engrave with state-of-the-art laser cutters.

Eric Fanning ’90 was nominated to be the secretary of the Army, which, if confirmed by Congress, would make him the first openly gay secretary of a military branch.
Last week, the College ended its eight-year-old “need-blind” policy for international applicants in favor of a “need-aware” policy, meaning that the College will consider the financial need of international applicants as an admissions criterion. College spokesperson Diana Lawrence has stated that the goal is “to increase and stabilize” the international student population on campus.
Earlier this week, the results of the Association of American Universities sexual assault campus climate survey were made public. When reading through the report tables that broke down the survey’s responses along several factors, including sex, race and class year, I came across one statistic in particular that jumped out at me. The survey question asked students to respond to the following statement — “Initial university orientation included information about sexual assault or sexual misconduct.” The answers included 2.6 percent of male undergraduate Dartmouth students responding “no,” while 8.5 percent of male Dartmouth undergraduates responded, “I don’t remember.” In contrast, only 0.7 percent of female undergraduate Dartmouth students responded “no,” while 1.0 percent of female Dartmouth undergraduates responded, “I don’t remember.” Indeed, Orientation week does include a workshop on consent that discusses sexual assault at some length. I find it extremely concerning that more than one in 10 male students either does not recall this workshop or incorrectly believes this workshop never occurred. For females, this number is less thanone in 50.
For spring break 2013 (no regrets!!), Maggie visited Maddie and her family in Texas. Wearing shiny cowboy boots and a blue dress, Maggie blended in with the masses of people who werelined up to watch the day’s events. No one would have guessed that she hails from suburban Massachusetts — until she opened her mouth. “Yee-haw and howdy y’all! Let’s ride in pick up trucks and go down dirt roads…. with cows!” she said to nobody as Maddie and Maggie entered the rodeo.

What a week. Senior year is here, and boy is it here to stay.
Off the back of a comfortable 31-10 defeat of Georgetown University (1-2) in its season opener, the football team will undertake one of its more onerous challenges this season on Saturday night. In a home opener clash on the newly renovated Memorial Field, the Big Green (1-0) will face two-time defending Northeast Conference champions in Sacred Heart University (2-1).
Women’s soccer head coach Ron Rainey knew what it was like to be a coach long before he became one. The son of a high school and college-level basketball coach, Rainey took his soccer skills to the sideline almost as soon as he graduated from Wilkes University, where he had been a two-time captain and team most valuable player on the men’s soccer team.
