Beechert: The Dangers of Isolationism
One would think that, in light of the gradual but significant slip in the U.S. News and World Report’s national university rankings, the College would do everything in its power to attract the best and brightest students from around the world. The College has plenty of selling points — an idyllic campus, a faculty that is eager to engage with students personally and a collegial atmosphere that reduces the stress of studying at an elite university. Unfortunately, incompetent management has resulted in misguided student-life policy and a bloated administrative structure that has saddled students with ridiculous costs.
Ghavri: Playing Awards Catch-Up
This past Sunday night marked the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards. Dartmouth was well represented, with David Benioff ’92 winning an award for co-producing “Game of Thrones” and Mindy Kaling ’01 presenting an award. I, like many passionate television fans, tuned in and was rooting for my favorite actors, actresses and television series. “Mad Men” — the magnificently produced 1960s period drama starring Jon Hamm as a mysterious Madison Avenue advertising executive with a dark past — concluded its seventh and final season in May 2015. I will not spoil the ending for those who are still binge watching the show on Netflix, but the series as a whole is arguably the greatest written television drama of all time. It is a shame that Jon Hamm had not won an Emmy prior to this year for his role as Don Draper, as he has been long deserving of critical recognition for his performance and his talents. Unfortunately, the methodology by which Emmys are awarded can be seriously flawed, oftentimes focusing on mass appeal and novelty rather than sophistication and artistry.
Tennis teams open season on road
The men’s and women’s tennis teams opened their seasons this past weekend with tournaments on the road. The men participated in the Ivy Plus tournament in Princeton, New Jersey, from Friday through Sunday. On the same dates, the women competed in the Tribe Invitational at the College of William & Mary. Both teams saw mixed results in their opening matchups as the Big Green tennis players shook off the offseason dust.
One-on-one with Kat Ramage '19
This week, The Dartmouth’s Henry Arndt went one-on-one with Kat Ramage ’19 of the women’s rugby team. This year is women’s rugby’s first as a varsity sport at the College. The Big Green has split its first two games as a varsity outfit. Ramage delivered a standout performance in the season-opening win over the University of Pennsylvania, scoring a try and notching four conversions for a total of 13 points, second on the team.
Theater department offers range of student involvement chances
For students who have wondered about how to get involved with theater at the College but have no idea where to begin or have had no previous experience, the College’s theater department has a series of events and programs meant to help them. The two most prominent options are the termly showcase and the “Your Space” productions.

Sonic Space: Albums of Summer
I’ve seen at least two articles and one BuzzFeed poll about the song of the summer in the past two weeks. Now that September is upon us, everyone seems to be looking back with nostalgia to the summer and it’s song.

DHMC provides Upper Valley residents a range of jobs outside health care
For Alexander Pruitt, working at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center runs in the family. Six years ago, when he was in high school and looking for a job, he joined his mom at the hospital working for dining services. On Saturday, he stood serving baked goods behind a counter at DHMC. About a dozen people waited in line, and another dozen or so sat eating.
Hassett: Needlessly Changing Policy
After reading The Dartmouth’s Friday article, “College ends need-blind admission for international students,” which stated the admissions office will consider international applicants to the Class of 2020 under a “need-aware” policy, I can only think that the College is headed down the path of socioeconomic exclusivity.
Harary: Not All Fun and Game
Walter Palmer, a Minnesota dentist with a penchant for sports hunting, has recently been the focus of international headlines and public outrage due to his fatal shooting of Cecil, a reportedly well-known and beloved lion in a national park in Zimbabwe. The 13-year-old carnivore was notable for being the subject of an Oxford University study on animal tracking, and his death has sparked discussion about a common practice regarding big-game hunting in both the United States and across Africa — the sale of hunting licenses to fund wildlife conservation. In Palmer’s case, he paid approximately $54,000 for the right and permits to kill and export a male lion from the Hwange Game Reserve — although not Cecil, specifically. While authorities are questioning the legality of this particular hunting safari, there is no doubt that trophy hunting is permitted in several countries, including Zimbabwe, South Africa, Tanzania, Namibia, Zambia and Botswana — as well as in the U.S. The dealing of these licenses is often an integral source of funding for wildlife conservation in these countries, but this makes little sense from a commercial standpoint and even less from a moral one.
