Dartmouth students like gossip and secrets but sometimes the mundane "who's rushing where" and "what's happening when" just doesn't do it for us. There's always so much to be explored beyond the sometimes shallow surface of this school you just have to know where to swim.

Due to the recent creation of new student health-related positions in the Dean of the College division, the College is currently operating with an unusually high number of job openings, according to Gavin Henning, director of administration in the Dean of the College division.

Imagine you've just been accused of an academic honor principle violation. Your professor calls you into her office, your work in hand. Your palms are sweating and your stomach is in knots. It could be a missing citation, a little too much collaboration or paraphrasing-turned-plagiarism. She informs you that she is obligated to tell the Undergraduate Judicial Affairs Office about her suspicions. How did this happen?

Big Green starting quarterback Connor Kempe '12 was arrested for marijuana possession on April 4, according to the Hanover Police Department. Kempe will be charged with a violation on the civil level instead of the criminal level, according to Kempe's attorney George Ostler '77. "They chose to proceed on a civil level, which is not unusual for how the police proceed against young people who have never been involved in the system before," Ostler said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Kempe will appear before the Lebanon District Court in May and will likely be penalized with a $500 fine, according to Ostler. After playing in all 10 games and throwing eight of the team's 10 touchdown passes this fall, Kempe posted a 54.2 completion percentage, throwing for an average 165 yards per game. In the 2009 season, Kempe saw an increase in playing time, starting five consecutive games after quarterback Alex Jenny '10 was injured. Kempe, Athletic Director Harry Sheehy and head football coach Buddy Teevens declined to comment.

When Pam Misener, the acting director of the Office of Pluralism and Leadership and the adviser to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students, came to Dartmouth 10 years ago, most openly transgender students at the College chose to transfer.

As a young attending physician, Al Mulley '70 helped a family to decide whether to perform a tracheotomy on their elderly relative with end-stage lung disease. At first, Mulley said, he tried to approach the problem quantitatively, but as he watched the family grapple with the choice, he realized they were far more concerned about quality of life than probability of survival. In the years since, Mulley has dedicated his career to ensuring that the medical decision-making process is a collaboration between health care professionals and informed families.

This year has been chock full of controversial issues on campus, but anyone who has delved into Dartmouth's history would be struck with a serious case of deja vu. Anytime a "new" issue comes to light, students and administrators spring into action and organize a forum. Often hosted at a fraternity, the events are given a provocative title and are lauded for "starting a campus dialogue" and "creating a bridge between different campus groups." While we seem to be talented at starting discussions, these conversations never lead to action or noticeable change. Dartmouth seems to suffer from institutional amnesia a year or two later, the exact same issues flare up again. So here is a timeline of forums, protests and controversies over the last 11 years, beginning with the extremely contentious Student Life Initiative.

When I arrived at Dartmouth a naive little freshman from the hippie enclave of Seattle I had no concept of the terrifying ordeal that is corporate recruiting. Goldman and I weren't on a first name basis and I didn't (and still don't) know what consultants do. At first, I was put off by what seemed like a lack of diversity in career options open to Dartmouth students.
