A stately brick building with white shutters and a copper cupola perched on the roof, Cutter-Shabazz blends in with Dartmouth's typical Georgian architecture, save for the unusual script above the front door: "El Hajj Malik El Shabazz," the Muslim name adopted by Malcolm X.

As graduation approaches, it's time to address one of the oldest and most fundamental questions in sports: Does sex affect performance on game day? Perspectives on the subject range from scientific theory to old wives tales. Some athletes swear against it, others see it as a staple of their pre-game routine. As the immortal English footballer George Best once said, "I certainly never found it had any effect on my performance. Maybe best not the hour before, but the night before makes no odds."

Happy Thursday, happy Homecoming and a happy welcome back to all of the alumni trickling into Hanover over the next couple of days (as long as you don't chafe the pong lines too much).

Tuesday was a big night for Dartmouth. As I meandered across the Green, I could feel the buzz emanating from the Bloomberg stage, the assorted news vans and Michele Bachmann's tour bus. Whether you were a Democrat, a Republican or even a reasonable person preferring to stay above the oftentimes-juvenile poop flinging that is primary-election season, you got that feeling.

As the Republican primary debate and its attendant media frenzy descend on Dartmouth, we will be confronted by political issues whether we like it or not. In particular, politics plays an important, yet often undiscussed, role in the classroom. We've all taken a class in which the professor has injected his or her own political views into discussions or lectures, inevitably shaping classroom dynamics. In the spirit of the politically charged season, I interviewed a number of College faculty members to hear their personal pedagogies on politics in the classroom.

"I might be too strong out on compliments, overdosed on confidence, started not to give a f*ck and stop fearing the consequence ..." Believe it or not, those words, so dripping with savory audaciousness, were not penned by the rhyme guru Bill Shakespeare, the brazen Ernest Hemingway, nor Dartmouth's favorite pseudo-son Theodore Geisel '25. Nay, these words of wisdom come straight from the mouth of Drake (Ca$h Money Records, shout out to Weezy on the track). "Headlines" will surely prove to be one of this fall's hallmark tracks (along with revival of Kevin Lyttle's 2003 classic, "Turn Me On" trust me, it's already begun) in no small part to the steadfast message of unbridled confidence it espouses.

For many Dartmouth sophomores, rush constitutes one of the most stressful social experiences of their young lives. Shake outs, dings and callbacks become part of our vocabulary. Guys frantically go out every night in the weeks leading up to that fateful weekend, trying to accrue as much social capital as possible, while ladies hone their girl-flirting skills.

Earlier this MLB season, an ugly incident transpired between veteran Yankees catcher Jorge Posada and his manager, Joe Girardi. Posada, who was in the midst of a season-long slump, had already been relegated to full-time designated hitter status in favor of free-agent signing Russell Martin. And then one May evening, he showed up to the ballpark to discover he was to hit ninth in the lineup against the visiting Red Sox in a nationally televised game. So he left the stadium, more or less refusing to play.

Four years ago, I sat down with Nick Pappas '12 to discuss coming from Phoenix, Ariz., to Dartmouth, and what it was like to be a freshman on a successful Division I team. Now a co-captain for the men's soccer team, he took some time to reflect on how his perspective and priorities have changed over his Dartmouth career.

American women not only outperform men in college enrollment and graduation, but also value education more highly than men, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. A survey of more than 2,100 Americans released this Wednesday by the Pew Research Center analyzed public attitudes toward higher education, The Chronicle reported. Of those polled, more than a third held bachelor's degrees or higher. Respondents with or without a college diploma agreed that higher education was more central to a woman's success than a man's, The Chronicle reported. Fifty-percent of females with a four-year college degree were enthusiastic about the country's higher-education system despite the financial costs involved, compared with 37 percent of men, according to The Chronicle. The American public has mixed views on the increase of female versus male enrollment, according to Kimberly Parker, co-author of the report on the survey. "[The public] are supportive of all the accomplishments of women in this regard, but they don't want to see that success come at the expense of men," Parker said.

Under the guiding hand of Paul Finkelstein '13, the Dartmouth Summer Orchestra performed in Rollins Chapel for the first time in 12 years on Monday night. Finkelstein, the group's conductor, formed the Summer )rchestra in order to provide students with a classical musical outlet for the term, The Dartmouth previously reported.

Facetime is like sex: everybody wants it, but nobody wants to talk about it at least in polite company. Who wants to be that poor kid on the outside looking in, face pressed to the glass, watching other people have all the fun and take those sweet pics that will quickly appear on Facebook the next day? (Or, with the advent of the mupload, pictures that will go straight to the lucky bastard's wall instant facetime!) But why is it that we have this intense need to be seen by others? At its core, our quest for facetime is rooted in a fear of missing out (aka "FOMO") on having a good time. Confusingly, much of what we consider a "good time" is also spent convincing people that we are having the most fun while we are out, whether it is by commanding as much facetime as possible through self-advertisement on Facebook or by acting obnoxiously in public.

In a few short weeks you will have been initiated into our unique college culture where the church is the basement, the holy sacrament is Keystone Light and 2 a.m. EBAs is the manna of heaven. If you haven't already guessed, pong is our religion. You will probably spend more hours hitting a ping pong ball around a basement that reeks of boot and broken dreams than you can currently imagine. And while I am a firm believer in the need for people to learn through experience, I know that I would have appreciated a helpful how-to guide to this most integral of Dartmouth rituals when I was a wee first-year student. So freshmen, consider the following tutorial scripture.

When Dartmouth students graduate, they join a distinguished group of famous men and women both real and fictional. Dartmouth alumni are extremely diverse, ranging from conservative news personality Laura Ingraham '85 and General Electric Chief Executive Officer Jeffry Immelt '78 to entertainers such as Rachel Dratch '88 of "Saturday Night Live."

The latest exhibition displayed in the Barrows Rotunda in the Hopkins Center for the Arts is an assortment of colorfully painted objects precariously balanced on blocks and shelves or hanging from wires. Designed and created by studio art intern Grace Dowd '11, the exhibit "This is My World" is a sculpture that draws attention to the mixing of colors and the "off-kilter" placement of "visually appealing" objects, according to Dowd.

"The Tree of Life," Malick's fifth feature in 38 years, has been in development for decades and missed multiple release dates before premiering at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival where it won the Palme d'Or, the festival's highest prize, awarded to the director of the best feature film.

Today I sat down with Garrett Wymore '13, the inspirational middle linebacker for the Big Green football team, recipient of the Earl P. Hamilton Award for freshman MVP and one-time preseason All-Ivy. Wymore, who has started at middle linebacker since walking onto the team as a freshman, provides a powerful inside presence. The 6' 2", 215 lbs. product of the Chadwick School in Palos Verdes, Calif., has racked up 90 tackles so far in his career and looks forward to delivering more bone-crunching hits this fall. In addition to being a potent athlete, Wymore packs a punch in the classroom, pursuing dual degrees in neuroscience and economics and earning a place in the Second Honors Group.

In the heavily segregated city of Mostar in Bosnia-Herzegovina, former Dartmouth education professor Andrew Garrod, who retired from the College in 2008, is challenging the country's ethnic tensions this summer by directing a theatrical production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest."
