When I was in elementary and middle school, fun was organized play dates with friends, either at their house or mine. After school or on the weekends, we would pile into Mom's minivan and brave the torturous Atlanta traffic before arriving at our destination and dashing into the house. These outings, though often spontaneously schemed up after a soccer or lacrosse game, were usually planned out in advance.

When Baker-Berry library began staying open 24 hours a day during reading and finals period last fall, the intention was to accommodate students' need for a study space well past the library's usual 2 a.m. closing time. The policy, however, has unintentionally generated a battle for prime real estate in the library, with some students securing desks for extended periods of time leaving their belongings in place even while they are gone and other students left deskless and hopeless in their search for a quiet spot to work.

Student Assembly finalized many of its committee chair positions at the Assembly meeting Tuesday night in Collis 101. For all committees each of which is chaired by two people the General Assembly elected one chair while Student Body President Max Yoeli '12 and acting Vice President Rohail Premjee '14 appointed the other. The position of co-chair of the Alcohol Harm Reduction Committee, which will be held by Will Conaway '13, proved to be the most contentious election, with three students running for the position. Conaway said he will draw on his experience as a Green Team member to help partner the Assembly with other campus organizations dedicated to alcohol issues. Mary Cromwell '12 was elected co-chair of the Diversity and Community Affairs Committee. Both Tyler Kuhn '14 and Donald Casler '14 ran unopposed to be co-chair of the Academic Affairs Committee and the sustainability representative, respectively. Yoeli and Premjee announced their appointments after the meeting. Ji Hyae Lee '13 will co-chair the Alcohol Harm Reduction Committee, Gardiner Kreglow '14 will co-chair the Academic Affairs Committee and Troy Dildine '13 will co-chair the Diversity and Community Affairs Committee. Camden Nogay '13 and Alan Keegan '14 will co-chair the Student Services Committee. While the Assembly's committee structure will include a committee on sexual assault, that committee's chairs have not yet been finalized. The Assembly is still in the process of determining how it will work with the existing Student Presidential Committee on Sexual Assault, according to Yoeli. Student Body Vice President Amrita Sankar '12, who is currently off campus in India for personal reasons, reviewed the applications for committee chairs, but left the final decisions to Premjee, according to Premjee.

Late one night in the bowels of the Sherman stacks, an idea slithered into my brain like a Yeerk. Wait we're not doing an Animorphs issue? WTF?! Fine, I'll try again.

When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a sniper. Not just any sniper I aspired to be the next Simo Hayha. (For all you newbies out there, Simo Hayha, aka "the White Death," was a Finnish soldier who racked up 505 confirmed kills in the 1939-1940 Winter War against the USSR. Not bad for a guy from a place best known for its reindeer population.) But after a few years spent fantasizing about ghillie suits and field craft, I moved on from my slightly disturbing dream of being an assassin to dreaming of becoming a pilot. I maintained that career aspiration until a turbulent puddle jumper flight from Boston to Burlington in eighth grade made me reconsider the whole working-at-30,000-feet thing. That near-death experience steered me towards less adventurous career goals. By the time high school rolled around, I aspired to become a lawyer or a writer.

However, the former college quarterback who has become a renowned gender-related violence prevention educator will spend two days at Dartmouth as this year's Center for Women and Gender "Visionary in Residence."

It is with a strange combination of heavy-heartedness and pure, unbridled ecstasy that I sit down to write my last column of 11W. While the loss of a somewhat-relevant public forum will almost certainly result in a blow to my already fragile, self-inflated ego, the fact that winter is drawing to a close has started a fire within me. But true to form, when the one actually somewhat pleasant season for being in Hanover arrives, I'll be traveling south to Argentina, where it will be the fall.

Because some advertisements encourage entirely self-centered behavior, "human survival is at stake" when these advertisements run in various media outlets, Jhally, a communications professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, said. The future demise of society is inevitable given the advertisement-driven culture, he said.

Awards season. I don't know whether it's general boredom or the need to make February a little more memorable, but for some reason around this time people feel the need to start handing out hardware like Collis Ray (or his protg, Henry Luehrman '12) deals breakfast sandwiches. My theory is that, by the doldrums of early March, everyone could use some recognition. A little self-esteem boost. Just a symbolic pick-me-up that says, "Hey, here's to you."
