Call it end of term apathy or Winter Carnival hangover or whatever you want, but for some reason this week's inaugural mailbag felt slightly lighter than I expected. After only minimal amounts of self-promotion and arm-twisting, however, I was able to dig out a few worthy questions from loyal or soon-to-be-loyal readers. And, to quote Bill Simmons, "These are actual questions from actual readers."

Student Assembly Accessibility Committee members Emily Broas '11 and Rebecca Gotlieb '12 recommended the addition of two new administrative positions an assistant director for Student Accessibility Services to specialize in outreach and an accessibility advisor in the Office of Pluralism and Leadership to "provide emotional support" and be "a linchpin for a community of awareness" at Tuesday's General Assembly meeting, Broas said in an interview with The Dartmouth. The committee also recommended accessibility education for faculty, additional resources for diagnostic testing and streamlining the process for accommodations appeals and requests for medical leaves, according to Broas. The Assembly also voted to order 55 subscriptions of The Wall Street Journal for Spring, Fall and Winter terms and 15 subscriptions for Summer term at a cost of $3,600. Nick Judson '14, a member of the External Relations Committee, proposed that $10,000 of the Assembly's budget fund the creation of an interactive virtual tour in collaboration with the Admission's Office.

There are three things I enjoy doing in my free time. One is watching re-runs of "Arrested Development" online. Two is falling asleep during the 11 a.m. edition of "SportsCenter." And the only other thing I do when I'm not paying homage to Tobias Fnke or being lulled into a nap by Stan Verrett is think about ways to get more people to read this column.

There's no getting around it. The morning after the Super Bowl ushers in one of the more brutal month-long periods of the year for sports fans. The glory of Sundays jam-packed with NFL games has been dwindling for weeks. The college bowl season is a distant memory. Not even ESPN's Joe Lunardi really fills out his bracket until late February. So we're left with regular-season NBA and NHL games, and the anticipation of the NFL draft. Throw in some MLB hot stove talk, and there's your February: The month where nobody cares about sports.

I need to make an apology. It seems that I've gone too far in the way of chafing the Gods in writing this column. Sorry.

This Saturday, in the form of yet another systematic 9-0 trouncing, the Dartmouth men's squash team became the latest notch on Trinity College's proverbial bedpost. Or whatever's left of it, at least. After 12 consecutive national titles and 200-something victories in a row, that post must be nearly whittled down to a pile of sawdust by now.

There were no flags on the field on Dec. 19, when I watched haplessly from my couch as Desean Jackson sliced through bumbling New York Giants defenders en route to a game-winning, kick-to-the-groin touchdown as time expired in the fourth quarter.

What does it take to get Dartmouth students riled up? There was much talk and little action in the wake of recent Hanover Police initiatives and the closing of the beloved swim docks on the Connecticut River. In the past, however, activism rather than apathy was the norm.

After their goals late in the second half put Dartmouth ahead of Harvard University in the Homecoming soccer game Saturday night, I sat down with Nick Pappas '12 and Lucky Mkosana '12 to talk about the thrill of late-game heroics in front of a home crowd.
