Dartmouth camper girl #1 to #2: So... do you ride horses?
1.Screw your grades, screw your GPA, and then screw each other. Make completing the Dartmouth Seven a top priority. There is more than one way to be rewarded for your merits.
Since the time of its completion, the portrait has been owned by the maternal side of Lord Dartmouth's family. The Hood had known about the painting for many years and seized the opportunity to add the portrait to the Dartmouth Collection when it went to auction at Sotheby's in London.
In my desire to discover the true definition of "intellectualism," I discovered absolutely nothing at all except that it can't be defined. I was thrust into a sea of confusion and gasped to the surface wondering, why should I care? Aren't we all intellectuals? Aren't we all students, thinkers, the prized possessions of academia?
I have to admit that before I met English Professor Michael Chaney, I was skeptical of the validity of the graphic novel (or comic book, the terms are essentially interchangable) and oblivious to its role in literature. Let's be honest, when we think of comics, the mind generally conjures images of men in tights, some kind of boyhood action fantasy for the playground and school buses. But after talking with Chaney, who is working on his own graphic novel, I quickly saw that many graphic novels are not only for an educated adult audience, but are a harmony of art and literature in a way attained by perhaps no other medium.
So for now, drop your pong paddles and follow me as I venture behind the scenes of one of Dartmouth's most prominent, yet risky business ventures: dealing marijuana. In honor of 4/20, I sat down separately with three Dartmouth gentlemen (whose names have been changed to protect their identies) and learned about the highs, pun intended, and lows of selling weed.
Whether you typically play the role of groper or gropee, there is no denying that Dartmouth students in general have a lot of sexual contact. And while the optimistic view is that we all have the potential to get laid, the downside is that the constant grind of bodies amidst a haze of alcohol makes the issue of sexual assault difficult to define or even recognize.
When Time magazine recently named "You" -- the blogging, YouTube-ing public -- as its 2006 Person of the Year, it helped ring the death knell for articles that regard blogs as a fad or a novelty. Blogs are here to stay, as are their persistent, sometimes annoying contributions to current events. They give voices to any who want them, even if you don't want to hear them, and ring through the internet like prophetic -- or narcissistic -- voices, crying out in the wilderness of society.
Editor's note: This is the second article in a two-part series about expanding music-related web services.
For some students, the only train they will ever travel on is the blackout train. Yes, the blackout train, the train that hits you with a bang, sometimes literally, after you have drunk one or two too many mixed drinks. It's a place where nightmares come true, but memories are nonexistent. If you take a ride on this train, you won't even know where you have traveled until your friends tell you the next day or you wake up with another unidentified passenger.
You know the expression, "What you don't know can't hurt you?" Well when it comes to food -- surprise, surprise -- this may not be true.
According to the Chinese creation myth, there are two types of love: fire love and water love. Water love is steady and comfortable, while fire love is fleeting and passionate. It is this fire love and raw sexual energy for which a woman named Nin searches in Tinling Choong's provocative and poetic "FireWife."
I sat at lunch and listened to a member of the Class of 2009, who asked to remain anonymous, describe his experiences snorting Adderall. I couldn't help but be amused at the mysterious, slightly sketchy nature of this conversation. Many people talk freely about Adderall as a drug used for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD and studying purposes, but getting people to talk about the slightly darker side of Adderall -- using the drug to aid in late-night raging -- is a slightly more difficult task.
We've all heard of them -- the miscreants, the prosecuted, the kids who fade into the background under a cloud of secrecy and shame: the Parkhursted. Few people know what "Parkhursting" actually entails beyond a revocation of BlitzMail and a push out of the Dartmouth bubble. Like car accidents and death, people usually think, "That won't happen to me." At least that is what Daniel Obaseki '07 thought up until his entrance into the world of suspension. "I used to think there was a certain type of kid that got Parkhursted," Obaseki said. "The individuals who bought papers, or cheated on tests. I never realized there's an entire subculture of kids getting shafted by the system."
Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Maryann De Leo and Lifetime Television Vice President Meredith Wagner hosted various events on campus last week as part of the "Cries of Silence: Domestic Violence, Rape, and Mental Illness" program put on by the Nathan Smith Pre-medical Society.
The ceremony takes place Thursday at 4 p.m. in the Wren Room in Sanborn Library and is a fitting end to the Poetry and Prose series that featured readings from professional writers throughout the year.
"Lights up," said Olivia Gilliatt '08, sitting in a chair facing the stage with a notebook in hand. It was Monday evening and the first costume dress rehearsal had just begun for Edward Albee's "The Play about the Baby."
