Notably missing from this collection is the Hanover Inn itself. While I almost included it solely on the quality of the complimentary chocolates, I decided that its adjacency to campus disqualified it. The deciding factor? If you can do the walk of shame from it, it's just a glorified dorm.

As many Greek-affiliated sophomore students move out of College residence halls and into their respective Greek organizations, some are taking advantage of the newfound opportunity to welcome new and furry members into their homes. The presence of dogs in Greek houses is common throughout the year, but Summer term has seen an onslaught of new puppies cropping up across campus.

Despite their foul smells, permanent layers of grime and questionable sanitation levels, Dartmouths basements hold a place in students hearts. On trips back home and over the phone to friends, hours are lost trying in vain to justify and explain the appeal of such social spaces, but neither words nor at-home-pong-reproductions can do a basement justice.

Dartmouth Dining Services held a vendor food show in Food Court this past Tuesday in an effort to gauge the response of Dartmouth students and other DDS customers to a variety of new food options that DDS is considering for the upcoming school year. With 21 booths featuring over 75 items to sample -- including lobster bisque, organic chocolate milk and gourmet ravioli -- students and customers were invited to complete response sheets after sampling the various items. The black bean spice patty was the most mentioned item on the response sheets, Beth Difrancesco, the DDS purchasing manager, said. It was followed by the prepared whole grain salads. The food show was hosted in conjunction with Roma Foods, DDS's primary vendor, and also involved staff and managers sitting down to discuss how each of the new foods could be incorporated into the current DDS menus.

Though sophomore summer is technically mandatory for Dartmouth undergraduates, a number of students choose not enroll in courses during the summer. The reasons for this decision vary, but in many cases, students find that other commitments -- both Dartmouth-related and otherwise -- conflict with taking classes over the Summer term. However many students who opt not to take classes during the Summer term choose to remain on campus to work in order to avoid missing out on the unique experience of sophomore summer.

"There's a business aspect -- we rent out canoes, kayaks and Titcomb Cabin to Dartmouth students and community members and, as a Dartmouth Outing Club subset we do P.E. classes, trips and host feeds every Thursday," Louis Buck '10, the club's junior summer director, said.

It's hard to imagine that back in 1769, Eleazar Wheelock envisioned an educational institution with a built-in summer camp for its students. Could he have pictured a place that included not only learning and growth, but also innertubing in July? A trip to the archives of Rauner and a few conversations with administrators revealed the truth behind the inauguration of sophomore summer.

Women are being rejected at a much higher rate than men to many U.S. colleges, according to an article in U.S. News and World Report. At the University of Richmond, for example, the female admissions rate over the past decade has been on average 13 percentage points lower than the male admissions rate, a direct result of the need to maintain the 49 percent male and 51 percent female ratio necessitated by the availability of on-campus housing, according to the college. The study found that at the most competitive colleges, including Harvard, Duke and Rice, gender parity occurs naturally as the schools skim the admissions pools for only the strongest applicants, but the issue of maintaining a gender balance plays a major role at second-tier schools, like Boston College, Tufts and Welsleyan University. Across the board, women graduate from high school at a higher rate than men, and currently comprise 57 percent of college students. The article, published June 17th, examined admissions data from more than 1,400 four-year colleges and universities.

Drinking and cultural norms at Dartmouth have been documented time and time again, from blacking out to booting and passing out on an uninhabited couch. With an array of students constantly inhabiting cities across the country for work terms or after graduation, it seems natural to wonder how much of what defines the Dartmouth party scene is tied to the campus, and how much is more deeply ingrained.

With the combination of hormones, cold weather and less-than-thrilling entertainment venues in Hanover, it's no wonder that students are hopping into bed with each other. From monogamous relationships to steamy hook ups, sex is a given for a significant portion of the Dartmouth population. Unfortunately, despite the benefits of sex, the possibility of STDs is a scary reality. So ... if you want to be sexually active, how do you stay clean at Dartmouth?

By the time Winter Carnival rolls around, students have learned to reconcile fashion and sub-zero temperatures, removing flip-flops from their basement attire and finding that one perfect niche for their black North Face fleece. With an abundance of theme parties across campus this weekend, however, the celebration presents a unique fashion challenge for Dartmouth students: how to maximize appropriate costumage while minimizing frostbite.

When a friend of mine got into legal trouble in Hanover this fall, she began the arduous task of finding good legal representation. After making a series of unsuccessful phone calls, she was referred to George Ostler '77 of DesMeules, Olmstead & Ostler, by a friend who'd been in similar trouble the fall before. Before she even finished explaining her case, Ostler had correctly guessed the name of the cop who was prosecuting. She hired him on the spot.
