I have poor blood circulation, or at least that's what I tell people when they ask why I spend 95 percent of my time curled up on my futon wrapped in a Snuggie (do not mock them until you've tried them). In the winter, I'm more likely to write a paper four days early than to cross the icy Green in pursuit of some quality time with People Magazine and the elliptical, which is why I am reduced to mentally including "times I ran extra quickly down to Novack from fourth floor Berry" and "walking backwards while giving a tour to freaked-out prospies" in my daily exercise count.

While the Dartmouth Seven is a firmly agreed-upon tradition that students learn of early on in our illustrious careers at the College (I heard about it from an '07 frat boy during Orientation, shortly before he invited me to check Blitz in his room), there is a slight problem -- no one ever wrote down the exact places or any guidelines, and Wikipedia is depressingly silent on the issue.

President Barack Obama's initiative to computerize the nation's health care records, if passed into law, will not directly affect Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, one of the few U.S. hospitals that already uses electronic records, according to Dartmouth Medical School professor Andrew Gettinger DMS '79, DHMC's medical director for information systems and informatics. The funding may benefit DHMC indirectly, though, by helping small, private practices computerize their records, allowing DHMC and local primary care providers to share the patient information, Gettinger said.

Dartmouth has not yet decided whether to request applicants' full score reports, Dean of Admissions Maria Laskaris said in an e-mail to The Dartmouth.

Despite recent debates concerning the role of the Town Manager of Norwich, Vt., Peter Webster '71 was unanimously voted to the position Wednesday night. The tenure of the previous Town Manager, Stephen Soares, was marked by controversy, according to the Valley News.

He "impressed Norwich officials with his background in strategic planning and leadership" and was chosen for the position by the Selectboard without discussion or comment during the vote, according to the Valley News. The town rarely holds a vote without some dissent, according to board chairman Gerard Chapdelaine.

The costume of Keggy the Keg, Dartmouth's unofficial mascot, has been missing since August, according to the Dartmouth's humor publication, the Jack-O-Lantern. The Jack-O-Lantern has already alerted the campus, as well as Safety and Security and Hanover Police to Keggy's disappearance. Dylan Kane '09, editor-in-chief of the Jack-O-Lantern, said the costume would be unusable, as the thief took only the plastic exterior, leaving the wearable harness behind. Keggy the Keg, who first appeared in fall 2003, has been a fixture at sporting events and big weekends at the College. He has also starred in Jack-O-Lantern productions, such as the video "Drinking Time," where he led a marching band down Webster Avenue.

PhytoMedical Technologies has entered into an exclusive, world-wide agreement with Dartmouth to market and distribute anti-cancer compounds, the company announced Monday in a press release. Chemistry professor Gordon Gribble helped develop the anti-tumor substances, known as intercalating agents. The compounds, the first pharmacological treatment of this type, prevent the growth of cancer cells by binding tightly to the cells' DNA, which prevents these cells from replicating. Initial tests on the compounds have demonstrated their strong anti-tumor capability, which prompted PhytoMedical's interest in conducting further testing and development, Medwatch.com reported on Monday.

If you ignored my earlier advice to hook up with half of the campus, you may have found yourself with a permanent pong partner (known outside of our bubble as a "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" with whom you go on "dates.") As sophomore summer draws to a close and the junior class scatters to our respective Bridgewater-provided abodes or overpriced student hovels, the question of what to do with this person looms large. Do you buy extra cell phone minutes, memorize every variation of his Blitz nicknames and (gulp) actually put yourself "In a Relationship" on Facebook? In keeping with my theme of hedonistic irresponsible advice: NO! I even have a list of handy little reasons why not.
