If Eleazar Wheelock could see us now, he would be rolling over in his grave. Yes, Dartmouth has remained a bastion of higher education over the centuries, and we are just as in the middle of the woods as we ever were. But if you take a look at some of our traditions, we also appear to be Keystone-soaked sex fiends. The Dartmouth Decade is just one of these raunchy traditions that walks the line between impressive and gross.

The availability of federal aid to for-profit colleges may be increasing those institutions' tuition costs, Inside Higher Ed reported. A study conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the tuition at for-profit schools that can accept students' federal financial aid is around 75 percent higher than at schools that cannot, according to Inside Higher Ed. A federal rule that specifies that colleges may only earn 90 percent of their revenue from federal financial aid may cause institutions to raise tuition in order to abide by the regular, Inside Higher Ed reported. The economists who led the study said that the results help validate the "Bennett Hypothesis," which says that federal financial aid interferes with free market mechanisms of higher education. Many of the for-profit institutions that cannot receive aid are vocational schools, including transportation, cosmetology, culinary and health professional programs, according to Inside Higher Ed.

My least favorite movie in the world sorry, cinephiles is "Citizen Kane" (1941). Maybe I'm not highbrow enough to enjoy it, but a two-hour tale about a man who pulls himself up by his bootstraps only to turn corrupt in his search for power is just not that interesting. And don't even get me started on "Rosebud."

Pong is played by almost everyone, adored by most and grudgingly tolerated by the few people who haven't discovered the joy of the perfect sink. It has its own little rituals the postgame hugs and handshakes, the language of calling line. But it is also, hands down, the grossest, germiest, grimiest game ever.

Hazing allegations are rarely brought against Dartmouth Greek organizations, sports teams and other student groups due to the difficulty of finding witnesses to corroborate such accusations, according to Hanover Chief of Police Nicholas Giaccone. Recent hazing allegations by Andrew Lohse '12 have brought increased visibility to the issue of hazing at Dartmouth and how both the College and the Hanover Police Department respond to these allegations.

Did you hook up with anyone last weekend? How was it? Hot? Awful? A mistake? A grenade? Yours or theirs? Was it in a basement? In your bed? At the BEMA? So what did you do? A goodnight kiss or the horizontal mambo? Something in between?

Up to 100 jobs will be cut from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health's payroll by next January in order to close a $100 million budget deficit at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, DHMC Director of Media Relations Rick Adams said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Cost-cutting initiatives enacted this fall, such as early retirement plans for eligible hospital employees, were not enough to balance the budget, according to Adams.

I went to high school with the most argumentative kids I've ever met. The student population was about 95 percent Democrat, but the Libertarians and Republicans could hold their own in any debate and believe me, there were many debates. A day wouldn't pass without people arguing in the hallway about Sarah Palin's viability as a vice presidential candidate, which inevitably led to a loud, general condemnation of the Bush years and a spin-off argument about whether the war in Iraq was justified.

The watch party's doors opened at 5:30 p.m., and the audience enjoyed performances and brief addresses from students representing campus political groups until the debate began streaming live from Spaulding Auditorium at 8 p.m. Two screens hung from the arena's ceiling, allowing students sitting on either side of the open area to view the candidates. Although the six front rows of one side of Leede were reserved for campaign VIPs, those seats remained empty throughout the entire debate.

University of New Hampshire president Mark Huddleston announced Monday that UNH would stop selling energy drinks on campus, but then reneged on his statement the same day, Inside Higher Ed reported. The sale of energy drinks would be banned on campus in an effort to make UNH the "healthiest campus community in the country," Huddleston's initial announcement stated. The release also noted a recent incident in which a student was hospitalized after consuming energy drinks, according to Inside Higher Ed. A second release, however, halted the ban and stated that Huddleston wanted to involve students more in the decision and cited inconclusive evidence relating to the drinks' health effects. A.J. Coukos, UNH student body president, said the ban might have overstepped the university's right to limit students' choices, according to Inside Higher Ed. Coukos also said the ban would not stop students from buying energy drinks at a nearby off-campus store, Inside Higher Ed reported.

The College's relatively small size and remote location may be contributing to the recent upsurge in student-run businesses, economics professor Christopher Snyder said. Dartmouth's environment and culture allow students who may one day work in the corporate world to gain practical hands-on experience in entrpreneurship, according to several students business owners interviewed by The Dartmouth.

The epic 11F playlist. 11Fantastic. Think: a mix of new/old, random iTunes-on-shuffle songs you should be listening to this fall. Whether or not you make it to indie shows in Williamsburg, there's something for you here.
