Like many Dartmouth students, I had frequently walked by the Occupy Dartmouth protestors without so much as a glance in their direction. I wasn't afraid of them or opposed to speaking with them I was just unsure of what they stood for and didn't know how to ask. I just knew they felt so strongly about something that they had continually remained camped outside Collis in the rain and snow for weeks.
"If you Kikbo a lot it actually improves your fitness and really brings up your foot-eye coordination," Hart said. "At Dartmouth I played chess. Now I can play soccer better because of Kikbo."
It's 5:00 a.m. and you've got a final in three hours. Instead of sleeping, you're sitting on FFB aggressively clicking through your roommate's ex-boyfriend's sister's junior prom Facebook album with empty Redbulls and Rockstars littered around you.
For the first time since 2007, administrators at the Tuck School of Business chose not to participate in The Aspen Institute's "Beyond Grey Pinstripes" project an independent ranking of business schools citing the "cost in time and effort" required by the survey, as well as problems with the methodology used to rank schools, Tuck's Assistant Dean for Strategic Initiatives Penny Paquette said in an email to The Dartmouth.
Dartmouth without the Greek system it's like imagining peanut butter without jelly, Hanover winter without snow, booting without rallying. For more than 60 percent of eligible Dartmouth students who are currently affiliated with a Greek organization, it would mean a completely different college experience.
The panelists' various perspectives reflect the many facets of the important continent, Special Collections librarian Jay Satterfield, who moderated the discussion, said in an interview with The Dartmouth.
Fall term at Dartmouth always means several things: leaf peepers, a new worst class ever and pledge term entertainment. But this year Hanover is graced by the presence of a few of America's most prominent politicians during the Republican primary debate.
"Last year there was a lot of success and customers requested longer dates," she said. "We polled the vendors who also agreed to extend the market dates, because they had product and were happy to do it."
As a long line of Dartmouth students and Upper Valley residents snaked outside of Jesse's Steaks, Seafood and Tavern on May 19, visitors were expecting much more than food, according to Jennifer Packard, director of corporate relations for the Blue Sky Restaurant Group, which owns Jesse's. Jon Huntsman Jr., the former Republican governor of Utah and former United States Ambassador to China, made an appearance at the Hanover restaurant as part of his highly-publicized five-day tour of New Hampshire, which many political pundits think will precede a presidential campaign announcement.
Lawyers for two university presses and an academic publisher proposed an injunction that would prohibit Georgia State University professors from providing students with unlimited copyrighted material without paying licensing fees to publishers, Inside Higher Ed reported. If the injunction passes, the university could be held liable if professors copy poems longer than 250 words, essays longer than 2,500 words or more than 1,000 words out of a book. The filing is the latest development in a three-year lawsuit filed in 2008 by Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press and SAGE Publications, with backing from the Association of American Publishers and the Copyright Clearance Center. Many professors currently copy unlimited materials for students under protection of "fair use," an exception to copyright law that gives educators leeway in terms of making texts available to students, Inside Higher Ed reported.
Dartmouth Medical School professor Bruce Stanton, along with colleagues from the College's Lung Biology Center of Biomedical Research Excellence, received a four-year grant of approximately $1.4 million from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation on May 2, Stanton said. Stanton who serves as director of the Lung Biology COBRE and is a DMS professor of microbiology and immunology will use a significant portion of the grant money to lead a team of Dartmouth researchers in continuing efforts to study the genetic disease and develop new therapies that target harmful bacteria. Stanton and his fellow researchers have received the same $1.4 million grant from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation every four years since 1997, Stanton said. The majority of first-year funding for the group's most recent grant will be used for cell biology tests and imaging, according to Stanton.
It goes without saying that Harry Potter is facetimey. And he doesn't even have to spend hours on the Hogwarts equivalent of the Collis porch to get it, because he's the Boy Who Lived. Between running shit on the Quiddich field and casually getting random brooms delivered to him in the Great Hall, Harry Potter can't avoid facetime. Which is fantastic for him, because he secretly loves it.
A low-flying Army National Guard helicopter located a group of kayakers including several Dartmouth students that was believed to be missing early Friday morning, according to kayaker Chelsea Liddell '11. Although group members had prepared for the possibility of spending a night outdoors while kayaking in White Mountains National Park, their intent was not communicated to friends who became worried and alerted the authorities when the group did not return, Liddell said.

The University of Michigan Board of Regents passed a new policy on Thursday extending the "maximum allowable pre-tenure probationary period" for professors from eight to 10 years, Insider Higher Ed reported. The Senate Assembly the faculty's governing body voted 54-1 against the plan at a meeting in January and expressed concern that the extension would lead to increased tenure requirements. The Board, however, voted to extend the probationary timeline because faculty members often require a longer time to accumulate a body of research as academia becomes increasingly interdisciplinary, University of Michigan Provost Phil Hanlon said in an interview with Inside Higher Ed. Hanlon also cited decreasing grant funding and shifting demographics among faculty members as reasons for the new policy. Although all schools will be allowed to extend the probationary period, the governing body of each institution will determine whether or not to change its current policy, Inside Higher Ed reported.
Spring term at Dartmouth doesn't just mean melting snow and facetime on the Green it means prospies. Lots of them. Think hoards of high schoolers (the prob is the new schmob) roaming campus in search of future profile pics with Keggy and their first games of pong.
As much as people complain about living in the Dartmouth bubble, everyone has to admit that the local food is pretty decent, given that it comes from the middle of the wilderness. And by "pretty decent" I mean tasty, relatively affordable and often available by delivery. While places like Boloco and EBAs let you order online, thus allowing you to avoid even having to utter the words, "for delivery please," many get frustrated when a certain restaurant sometimes declines to deliver. I'm obviously talking about the Jewel of India and its deliciously addictive Indian food.
Animal House is easily one of the best-known Dartmouth media references of all time, but it's difficult to truly appreciate how much movies like "Animal House" have affected the way outsiders and students perceive our school. From helicopter parents asking tour guides if Dartmouth "really is like Animal House'" to our habit of partying four nights a week, the film will always reflect the nature of our school to a certain extent. But there are many other pop culture references to Dartmouth that also typecast our school accurately or not.
Mike: As a '14, I'm really excited for my first Winter term at Dartmouth. I'm from San Diego, so living in the snow is something that is completely new to me and the novelty still hasn't worn off. When I walk around campus I'm reminded of Bambi on ice. I might just go nuts and start making snow angels, throwing snowballs at strangers and shoveling snow simply because I've never done these things before. Seriously though, I am looking forward to a real winter. Hockey on the pond, sledding on the golf course and sitting in front of a fire when it's actually cold outside these are the things I've been missing out on in California.
