The company's signature piece, performed as the finale at both of last week's shows, was Ailey's 1960 composition "Revelations." According to the program, the piece "has been seen by more people around the world than any [other] dance piece."
Dimensions weekend for admitted students will begin today, a scheduling decision met with much contention, as events are scheduled to end just hours before the Jewish holiday of Passover begins on Saturday night. Despite some students' irritation with the schedule overlap, this is not the first year that Dimensions has coincided with Passover.
Four candidates for the vacant position of Sexual Assault Awareness Program Coordinator concluded their on-campus interviews Monday with a final presentation to Dartmouth students. The Center for Women and Gender, which initiated the search, hopes that a decision can be reached soon and an offer accepted this summer, according to CWG Director Xenia Markowitt.
The New Hampshire Democratic Party appointed Dartmouth Medical School professor Jay Buckey as co-chair to the 2008 State Party Convention on Thursday, according to Seacoast Online. The Convention is scheduled to be held May 17 at the Henry J. McLaughlin Middle School in Manchester. Buckey sought the democratic bid for the N.H. senate seat against Republican incumbent John Sununu earlier this year but dropped out of the race in February. Buckey, a former astronaut, received his medical degree from Cornell Medical School and served as a member of the U.S. Air Force Reserve. The other co-chair of the committee will be Jackie Weatherspoon, a former member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives.
Veteran waitress Becky Schneider has worked at Lou's Restaurant and Bakery in Hanover for 21 years. She has left the restaurant three times since 1978, often recruited for new positions by one of her loyal customers -- pursuing new work at a plasma-torch consumable company, working at Shorty's Mexican Roadhouse in West Lebanon, and drifting off to Florida in her early twenties.
"There was a whole table of older males," she said. "I felt so stupid. I wanted to learn more so I could be on their level."
"Before breaks we have to gear up and hire charter buses from other companies," David Fox, the company's general manager, said.
"They're a really interesting group. They believe souls are trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation." Campbell said, sporting a handmade tunic to complete his persona at the first ever Medieval Games Night on Wednesday.
In 1983, the Food and Drug Administration introduced a ban on blood donations from men who have had sex with other men since 1977. These men are 60 times more likely than the general population and 800 times more likely than other first-time blood donors to be HIV positive, according to the FDA's website.

Though a new study has shown that the influenza virus favors cold weather, students on Dartmouth's frigid campus seem to have avoided the illness. If sales of over-the-counter medicines and the number of Dick's House appointments are any measure, however, other illnesses run rampant.
Perhaps the most impressive group in this regard, however, is the Beatles. All four band-mates went on to have long, successful musical careers on their own. With the release of "Liverpool 8," Ringo Starr's 14th studio album, the former Beatles drummer lets his endearing personality shine and proves that he can still rock at the age of 67.
Thus, Mraz's concert Thursday night at Alumni Hall provided the perfect excuse to roll my eyes while secretly taking pleasure in the catchy, funky pop that comprises his eclectic appeal.
Grammy Award winner Sharon Isbin happily captured audiences during her spellbinding classical guitar performance Saturday night at the Spaulding Auditorium. Her virtuosity on the instrument, which she cradled in her arms, was obvious; Isbin's left hand effortlessly flew up and down the frets as her right hand performed intricately complex finger-picking and strums.
While the rest of the student body was celebrating the end of finals on Dec. 10, campus musical and a cappella groups were preparing for a whole new set of stressful performances -- their annual winter tours. Traveling throughout the northeast, Texas and Europe, and encountering everything from vicious snowstorms to a boogie-ing Condolezza Rice, Dartmouth's musically inclined used the opportunity to fundraise, assimilate new members and above all, have a good time on the road.
Somewhere in her literary career, Cabot made the perplexing decision to switch from being the well-regarded author of books for young teenage girls ("The Princess Diaries") to being the author of adult fiction with such titles as "Big Boned," "Size 12 is Not Fat" and "Size 14 is Not Fat Either." These titles suggest that Meg Cabot is trying to write about real, imperfect people to whom her readership can relate. But with too-precious names like Tad Tocco, Cooper Cartwright and Gavin McGoren (wow, alliteration!), Cabot makes it hard to take her characters seriously. Additionally, the people she depicts are blatant stock characters: the Southern belle who calls people "fussbudgets," the hippie student activist sporting dreadlocks, the witty, shoe-loving gay friend.
I was amazed when I read that the Capitol Steps have been around for over 25 years and performed for five U.S. presidents. Equal parts clever, crude and cliche, the performance seemed much more on par with the group's Christmas office party beginnings than with a quarter-century of professional performing experience.
