This past month has seen exciting and much-needed developments in expanding study-abroad opportunities. The new offerings include a film foreign study program in Los Angeles and a public policy seminar that concludes with a trip to India. However, the College has a long way to go if it seeks to bring its full array of study abroad options in line with student interests and expectations.

Dimensions: A Welcome to Dartmouth
(02/22/13 4:00am)
Learn a ton of languages! And we mean really learn, not just memorize the foreign sex phrases and pick-up lines in Urban Outfitters books.
Watch every episode of "Law and Order: SVU" in order, if only to pick up on instances of subtle sexual tension between Stabler and Benson.
Memorize an infinite amount of inane trivia to finally best that smug Ken Jennings (and Watson) on "Jeopardy."
Do your laundry, vacuum and go to the gym. Come on guys, the basics.
Go through the Buzzfeed archives and read every list in history. Corgis in sweaters and Beyonce gifs never get old.

As we move toward spring term and prepare to welcome prospective students from the Class of 2017 to Hanover, we are disappointed to hear that the admissions office is considering wholesale changes in programming for Dimensions weekend. Given that Dartmouth prides itself on putting together an exceptional Dimensions experience to welcome and woo the incoming class, we question the motives behind this change. The proposed alterations namely, eliminating the Dimensions show and its cast of freshman students strike deeply at Dartmouth's brand as an institution of higher learning. We understand the College's desire to highlight its intellectual side, but feel strongly that the proposed changes will do nothing to address the perceived problems with our yield.

Michael Haneke's "Amour," which features French actors Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva, follows the tender love story of an elderly Parisian couple as they are nearing the end of their lives. The film depicts the two struggling with the most basic human abilities, such as health upkeep and mobility. However, "Amour" also asks life's larger questions, such as what love and companionship mean when death is imminent. "Amour" ultimately explores these questions with the perspective that though each individual's journey is short, the strength of love is timeless. Laura Sim

"The Color of Friendship," an intense reflection on race relations and Apartheid that offered a lot more than your average Disney Channel Original Move.
"Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest." As obvious as the overwhelming environmental message was, we might have missed it as kids. It was "Avatar" before anyone had bright blue side-boob.
"Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century," even if the hit single "Zoom Zoom Zoom" by Protozoa isn't as great as we remember.
"The Sandlot." You're killing me, Smalls!
"Space Jam." No explanation needed.

With the impending departure of undergraduate judicial affairs director Nathan Miller at the end of this academic year, the College is in a position to make an influential hire. As the person who deals with student misconduct and disciplinary action, the undergraduate judicial affairs director must uphold rules in a transparent manner and focus on critical and sensitive aspects of student life. Given that a search committee within the Dean of the College's office is set to review applications for the job ("Undergraduate Judicial Affairs seeks director," Feb. 12), we hope that the College makes the most of this opportunity by appointing someone who will revamp what is regarded by most students as an obscure and intimidating system.

While Steven Spielberg's historical drama "Lincoln" (2012) hit theaters last November, the film has continued to rivet audiences with its sweeping tale of the American Civil War. Inspired by Doris Kearns Goodwin's biography of Lincoln, "Team of Rivals," "Lincoln" recounts the 16th president's remarkable efforts to pass the 13th Amendment, a heated reform that would entirely abolish slavery throughout the nation. In the film, Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) struggles with his personal and political demons in the midst of this war-ridden era with the help of his wife, Mary Todd (Sally Field). Laura Sim

Winter Carnival is a time when students take a break from the pressures of coursework to come together and celebrate the season. Many Greek houses will host parties that are open to all of campus and alcohol will flow freely. This spirit of revelry unfortunately brings a darker side to Carnival, as sexual assault cases historically rise during big weekends. As students enjoy the weekend, they must keep this increased risk in mind, take necessary steps to prevent assault from occurring and remain aware of resources available to assault victims.

As a Dartmouth alum, it was great to see the front page of Friday's issue covering the lecture I gave on Jan. 31. Unfortunately, the story somewhat mischaracterizes what I said. Two elements in particular deserve correction.

Roosevelt's distant cousin and eventual lover (Laura Linney) of a momentous weekend in 1939 that saw the unprecedented visit by the reigning British monarch, George VI (Samuel West), to the president's home in upstate New York. In the backdrop of this visit, "Hyde Park on Hudson" explores Britain's nearing involvement in Wold War II and the personal problems that Roosevelt (Bill Murray) must endure. Gordon Reed

"Heathers," the '80s cult classic high school drama features some of the best hair and best outfits ever shown in feature-length film.
"Drop Dead Gorgeous," a mockumentary about beauty pageant contestants in Minnesota. Strong enough accents to keep you laughing through the cold.
"The Day After Tomorrow," a disaster flick starring Jake Gyllenhaal that shows that things could always get worse, weather-wise.
"Jaws," a movie scary enough to require a cuddle buddy while simultaneously reminding you that you're not always missing out when you're not at the beach.
"10 Things I Hate About You," because every cold day needs a happy ending. Preferably featuring Heath Ledger.

The first month of Winter term has seen a storm of controversy wash across these pages. From incidents of racism to related columns that have provoked fiery reactions in our community at large, it has been a busy and tumultuous few weeks. In a visible departure from its typical apathy, the student body has inundated The Dartmouth with an impressive volume of guest column submissions and letters to the editor vastly more than we can ever hope to publish. On this note, we would like to take the opportunity to remind campus of two key points.

Inspired by the events of the 2004 Thailand tsunami, director Juan Antonio Bayona's "The Impossible" details one family's incredible fight for survival amidst a country in chaos. The film finds Henry (Ewan McGregor), his wife Maria (Naomi Watts) and their three sons enjoying a post-Christmas vacation in tropical Thailand, only to soon find themselves in one of the worst natural disasters in modern history. As the film recounts the parents' undying efforts to protect their children, scenes of heart-wrenching tragedy illustrate the compassion among family members. The film ultimately moves beyond scenes of tension, and instead, develops character depth, making sure to garner audience emotions. Laura Sim

Last Saturday morning, residents of the first floor of Brown Hall awoke to find racist graffiti scribbled on a white board ("Racist graffiti found in freshman cluster," Jan. 22). Just yesterday, our community received another message from the President's Office, informing us that race-based verbal harassment took place this week in the Class of 1953 Commons ("Second bias incident reported," Jan. 25). This campus has seen three incidents of racial bias in less than four months last November, residents of the third floor of Brown Hall found racist remarks written on campaign materials supporting President Barack Obama's re-election bid ("Incident Team reacts to bigoted vandalism," Nov. 9, 2012). The continued occurrence of these events is simply unacceptable.
