Dartmouth is a bizarre place to spend your formative years. Four years in Hanover ensure access to a world of affluence and privilege for the rest of your life. In the Dartmouth bubble, we incessantly talk about how beer is free and North Face jackets are trendy.

My introduction to secret societies was admittedly a little unusual. While visiting colleges, my mom picked up a book about the secret societies at Yale aptly named "Secret Society Girl: An Ivy League Novel" by Diana Peterfreund. The book described the tapping process in great detail and I thought the whole thing seemed contrived and ridiculous.

As a trial for its Rivercrest development project, the College is selling two factory-built homes, one on Route 10 in West Lebanon and another on Grasse Road in Hanover, the Valley News reported on Tuesday. The Hanover house is for sale only to College employees and is part of Dartmouth's program to keep affordable housing available in Hanover, while the other home is for sale to the public. The Rivercrest development project will likely begin in late 2010 if approved by the Hanover Planning Board, and will provide 300 housing units for College and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center employees, the Valley News reported. Dartmouth is trying to build modular homes for the project because they cost less than fully constructed houses and can be completed more quickly. The College maintains an option to repurchase the home at a capped price in the future.

Forbes Magazine ranked the Tuck School of Business second after the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University in their 2009 MBA rankings, released last week. Forbes, in their sixth biannual ranking of business schools, determined the rankings by assessing the five-year total compensation after graduation, excluding the sum of tuition and forgone compensation, and also by surveying alumni. "The personal and rigorous education at Tuck delivered by a faculty of thought leaders, the emphasis on ethics and leadership and the fantastic alumni network lead our graduates to the top of their respective fields," Tuck Dean Paul Danos said in a school press release. In the last ranking in 2007, Tuck was ranked number one.

The Ledyard Canoe Club is taking initial steps to rebuild Tit-comb Cabin, which burned down in what the Hanover Police called a "suspicious" fire on May 6. The cabin is located on Gilman Island on the Connecticut River. Greg Sokol, former Ledyard vice president, said the project is "still in the planning stages" but lumber will be ordered during the 2009-2010 academic year. Once the wood has been dried, it will be transported to Gilman Island for construction of the cabin in Summer 2010, he said.
