Off-Turmoil

By Sara Kassir | February 20, 2014

This is the article that I’ve wanted to write for almost a year. I’ve put it off for so long because I don’t like being controversial for the sake of stirring the pot.

In Case You Were Wondering

By Katie Sinclair | February 20, 2014

In case you were wondering, the Dubia cockroach, or Blaptica dubia, has the ability to move, twitch and stay very much alive even after you put a pin through its head, cut off its legs with scissors and rip out its digestive tract. This is a fact that a large chunk of biology majors at Dartmouth are well aware of, though I seem to be the only one bothered by it.

Permanence is a funny thing, and something we have been increasingly thinking about recently. Though we have both made a few relatively permanent decisions, ranging from getting a tattoo to choosing where to get our degrees, our lives up until this point have remained pretty fluid. As children, others always made the most important decisions for us.

We may or may not have been cyborgs in high school. We somehow managed to attend every meeting for each club even vaguely related to our interests, won awards for sports and woke up chipper at the ungodly hour of 6 a.m.

Through the Looking Glass: Here and Queer

By Lyra A. McKee | February 13, 2014

Every Dartmouth student probably remembers the day they arrived on campus as a wide-eyed freshman. For me, however, the day I flew up to Dartmouth for Dartmouth Outing Club First-Year Trips was also the day I came out of the closet as gay.

What Have We Done?

By Seanie Civale and Amanda Smith | February 13, 2014

Like many of our peers, we keep a mental list of all of the big things we need to accomplish at Dartmouth and beyond. Due to this ambitious mental life list, we often think of ourselves as being destined for greatness.

In Case You Were Wondering

By Katie Sinclair | February 13, 2014

In case you were wondering, Feb. 13-15 used to mark the Roman feast of Lupercalia, during which two young Roman men would sacrifice a dog and two goats, dress in goatskin and run around the city whacking people with bloody strips of skin from the aforementioned goats.

Rejected

From this year’s theme to “A Very Grimm Winter Carnival” to the many ski-themed posters of Carnival’s early days, every year, a unique Winter Carnival fills campus with a buzz of excitement and produces a poster made in the artistic styles of the time.

Last-minute snowstorm arrives just in time for Carnival

By Zac Hardwick | February 6, 2014

Though nearly a foot of snow piled up Wednesday on the Green, rising temperatures in the month of January and a general lack of sufficient snowfall over the past few years have stymied classic Winter Carnival events and threatened the sanctity of the 103-year long tradition itself.

Editor's Note

By Jessica Avitabile and Laura Weiss | February 6, 2014

Whether the snow sculpture is a massive throne, an intricate pirate ship, a muddy cupcake or just two blocks of ice in the middle of the Green, we can always count on some dedicated students to build the Winter Carnival icon, an unavoidable thread that goes back many dozens of years through Dartmouth’s history. In 1994, one student jumped into a freezing pond and became a part of that story.
