Behind the Register With Kathy McTaggart

By Sara Kassir | April 3, 2014

Last week, when I introduced myself to Collis employee Kathy McTaggart and asked her if she would be willing to tell me a little about herself, she blushed. She wasn’t sure if she was the right person to do an interview. Luckily for me, another Collis employee overheard our conversation, caught her eye and encouraged her to give me a chance to formally introduce her to campus.

Everyone knows Vermont’s Woodstock, Stowe and Norwich as the more famous “classic New England” towns near Hanover, but a bunch of hidden gems can be found in our lovely neighbors to the South: “the Lebs” — Lebanon and West Lebanon.

In Case You Were Wondering

By Katie Sinclair | April 3, 2014

In case you were wondering, Isaac Newton’s Principia, which set the groundwork for Newtonian physics, almost didn’t see publication, since the Royal Society’s finances were depleted after publishing “De Historia Piscium” or “The History of Fish.” Despite being a charming collection of engravings, the text sold poorly.

Senior spring is hilariously weird. We’ve tried to understand it and the way it makes us feel, which means that we have spent much of the past week sitting on our bed (Amanda) and futon (Seanie), thinking.

Editors' Note

By Emma Moley and Jasmine Sachar | April 3, 2014

Home is a fluid concept for college students. There’s the home you grew up in — the family, the friends, the middle school teachers you make small talk with in the grocery store.

Is Dartmouth on the Decline?

Recent controversies surrounding Greek life, sexual assault, administration upheavals and most recently, declines in application numbers have spurred some to speculate that Dartmouth is, to put it lightly, at a crossroads — perhaps even a slump. Upon hearing about the 14 percent drop in regular decision applicants this January, many students voiced concerns that the value of their degree will drop. However, the College has been no stranger to controversy in past decades, many of which touched upon issues still relevant today. This raises the question: is Dartmouth’s current predicament indeed unprecedented? And if not, how has the College recovered from similar controversies?

Students Burdened By Check-In Holds

By Kalie Marsicano | March 27, 2014

The email came last Friday afternoon with a clear message and simple instructions. “All students in residence are required to officially check-in online,” it read, providing a one-click path to Banner Student. After the first deadline on Wednesday, students could still check in with a $50 late fee tacked on. Until checking in, students cannot receive credit for classes and may even face administrative withdrawal.

You've Been Punk'd

What Have We Done?

By Seanie Civale and Amanda Smith | March 27, 2014

Driving for long distances can be scary, hilarious and cathartic. I sometimes tend to think that things inevitably erupt in chaos — that the world is a big and terrifying pot we float around in and hope doesn’t bubble over on our side. But road trips prove that things can go wrong and still end up so right.
