In Case You Were Wondering

By Katie Sinclair | January 9, 2014

In case you were wondering, we have now marked approximately 2,014 rotations of the earth around the sun since the birth of some guy in Bethlehem. I say “approximately” because evidence suggests that Jesus was born between 7 and 2 B.C., so the count’s a little off. We could just call it “Common Era,” satisfying all non-Christians, though I know Dionysius Exiguus, the monk who coined “anno Domini” in 525 A.D., would be just a tad disappointed.

HOME MEMOIRS:Literally what is "Three For Ship?" Why is its website so confusing? DICK'S HOUSE:While there is, by definition, nothing trendy about Dick's House, the difficulty one has getting an appointment seems to imply it's the hottest spot on campus. COURSE REJECTION:Somehow not getting into the classes you wanted stings almost as much as getting rejected for formal.

The Known and Never Known

By Alejandra Herrera and Marian Lurio | November 14, 2013

As the fall winds down, we find ourselves growing more and more nostalgic of our time here. They say you get wiser with age, but as the sun sets on our Dartmouth careers, we feel we are becoming less knowledgeable and less relevant. We did some research and uncovered dirt on aspects of Dartmouth that ’17s will never know, as well as things only they (so far) have experienced.

A Room With Many Views

By Maddie Brown and Maggie Shields | November 14, 2013

The 1902 Room seemed like the perfect place for me to kill some time. I didn’t want the stuffiness of Sanborn, the facetime of First Floor Berry or the loneliness of the stacks, and the 1902 Room was just there. Beckoning me. I plop myself down in one of the 77 chairs and pretended to do work for quite some time.

What Have We Done

By Amanda Smith and Seanie Civale | November 14, 2013

Hello. Merry finals season. Happy Thanksgiving. Merry Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa. Happy New Year. Good winterim. The next time you hear from us, all of this will be over, grades will be in, turkeys eaten in celebration of things that should not be celebrated, presents unwrapped, resolutions made and resolutions shattered.

The Alternative Seven

By Luke McCann and Natalie Van Brunt | November 14, 2013

A few weeks ago, as I walked home from Collis, I witnessed a couple in the middle of the Green. Fully going at it. At 9 p.m. Not a single passerby intervened, giggled or ogled. Actually, no one so much as flinched. This, Dartmouth, is our cry for help.

In Case You Were Wondering

By Katie Sinclair | November 14, 2013

In case you were wondering, ping pong, or table tennis, is probably older than you think it is — some form of it has existed since the mid-1800s. Modern paddles and balls have been around since the 1950s, and by all accounts, some variation of pong has been played at Dartmouth since then. I could have made my last column of the term be something deep and insightful, but instead I have chosen to write a treatise on pong.

Editor's Note

By Amelia Acosta and Tyler Bradford | November 7, 2013

This week we explore the experiences of students whose lives are at cultural crossroads and the ways that students deal with long-distance relationships, both of which can evoke that same sense of confusion.

TTLG: A Spot on the Continuum

By Kyle McGoey | November 7, 2013

As I sat in a meeting at my fraternity the other night, slowly sinking into the leather couch, the house’s president posed a question that, simple and obvious though it might seem, really made me think. “Why did you join a fraternity?”

In case you were wondering, daylight savings time, which ended last Sunday, was first proposed by Georges Vernon Hudson in 1896, not, according to popular belief, by our buddy Ben Franklin.

This Is Just What I Look Like

By Caren Duane | November 7, 2013

You know that person. You pass them on the street, you sit next to them in class, you see them in FoCo. You are scared of them. You have never actually talked to them, and you might not even know their name, but you sense they are an angry creature, possibly without a soul, who hates everyone.

Does absence really make the heart grow fonder?

Loving the Distance

By Lauren Huff and Michelle Li | November 7, 2013

It’s getting to that point in the year when ’17s are starting to think of Dartmouth as home. The longer we stay here, the less we think of our hometowns, and surely, for many ’17s, some ties to home have already started to slip away. Going back in three weeks almost seems a bit bittersweet.

Forever Hallowed

By Mary Liza Hartong and Maddie Brown | October 31, 2013

There was a time when dressing up as a rabbit was the highlight of your year. You heard the final click of the sewing machine, put down your Pokemon cards, took your eyes off of PBS Kids and stared in awe at the fluffy white suit in your mother’s hands.
