Top 5 Things We'd Do If We Had All the Time in the World

By The Dartmouth Mirror Staff | February 21, 2013

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.

Timed Trials

By Mary Liza Hartong | February 21, 2013

Who puts the "dart" in Dartmouth? Why none other than our very own Track and Field team! While most of us are making a beeline for the nearest calorie-laden delicacy at the FoCo dessert counter, these fine folks are lacing up for a nice four-to-12-mile run. A typical day for a Track and Field athlete involves morning classes, practice at 3 p.m.

A Deep Breath: Tips for Time to Yourself

By Sara Kassir | February 21, 2013

I have yet to meet a Dartmouth student who can't find a way to keep busy. Regardless of course loads or extracurricular commitments, being at least a little bit in a rush a lot of the time seems to be the norm on this campus.

Founded four years ago by Peter Blair '12, Vita describes itself as an advocate for the pro-life cause that aims to speak out against abortion, embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia and capital punishment.

Speaking Out: Being Pro-Life at Dartmouth

Mulin Xiong / The Dartmouth Correction appended### The pro-life coalition formally constituted as Vita Clamantis is best known on campus for its controversial anti-abortion display last spring. The 546 American flags that peppered the Gold Coast lawn each commemorated the 100,000 abortions in the United States since the monumental Roe v.

The Dartmouth Bucket List

By Lauren Vespoli | February 14, 2013

If you saw last week's issue of The Mirror, you might remember reading that "natural selection has spent hundreds of years getting rid of people like your friend, who think it is a good idea to jump through the ice and into the water of a frozen pond," or that the Polar Bear Plunge is exclusively for "morons." Moderately passive aggressive challenge accepted, though I had already planned to do the plunge since I never had before, and my last opportunity as a Dartmouth undergraduate had finally arrived. When Friday morning finally came around, I lay in bed praying that impending blizzard would roll into town and cancel the event, subsequently depriving freshmen of new profile pictures and saving me from icy agony.

Rebel With a Cause

By Maggie Shields | February 14, 2013

A grey SUV rolls slowly past you on Tuck Mall. Crap. You know with just a glance that it's Safety and Security, and you're not sure if the College permits making snow angels on the street. Safety and Security often seems omnipresent on this campus and often at the worst times but many students, myself included, don't know a lot about what goes on behind the scenes.

Eating Local

Carnival does not affect professors

By Karna Adam | February 7, 2013

While students may be looking forward to wintery fun and having no classes during Winter Carnival, professors said they generally do not partake in traditional events and are planning to use the long weekend to travel. Theater department academic assistant Effie Cummings said she does not attend most Carnival events but enjoys watching students build the snow sculpture.
