Different Strokes for Different Folks

By Will Strokher | October 8, 2009

While slower than most colleges in the movement towards gender equality, Dartmouth finally began admitting female students in 1972. This important victory in women's rights has certainly led to many significant changes within campus culture, sex and otherwise. After countless hours of historical investigation and off-the-record interviews, I have compiled a thorough timeline of noteworthy events for our "sisters" at Dartmouth. Sept.

Paving their Paths

By Karen Iorio | October 8, 2009

Although women only began graduating from the College slightly more than 25 years ago, some Daughters of Dartmouth have already reached prominence in a multitude of fields including entertainment, government and business (no pressure, '10s who have recently littered the corporate world with your resume droppings). After four years in this cutthroat, frozen wasteland, Dartmouth's alumnae seem to have had no trouble conquering the real world. In addition to the stress of normal Dartmouth life, some of the College's earliest female graduates faced even greater obstacles.

Cohog Hums

By Priya Krishna | October 8, 2009

Actresses, chief executives, congresswomen and Olympic gold medalists: It's no exaggeration that many female alumni of Dartmouth are kind of a big deal nowadays. What you probably did not know is that 37 years ago at Dartmouth, these accomplished women may have received a welcome that went a little something like this: "Our cohogs, they play four/ They're a bunch of dirty whores/ With a knick knack baddy whack send the bitches home." In the spring of 1975, at the Hums singing competition during Green Key Weekend, then-Dean of the College Carroll Brewster declared "Our Cohogs" the winning song the most creative and original that he heard all weekend, according to records found in Rauner Special Collections Library. This song, "Our Cohogs" cohog being short for coed hog is one example of Dartmouth's history of the backlash that greeted the College's decision to become a coeducational institution.

And the Music You're Missing

By Kate Farley | October 1, 2009

I'm musically oblivious to the point that I'm often embarrassed to blitz out song requests to my sorority because it reveals just how behind the times I really am (I will categorically deny requesting "Party In The U.S.A.," um, yesterday). Given that this is my baseline level of awareness, it's possible that I've totally overlooked a sick Hanover-based music scene, but my band-geek-turned-art-school-hipster friends from home are full of stories about jamming to underground, alternative rock bands in trendy local clubs and grinding to recorded music in the sweaty Heorot basement doesn't exactly measure up. It's not like the College to fall short in any one area like that (forgive me if I sound like I swallowed a PR machine, but even the most cynical of us have to admit that our little bubble is chock full of opportunities, assuming one is sober and conscious enough to appreciate them). As a government major, I've been fortunate enough to let countless prospects slip through my fingers the bustling New Hampshire political scene provides all the schmoozing and thankless campaign work any aspiring government mogul could ever need. But what about our musically-minded intellectuals?

Ask Miss Muffin Top

By Miss Muffin Top | October 1, 2009

Dear Miss Muffin Top, Who the hell are you? Bissell Babe Dear Bissell Babe, You may think Miss Muffin Top is some nobody, or worse, that I'm related to that dreadful cousin who sat on her tuffet eating her curds and whey. And you wouldn't be entirely wrong. Miss Muffin Top enjoys dairy almost as much as she enjoys fine wines.

Music around the Block

By Erin Lansky | October 1, 2009

Let's face it: Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA" is stuck in your head 24/7 And, although you'd like to blame those oh-so-juvenile '13s for your Disney-starlet sweet-tooth, chances are you heard the hit at Heorot.

The Music You Know

By Emily Fletcher | October 1, 2009

Dartmouth, we have an addiction problem. I'm not talking about Blitz or Keystone. This addiction finds us in our rooms, in basements, even on DOC Trips.

What's your Social Site?

By Karen Iorio | September 24, 2009

Upon starting your first year at Dartmouth, you probably received a copy of the Green Book, which contains a picture of each member of your class paired with some personal information limited to hometown and high school.

Editors' Note

By Jen Argote and Amita Kulkarni | September 24, 2009

Alex Rivadeneira / The Dartmouth Senior Staff N ow that we are officially a week into our senior year at Dartmouth, it seems like only yesterday Jen and I were eagerly friending random members of the Class of 2010 on Facebook with the notion, that, "Hey, we are going to be fellow '10s, so of course we must be friends by default." In our three years here, Facebook and online social networking sites have transformed the way we communicate, and have influenced the people we choose to know.
