Point: Study Abroad

By Amy Davis | April 25, 2008

The study abroad experience makes your years at Dartmouth worthwhile. There, I've said it. It's just undeniable fact, a kernel of truth that can only be known by the select few -- or rather the majority of Dartmouth students -- who spend 10 weeks somewhere else for a change. Thing is, it isn't the time abroad that changes you.

Le Tour de Frats

By Joanna Patterson | April 18, 2008

Talk of pong inevitably leads to talk of basements and vice versa. So when it comes to pong-worthy basements, how do each of the houses stack -- and rack -- up? Beyond the ever-referenced frat and sorority stereotypes that dominate our perceptions of houses, the pure geography of basements plays a major role in dictating the number of tables, the rules of play and inevitably the quality of pong, regardless of ability. Starting out on Wheelock Street, the first things that come to mind about Alpha Delta's basement are the floor, smell and overall ambience.
