The World Is your Facetimey Oyster

August 11, 2011

At a school where study spaces in the library double as social spaces and the aisle in our late central dining spot is described as a "runway," Dartmouth students are well accustomed to the concept of seeing and being seen, otherwise known as the both beloved and dreaded facetime. Certainly, the small size, relative isolation and unique social scene at Dartmouth all promote the significance that facetime plays on this campus.

Unwanted Facetime

By Angie Yang | August 11, 2011

I had my first encounter with Bored@Baker this past Winter term when I pledged a sorority. My friend informed me that she had discovered a post that mentioned my name, and I worried for a quick second that someone had found my poorly advised ARK Music Factory video and it had gone viral (just kidding, obviously I had already sold the rights to a huge record label). Unfortunately, I had not found YouTube stardom instead, the post went something along the lines of, "I can't believe [sorority A] let [sorority B] steal one of their Yangs!" Aside from that time that my friend took pictures of me doing a line of coke off of a hooker's torso in central Argentina and posted them on Facebook (hi future employers, I hope you've picked up on my humor by this point), this was probably the first time that I felt like I had received unwanted facetime. And I didn't do anything to deserve it, other than pledge the sorority where I felt most comfortable.

Prof. Brooks earns historic tenure

August 8, 2011

ASHLEY BLUM / The Dartmouth Staff Government professor Deborah Brooks became an associate professor at the College on July 1, making her the first female junior faculty member to attain tenure in the government department in 18 years. Brooks, whose past research has focused on public opinion, polling, campaign advertising, and the role of gender in politics, is currently finalizing a book "He Runs, She Runs: Gender Stereotypes, Double Standards, and Political Campaigns" that has been accepted for publication by Princeton University Press and will be released in 2012. Two other female faculty members in the government department Linda Fowler and Lisa Baldez already have tenure, but they were hired at the senior level and received tenure in Dartmouth's government department at the time of hire. After earning her bachelor's degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1993, Brooks went on to earn her Ph.D.

Walk of Shame or Stride of Pride?

By Reese Ramponi | August 8, 2011

I did my first walk of shame' this summer. I walked out of a frat house at 7 a.m. on a Thursday morning wearing a neon dress and a even brighter neon helmet (bring your childhood dress-up bins, '15s, because you will use everything in them for flair) and made the 15-minute trek across campus to my off-campus house.
