Leukart: Ten Years Later

By Hank Leukart | June 9, 2011

I spent the month of April this year racing on foot across Morocco with a camera, working as a television producer on ABC's upcoming adventure-race show, "Expedition Impossible." For 20 days straight, I tried to catch my breath, chasing firemen, professional football players, an 18-year-old girl from Kansas and famous, blind mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer across sand dunes and around ancient Kasbahs. Surprisingly, it was only the second most bizarre job I've ever had.

Editors' Note

Catherine Treyz / The Dartmouth Senior Staff In about 15,051 words, we have attempted to sum up your four year tenure at the College but how could one issue encapsulate all your experiences in such a limited space? While it may be easy to remind you all of the day you first stepped onto Robo lawn for your DOC trip, ran around the bonfire during your first homecoming and won your first game of pong (or if you haven't what have you been doing all of Senior Week?), for many of you the experiences that stand out most are not those that appear on the Dartmouth bucket list, but rather the moments that were uniquely your own. Sure, jumping into the icy waters of Occom Pond during the Polar Bear Swim might have severely impacted your body temperature, but what about that moment in class when you realized what you wanted to write your thesis on?

Envelope containing suspicious substance found at College

By The Dartmouth Staff | June 9, 2011

An envelope containing a suspicious substance, since determined to be harmless, was found in Thornton Hall on Wednesday evening, according to Justin Anderson, director of media relations for the College. The FBI, Hanover Police, Hanover Fire Department, Lebanon Fire Department, Safety and Security and the College's Environmental Health and Safety Department all responded and secured the building, Anderson said. EHSD, the hazardous materials response team, tested the substance on site and found it to be harmless, according to a campus-wide safety alert email from Director of Safety and Security and College Proctor Harry Kinne. Representatives from the FBI were on campus on Wednesday because the incident had "homeland security implications" given the history of anthrax attacks in the country after Sept.

Wang: Let's Be Reasonable

By Ethan Wang | May 31, 2011

College President Jim Yong Kim definitely has his faults. His administration has much to improve when it comes to transparency, many pressing problems facing the College are still not properly addressed and some of the policy changes passed under his watch are downright preposterous.
