Ying-Qi Wong / The Dartmouth Campus issues of a sensitive nature are typically approached timidly perhaps in small discussion groups or piece-meal administrative action but in the Dartmouth Dance and Theater Ensemble's new show "Undue Influence," the complicated issue of sexual assault is laid bare on stage in a thought-provoking performance. "Undue Influence" is an evocative fusion of modern dance and theater that addresses the issue of sexual assault in a college campus environment. The piece is an artistic portrayal of the darker side of Dartmouth nightlife.
This may be the last column I write for The Dartmouth. A big thanks goes out to everybody editors, students, staff and citizens who lent their attention, in one way or another, to this rather ramshackle venture in amateur opinion writing. During my time here, I've occasionally worried that I wasn't taking advantage of the "Dartmouth Experience."

Dani Wang / The Dartmouth Staff Washington Post columnist and blogger Ezra Klein entertained students and community members by lambasting the United States' political system which he said "seems to suck and keeps on sucking, no matter how often we ask it to stop sucking" in a lively lecture Wednesday. Speaking to a captivated audience in the Rockefeller Center, Klein said that in order to restore the system's effectiveness, more attention needs to be paid to the political process's tendency for obstructionism and brinkmanship, rather than to blaming individual politicians for the government's failure to produce policy. The most significant feature of the American political landscape today is the filibuster, Klein said.
KATHARINE PUJOL / The Dartmouth Staff When Greta Meyer '11 joined the women's lacrosse team as a freshman before the 2008 season, the Big Green squad was in the process of rebuilding.
For seven long years, NBC's "The Office" has been a cornerstone of primetime comedy. With a phenomenal cast of characters and brilliantly written episodes, the series never failed to entertain.
The small percentage of students from low-income and working-class families who complete their bachelor's degrees will prevent the United States from reaching the Obama administration's plan to have the largest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020, according to a study released by the Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education.
The end of my first year at Dartmouth is rapidly approaching, and many of us freshmen are in disbelief that a quarter of our time at this school has already passed.
