Short Answer

Friday's Verbum Ultimum called for Dean of the College Sylvia Spears and Student Assembly to select an Organizational Adjudication Committee student board that is representative of the student body. What do you consider to be the ideal makeup of the board, and how should Spears and the Assembly populate it?

Peer institutions also respond to losses with cuts

After making significant cuts to operating budgets last winter, Dartmouth's peer institutions have again embarked on cost cutting this fall in light of endowment returns that continue to drop, while attempting to maintain financial aid programs and protect the quality of the student experience. "Colleges are trying as much as possible to preserve faculty and support services for students, and are looking for inefficiencies in the way they deliver non-academic services," Cornell Higher Education Research Institute director Ronald Ehrenberg said in an interview with The Dartmouth.

Show Me the Money: Corporate sponsorship of Dartmouth athletics

On DartmouthSports.com, advertisements for Muscle Milk the "ready to drink functional beverage" have become seemingly omnipresent.

The Power Rankings

So Dartmouth athletics is now partly sponsored by Muscle Milk. Cornell is apparently sponsored by some sort of gum (ba-dum-tsh). Psi U is sponsored by Jack Wills.

Imagine that you've just started dating the perfect guy. Now imagine that he has scabies according to Dick's House, that is (end scene honeymoon, eh?). You start taking scabies medication and advise your roommates to do the same.

The DM Manual of Style

Lauren Amery '10 has the unique ability of constructing seemingly expensive outfits at very low prices. Dressing in "hand-me-downs" of generations gone by, Amery grew up on a farm in Morristown, N.J., and did not have the opportunity to choose her own wardrobe until she was a high school student. Because both of her older siblings had moved on to pursue higher education, adolescent Amery was left in a position to explore her fashion sense. Still, Amery does not view her overall Dartmouth experience an extremely creative one, she said.

NEWS ANALYSIS

Relatively few students become nat'l scholars

Adam Levine '08, a Rhodes scholar currently studying for a Ph.D at the University of Oxford, has noticed something about the composition of his current group of peers. "Being on the ground at Oxford, I'm aware that there are very few Rhodes Scholars from Dartmouth," Levine told The Dartmouth this week. Levine's observation belies a larger numerical trend at the College: In recent years, fewer Dartmouth students have been awarded Marshall, Mitchell or Rhodes scholarships than students at many of the College's peer institutions. The 84 students from institutions across the United States who will receive the three scholarships will be announced in late November. Dartmouth currently has one finalist for the Marshall Scholarship, which funds students to study for at least two years at any university in the United Kingdom, and two finalists for the Mitchell Scholarship, which gives students a grant to study for one year in Ireland, according to assistant dean for scholarship advising Kristin O'Rourke.
