Counterpoint: Alternative Spots

I usually feel accomplished if I survive a big weekend with my liver relatively intact (horrified blitz from my mother in three, two, one...), but this Green Key, I discovered a new hazard: GAMMAPALOOZA.

Point: Alternative Spots

Alternative social spaces often get a bad rap as poorly executed attempts by Student Assembly and Programming Board to offer students something -- anything -- other than fratting it up on any given Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday night.

Funding the "Alternative"

In light of all the hype generated by the anticipated arrival of Three 6 Mafia at Alumni Hall this Friday, and the unscrupulous scalping that has resulted due to a shortage of tickets, you may be wondering: "Why wasn't my student activities fee able to guarantee me a seat?" Every term, along with our tuition, room and board, books and miscellaneous expenditures, we ante up $75 in student activities fees.

THIS, Sir, Is My Case!

In this post-Green Key America, I feel as if I literally have nothing positive or worthwhile to bring to society.

Editors' Note

When people talk about alternative social scenes and spaces at Dartmouth, I think fondly of this past weekend.

Overheards

'10 Girl: Yesterday, I booted in the daylight. On the Phi Delt porch. On the dog. '12 Girl: I should have had coffee instead of vodka this morning. '10 Psi U 1: You haven't been hanging out at all, bro. '10 Psi U 2: That's not true, I hung out all the time at the beginning of the term. '10 Psi U 1: Bro, you don't get rollover minutes for hanging out. '12 Girl: He wasn't paying attention to me, so I danced on a table. History Professor, mid-2A: I just threw my lecture in the trash. '10 Kappa to legion of Kappas over lunch: So last night I got paid $100 to punch a guy... Legion of Kappas: (Laughter) '10 Kappa: (through laughter) ...Yeah, it was so much fun I punched him again! '11 Tri-Delt 1: This was the best green key weekend ever! '11 Tri-Delt 2: Says the girl who got punched in the face at AD! '09 KDE: Why would I booty call him when I can still call EBAs? '12 Girl 1: Wow, I haven't been to Chi Gam in so long. '12 Girl 2: Last time I went to Chi Gam I lost my coat. '12 Girl 3: Last time I went to Chi Gam I lost my virginity. '10 Chi Gam: Are you going to the TDX pig roast? '10 AD: No man, I really have no interest in watching Kappas standing around licking their fingers for four hours. '10 AD: Why are you so upset? '10 Girl: I was supposed to get a package in the mail today! '10 AD: I'll give you a package from a male today.

Spotlight:Ruslan Tovbulatov '09

It's easy to see why Ruslan Tovbulatov '09 calls himself "an events planner at heart." As a member of PB and Class Council, former co-chair of Student Assembly's student life committee and Chi Gam's social chair, Ruslan has spent his time at Dartmouth trying to break the mold of typical campus parties.
