Despite warm weather, most activities will continue

Students wary of the winter chill will be hard-pressed to find a reason not to go outside this Winter Carnival, thanks to this year's efforts by Dartmouth Outing Club to highlight outdoor activities. "[Winter Carnival] is a celebration of the outdoors," Brian Dye, assistant director of Collis Center and student activities, said. The Dartmouth Outing Club will play a large role in this year's festivities, particularly because the 2009 Carnival theme, "Summiting a Century: 100 years of the DOC," honors the organization's centennial. The unseasonable weather has put a dent in some plans, however. One new activity planned this year had been the inclusion of an ice luge set up behind the Bema, according to Ellen Ludlow '10, who is helping to organize the luge.

"Skeeing on the brain": The DOC celebrates its centennial

Gregg withdraws as Commerce nominee

Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H, withdrew his name from consideration as President Barack Obama's Commerce Secretary nominee on Thursday, according to a statement released by Gregg's office. The Senator cited what he called "irresolvable differences" with the Obama administration. "It has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the census there are irresolvable conflicts for me," Gregg said in the statement. Gregg, who was elected to the House of Representatives in 1981, served as governor of New Hampshire from 1989 to 1993, and was then elected to the Senate.
