Davis runs for ASL research funds

When restaurant manager Ben Davis lost a co-worker and a fellow triathlon runner to Lou Gehrig's Disease, he channeled his grief into a 2,175-mile run of the Appalachian Trail, spanning 60 days, to raise awareness of the disease and money for research. Davis passed through Hanover last Thursday, and met with Dartmouth students who planned to join him on a part of his run. Emily Koepsell '09, Peter Shellito '09, Cody Doolan '10 and biology graduate student Tom Morrison, all members of the Dartmouth Endurance Racing Team, attempted to run with Davis for the few miles of the Appalachian Trail that pass through Hanover, but missed Davis on the trail. "I thought it would be a great team event and since I'm a leukemia survivor I understand where he is coming from," Koepsell, the club's president, said. The team wanted the opportunity to explore Dartmouth's connection with the Appalachian Trail and meet a fellow endurance runner, members of the group said. "All the through-hikers I've met are really eccentric," Shellito said, referring to hikers on the Appalachian Trail.

'Rock Band 2' fine-tunes gameplay, spotlights new genres

Anyone familiar with the many installments of the popular Guitar Hero series understands the problems that plague music-beat video games that establish a critically acclaimed franchise and a wide, devoted fan base. Players (and not just the obsessive, beer-bellied ones with muttonchops who live and breathe for Megadeth) typically want more features than those the developers have given them.

Recycling To Riches

Expecting the frats to suddenly start recycling is like my fantasy of running table during Homecoming weekend while beautiful and wealthy female alumnae chant my name and throw their Hanover Inn room keys at me -- both scenarios are possible but highly improbable. I don't write this to single out or criticize the Greek system, something that has unfairly been done thousands of times and to no avail.
