By Cameron Nutt | May 19, 2008

Jennifer Argote / The Dartmouth Senior Staff The athletes on Dartmouth's men's and women's track and field teams had a different Green Key experience this weekend, as the teams competed in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference and Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America championship meets in Princeton, N.J. The men finished in eighth place out of 49 teams, while the women's squad came in 33rd place out of 47 teams after Saturday's competition. The ECAC/IC4A championships are scored meets, and only the top eight finishers in each event score points toward their respective school's team score.

A ban on sex to save the world: 'The Boycott' revamps a classic

By Rebecca Wall | May 19, 2008

Courtesy of Theboycottplay.com / The Dartmouth Staff "Y'all know the one thing grabs folks' attention better than gettin' some is not gettin' any!" proclaims the web site for Kathryn Blume's one-woman play, "The Boycott." "So come on everyone, let's cross our legs and save that world!" It may seem like a familiar premise: A concerned citizen decides to mobilize the masses against a contemporary menace by launching a national sex strike.

The Glove: Senior Spring 'PE' Madness

By David Glovsky | May 16, 2008

After Fall term this year, I realized I needed two physical education credits to graduate. I passed skiing in the winter, and with just one more PE necessary to graduate, I did the most rational thing possible -- I signed up for three: a cabin weekend, tennis and a grant canoeing weekend. All I need to do is make it to one tennis class next week and I pass, so the other two PEs are pretty much meaningless. But the fear of not graduating because of a lack of PE credit was so paralyzing that I needed to make sure I passed by any means necessary.

The Rudder and The Rock

By Nathan Bruschi | May 16, 2008

David Shipler's letter to the editor demonstrates a lot of what is wrong with the expansion plan for the Board of Trustees ("The Conservative Campaign," May 5). He postulates that the motive behind the AoA lawsuit -- designed to maintain parity between elected and appointed members on the Board -- is "to allow inroads by a highly publicized and pervasively ideological brand of conservatism." This encapsulates the perverse logic of those in opposition to the lawsuit -- the assumption that we only support democracy insomuch as we agree with those who get elected. I confess that I once supported the anti-lawsuit position.

Verbum Ultimum: A Fresh Start for SAAP

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | May 16, 2008

This summer, Sexual Abuse Awareness Program interim coordinator Rebel Roberts will be replaced by Michelle de Sousa ("DeSousa named new coordinator of SAAP," May 15). The new hire provides a convenient time to reassess SAAP's tone in order to ensure it is effectively supporting the Dartmouth community. Like most other college campuses, Dartmouth is home to a risky combination of young people, alcohol and a hook-up culture that makes sexual assault a very real problem.

Baseball field renovations begin

By Paul Glenn | May 15, 2008

The renovation, which has been in the works for several years, will convert the field from dirt and grass to a FieldTurf synthetic surface.

Pound for Pound

By Spenser Mestel | May 15, 2008

Dartmouth College rarely encourages me to make decisions based on my happiness. Watching reruns of "American Gladiators" may produce more serotonin than my x-hour, but I am yet to successfully use that as an excuse for missing class.
