Lopez '08 creates 'confession booth'

|

/ The Dartmouth Staff To complete a project for her Figure Sculpture class, Jennifer Lopez '08 had lofty aspirations: She hoped to create an experience that would inspire dialogue on campus and provide students with an outlet to anonymously express their innermost thoughts and feelings. To execute this idea, Lopez designed and created an oversized rectangular booth that stood in the Hopkins Center for the Arts last week. According to her plan, students would enter the booth one at a time and write down "confessions" on a piece of paper, and she would then type these confessions and use them to cover the booth. The number of confessions exceeded the expected amount, prompting Lopez to keep the booth open for more two days than she had originally intended.

Courtesy of Ben Bostick The Dartmouth figure skating team, the defending National Champion, started its competitive season off on the right skate at Boston University this weekend, besting 16 teams to emerge victorious after 17 hours of competition. The competition was the first of two contests that will determine which three Eastern teams will qualify for the Figure Skating National Championships, which will take place in Ann Arbor, Mich., in early April.

Personality Contest

|

Personality Contest To the Editor: In their Verbum Ultimum("Admitting Character," Opinion, Feb.1) The Dartmouth Dditorial Board explains that "Dartmouth has consistently fielded a class of freshmen to uphold this legacy by relying on the personality-centered aspects of our application, valuing essays and recommendations -- especially the recommendation Dartmouth requires from applicants' peers -- above other, more objective instruments like SAT scores and grade point averages." If, in fact, The Dartmouth staff can divine what qualifications the Admissions Office prizes most highly in applicants to the College, there's something rotten in Hanover. Suggesting that the subjective evaluation of candidates unknown to the Admissions Office is superior to objective measures is just plain wrong. Relying on peer essays that the Admissions Office cannot determine who wrote is folly.
