Alum authors landmark MRI study

By Brook Jackling | April 13, 2007

The doctors' research proved that MRI scans detected tumors missed by mammograms in three percent of the 969 female research subjects who were diagnosed with cancer in the other breast.

The Conservative Party School

"Our first event qualifies for course credit at Dartmouth College: trick pouring," Duffman announced at the Duff Beer bartending competition on "The Simpsons." Perpetuating the College's stereotype for being soaked in hops and malt, this reference offers another reminder of Dartmouth's reputation among Ivy rivals. From the legacy of "Animal House," the 1978 cult classic that Dartmouth's frat house shenanigans inspired, to the national attention afforded The Dartmouth Review in the 1980s, relics of the Big Green's past endure as myths that paint a skewed picture of the College today.

I have never been much for lyrics. There are plenty of bands that I love. I may know only about five lyrics from their entire discographies but continue to recommend them to friends.

Alex Got in Trouble: Mash it up

I am in the Dayton, Ohio airport waiting to fly back to Biloxi. My first eleven weeks on the Gulf Coast were like Natalie Portman's character in Garden State: challenging, strangely beautiful and likely to change my life. At the end of the movie, Zach Braff experiences a Natalie montage set to silly hipster music.

The Friday Quickie: Dissective Behavior

By Abi Medvin | April 13, 2007

Faculty deserve praise for India FSP

By Nora Yasumura | April 12, 2007

To the Editor: Several recent articles and editorials ("Departments unveil interdisciplinary FSP in India," April 4; "India FSP and Student Demand," April 6) have inaccurately implied that the Foreign Study Program India initiative has been primarily driven by students or only addressed by the senior administration when students became more formally involved. It is true that many students are interested in such a program and that some members of the Pan Asian Council have conducted research in support of the South Asia FSP, but the majority of the initiative and hard work has come from faculty who believe that expanding into India would strengthen the Dartmouth curriculum. I feel it is very important to properly recognize and appreciate the many Dartmouth faculty who have worked over several years to develop this important academic initiative that will benefit our entire campus and college community.
