The campus is different. I can't quite put my finger on it. Actually, yes I can. Sophomore summer is no longer; the air is colder, leaves are falling and the Class of 2008 is gallivanting around the globe.

New website to better reflect needs of College

By Zach Swiss | September 21, 2006

After nearly eight months of construction, Dartmouth launched its new homepage in August. The website, which features a photo display that changes every time the page is reloaded, was designed to make it more accessible to prospective and current students, parents, faculty and alumni. "What we ended up doing was looking for the commonalities in all of these different audience groups and then we built a design to accommodate all of them," said Sarah Horton, one of the site's creators. The new site was created by group of staff members known as "The HomeTeam" -- Horton from curricular computing and Rick Adams and Martin Grant from public affairs. "Overwhelmingly, the comments have been good and we've implemented a number of the suggestions that we've gotten," Adams said. Adams and Grant continue to make improvements to the site based on suggestions they receive from users.

Samantha Ceppos / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Fresh off an encouraging victory over Pac-10 power Stanford and just a few days away from kicking off its Ivy season, the Dartmouth men's soccer team hopes to improve upon a 2-2-2 start, one that has not quite lived up to the lofty expectations the team holds. "We feel confident about our record so far but not satisfied," goalkeeper Rowan Anders '07 said.

Amped campaign draws varied Alumni voices

By Katy O'Donnell | September 21, 2006

As the debate heats up and voting, which opened last Friday, continues on the Association of Alumni's proposed constitutional changes, many alumni have been barraged by a stream of letters, e-mails and phone calls supporting or opposing the new constitution. The Dartmouth Alumni Magazine recently ran a paid advertisement that extolled the new constitution's "better representation for classes, clubs, and affiliated groups -- and you," among other proposed benefits. Thirteen trustees urged alumni to vote for the legislation in a full-page advertisement in Wednesday's edition of The Dartmouth.

Evolving Vox makes move in easier

By Julia Hecht | September 21, 2006

Lauren Wool / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Students who wish to avoid the hassle of buying, moving and storing their belongings when they move in and out of dorms can now turn to Evolving Vox LLC, a temporary ownership business started by Jack Groetzinger '07 and Russell D'Souza '07 that rents furniture and electronics. D'Souza and Groetzinger developed the business after they realized the impracticality of investing in quality furniture that would only be used for their senior year. "Fundamentally, we think the market for furniture and electronics at Dartmouth is inefficient -- at the end of the school year, students are often unable to find anyone willing to buy their used furniture for a decent price," Groetzinger said. Students can furnish their dorm rooms by selecting items such as futons, lamps, telephones, televisions and refrigerators on the company's website. Evolving Vox will then deliver all items at the beginning of the term and pick them up at the end of the term when students move out. Those renting from Vox list the condition of the rentals and the low cost as their primary reasons for renting. "Their prices were great," Azi Tzfadya '07 said.
