Dartmouth Career Services celebrated 30 years of service to students Thursday with an anniversary party that showcased the stories of alumni who have followed nontraditional or unexpected career paths after graduation. "All dreams are welcome here," Career Services Director Skip Sturman said as he addressed more than 40 students, professors and alumni who gathered at Collis to toast the organization's three-decade effort to assist undergraduates with their professional endeavors. The recognition of alumni was made possible by the Alumni Stories Project, a Career Services' effort funded by John Kovis '63's Career Discovery Program.

'Consent Day' attracts over 500 for shirts, games, food

By Phil Salinger | August 8, 2006

Students flocked to Webster Avenue on Saturday, Aug. 5 to celebrate the College's fourth annual "Consent Day," a day aimed at encouraging victims of sexual violence to speak out and educating students about what constitutes sexual violence. The day of games, food and music drew over 500 undergraduates, high school debate campers and graduate students to the front lawns of Alpha Xi Delta sorority and Chi Gamma Epsilon, Phi Delta Alpha, Sigma Nu and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternities. There the houses were hosting an array of activities, from a scavenger hunt to "consensual Twister," which differed from the original game in that each color was associated with a phrase related to consensual sex.

'A Scanner Darkly' may mesmerize but still disappoints

By AJ Fox | August 8, 2006

"A Scanner Darkly" is one big train-wreck of a movie, but at least it's a marvel to look at. Initially shot in live action, the film's 100 minutes of footage were subsequently slaved over by a team of animators who painstakingly colored in each frame, turning the movie's washed-out urban landscape into a startlingly realistic cartoon.

Evaluating the AC system situation

By Kenan Yount | August 3, 2006

To the Editor: I think last Thursday's article about the valve breaking in Alumni Gym was one for the classic archives ("Valve causes serious AC failure at gym," July 27). The whole idea that a faulty valve ordered for a brand new fitness center would render the facility useless (or at best suffocating) for the entire student body for pretty much the rest of the summer is just so utterly absurd that it actually doesn't surprise me; rather it highlights the utter incompetence behind some of the things that go on around here.
