Jump In '06X

It's raining out, again. I am sitting in a hot, reeking bar somewhere in Dublin. Smoking, unwashed Europeans are cheering for, of all things, a soccer game.

College amps up patrol at Ledyard

By Phil Salinger | July 13, 2006

As students enjoy lazy summer days in kayaks and canoes floating on the Connecticut River, the nearby Ledyard Canoe Club dock remains empty of the usual swimmers known to frequent the popular area during the summer. Although technically not permitted by College regulation, on any sunny day before this Summer term, it was often crowded with students swimming around the Ledyard dock, sunbathing on it or enjoying the Club facilities. During the interim between Spring and Summer terms, Safety and Security began rigorously enforcing the regulations preventing students from using the Ledyard dock for purposes other than canoeing, kayaking or other sponsored water sports, members of Ledyard said. Ledyard's Senior Summer Director Mike Holliday '07, who has lived at the organization's riverside house during two previous summers, said that Safety and Security officers appear to have made a concerted effort to increase their vigilance at the dock this summer. "Before they would come down occasionally, maybe once a week or so, but it seems like this year they've definitely amped it up a bit," he said, adding that officers tend to come to the dock a few times a day this summer, and even more often on weekends. College Proctor Harry Kinne confirmed that Safety and Security has made a point to keep closer tabs on unauthorized swimmers, saying it was the result of last summer's nighttime drowning of a non-College student in the Tuck Bridge program.

Tubestock: A Casualty in the "War on Fun"

By Christopher Rubinate | July 13, 2006

To the Editor: Yet again Dartmouth College, the Town of Hanover and the State of New Hampshire have triumphed in their War on Fun. From the recent banning of Tubestock to the ban on playing pong outdoors to the repeated removal of the rope swing over the Connecticut River (and eventual cutting down of the tree from which the rope swing hung to forever remove any chance that the dastardly physical diversion would ever return) the Triumvirate in Charge has managed to ban and restrict many of the best ways to enjoy oneself in the beautiful environs which surround Dartmouth in the summer. Perhaps the paternalistic lifeguards of the Upper Valley will next move to ban horseplay or not waiting a half hour after eating before swimming. These "Powers That Be" need to realize that Dartmouth students are adults with the full mental capacity to make choices about their lives and how to live them, not little, confused toddlers who need instructions and to have their hands held all the day by Daddy Dartmouth or Mama Hanover. Do these parties really have nothing better to do than tell Dartmouth students how they can and can't peacefully enjoy themselves? I thought that New Hampshire's motto was still "Live Free or Die"

Pitfalls of Corporate Recruiting

By Evan Meyerson | July 13, 2006

The weather in Hanover is finally brilliant and "06X" is in full swing -- or so we thought. The bliss of summer took a frustrating turn for a significant portion of the Class of 2008 last week as July 5 came to mean much more than just a chance to recuperate after Independence Day festivities. Countless sophomores postponed river plans and pong dates to beat the July 5 corporate recruiting deadline set by the 10 financial leviathans that will grace the College next week for on-campus interviewing.
