The clear, the cream, anything to juice up the nation

By Dave Raines | April 8, 2005

Would you still watch the NBA if the players could jump 15 feet in the air? Of course you would, because let's face it, the only reason we watch the NBA now is because the players jump higher and move faster than people like us ever could. So what's wrong with a substance that allows athletes to recover faster, jump higher, lift more, and hit more home runs.

Student candidates prep for start of campaigning

By Elise Waxenberg | April 8, 2005

Sidewalk chalk, mass BlitzMail messages and fluorescent posters will blanket the campus this weekend, when official campaigning for student elections kicks off on Saturday at midnight. Voting will take place April 19 and 20, but for Student Body Presidential hopefuls, campaign managers have been signed on and maneuvering has been in full swing for months. "They're probably all getting really nervous first of all, mainly about the increasing time commitment that they're going to have to dedicate to prepare their campaigns," current Student Body President Julia Hildreth '05 said. Hildreth said that the candidates are probably strategizing with their teams, deciding how to spend their money and networking with potential supporters. "Forming a good campaign team and talking to people is one of the main strategies at this point because actual public campaigning hasn't started," candidate Ben Waters '06 said. Pre-campaigning has included "just going around, introducing yourself to as many people as possible, being places, being out," Waters said.

By Dan Duray | April 7, 2005

Called a "rising star" by The New York Times, David Anders '91 added yet another success story to his already impressive resume when his prosecution team successfully convicted former WorldCom Chief Executive Officer Bernard Ebbers last month. Anders joined the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force in late 2000, just before the country's recent deluge of corporate scandal, giving Anders the opportunity to work on several high-profile cases, including the prosecution of former Credit Suisse First Boston investment banker Frank Quattrone last year. "I'm really lucky to get these opportunities," Anders said.

COSO recognizes new student groups for funding

By Jennifer Garfinkel | April 7, 2005

The start of Spring term is also a fresh beginning for several new student groups on campus. The College recognized several new organizations at the end of Winter term, and now, with funding from the Council On Student Organization, the club leaders are preparing to increase awareness about everything from malnutrition to grassroots politics to Taiwanese culture. In response to the 2004 presidential election, several students spearheaded the creation of Dartmouth For Democracy, a self-described non-partisan group designed to train students interested in gaining necessary skills to run grassroots campaigns. Dartmouth for Democracy claims it will support any candidate on the national, local, or college level who is "socially progressive and fiscally responsible," said co-founder Sarah Ayres '06. "So that could potentially be Democrats or Republicans.
