By Kevin Khandjian | April 18, 2005

To the Editor: RIAA President Cary Sherman describes the loads of "starving artists," if you will ("RIAA sues undergrads using i2hub," April 14) -- but does he even know who they are?

By Kristen Kelley | April 18, 2005

Environmental advocates at the College recently launched a "Reinventing Earth Week" initiative aimed at instigating heightened awareness of Dartmouth's environmental groups. Highlighting the new eco-vigor this year is the Environmental Conservation Organization's Special Weapons and Tactics, or SWAT, team -- a group of 18 bent on correcting environmental wrongdoings by students and administrators.

Colgate requires Greeks to sell off physical plants

By Rebekah Rombom | April 18, 2005

Administrators at Colgate University recently issued an ultimatum to members of the university's fraternities and sororities, forcing the Greek organizations to decide between selling their physical plants and relinquishing university recognition. According to an initiative set up by the university, fraternities and sororities whose houses are privately owned must sell them to the university, and Greek organizations without houses are required to adopt college-owned housing for their members. The initiative came as a result of a drunk driving accident in 2000 that killed four Colgate students.

Tap-dancing visionary Glover electrifies audience at Lebanon

By John Kim | April 18, 2005

Tap-dancing legend Gregory Hines once said, "There is Savion Glover, and then there are the rest of us." Best known for his Tony-winning work on the 1996 Broadway hit "Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk," Glover has been wowing audiences since he was 12 and is indeed considered by many to be the greatest tap dancer of all-time. On Thursday, April 14, I braved the townies and made the trek to Lebanon, where Glover was bringing his brand of noise and funk to the otherwise sleepy New Hampshire town. I admit I know nothing about tap dancing technique beyond people making cool sounds with their feet.

Richard Roberts ("Free Speech and Inconsistency," April 14) glosses over the facts of the Zeta Psi case to create the false impression that the College sanctioned the fraternity for the content of its ideas.

Cartoonist school opens doors in Vermont

By Gus Lûbin | April 18, 2005

Hidden in the middle of White River Junction, far from New York City, and even further from Gotham or Metropolis, the world of comic books has sprung a remarkable new storyline. The Center for Cartoon Studies, a two-year graduate school of sorts for the study of print cartoons -- the first of its kind -- will open its doors to a class of 20 students in the fall. Co-founders James Sturm and Michelle Ollie are committed to the idea that cartoons involve more than just drawing pictures on paper, a dedication that can be seen on the walls of the old Colodny building in which the school is housed. Though the paint-stained construction site motif may not look like a classroom to the untrained or perhaps unimaginative eye, Strum and Ollie have actually transformed the former department store by painting the walls instead of using wallpaper and sawing boards instead of drawing on them. "The building is done; what are you talking about?" Sturm joked.

Pool renovation hurts water sports

By Nedko Kyuchukov | April 18, 2005

Construction on the Karl Michael Pool was set to begin on April 1, but has since been delayed. It is not yet clear when exactly it will start and when exactly it is going to be finished, but in the meantime, Big Green athletes are growing concerned. During the time of the renovation, all teams will have to use the four-lane Spaulding Pool, and they are not happy. "The smaller pool is definitely going to affect our workouts.

After going toe-to-toe with the Ivy League leading Cornell Big Red for 60 minutes, the No. 11 Dartmouth men's lacrosse team lost a heartbreaker on Saturday 8-7 in front of a packed Scully-Fahey Field crowd.
