Having a Safe Winter Carnival

By Tara Burns | February 10, 2005

To the Editor: It seems that every time I read the police blotter, a student from a college other than Dartmouth is getting picked up for an alcohol violation.

Famed O'Farrill to guest in Barbary Coast performance

By Brent Reidy | February 10, 2005

This Saturday the Barbary Coast Jazz Ensemble will perform in Spaulding Auditorium at 8 p.m. with guest artist Arturo O'Farrill, a forerunner of Latin piano and the bandleader of the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra at the Lincoln Center. Rather than pretend to write this article from a neutral perspective, I will be honest: I am the pianist of the Barbary Coast and over the last few weeks I've had the opportunity to play the charts to be performed this Saturday.

Heat wave forces skiers across border

By Ben Zimmerman | February 10, 2005

While Hanover may presently find itself in the midst of this season's first true blizzard, the late burst of precipitation comes too late to save cross-country skiing. Though alpine events will remain at the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme Center, N.H., a lack of snow combined with relatively warm temperatures has driven the cross-country portion of the Carnival to the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe,Vt. The action at Stowe -- which doubles as UVM's home course -- kicks off on Friday with the men's 10-kilometer classical race at 10 a.m., followed by the women's five-kilometer classical an hour and a half later.

Serial BB-gun shooter pelts one near Butterfield

By Phil Salinger | February 10, 2005

The Hanover Police are investigating several related BB-gun shootings -- allegedly perpetrated by a College freshman -- that occurred outside Butterfield Hall in the past week, Chief Nicholas Giaccone said. Pellets from the serial sniper's gun left at least one student wounded early Monday morning behind the dormitory. Michele Nudelman '05 said she was near the blue light safety telephone outside of Butterfield on her way home from Epsilon Kappa Theta sorority when a lead pellet struck the back of her left leg. The shots appeared to have been fired from the roof of a building nearby and were apparently not isolated to Monday morning -- Brennan Mallonee '04 told The Dartmouth she believed that the sniper's fire narrowly missed her on Friday afternoon. Although two sniper suspects have been identified as Dartmouth students, their names have not yet been released.

If you answered yes to these questions, then boy, have I got a class for you! I'm proposing a new class to explore one of the greatest mysteries of the modern day.

Gov't seminars to require application

By Gus Lûbin | February 9, 2005

Amid growing complaints among students about the difficulties they face getting into popular government classes, the department has announced a new selection process through which it will solicit applications and choose whom to accept for its seminars. Students still have to apply for government seminars through the registrar's office, but starting next quarter, the registrar will pass all the names onto the government department, which will make all course selection decisions. At this point, students will fill out an online seminar application set to include questions about seminar choice, year, major and reasons for taking the course.

Every week, I eagerly await Thursday night dinners at Homeplate, a.k.a. tuna skewer night. The delicious grilled tuna with teriyaki sauce coupled with a side of seaweed salad is the perfect meal.

Rightly Guided Thieves kick off Carnival at Bones Gate

By Jaime Padgett | February 9, 2005

If you walk into the depths of the Hopkins Center late at night, winding around the dark corridors towards practice room 29, a sweetly unique sound pounds through the closed door. Peering through a tiny window, one can see Billy Accomando '07, Rashid Galadanci '07, Patrick Handler '07 and Ben Selznick '07 jamming and producing tunes that the whole campus has come to recognize. This unique sound is that of Rightly Guided Thieves, the spectacular sophomore band that has enthralled Dartmouth students since last fall.

By Chetan Mehta | February 8, 2005

For Chinese-language film aficionados, the Loew film series at the Hopkins Center has Hong Kong cinema as the theme for this term. For the better part of the last 50 years, East Asian cinema has been synonymous with Japanese films.
