Bradley strikes a chord across N.H.

By Lindsay Barnes | November 24, 2003

If the most a songwriter can hope to do with his art is to create something that resonates with the listener, then Chris Bradley '92 is one of the most successful songwriters in New England today. Since it was released as a single, Bradley's personal tribute to the Old Man in the Mountain, "Goodbye Old Man Goodbye," has reached the hearts of people in New Hampshire and beyond. "When I was thinking about writing it, I thought 'Gosh it'd be great to have sort of a song that would buoy people up in a strange way and be a cheerleader for people from New Hampshire,'" Bradley recalled in an interview with The Dartmouth. Once Bradley, put pen to paper, he found inspiration by remembering his own personal reaction to the media coverage of the Old Man in the Mountain's collapse. "Nobody was talking about the symbolism," Bradley said, "people were talking about lost tourism money.

This College has a bad habit of overusing the word "community" to give people warm, fuzzy feelings of group solidarity.

Swim Team: Men top Brown, UVM, Navy

By Steven Orbuch | November 24, 2003

"We have been unable to stay competitive in swimming, and believe that success could not be attained without a significant infusion of new resources." The College released this comment in a press release almost a year ago to the day in order to justify the abrupt cancellation of the Dartmouth Aquatics programs. This past weekend, the Dartmouth men's swimming team showed that it is not only alive and well, but a bold player among its Ivy League peers this season. Perhaps it's poetic justice, but during its only home stand of this season, the men's swimming team entered uncharted positive territory, defeating both Brown and Navy on Saturday. Double-dual meets, like the meet held on Saturday, have been scheduled at Dartmouth since the early 1980s. However, this weekend marked the first time in school history that the Big Green men swept both opponents in an Eastern Intercollegiate Swim League meet. It was also the first time since 1996 that the Dartmouth men can claim two EISL victories in a season. According to swimmer Chris Mudd '06, Brown and Navy underestimated their Dartmouth competition. "Last year, they both beat us pretty badly," Mudd said.

Calvin's Epiphany and Student Assembly

By Noah Riner | November 24, 2003

Accepting Our Label

By Sam Stein | November 21, 2003

Since President Bush and Co. recently announced that they were turning over to Iraqis increased security and governing responsibility , there have been several ominous developments that have deepened my anxiety over this Iraq calamity (for lack of a more objective term). To begin with, amid a wave of anti-American attacks the enigmatic Trent Lott dropped this little sound bite: "Honestly, it's a little tougher than I thought it was going to be [in reference to Iraq]." Then he added, "If we have to, we just mow the whole place down and see what happens." Holy crap!

Conflicting figures add to uncertainty

By Colin Barry and Laura McGann | November 21, 2003

Following a recent flood of sexual assault allegations in the campus press, the Dartmouth community has been flooded with accusations of administrative indifference to sexual assault and unwillingness to discipline those who commit such acts. At the source of the debate lies the widely-differing figures on reported sexual assaults and formal complaints. Sexual abuse counselors received reports of 14 incidents of alleged rape and six of attempted rape over the last academic year, according to the website for Dartmouth's Sexual Abuse Awareness Program.
