Lhamo brings Tibet to Rollins

By Holly Shaffer | February 3, 2003

On Thursday evening, Rollins Chapel was lit by candles and the voice of Yungchen Lhamo.

By Kaitlin Bell | January 31, 2003

Even as Dartmouth has announced increasingly detailed plans to scale back its financial expenditures in a host of areas, College President James Wright has continually affirmed that the College's academic integrity and commitment to fostering a diversity of views and experiences -- core Dartmouth values he has emphasized over the course of his presidency -- will remain unchanged. And looking out at the Green from his office in Parkhurst Hall, with its polished wood conference table and studded green leather chairs, there is a sense that the long gaze of Dartmouth's President goes beyond the small details of the present to a more overarching vision for Dartmouth's future, and that the current budget woes, though serious, are just blips on the radar screen.

Corgan's new band Zwan channels Pumpkins' sound

By David N. Archwamety | January 30, 2003

One may wonder why Billy Corgan's latest album isn't billed as a Smashing Pumpkins album. After all, any Pumpkins fan and probably any alternative fan in general will be able to recognize those trademark, playfully whiny vocals. More finely tuned ears will be able to recognize Jimmy Chamberlin on percussion.
