In Case You Were Wondering

By Katie Sinclair | February 20, 2014

In case you were wondering, the Dubia cockroach, or Blaptica dubia, has the ability to move, twitch and stay very much alive even after you put a pin through its head, cut off its legs with scissors and rip out its digestive tract.

Hockey returns home for final time

By Josh Schiefelbein | February 20, 2014

In what will likely be an emotional weekend, the men’s hockey team returns to Hanover for its final two regular season home games, the final home games for the four seniors on the team. Friday night, Dartmouth will take on Brown University before squaring off against defending national champion No. 14 Yale University Saturday. After this weekend, the Big Green (6-16-3, 5-12-1 ECAC) will hit the road for a testing final set of games against No. 13 Cornell University and No. 19 Colgate University. While every ECAC men’s team makes the postseason, the next few games will decide seeding and opponents.

As children, others always made the most important decisions for us.
