We should seek connection, even in the face of potential rejection.

Fresh out of Hanover, Talene Monahon ’13 was recently cast in the “The Chocolate Show!”, an off-Broadway musical that will open on Friday. At Dartmouth, Monahon played a starring role in the College’s production of “Angels in America” in fall 2012 and produced and acted in an original solo show titled “All in Good Fun” last spring. She also acted at the New London Barn Playhouse and the Northern Stage in White River Junction.
Lanphord Cao ’16 has played music for as long as he can remember. Growing up in China, he took up classical piano at age 7. Yet, as he began listening to more rock, pop and hip-hop artists at the age of 15, he switched to writing and playing modern music, he said.
Note to readers (May 23, 2014): When The Dartmouth found thatJake Bayer '16 had fabricated a quotation, wedecided to remove his articles from our website.\n For a full statement, clickhere.
When live competition ends before 11s, following the Sochi Olympics is easier said than done. The nine-hour time difference between the games and Hanover means that there is little live action for students to watch. U.S. news networks knew this was going to be a problem for stateside viewers, and NBC Sports, in response, is broadcasting Olympic coverage nearly all day. However, for Dartmouth students using DarTV, this option is not available because DarTV does not have access to the network.
This year saw a total of 19,235 applicants for the Class of 2018, compared to last year’s 22,416 applicants.
The meeting, organized by the Office of Alumni Relations and the Club Officers Association, promoted communication among alumni groups, assisted young alumni leaders with group management and provided updates on campus happenings.
Located on the third floor of Robinson Hall, where Dartmouth’s Sexual Abuse Awareness Program is currently housed, the center will facilitate preexisting programs such as Sexual Assault Peer Advisors, Mentors Against Violence and the Dartmouth Bystander Initiative.
The chapter produces an online publication about gourmet food and food-related happenings on campus. They will also host events focused on education and appreciation of gourmet foods, aiming to create a food-centric community on campus, chapter co-president Victoria Li ’16 said.
On Feb. 3, Brooklyn artist Tony Matelli’s lifelike sculpture “Sleepwalker” was installed outside of Wellesley College’s campus museum to promote the artist’s show, “New Gravity,” which will run through July. The sculpture features a middle-aged man in tight white underwear briefs, with eyes closed and arms outstretched like he is sleepwalking. After its installation, students circulated a petition demanding the sculpture’s removal.
Last Saturday, Dartmouth lost one of its own, as Nordic skier Torin Tucker ’15 collapsed and died while competing in the Craftsbury Marathon in Craftsbury, Vt. Tucker is remembered by his friends, teammates and classmates for his humility, adventurous spirit and constant smile. Below are a few thoughts from some of those who knew him best.
Fresh snow and blue skies welcomed Dartmouth’s only home carnival of the season last weekend. The Big Green came in second with 853 points to the University of Vermont, which stood ahead of the pack of 16 schools and scored 1,018 points across the eight alpine and Nordic events.
Loyal, faithful readers, at the beginning of this term, we promised you victory at all costs. We promised to try harder, to work out more, to eat better and to live for our sports. Well, we all make stupid promises at the beginning of term, and as many of you know from the miniscule amount of work you did this weekend, sometimes those promises are hard to keep. We regret nothing. We had a great Carnival. No apologies.
This week, I sat down with Nicholas Harrington ’17 of the men’s squash team to talk about adjusting to collegiate squash and rise to the top two positions on the team in his freshman year.
The women’s basketball team had a tough weekend on the road with two losses at Yale University and Brown University.
Harvard University stifled the men’s hockey team 3-0 in a physical battle highlighted by a technical malfunction. The Big Green (4-16-3, 3-12-1 ECAC) was haunted by an 0-5 night with the man advantage.
The men’s basketball team suffered back-to-back home losses over Winter Carnival weekend, falling 67-54 to Yale University on Friday night and 75-62 to Brown University on Saturday. The Big Green is now 9-11 overall and 2-4 in the Ivy League. After an impressive weekend sweep of the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University, the weekend was a disappointment for the Big Green, which failed to overcome early setbacks and injuries in both contests.
In a game that was far closer than the score indicated, the women’s hockey team fell to No. 5 Harvard University 4-1 at Thompson Arena on Friday. The Dartmouth women (7-16-1, 6-11-1 ECAC) were doomed by an 0-5 night on the power play and an inability to beat Harvard sophomore Emerance Maschmeyer despite outshooting the Crimson (18-3-3, 14-2-2 ECAC) for the second time this season.
The men’s and women’s track and field teams broke two more school records this weekend at Boston University’s Valentine Invitational. For the first time this year, a sprinter set a new Dartmouth record as Kaitlin Whitehorn ’16 broke the Dartmouth record in the 60-meter dash with her time of 7.60 seconds, ahead of the 7.64 record set last season by Mollie Gribbin ’16, who transferred to the University of Nebraska this year. Will Geoghegan ’14 put his name on the record boards for the third time this season, this time in the 3,000-meter run. His time of 7:51.57 broke the 29-year-old record of 7:54.60 set by Jim Sapienza ’85. His time earned him second in the event, falling to Harvard University senior Maksim Korolev by .05 seconds.
The recent snowstorm, coupled with the sunny weather and popularity of the “Carnival of Thrones” theme and sculpture, led to higher student turnout at the Winter Carnival events and a record number of entries in the human dog sled race this past weekend.
