The recent announcement regarding the 2008 leadership of the Dartmouth Outing Club Freshmen Trips begs another question in the examination of Dartmouth culture: Which came first, the campus icon or the H-Croo chief? Peter Gadomski '08, the 2008 trips director, announced the chiefs of each of the five Croos, the Trip leader trainers and the directors of the Trips program in a mass e-mail on Sunday night.

Zach Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Web designers at Baker-Berry Library have been working since July 2006 to bring about the creation of a new online program for Darmouth's library system. The "beta" version of the library system uses more refined searching which allows students to limit their searches to the reserves, Jones Media Library, journals and other specific locations. "One of the things we were trying to do when we designed the site was to keep everything simple and accessible," Mary LaMarca, library communications and web manager, said. The new site should be fully functional by spring term, and that she and the team welcome any feedback about it, associate librarian Cynthia Pawlek said. While users can now access the new site, both LaMarca and Pawlek cautioned students that, since the site is still under construction, they may encounter dead links or other problems. "We want to be sure that people know that we're still in the process of creating it," LaMarca said.

Marina Agapakis / The Dartmouth This year's Winter Carnival weekend featured a mix of classic Carnival traditions and more recently established recreational activities, scenery that literally looked like it was "20,000 Leagues Under the Snow" and a relative drop in criminal incidents, according to Hanover Police Chief Nicholas Giaccone. Giaccone noted that three arrests for unlawful possession were made during the weekend, which, according to Giaccone, is "less than usual for a big weekend." Although few of the annual Winter Carnival fraternity parties saw any incidents, Giaccone told The Dartmouth that an altercation occurred at Psi Upsilon fraternity involving two individuals, at 5 a.m.
Three students involved in the Hanover High cheating scandal were charged last week with being accomplices to theft and are scheduled to stand trial Tuesday in the Lebanon District Court.
The celebratory mayhem of Winter Carnival requires so many different outfits: bundling up for the unveiling of the snow sculpture, crazy flare for dance parties (or any other event for that matter) and looking good for frat-hopping. With so much going on this weekend, I don't even know where to begin in order to give adequate fashion advice.

In preparation for a weekend often associated with heavy drinking and wild parties, Dartmouth community safety and enforcement bodies, wary of the dangerous mix of frigid temperatures and alcohol, plan to take special measures to ensure student safety. College Proctor and Director of Safety and Security Harry Kinne said that Safety and Security would be "beefing up" its on-call staff for the weekend. "We are planning to have extra patrols on during the day and evening hours," he said.
While many students spend the midterm-filled days before Winter Carnival trapped in Baker-Berry Library, Jeff Wiltsey '09 and Benjy Meigs '10 have passed much of the last week on the Green, sacrificing sleep, warmth and the occasional cellular phone in pursuit of this year's Winter Carnival snow sculpture. By the time festivities begin this weekend, Weigs and Miltsey hope that the hours they've spent on a construction site littered with empty boxes from EBA's and discarded hot chocolate cups will see the transformation of a large, wooden, two-story box filled with 250 cubic yards of snow into a submarine being pulled asunder by a belligerent squid. This year marks the first that Wiltsey and Meigs assumed chairmanship over the Winter Carnival sculpture, taking over responsibilities from Dan Schneider '07, who had worked on the project for the last four years. Although Schneider has overseen the pair's work throughout the process, the co-chairs took on all of the main responsibilities of building. "Dan wanted to make sure we knew everything about how this sculpture comes about," Wiltsey said, noting the increased level of commitment which leading the project requires. Although Wiltsey and Meigs said last week that they were pleased with the construction, the sculpture's progess had been significantly delayed by the middle of this week.
