Library unveils renovated website

|

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.

Three arrests made over Carnival

|

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.

The DM Manual of Style

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.
