Mallory Paine '05 describes himself as "an instant gratification knitter." He sticks to the small things -- hats ("I can make a hat in three hours"), gloves, mittens and socks -- never sweaters. Knitting is not the only thing Paine does in his spare time.

Grant hopes for term-long fellows

|

Although none of this year's five Montgomery Fellows elected to remain on campus for more than a few days, the Montgomery Endowment continues to search for fellows that will stay in residence for an entire term. Renowned anthropologist Richard Leakey, the most recent fellow, arrived on campus earlier this month, but only stayed for three days. Other recent visitors, among them cellist Yo-Yo Ma, Polish politician and activist Lech Walesa and playwright Tom Mac Intyre, all remained on campus for a week or less. Despite this year's lack of term-long visitors, Director of the Montgomery Endowment Barbara Gerstner said she remains committed to hosting fellows for extended periods of time. "The Endowment was created for most fellows to stay varying lengths of time," Gerstner said.

SA offers cabin for students' social use

Tom Dent Cabin, which for over 30 years has been owned and operated by the Athletic Department, will soon become the College's first fully student-run social space. The cabin, which is situated between Tuck Drive and the Connecticut River, near Ledyard Canoe Club, was this past summer transferred to the control of Dartmouth's Student Assembly for use as a free student social space, according to Student Body President Molly Stutzman '02. "We thought this was a wonderful opportunity to open this new space up for students," Stutzman said.

S&S prepares for busy weekend

|

With hundreds of alumni and thousands of students looking to take a weekend off from work to party, Homecoming is usually the busiest weekend of the fall for the Department of Safety and Security, and this year is no different. Almost the entire Safety and Security staff will be working this weekend, according to College Proctor and head of the Department of Safety and Security, Robert McEwen. One of the main features of Homecoming weekend is the bonfire tonight. "For this event we increase foot patrols," McEwen said, "most of our staff will be working Friday night." He added that Safety and Security would probably maintain steady coverage on the Green until 2 a.m. Residence hall undergraduate advisors (UGAs) also play a large role in safety this weekend, as they have the most direct interaction with students.

Dartmouth struggles to find an official mascot

|

Just like last Homecoming, the football stadium will be lacking one of its "biggest" fans -- the moose. The moose hasn't really been a part of Dartmouth games, football or otherwise, since the Fall of 2000. The original appearance of the moose was the result of the efforts of a small group of student athletes who felt that the College needed a mascot at sporting events, in 1996. The group recruited the Student Assembly president and conducted a web survey, which concluded with the moose as the clear winner.
