The Don't Plan

By Lydia Chammas | April 9, 2008

Spring's arrival doesn't immediately guarantee warm, sunny days here in Hanover, but it does promise the return of a massive number of students who have been off for a term or two, doing everything from trying to save the world to selling out on Wall Street.

If It Ain't Broke ...

By Phil Aubart | April 9, 2008

I have critiqued the College and its administration in the past. The constant theme of my critiques has been a resistance to change.

CANDIDATE STATEMENT: Cooper

By Lee Cooper | April 8, 2008

Dartmouth faces an exciting time in its long history, and I hope you will elect me to help guide the student body through the challenges and opportunities before us. There is the College presidential search, an alumni lawsuit, a new Dean of the College and issues of inequality permeating campus dialogues.

CANDIDATE STATEMENT: Bode

By Molly Bode | April 8, 2008

For almost three years, I have listened to the stories and concerns of our community. Now I'd like to channel my experience and passion into a role of leadership -- to serve as SA President through accessibility, communication and transparency. Accessibility I will hold office hours in Food Court and Collis, attend as many campus events as possible, promote more SA-sponsored programming, advertise SA events and agendas regularly in The Dartmouth and work to increase student participation in Assembly. Accessibility also pertains to posting course syllabi and book lists online and making sure that the course reviews continue to grow in numbers, effectiveness and validity.

Earth's First Black Hole

By Brian Solomon | April 8, 2008

It's the end of the world as we know it. Unlikely? Sure. Improbable? Yes. But according to two researchers in Hawaii who are suing CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in United States federal court, Judgment Day may be right around the corner -- the product of a man-made mini-black hole. Later this year, scientists at CERN's new Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle accelerator, will begin smashing sub-atomic particles together at close to the speed of light in an effort to recreate energies and conditions only seen a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang.

Short Answer: Presidential Search Criteria

By The Opinion Staff | April 7, 2008

What will be the most popular response to last Friday's letter from Board Chairman Ed Haldeman '70 soliciting presidential search criteria from the Dartmouth community? There's not going to be one particular quality of note because Dartmouth students and alumni are too fractured in focus to agree on anything: Some are going to want someone with a strong stance on the alumni lawsuit and others, someone willing to cooperate with Beta, etc.

Realistic Ambitions for SA

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 4, 2008

With Student Assembly elections days away, it is important for both the candidates and student body alike to recognize the relative capacity in which the Assembly can effectively operate and the extent to which it can exact change. As in years past, much of the rhetoric surrounding this year's campaigns focuses on issues that are too large and complicated for the Student Assembly to resolve and goals that are too lofty to accomplish.

Kiss, Kiss, Hello

By Suzanne Lehrer | April 3, 2008

The contrast first became glaringly obvious to me when I was a guest at a friend's family pool party in rural Costa Rica this past winter.

The machinery is slowly coming to a halt, and laborers who have put countless hours into maintaining it are starting to realize that the end is near.

Love to Hate, Hate to Love

By Zachary Gottlieb | March 31, 2008

While eating a Bostonian this Saturday -- which is the best sandwich on this campus by far and you're an idiot if you think otherwise -- I noticed that the television near Pavilion was showing E! As the channel's exclamatory name suggests, I was extremely excited to sample its programming.

Playing Hanoveropoly

By Daniel Belkin | March 31, 2008

Forget Dubai. Hanover is so hot right now. Recently, two leading national rags showcased Hanover in their broadsheets, painting the home of the College as a rustic oasis in the wilds of New Hampshire.
