February 3, 2016

Both the men and the women took advantage of an atmosphere conducive to fast racing to notch some new personal and season bests. The women traveled down to Boston to compete last Friday, Jan. 29, while the men competed separately on Saturday, Jan. 30.

Riding the Pine: With Joe Clyne '16 and Henry Arndt '16

By Henry Arndt and Joe Clyne | February 3, 2016

The boys at Riding the Pine have already started their countdown to 2017. The parties are over. The confetti has been swept up off the street. A third Thai restaurant has opened in Hanover, giving the home of the College on the Hill the highest Thai restaurant to person ratio outside of Bangkok. You can lie on your back, fall asleep and snore so loudly you shake the walls in “Meditation and Relaxation” once a year and get a free pass. Now that Henry’s fallen asleep a second time in as many classes, he’ll have to start searching for more creative ways to get his P.E. credit.

Shoot for It: With Alex Lee '16 and John Beneville '16

By John Beneville and Alex Lee | February 2, 2016

The “Hack-a-Shaq” has become a widely employed strategy in basketball. It involves identifying a member of the opposing team with a weak free throw percentage and purposefully fouling that player to send them to the free throw line. The ultimate hope is that the fouled player will miss the free throw and possession will go to the team that originally committed the foul.

By Sam Stockton | January 28, 2016

The men’s hockey team will host Quinnipiac and Princeton Universities this weekend as it looks to extend its five-game winning streak.

Riding the Pine: With Joe Clyne '16 and Henry Arndt '16

By Henry Arndt and Joe Clyne | January 27, 2016

Four weeks into our penultimate term, there should be nothing that this campus has to offer us anymore. We’re seniors. It’s winter. We’ve done all there is to do and seen all there is to see. We’ve hiked the Fifty three times and crossed the Dartmouth X once. (Note to freshmen males: the grass is not always greener on the other side.)
