By Lindsay Brewer | February 11, 2010

Colosseum sculpture completed on schedule

By Tatiana Cooke | February 11, 2010

While participation of the student body as a whole was low, several student sculpture construction crew members worked tirelessly for multiple hours a day in order to complete the construction of this year's sculpture a model of the Roman Colosseum before Winter Carnival. Following the collapse of last year's scale model of the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge due to warm weather, this year's sculpture crew took extra precautions when designing and constructing the sculpture, according to crew members. Last year's sculpture design was "too ambitious" and had several mistakes, sculpture crew member Richie Clark '11 said. This winter's sculpture was scaled down significantly in order to meet realistic time constraints, Clark previously told The Dartmouth.

Popping the Bubble

By Kate Farley | February 11, 2010

My parents usually visit campus over President's Day Weekend, which I have perennially marked on my calendar as the Bountiful Weekend of Canoe Club And Zin's Meals (sorry DDS, it's not me, it's you). Unfortunately due to the divine forces that conspire to make my life awkward, this year that weekend coincides with this quarter's official "Five Day Period of Debauchery." SCHEDULING CONFLICT. FACT: there is not actually a good way to call your parents and tell them that you have to reschedule dinner because there is a substantial chance that you may be intoxicated at that hour.

The Drunkest Girls at the Party

By Matt Scott and Emily Duke | February 4, 2010

As we sat innocently at 6:30 p.m. on Friday eating our pesto pasta special from FoCo (RAGE, we know), we didn't expect anyone to take offense that we were being the drunkest girls in the place (although we were, in fact, sober). "PING...PING," both of our crackberries (yeah, so obnoxious) simultaneously begin to seize on the table.

By Noah Dentzel | February 4, 2010

Oscar Wilde once quipped that, "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about." What these words may lack in poetry they certainly make up for in pithiness.
