A User's Guide: Campus Shortcuts for the lazy and time pressed

By Eve Ahearn | August 20, 2009

Dartmouth's campus is so small that every step out of the way is a mile, and that mile is doubled when you're drunk, impatient to get somewhere, cold, or all three.

With three-fourths of the campus away this term, the potential for hook-ups has been mighty slim.

By Sydney Ribot | August 20, 2009

There comes a time in every American college student's life when she must confront the fact that her best friend did not arise from a vacuum - that her friend did, in fact have a life, home and family before college.

Spreading Ourselves Too Thin: What Dartmouth Students Sacrifice to Excel

August 6, 2009

I interviewed upwards of 29 people (which the professors of Gov 10, Math 9, Public Policy 11 and Psychology 11 would all tell me is not a particularly impressive sample size) for this article and have come to quite the statistically significant conclusion that nearly all of those interviewed (28 out of 29, to be precise) use an Excel spreadsheet to plan their class schedule and major, plot their D-Plan and often calculate their maximum possible GPA.

A USER'S GUIDE: Tech tips for the over-scheduled and organizationally challenged

By Eve Ahearn | August 6, 2009

Considering that I asked for an extension for this article and that my experience with technology involves watching a fan slowly dry out an entire cup's worth of coffee spilled into a rental computer (who knows what was wrong with my regular one), I am probably not the most organized or the most tech savvy student on campus.

Sound Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

By Divya Gunasekaran | July 23, 2009

There have been times in our society's history when progress starts unraveling. Bush's reelection in 2004, the production of sexually objectified Bratz dolls and any reality television series currently airing or even being imagined stand out as prominent examples of moments when America saw growth and the potential for change in the horizon and then turned around and ran in the opposite direction. Unfortunately, plateaus in the evolution of music often occur as well.

Lingo Love: Forming a Community

By Rebecca Cress | July 23, 2009

Conventional wisdom holds that Hanover is really, really small and in the middle of nowhere. Granted, when your Classics 4 notes are heaped next to those forms you've been meaning to turn in for that club you're running and you're stuck in the stacks anyway, then the Appalachian Trail is no better nor worse a place than anywhere else to be.
