Going Green at the Big Green: Dartmouth's Energy Campaign

By Sarah Frostenson | April 17, 2009

Aryeh Drager / The Dartmouth Staff "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" is a slogan as familiar to Dartmouth students as, "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish." Emblazoned everywhere, from the paper cups in the dining facilities -- which, ironically enough, are not recyclable, though they are compostable -- to the posters hanging above the recycling bins in dormitories, Dartmouth is intent on promoting an environmentally friendly message. But are we, as in you and me, actually willing to listen?

Overheards

By The Dartmouth | April 17, 2009

'11 Sigma Delt: i haven't shaved my legs in so long that when the wind blows i can feel it in my hairs. Guy 1: This was the one thing I did sophomore summer that I actually felt good about: got a subscription to The Economist Guy 2: Now you know everything ... or at least look like you do. '09 Girl I: I wish gorf was a verb, "to gorf." '09 Girl 2: I'm naming my firstborn Gorf. '11 Alpha Phi: I really just want someone I can blitz/call up and be like let's meet up -- and we can go have good sex -- without me having to go out and play pong and drink first.

By Kate Farley | April 17, 2009

As the stock market is woefully unhip and insists on clinging to last year's trend of spiraling downward (so 2008, seriously), the College's financial expenditures continue to face intense scrutiny.

POINT: Recycling

By Christine Paquin | April 17, 2009

I'm a good little faux new age hippie. Although I don't own Birkenstocks or Doc Marten's, I'm from Vermont, my family composts, I eat organic, I like the Grateful Dead and I think that new vegetable garden at the White House is rockin'. I always use canvas bags on my Co-op runs, I don't litter, I own a BPA-free Nalgene and I think every high school kid should watch "An Inconvenient Truth" in science class.

The DM Manual of Style

By Dylan Leavitt | April 17, 2009

The tag read "Organic Cotton" in a scribled font, and had a little drawing of a leaf. Standing in Forever 21 browsing cheap T-shirts, I had to laugh at this attempt to be "green" at a store where $10 shoes reek of plastic (take my word for it; this smell never wears off) and lam is more ubiquitous than at American Apparel.

I'm Having Some Issues...

By Erin Lansky | April 10, 2009

Dear Erin, I'm, like, really freaking out about my first Spring term here at Dartmouth. Like, don't get me wrong, I'm super-pumped for fro-yo and Keystone again, but I'm feeling lost without my earflap hat and furry parka!

THIS, Sir, Is My Case!

By Rembert Browne | April 10, 2009

Let me preface this article by clearly stating that I know absolutely nothing about style. Yes, I pick up a copy of Esquire, GQ and Highlights before every flight, but don't let that fool you.

Breaking Through: Securing the Seven this spring

By Sandra Himen | April 10, 2009
