As the deadline for spring term course selections draws near, many of us are pouring through the ORC to find classes fulfilling multiple distributive requirements, or to locate that "perfect" third class.
Last Friday morning, I opened my BlitzMail account and engaged in the common Dartmouth ritual of checking Weekend Update.

Until recently, I had imagined the College's physical education program director as a man sitting on a Caribbean beach, ordering tropical drinks and tipping the waiters with fists full of fifties, freshly garnered from some poor sophomore who'd failed skiing class for the second year straight.
The members of the Class of 1995 will commemorate the culmination of their Dartmouth experiences this weekend, rounding out a week of senior activities and celebrations. "It has taken all spring term to prepare for this week," co-Chair of the Senior Week committee Michelle Webb '95 said. Heading the committee, Webb and David Gonzalez '95 decided which activities would be included in this year's schedule. "Anyone who wanted to be involved in planning could," Senior Class President Alyse Kornfeld said. Senior week began Tuesday with roller-skating at Lake View, Senior 'Tails and a dance in Collis Commonground. Festivities continued on Wednesday with an air ball on Tuck Drive and a coffee house at the Dartmouth Outing Club house featuring Jud Caswell '94. Thursday's events were held at Storr's Pond where a dinner catered by Blood's Seafood was also offered.
