I think it’s safe to say that Dartmouth has gained a reputation for being a drinking school. Outsiders who don’t understand the intricacies of Dartmouth’s social life sometimes dismiss our fine educational institute as a hotbed of debauchery for drunkards and alcoholics. Is it fair to reach this conclusion just because of a “Drinking Time” video circulating YouTube, an unofficial mascot named Keggy the Keg, common use of the word “rage” to signify hardcore partying and a magazine issue centered on hangovers?

Thump, thump, thump. No one plans to wake up with a pounding head, but we all know that it happens. Maybe you had a winning streak playing pong or overindulged at a ‘tails event. Or maybe it was just another Monday night.

Urggghhh. Your alarm goes off. Or maybe your alarm doesn’t go off, because you never made it back to your room. Maybe you wake up because the Psi U dog is licking the dried bits of Heorot foam party foam off your face. Or maybe some girl you swear you’ve never seen before in your life nudges you and says awkwardly, “Umm, yeah … so … I’m going to class … ” and by that you are pretty sure she means “… and please don’t be here when I get back.”

For many of the socially-inclined, hangovers are a fact of life. The bigger the night, the more likely you are going to be curled in a fetal position the next day, swearing to yourself that you will never drink again — or at least not until Wednesday.

No one saw it coming.
The fall of 2007 was routine: certain alumni got their (“this-College-was-once-free-of-“) panties in a bunch, prompting certain other alumni to leap instantly down to their level and slap right back, only a little harder. Then there were questions of art. Baker, that towering Yankee icon, found himself in unwelcome Asian clutches and forbidden dignity and haircut. You couldn’t call the unpretty result a “war,” but rather “unpoliced action” on the part of the administration, followed by futile student protest.

Sometimes when you listen to music, you’ve just got to laugh.
Like when Britney Spears declares, “It’s Britney, bitch” in the opening line of her latest hit “Gimme More,” it’s impossible not to crack a smile. Oh, Britney, you know you have no right to talk like that.

Book: “Twilight” by Stephanie Meyer
Romance will never look the same after you’ve devoured Twilight, Stephenie Meyer’s deliciously sappy young adult novel about a human girl who falls in love with a vampire. Though Meyer’s writing is admittedly prosaic, the plot makes up for what’s lacking in style. The simple prose is perfect for finals week and will have you hungering — or should I say thirsting — for more. — Lily Ringler
