On the wall of Room K in Chi Gamma Epsilon fraternity hangs a two feet by three feet piece of cardboard covered in marker. Down the left side runs a series of boxes, a few already adorned with check marks, each denoting feats to be achieved by June 8, 2008, the day that seniors will finally be released from the grips of the College (or, in some cases, dragged away kicking and screaming). The day, of course, is graduation day. More »
I’m most excited to be able to wear open-toed shoes again even though, knowing New Hampshire weather, I’ll probably have to wait until at least May to be able to do that! More »
I can’t believe I’m actually writing this, but it truly is the end of an era. No, I’m still writing for The Mirror next term, so you can relax a little bit. I am sad to say that today, March 7th, 2008, is the last time that the “noparentswoo” and “The Still North” comic strips will appear together in The Dartmouth. It’s a good thing I’m writing in the comfort of my own home, because the sadness has begun to move from my heart to my tear ducts. More »
Sophomore summer and senior spring. Hands down, no other terms at Dartmouth generate as much anticipation and excitement as these two. Mention either one to an ‘08 right now, and they will gush at length about how totally sweet it was or will be. They played or will play so much pong. They took/will take such easy classes.

While there are some of us (like me) who choose to procrastinate through online shopping and fashion blog reading (try www.gofugyourself.com), others will buckle down and get their work done. But since this is a fashion column and not some sort of study advice column that hates on procrastinators, here’s what I’ve noticed: there are two types of dressers that stand out during finals trudging across campus to their respective exam locations, the casual and the cleaned up.

So what do you have planned for senior spring? Swimming will be over, so hanging out a lot will be my number one priority. I’m also going to take a spinning P.E. class through FLIP, continue swimming three days a week with the team in the spring, take golf lessons … and I’m planning on taking wine tasting classes through Collis Miniversity.

Kid [in the Dartmouth Bookstore]: Daddy, does Darth Vader have a brain? Father: Yes, son, everyone has a brain. Except for Republicans. More »
Greek spaces, eating spaces, study spaces — it seems like no place is safe from public displays of affection. Now the Internet, which should solely be the domain of kinky porn, is being overrun by so-cute-you-barf love notes and coupley melodrama. Sandra Himen takes a stand against the PDA that you find on your PDA. More »
The times, they are a-changing. True words, Bob Dylan, true words. It comes as no surprise then that as times change, so too the music we consume. Throughout musical history, genres have been born, risen great heights to become the defining sound of a generation and then withdrawn from sight after being either completely rejected or gradually replaced. As for the artists working within these genres, they have lived on through their music, burned out, faded away or abandoned their forsaken style to take root in one more current. More »
