This certainly has been a strange winter in New Hampshire. With surprisingly warm temperatures and little snow, Dartmouth has skipped the worst the winter has to offer, resulting in a less than festive Winter Carnival. While the mild temperatures have prevented most of the student body from enjoying a winter wonderland in Hanover, one group of students has been affected more than most — the men and women of the Dartmouth ski teams, who are reliant on the snow for training and competition.

Metta World Peace might be the most entertaining character in professional sports. This isn’t the first time I’ve written about the athlete formerly known as Ron Artest, and it sure as hell won’t be my last. Metta is the perfect combination of crazy and funny. Watching Metta on a daily basis is like watching Wile E. Coyote walk on a tightrope over a dynamite-filled chasm while holding an extremely sensitive tank of nitroglycerin. You know a disaster is imminent because something has to explode, but you’re laughing the entire time because the buildup to the calamity is captivating and wildly entertaining.
