I'm writing this column a day early (Saturday rather than Sunday), as I'm on the road with the rugby team this weekend at the Ivy League tournament, playing in my last collegiate rugby games ever. Dartmouth routed Cornell and Princeton a combined 123 points-to-nil on Saturday, and we're up against the hated Hahvahd in the championship game on Sunday afternoon down in New York City.
DINING
A quick perusal of Wikipedia reveals that the usual spring break activities include "binge drinking, recreational drug use and casual sex," and indeed the words "spring break" conjure images of sand, sun, surf and fun.
Having just experienced my first illustrious Winter Carnival, I might be expected to conclude the weekend singing the praises of the Big Green, winter fun and the traditions I'll remember for a lifetime. Yet sitting here on this February day, I have mainly one feeling: disappointment.
Winter Carnival weekend has become an integral part of the Dartmouth experience over the past 99 years, and it all began with an article in The Dartmouth.
Although this year's Winter Carnival theme, "Summitting a Century: 100 Years of the DOC," emphasizes Dartmouth's traditional outdoor events, students can find relief from the frigid weather with indoor activities hosted by various campus organizations.
Students wary of the winter chill will be hard-pressed to find a reason not to go outside this Winter Carnival, thanks to this year's efforts by Dartmouth Outing Club to highlight outdoor activities.
Frat parties and debauchery epitomize Winter Carnival for much of the Dartmouth community, but the event's earliest incarnations were spent mainly on the ski slopes and toboggan runs north of campus, not in the dance parties and fraternities of Webster Avenue. The Dartmouth Outing Club was the key instigator of these activities then and hopes to highlight them once again on the group's 100th birthday.
Many of Dartmouth's student organizations may have to reevaluate their budgets in light of the current financial crisis, according to student leaders and College officials. While most groups are still operating normally, some have already cut back on their expenditures.
The slow drop of the Times Square crystal ball brings with it a new lease on life and the common desire to shape up and start over. The pounding headache that usually accompanies the dawn of a new year makes it easier to keep those virtue-filled vows for a little while, a feat that can become increasingly difficult, even in the best of times.
A rower during all four years of her Dartmouth career, Kate Davison '07 returned to Hanover as the second assistant coach of the women's crew team. Davison, who was hired in December, will assist with recruiting and play a part in coaching both the varsity and novice crews.
As the Ivy League prohibits the use of institutional funds to pay for international travel, funding for the trip came from private donations and team fundraising activities.
The Kahurangi Maori Dance Theatre, a performing arts group from New Zealand, was honored at a dinner held in Collis Common Ground Sunday. The dinner featured a performance of a Maori welcome chant by Dartmouth students who participated in the anthropology department's foreign study program in New Zealand last winter. The dinner was hosted by Dartmouth's anthropology, Native American studies, and linguistics and cognitive science departments. The troupe, which specializes in indigenous dance and music from New Zealand's Maori tribe, will perform at Bones Gate fraternity on Monday and the Hopkins Center for the Arts on Tuesday, as part of its annual North American tour. This show will combine dance, chanting and oratory to showcase Maori culture.

Although the weather right now would seem to indicate otherwise, Dartmouth's spring sports teams are already gearing up for their respective seasons. Here's a brief look at the expectations and outlooks for each team:

While Dartmouth boasts the oldest collegiate winter carnival in the nation, celebrating its 98th festival this year, other colleges across the northeast have their own ways of welcoming in the winter season. These celebrations range from simple, unorganized traditions -- Cornell students enjoy sledding down the campus's Libe Slope on dining hall trays each year -- to grand-scale athletic conferences and festive weekends much like Dartmouth's own.
Some alumni said the elimination of events like the construction of numerous snow sculptures and Psi Upsilon fraternity's keg jump serve as evidence of a less spirited campus.
Although well-established in Dartmouth history, each year's Winter Carnival provides a chance for its organizing students to leave their mark on one of the College's most storied traditions.
Yardsale. Eat it. Bite it. Bite it hard. Take a digger. A huge digger. If you've ever been skiing, you know how easy it is to wipe out, fall, whatever. One minute your Dumb Friend is tucking a cross-cut, the next second someone comes over the rise and takes him out: radius, ulna and ski poles snap. Hopefully you've never been that friend.
