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 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.

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.
The most prominent component of the landscaping project will be a grass amphitheater facing Kemeny Hall, which is slated to be finished this term. The new amphitheater will be available for student activities, also serving as a place for events, scheduled functions and possibly even lectures.
Sophomore summer isn't just for sophomores anymore. The traditionally sophomore-saturated term is still heavy on the oh-nines, but now includes a healthy dose of about 100 upperclassmen, about 9 months removed from their first sophomore summer. From taking classes, to working near campus, to participating in locally-held programs, many older students are taking what they learned last summer and using it to maximize this summer's potential.

As local businesses and high school students prepare for Green Key Weekend, residents of the town of Hanover will not be as much of a presence on campus as they tend to be over Homecoming and Winter Carnival -- a difference attributable to the insular focus of most of the weekend's activities.
The bands have been booked, the kegs have been tagged and the grills have been cleaned as the College's fraternities and sororities prepare for the 2007 Green Key weekend. The celebration kicked off Wednesday evening with Kappa Delta Epsilon sorority's tri-annual Tackies costume party.
Newcomb said that much of this was intentional to ease the stress on employees at the Collis information desk. She explained that whereas tickets for The Roots went on sale only one week before the concert, tickets for Third Eye Blind were deliberately put on sale two and a half weeks before.
Editor's note: This article is the first in a two-part series on streaking. Today's article examines streaking at Dartmouth; tomorrow's will compare Dartmouth's streaking culture to other colleges.
Thanks to the beauty of the trimester system, Dartmouth's calendar calls for three big festival weekends per year. (Apologies to Tubestock, the recently-defunct fourth celebration: you will be sorely missed.) While many colleges on a traditional semester hold their major weekends in the fall and spring, several nearby schools embrace the bone-chilling temperatures of a New England winter with their own annual incarnations of a winter carnival.
