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.

Students willing to put on cross-country skis and fun costumes participated in the annual Carni Classic, a 3 kilometer. race at the golf course at 2 p.m. Thursday. For those who preferred to stay on campus, the Human Dog Sled Race, held on the Green at 4 p.m, provided a fun option, with students braving the wintery weather in crazy costumes. The event featured prizes, music, games, and refreshments.
Blinded and deafened by clouds of dust and the sound of wrecking balls, students walking on the pathway north of Baker-Berry Library are beginning to notice the demolition of the Gerry and Bradley buildings. Demolition, which began in early December, is slated to continue through the winter and pave the way for a landscaping project that will leave a bowl-shaped open area that will separate Baker-Berry library from the newly built Kemeny Hall.
The 2008 Class Council has planned Fieldstock, a College-approved day of chariot races around the Green and a barbecue at the Big Empty Meeting Area, for Saturday, Aug. 12 as an alternative to the summer tradition of Tubestock, a 20-year-old event that was never sanctioned by the College.
Dear Anna and Chris,
On Friday night, just off the shore of Gilman Island, Kiersten Hallquist '08 and six other Dartmouth students on her Sophomore Trips flat-water canoeing section climbed into their canoes, took off their clothes and paddled their boats into one another in a moonlit game of naked bumper canoes.
It is easy to fall into the trap of treating sophomore summer -- a Dartmouth tradition since the mid-1970s -- as something of a less-than-equal cousin of the Fall, Winter and Spring sessions. In all honesty, who could blame you? The weather is beautiful, the campus is at its most stunning and there is a plethora of outdoor activities to take part in, from soccer to softball, the river to the ledges. For the members of Dartmouth's various Greek houses -- especially those who live therein -- the temptation to slough off work and rage seven nights a week is a powerful one indeed.
Last year's Carnival saw 11 students arrested by Hanover Police in party-related incidents, a small number compared to the previous year's 18. Police also had to deal with the malicious activation of two fire alarms, at least one of which was at a fraternity party, and one case of assault at a fraternity last year.
Many Dartmouth students shy away from the frigid New Hampshire winters. Some even make their Dartmouth Plans so that they never have to experience the dreaded Winter term after freshman year. But for those of us who are stuck here, or, for whatever reason, actually chose to be here during this term, there's more to do than just sit inside and mope.
From the Connecticut River to Lake Umbagog and from Camel's Hump to Moosilauke, the Dartmouth Outing Club gives the Dartmouth community the opportunity to enjoy the north woods of New England.
Co-ed sleep-overs on the Hanover golf course may be a thing of the past, but Green Key weekend still manages to bring some revelry to every Dartmouth student's Spring term.
Temperatures have flirted with the 40s, and slush puddles have replaced snow banks on the Green, but winter spirit is still in the air, as Dartmouth prepares for its annual Carnival weekend.
