I am officially starting the JACOF (Jourdan Abel Carhartt Ownership Fund). The velvet pants are not going to cut it anymore. So come by 1-- Mid Mass (Colin's palace) and drop a dime or two in the JACOF bowl (not to be confused with the Chugach Powder Fund). Wouldn't it be cool if the DOC was responsible for the introduction of these 'sweet orange pieces of asphalt' (coined by Colin) to the greater Miami area?"
With the end of winter and the fleeting promise of spring, Dartmouth students are stashing away their skis and ice skates and taking up warmer weather activities in the New Hampshire outdoors.
Eli Diament '02, who was elected president of The Dartmouth Outing Club Tuesday, admitted something most people would probably never expect -- he was terrified when he went on his first wilderness expedition at age 14.
While certain activities -- partying, drinking, building snow sculptures and having fun -- remain key Winter Carnival traditions, according to Dartmouth alumni the weekend festivities have evolved significantly over the years.

To the Editor,
Pushing through the back doors of Collis towards Robo and Thayer, a wispy gust greets me. As I descend the steps, my eyes adjust to the darkness of the cold winter evening and the orange glow from the flake filled night sky. To my right, vans are being loaded with packs and cross-country skis as an excited group heads out into the mountains for a magical weekend. Familiar faces shuffle in and out of Thayer and join in the gathering of acquaintances reveling in the quiet of the newly fallen snow. With my feet crunching over a blanket of white towards Mass Row, I recall one of my main reasons for choosing Dartmouth College.
Outgoing 2001 Class Council President Jon Potter "is the kind of guy who will always come through for you," Summer Assembly President Jorge Miranda '01 said.
Whether you know very little about Dartmouth or you grew up hearing stories about the College in your crib, the Dartmouth Outing Club, an integral part of Dartmouth's history and tradition, will probably provide your first real introduction to the College.
Page three of the introduction to the Student Handbook defines the Principle of Community as "The life and work of a Dartmouth student should be based on integrity, responsibility and consideration. In all activities each student is expected to be sensitive to and respectful of the rights and interests of others and to be personally honest. He or she should be appreciative of the diversity of the community as providing an opportunity for learning and moral growth."
LOU: Kev, are you ready for Green Key?
As the campus anticipated Green Key Weekend, memories of this year's Winter Carnival, marked by the surprise announcement of the Trustees' Social and Residential Life Initiative and subsequent cancellation of all registered parties for the weekend, were on students' minds.
Whether they were roasting stolen pigs, hunting down women, drinking alcohol or just working, alumni interviewed by The Dartmouth said they had strong memories of what Green Key Weekend was like during their careers at the College.
Over the past year, our campus has had many discussions about categories that we use to define and divide ourselves. In the fall, the ghetto party sparked dialogue about race. In the winter, the "Greek issue" was paramount. Most recently, we have been confronted by the issues of sexual and religious preferences. Palaeopitus would like to bring to your attention the topic of socioeconomic status (SES). It is a less salient categorization than the previously mentioned ones, but for that exact reason this "silent denominator" is one of the most important to recognize.
With offerings like cooking and ballroom dancing lessons, e-mail messages from the 2001 Class Council lately resemble a brochure from the Collis Miniversity.
For over 50 years, incoming Dartmouth freshmen have started their careers known not as students ready to tackle the world of college academia, but as "trippees" prepared to spend several showerless days in the woods.
The bare-walled office of Mitch Jacobs '94, founder and president of the Hanover Green Card, and recently-appointed manager of the College's DASH program, overlooks the road construction on West Wheelock Street through a large window.
Green Key weekend is currently a favorite event among many members of the student body -- but it seems the memories of the weekend from the days of old are more enthusiastic than reactions of more recent times.
One could say Registrar Thomas Bickel is going to the birds after 11 years of regulating students' enrollment patterns, grades and distribution requirements.
