Murmurs of Riding the Pine now echo through the halls of Baker-Berry Library. “Did you see what Hank and Fish wrote this week? I can’t believe our boys did it again!” Our Riding the Pine groupies may think we have it all figured out. They see the trappings of glory but are sadly blind to the reality of the life of the columnist. Sure, our picture may run on the back page of The Dartmouth once a week, but we still can’t get on table at Heorot supertails. Yeah, we may get eight likes on the Facebook post of our latest column, but neither of us could score an invite to Sigma Delt semi. We’re rolling in Internet dollars, but unfortunately, that’s not an accepted form of payment for a Boloco burrito bowl.

Oh, we were comfortable. Perhaps too comfortable. But then editor-in-chief Lindsay Ellis made us an offer we simply couldn’t refuse. And now, everything has changed. Can you blame us for being young and naive? Once we were happy, lying fully prostrate and partially nude while blogging. Hank rested on a mini-futon, Fish on a sheetless bed. But now we find ourselves sitting at “desks” as we write our “column,” disgusted at the dry husks of men that we have become. We used to blog for fun, for relaxation and for the Choates. Now we’re under the bright lights and we’ve realized that we’re all too easily tantalized by the fruits of fame. Now we have to choose: either we dare to be true, fully expecting to be transferred to the Arts & Entertainment section, or we start producing “click bait” to land our dream jobs at Buzzfeed, where we end up like the Winklevoss twins, rich in Bitcoin but poor in spirit.

Twice in her life, Tara Simmons ’17 has hit a hole in one. Once, she said, she was at a tournament during competitive play. But the other occurred during a casual round with her brothers, on a course where the hole had a hidden pin location.

As the treasurer of a student group, I was recently informed that our group had gone slightly over budget for an event. This being the case, I decided to look closely into the charges billed to our organization’s account. What I found illustrates a complete abuse of student groups and an exploitation of the student activity fee by certain services provided by various divisions of Dartmouth, such as the Hopkins Center and the Office of Conferences and Special Events. This is a serious problem that the College should address.

With a runner on first and no outs in the inning, San Diego State sophomore Leia Ruiz sent the 1-2 pitch by Ashley Sissel ’17 deep to center field. Megan Averitt ’15 chased back, but the ball sailed just out of the reach of her glove as the junior crashed into the wall. The ball caromed off the fence towards right fielder Brianna Lohmann ’16. Lohmann tried to replicate her fifth-inning heroics as she came up firing to try to catch sophomore Monica Downey out at the plate, but Downey slid in just under the tag by catcher Alex St. Romain ’14 for the run that ended the Big Green’s season.

Dartmouth’s roots in American cricket tradition extend back to the late 1700s, when one of the earliest recorded games of cricket in the U.S. was believed to be played on the Green. Since then, faculty and students have routinely gathered for casual matches, forming an informal group in the 1990s. In the past couple of years, the Dartmouth College Cricket Club has enjoyed a considerable amount of growth and recognition as cricket’s popularity has increased on the East Coast.

NEW YORK — Despite scoring first in both games, the baseball team ended its season in New York this weekend exactly as it did last year, falling to Columbia University in the best of three Ivy Championship Series. The Lions (27-17, 15-5 Ivy) took the Big Green (18-21, 11-9 Ivy) 6-2 in game one and 4-1 in game two of a Saturday doubleheader. The loss on enemy turf represents the fourth in a row for the team, leaving the four seniors — Louis Concato ’14, co-captain Jeff Keller ’14, co-captain Dustin Selzer ’14 and Ryan Toimil ’14 — without the gratification of a League title in their careers.

After some deliberation, we have come to the conclusion that our friendship has been built (in part) upon a love of two things: messy buns and elastic waistbands. While there is definitely some camaraderie in consistently looking like you just woke up or wearing gym clothes to create the illusion of fitness, you may be surprised to learn that the vast majority of people don’t view sweatpants with quite the same admiration that we do. Searching desperately for a community that would appreciate our unique sense of style and disdain for restrictive clothing, we ventured down to Mighty Yoga in Hanover for a class.

Dartmouth and Columbia University emerged from the carnage of an all-out battle for the Red Rolfe and Lou Gehrig Division titles last weekend, ending one of the most dramatic regular seasons Ivy League baseball has seen in years. Both teams rallied from second place deficits forged in early season play to come back and take their divisions in one-game playoffs against surprise Division competitors, Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania. This sets up a rematch of last year’s series, which the Lions won.
