Spotlight On: Lou's
(04/11/13 12:00pm)
Perhaps no other local business is as nationally recognizable as Lou’s Restaurant and Bakery. Opened in 1947, the family-run business has developed deep ties with both the Hanover and Dartmouth College communities. When I sat down to talk over the phone with owner Toby Fried, I got a unique perspective on just how this humble restaurant gained its wide renown.
Hanover named 13th best small town to visit in 2013
(04/09/13 11:30am)
Hanover, ranked 13th behind a few other small towns from across America, was noted for its New England setting, its proximity to a variety of outdoor activities for all seasons, and its bookstores, cafes and attractions offered by the College, including the Hood Museum of Art, the Hopkins Center, and Baker-Berry Library. The rankings also referred to the Orozco murals, which have recently become a national historical landmark. Smithsonian even noted Dartmouth College’s propensity for good times and “some of the Ivy League’s wildest parties.”
Dartmouth Coach services students
(04/08/13 10:30am)
Although it’s a relatively recent addition to the College, the Dartmouth Coach is a business most students today could not do without. Whether it’s for a trip to New York for a job interview or a ride to Logan Airport to catch a flight that will take you home, the service makes travel outside of Hanover a possibility. When you can’t drive 15 minutes to get to White River Junction for Amtrak, or find friends with cars, you can at least depend on the black and white buses in front of the Hop.

All Put Together: A Great Way To Start The Term
(04/03/13 1:00pm)
It’s barely the second week of the term and you’re probably just settling in your new dorm, getting used to waking up for your 9L, and figuring out the new Collis layout. My favorite way to start the term is by buying new school supplies. I still remember going to Target and buying my Harry Potter notebooks or my Spice Girls backpack with its matching pencil case. Even though I’m in college, I still buy colorful notebooks and cute pencil cases. Here are some ideas on how to make your school supplies a little less bland and a little more fun.

Tube Talk: Three episodes to inspire new beginnings
(03/28/13 1:00pm)
This first episode is about more than a young girl taking on the Big Apple. In fact, Manhattan plays more of a behind-the-scenes role in the pilot. Carrie Bradshaw (AnnaSophia Robb) and her family are learning to cope with the loss of her mother in the midst of the relentless back-to-school hustle and bustle. On Carrie’s first day of her junior year in high school, her father (Matt Letscher) talks to Carrie’s guidance counselor and the two decide she should take an internship at the law firm of one of Tom’s friends. Carrie launches into a frenzy of excitement after hearing that the internship will be in Manhattan, and the deal is made.

Surviving finals period: a Dartbeat guide
(03/05/13 11:00am)
Realize everyone is different. Some people need to micromanage their week into half-hour chunks. If you're one of those people, that's cool. If you're not, try to stay organized, but don't let the hyper-planners stress you out. The same goes for sleeping, exercising, whatever. Do what works for you. Let your natural sleep patterns take over. For some, this may mean studying until 5 a.m. One really nice thing about being a total night owl is that you get free reign of the library. At five in the morning, no one is texting you back, no one is tweeting and you can pace around the periodicals room reciting things to memorize them because it’s totally empty. If you like to go to bed at 7 p.m. and wake up at 3 a.m. to study, go for it. That being said; don't pull an all-nighter the night before an exam, especially if it's an 8 a.m. exam. You won't make it, so don't even think about it. Your brain won't work. Make sure you get enough sleep, even if you are keeping really odd hours. If you do end up finishing your paper at 4 a.m. that's due six hours later, classroom buildings are usually locked in the middle of the night. Don't bother making the trek over to Wilder Hall, you'll be out of luck. Just set your alarm to wake up in a few hours to turn it in, and then go back to sleep. Spend the day in FoCo. The upstairs level has big tables, and is usually not too noisy. Your negative DBA account will thank you when you manage to get all of your meals out of one meal swipe. Packing can be a nice study break. For upperclassmen that are moving outof their dorms, make sure you leave time in your schedule to pack. A box here and a box there will make your last night so much less stressful. In theory packing after your last exam may seem like the most practical idea, but when you and your roommate have a 7 a.m. coach ride the morning after your last final, you will be left stressed-out, sleep-deprived and completely dysfunctional. Besides you want to spend that last night hanging out, not running around at 2 a.m. trying to procure more cardboard boxes. Remember to sell back your books. Whatever your preferred method is: Wheelock, Belltower, those stands on the corner of Wheelock and Main Street — don't wait until the last minute. They are also a nice way to get cash when, in the midst of your packing, you have misplaced your credit card and need to pay the delivery guy. Be careful what you eat. The right late night snacks can get you through the night. Odwalla at 4 a.m.? Go for it. A cup of coffee at 11 p.m. to revitalize a study session? It works for some people. Warmed-up leftovers from The Orient full of MSG? You'll feel like crap. Don't be a jerk and leave your things in the library to save a table for too long. The rule of thumb varies here. Leaving your stuff for half an hour to go get food? Totally fine. Leaving your stuff from 2 to 9 p.m.? Totally not fine. However at 2 to 9 a.m.? Fine. Although be warned, I've seen the custodians cleaning up loose-leaf papers, so make sure your work doesn't look too much like trash. Lastly, back up your work. Whether it’s emailing your paper to yourself every couple hours, using Dropbox or a USB flash drive, you should do this. There is nothing that will make your heart stop beating when you try to turn on your computer and your screen looks like the ants that appear when you try to watch MTV at your grandma's house where there is no cable. Remember, all is fair in love and war, and finals. So to speak. Good luck!
Dartbeat's guide to finals: Study spaces
(03/04/13 11:30am)
With finals approaching, prime library study spaces become competitive. The cubicles on 3rd floor Berry are full by noon, and don't even think about walking in at 8 p.m. and getting a balcony table in the periodicals room.

Why do we throw tennis balls at Princeton?
(02/27/13 1:00pm)
This week, tennis balls will be sold out at every single sports supply store in Hanover. No, everyone hasn’t suddenly decided to pick up the sport in the middle of winter — this Friday is the Dartmouth-Princeton Men’s ice hockey game.

Student DJs bring flavor to campus parties
(02/20/13 5:00pm)
Going by different aliases, student DJs play a crucial role in the Dartmouth social scene. From playing at fraternity and sorority formals to smaller charity events, these students are campus celebrities of sorts, at least under their DJ names.
Spotlight On: Stinson's Village Store
(02/19/13 10:30am)
A longtime member of the local Hanover business community, Stinson’s Village Store is a staple of the Dartmouth way of life. Whether Stinson’s is catering tailgates for sports games, supplying fraternities and sororities with pong materials or providing lunch to construction workers working on a number of Dartmouth’s new buildings, the store is an integral part of the College’s recent history.
