Through the Looking Glass: The Mundane Miracle of Resilience

By Sadia Hassan | May 3, 2016

In Tomas Tranströmmer’s poem “The Blue House” (1997), a man stands in the woods outside of his home and sees with new eyes. It is as though he were dead and suddenly flooded with sight. Before him, the house transforms into a child’s drawing. The timber is heavy with sorrow and joy. The garden is a new world awash with weeds. The walls and ceilings tell a story different than he remembers. At the end of the poem, everything falls away except for a single image: a battered ship setting sail on raging seas. Each of our lives is trailed by a phantom life, he asserts, “a sister vessel which plows an entirely different route.”

Like many television comedians have discovered, particularly Saturday Night Live cast members, cinematic audiences are unwelcoming of stars traversing media. Fortunately, the dynamic duo’s antics translate into a feature narrative film, while maintaining the same sketch comedy style which made them household names.

The effect of NCAA practice restrictions on student-athletes

May 1, 2016

If you ask any Dartmouth student about his or her day, the answer is usually “Things are busy.” At any given time there can be a lot to manage, from class to extracurricular activities to socializing, to even the little things like when to get meals and do laundry. For a student athlete, add in nearly 20 hours a week in practice and competition, in addition to travel time. “It’s pretty busy, but it’s manageable,” said Justin Donawa ’19, a two-sport athlete on the soccer and track and field teams while describing his schedule. Dartmouth’s 35 varsity teams compete in the Ivy League Conference and the NCAA Division I, a high level of competition that translates into over two hours in practice most days of the week. “Typically I’m at practice around two hours a day five days a week.
