Any Given Thursday

By Rich Shen and Austin Lim | April 1, 2015

At every high school reunion, you will always find that one jock who peaked in high school and can’t seem to let it go. He always comes back wearing his old varsity letterman’s jacket with his hair combed just a little too perfectly, and he’ll start off every conversation with “you remember the time when...” before delving into some long story no one else remembers. This guy will probably still be reliving the “glory days” at the next reunion — and every reunion after for that matter. Some people just can’t accept that they are on the decline, and they just refuse to exit the game gracefully.

The women now enter conference matches with a 13-3 record and ranked No. 29 in the nation.

“Water Ways” flows into opening day

By Annie Smith | April 1, 2015

This weekend, Bianco’s idea — which was handed off to Amelia Kahl, coordinator of academic programming at the Hood, in the early stages — will come to fruition in “Water Ways: Tension and Flow,” a new exhibit at the museum that explores the relationship between water and human civilization and includes more than 20 works from around the globe. The exhibit, which primarily features 20th- and 21st-century photographs, also includes a video recording of the meditative, continuous surf off of the coast of Massachusetts and one object, a water jar with symbolic rain clouds from the Native American community of Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico. As expected from its title, the exhibition touches on a number of water-related themes, including the overuse of water sources, the destructive properties of flooding and the fishing industry.

The College offered admission to 2,120 students, about 10.3 percent of the total applicant pool.

First-Year Trips sees decrease in leader, Croo applications

By Lauren Budd | March 31, 2015

This year’s total number of student applications to be Dartmouth Outing Club First-Year Trip leaders and Croo members decreased from last year’s applicant pool, director Peety Kaur ’15 and assistant director Sam Parker ’15 said. Kaur attributed the drop in applications to the new academic calendar and the date on which sophomore summer ends, which prevents all sophomores on campus during the summer from participating as a member of a Croo and limits the number of sections in which a sophomore could participate as a leader.

By Hallie Huffaker | March 31, 2015
