’15: “I just wear my clothes until the wrinkles go away.” ’16: “I kept looking at my notes to give him a hint.
Three years ago I left home, hiking pack on my back and stiff boots on my feet, for my first-year trip. After our first day of hiking, my trip and I arrived at our campsite where we encountered a thru-hiker. His trail name was Lazarus.
The topic of anniversaries — our centerfold this week — got me thinking about the importance of getting a little perspective, which is hard to do while burrowed in the stacks or, in my case, lurking in my off-campus apartment. There are so many people I could have met, clubs I could have joined, apples I could have picked. It’s a good thing I still have a little bit of that precious time left.
I could probably write this yearlong column exclusively about Robin Thicke’s personal and deep-seated emotional problems. But I won’t do that to you, Phil. For this week, at least, I’d like to focus on Thicke’s deposition testimony from April, which was just recently made public.
The topic of this article is sorority rush. My first introduction to the nightmare circus of sorority rush came when I was a sophomore, sitting in Collis and watching what I later learned were bids get handed out. I saw girls come up to the table where the Rogue Eyes were seated, open an envelope and proceed to either screech with glee, or to twitch a little and give an affected “Yay!”
We asked our staff the hard-hitting questions on topics like leaf peeping and Homecoming.
What's in this week (and out — pledging?) at Dartmouth.
It’s time to look beyond the numbers and change our ways.
Coed houses can contribute to the stability of sophomore rush.
In 2012, Dartmouth lost a heartbreaker to the University of Pennsylvania by a touchdown. In 2013, after a missed game-winning field goal by the Big Green, the Quakers eventually prevailed in quadruple overtime. Now, one year after knocking off the presumptive champion in the final week of the season and inching closer to the top of the Ivy League, the football team prepares to open play in the Ancient Eight this weekend as it seeks revenge against the University of Pennsylvania.
Week three brings the beginning of the Ivy slate for the Dartmouth football and men’s soccer teams, as several others move further into their Ancient Eight schedule.
Following a change in how the College tallies liquor law arrests and violations, reports of these incidents skyrocketed.
A full house of students, alumni, professors and community members packed into the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network’s Innovation Center and New Venture Incubator Wednesday night for the space’s grand opening. LED lights, which are usually set to Dartmouth green, pulsed different colors as a DJ played high-energy music and guests milled about.
The office of residential life received around 3,740 housing requests for fall term, requiring spaces in Cutter-Shabazz Hall, Alpha Chi Alpha fraternity, Delta Delta Delta sorority and the Chinese Language House to convert into bedrooms. Director of undergraduate housing Rachael Class-Giguere attributed the residential squeeze largely to the influx of the Class of 2018, the largest class in Dartmouth’s history.
The College and the Town of Hanover are working together to improve trails in Pine Park, a privately managed forest reserve near campus, by building a bridge over a crossing near the mouth of Girl Brook, where it flows into the Connecticut River. Construction is slated to begin the week of Oct. 13 and scheduled to finish by Thanksgiving, Hanover public works director Peter Kulbacki said.
Questioning why women like sports is indicative of a larger issue.
We asked our staff for their thoughts on the DartmouthX initiative.
This year Dartmouth has a robot on the football field, designed to help protect players -— not from alien invaders, but from injuries. At every home football game, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center’s first telemedicine robot will run up and down the sideline, screening for traumatic head injuries like concussions.
Following an impressive five-game unbeaten streak, the women’s soccer team fell to Sacred Heart University on the road Tuesday night 1-0 in overtime. Despite faltering in its fourth overtime game of the year, the Big Green has demonstrated offensive potential, and players remain hopeful heading into Saturday’s Ivy League opener. To commence the season, Dartmouth (3-3-2, 0-0-1 Ivy) made an unusual trek to the Northwest, participating in the Husky/Nike Invitational in Seattle. The trip was the Big Green’s first to the West Coast since 2010. Although the team lost both its games, head coach Ron Rainey said these early challenges strengthened his team, showing what the players did well and what they needed to improve on.

Lined with deep blue velvet, each case contains a different story weaved together by letters to and from the renowned poet Robert Frost. The letters, part of the exhibit “Corresponding Friendships: Robert Frost’s Letters,” give viewers a glimpse of the poet’s humanity.
