Crew teams open spring season in three races across the Northeast

By Jehanna Axelrod | April 6, 2014

Dartmouth’s crew teams opened their spring race seasons this Saturday away from Hanover, with the women’s number one boat taking first place. The women drove to Boston to face University of Minnesota and Rutgers University, the men’s lightweight team trekked to Princeton, N.J. where it took on the University of Delaware and the men’s heavyweight team traveled to Overpeck Park, N.J. to compete against the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the College of the Holy Cross and Columbia University in the Alumni Cup.

Rec League Legends

It looks like spring has finally sprung here in Hanover. With warmer temperatures come two things: shorts and huge Dartmouth athletics home weekends. This past Saturday was one of those epic days where you can roll out of bed and go to games until you’re ready to get back into it. (Okay, we understand the first game was at noon, but lets be real, that’s when you roll out of bed, right?) These are the days Austin and I live for, right behind the day of the Granite League softball championship game and the final round of Masters.

One-on-One

By Katie Jarrett | April 6, 2014

This week, I sat down with softball pitcher Kristen Rumley ’15, who has 11 wins on the year for the 18-13 Big Green. The Texas native leads the Ancient Eight in wins, strikeouts and saves. Rumley has 128 strikeouts in the early season, 51 clear of University of Pennsylvania junior Alexis Borden. After two two-game sweeps this weekend, the Big Green leads the Ivy League at 8-0. Last week, Rumley was awarded her second Ivy League Pitcher of the Week award of the season.

The student-athlete question

By Josh Koenig | April 6, 2014

On March 26, as Dartmouth students trudged through lingering piles of snow on the third day of spring classes, student-athletes across the country had more than just the distant promise of better weather to celebrate. In Chicago, a regional director for the National Labor Relations Board ruled that football players at Northwestern University could be considered employees of the institution, giving them the right to unionize and bargain collectively — a landmark ruling for the college athletes’ rights movement.

Performance artists confront anxiety

By Hallie Huffaker | April 6, 2014

At Dartmouth, where short, busy terms create a fast-paced environment and the theater community on campus is small and intimate, performance artists often suffer from nerves just as much as audience members. Actors, musicians and singers grapple with anxiety that ranges from “butterflies” before auditions and performances to trembling and nausea. The mental rigors of a production do not end after the final curtain. The dramatic highs and abrupt end to shows often leave performance artists with a feeling of emptiness or post-show blues.

‘Lunchbox’ delivers cinematic goods

By Varun Bhuchar | April 6, 2014

After years and years of watching Indian movies with my parents, I’ve come to the conclusion that 99 percent of Indian cinema is not very good. Movies that shouldn’t last more than 80 minutes get drawn out to three-hour musical extravaganzas complete with an army of backup dancers, a multitude of European locations and strategically blowing wind. Add in clichés, musical cues that attempt to tell you how to feel, horrifically bad acting, dialogue that makes it sound like the writer hasn’t contacted human beings for 20 years and editing done by someone who just discovered Windows Movie Maker, and you’ve got to wonder how on Earth this industry stays financially solvent.

Nevola ’14 performs sleight-of-hand tricks

By Maximillian Saint-Preux | April 6, 2014

Jake Nevola ’14 began a trick by showing audience volunteers three cards, two red and one black, which he shuffled as he explained the three-card monte con game’s history. To ensure the volunteers understood the game, he showed them the cards again, only this time, all of them were black. When he flipped the cards over a third time, two were black and one was red. As the game progressed, it became obvious that nothing is as fair as one thinks.

Students, groups gather for first global health day

By Kate Bradshaw | April 3, 2014

At the Dickey Center for International Understanding’s first annual Global Health Day on Thursday, in between attending a networking session and panel discussions, students tossed beanbags in the hopes of earning “health care dollars.” Participants, who were each assigned a character with a specific health description, also lost “health status points” based on simulated events. The session, organized by The Dartmouth Institute for Health Care Policy and Clinical Practice initiative ReThink Health, sought to address barriers to health care access.

Behind the Register With Kathy McTaggart

By Sara Kassir | April 3, 2014

Last week, when I introduced myself to Collis employee Kathy McTaggart and asked her if she would be willing to tell me a little about herself, she blushed. She wasn’t sure if she was the right person to do an interview. Luckily for me, another Collis employee overheard our conversation, caught her eye and encouraged her to give me a chance to formally introduce her to campus.
