Daily Debriefing

Bowing to weeks of pressure from both sides of the aisle due to a botched rollout of healthcare.gov, President Obama announced yesterday that he would reverse course and allow insurance companies to keep individuals on canceled health insurance plans temporarily, The New York Times reported.

Trending @ Dartmouth

|

HOME MEMOIRS:Literally what is "Three For Ship?" Why is its website so confusing? DICK'S HOUSE:While there is, by definition, nothing trendy about Dick's House, the difficulty one has getting an appointment seems to imply it's the hottest spot on campus. COURSE REJECTION:Somehow not getting into the classes you wanted stings almost as much as getting rejected for formal.

The Known and Never Known

|

As the fall winds down, we find ourselves growing more and more nostalgic of our time here. They say you get wiser with age, but as the sun sets on our Dartmouth careers, we feel we are becoming less knowledgeable and less relevant. We did some research and uncovered dirt on aspects of Dartmouth that ’17s will never know, as well as things only they (so far) have experienced.

The Dartmouth '16 Guy: I'm not really into the party scene, but those frisbee girls really know how to throw down. '17 Girl: All of you New Yorkers have sticks up your asses.

A Room With Many Views

|

The 1902 Room seemed like the perfect place for me to kill some time. I didn’t want the stuffiness of Sanborn, the facetime of First Floor Berry or the loneliness of the stacks, and the 1902 Room was just there. Beckoning me. I plop myself down in one of the 77 chairs and pretended to do work for quite some time.

What Have We Done

|

Hello. Merry finals season. Happy Thanksgiving. Merry Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa. Happy New Year. Good winterim. The next time you hear from us, all of this will be over, grades will be in, turkeys eaten in celebration of things that should not be celebrated, presents unwrapped, resolutions made and resolutions shattered.

The Alternative Seven

|

A few weeks ago, as I walked home from Collis, I witnessed a couple in the middle of the Green. Fully going at it. At 9 p.m. Not a single passerby intervened, giggled or ogled. Actually, no one so much as flinched. This, Dartmouth, is our cry for help.

In Case You Were Wondering

|

In case you were wondering, ping pong, or table tennis, is probably older than you think it is — some form of it has existed since the mid-1800s. Modern paddles and balls have been around since the 1950s, and by all accounts, some variation of pong has been played at Dartmouth since then. I could have made my last column of the term be something deep and insightful, but instead I have chosen to write a treatise on pong.

Football team to face Brown in R.I.

|

The football team seeks to keep its slim Ivy League title hopes alive with an away victory over Brown University on Saturday in Providence, R.I. A win over Brown (5-3, 2-3 Ivy) this weekend and losses by Harvard University and Princeton University against Yale University would set up a showdown in two weeks where Dartmouth (4-4, 3-2 Ivy) could earn a share of the title against the Tigers.

Pulse of the Sports World

|

As the college basketball season gets underway, there is little doubt that fans across the Ivy League are contemplating what Harvard University’s stunning NCAA tournament win last year might mean for the program. In the first round, the 14th-seeded Crimson upset third-seeded University of New Mexico, shocking the nation and busting many brackets. Harvard’s win was an indicator to many that an Ivy League team can indeed compete at the highest level of Division I basketball.
