  • Dartmouth loses one of its own

    [In light of recent news concerning the death of a Dartmouth graduate student, I have removed my previous post from today. It will be reposted at a more appropriate time.]
    From The Dartmouth:

  • Review: Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra



    "Da da da dum..." Who hasn't heard that famous motif? It has echoed through concert halls, practice rooms, and auditoriums more times than anyone could count. And Saturday at 8 p.m., it echoed through Spaulding Auditorium. It was resonant. Radiant. Beethoven's Fifth.

  • The Daily Dartmouth is getting a make-over?

    This is what The Dartmouth's website currently looks like. Perhaps they took a page from LGB and decided to get a make-over. I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like in full. The last upgrade was plagued with issues that even now have yet to be resolved.

  • The girl who cried racist

    For those minorities having a difficult time understanding why the average suburban white family has problems empathizing with perceived racism: look no further than this article from CNN.com. The article outlines two versions of events that led to the arrest of Heather Ellis outside a Walmart. [...]

    Last night, while walking home from Canoe Club with a friend, I predicted that humanity will have destroyed itself long before Frank Sinatra goes out of style. If we accept that to be true, I’d like to propound another prognostication: that Frank Sinatra will go out of style [...]

  • Government Needs to Create Jobs

    Despite the hundreds of billions in stimulus and the massive bank bailouts, the employment numbers are getting steadily worse. Some have urged that the government should explore more direct methods of job creation, such as simply hiring more people to work in government agencies. I think there is merit to [...]
