Masculinity, Reconsidered
14 May 2010
David Hilliard is the current Artist in Residence here at Dartmouth, creating photographic polyptychs: multi-paneled art praising ordinary life. Hilliard grew up in rural Massachusetts, and now creates photographs that are detached and isolated, much like the landscape of New England, from which he draws inspiration. This week, I got the chance to sit down with Hilliard and ask him a few questions about his recent exhibition, Highway of Thought, which was on display in the Hop a couple of weeks ago.

Spring Awakening
14 May 2010
Spring sex. There’s nothing like it. For some reason, every single animate being in the world just wants to fuck. It’s on the minds of everyone walking across the green, all those people shedding clothes and tousling hair. In the winter you only wanted someone in your bed to keep you warm, but now it’s [...]

Faith Plus One
14 May 2010
It’s strange to think that once, Dartmouth was a missionary school. By the time Dartmouth became a secular institution and religious affiliation was no more, it maintained a bastion of religion in the Tucker Foundation, created by President Tucker at the turn of the century. Today there are more than 25 religious groups on campus, ranging from the Quakers to the Hindu group Shanti. And now, there will be a religious group for the non-religious.

A Place for Atheism
14 May 2010
Recently, a new campus organization called Atheists, Humanists, and Agnostics (AHA) has been working to get approval by the Tucker Foundation as an “affiliated religious group” as you will see in Sora Ryu’s article on the group this issue. Despite the large number of students at Dartmouth who self-identify as atheists, AHA would be the first non-theistic organization to be officially recognized by COSO in Dartmouth’s history. In a recent article in The Dartmouth entitled “AHA’s Moment”, the author, Brendan Woods, said that as a Christian, he believes that all people should be permitted to join in religious discourse, no matter their faith. I agree wholeheartedly with his position of acceptance, and I think the recognition of an atheist group on campus is long overdue.

Too Greedy and Too Deep
14 May 2010
At 9:45 a.m. on April 20th, an explosion rocked the Deepwater Horizon, an offshore drilling rig owned by British Petroleum (BP) in the Gulf of Mexico. Survivors had mere minutes to escape the inferno as black, multi-story clouds of smoke rose into the sky. The captain of a rescue boat reported the fire as being [...]

Alternative Music Spaces
14 May 2010
The basement scene has everything you might expect on a normal Friday night: rowdy behavior, loud music, kegs. However, this isn’t the basement of a house on Webster Ave, it’s the basement of Collis.

The Other Side of Aid
30 April 2010
Last issue, I reported on Dr. Dambisa Moyo’s talk on her book Dead Aid in which she argues that the billions of government-to-government aid to Africa is not only an inefficient mess, but is also hurting African countries. She reasons that aid harms development directly by causing foreign dependence and inflation, and indirectly through [...]

Smackdown Politics
30 April 2010
The crowd chants the name of the valiant hero as he prepares to make his entrance and address the rabid crowd of 80,000 who stand jam-packed in the stadium in anticipation of his arrival. A fighting song is played and the wrestling superstar makes his way to the stadium where he is greeted by thousands of screaming fans. In his speech, he vows to prove his opponent wrong at their big showdown. As he finishes, the crowd again cheers “OBAMA, OBAMA! OBAMA!”

DIY Sexperts
30 April 2010
Hello readers, this is SEX, and hopefully will appear regularly in future DFP issues. If not, then forgive me; I’m probably just not getting any ass at the moment and am feeling bitter about it. For the first appearance of SEX, the column, I’d like to talk about the Sexperts. Many of us have experienced something that has to do with the Sexperts, whether it was a special freshmen floor meeting about sex, the Sex Fair, or the “Consensual sex is hot” summer event.

For God and the Gays
30 April 2010
Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson, the first non-celibate gay bishop, spoke this past Wednesday in Rollins Chapel to kick off Pride Week. His talk, Sexuality and Religion, was organized by the Pride Planning Committee and the Tucker Foundation and was well-attended by members of the LBGTQA and faith communities alike. Bishop Robinson is described as humble by his diocese in New Hampshire. An effective speaker, he spoke with me last November, at DGALA, the annual gathering of Dartmouth LBGTQ Alumni. Like the last time, He did not fail to impress.
