Starkly reminding us of the threat of domestic terrorism, the Tucson shootings killed 6 people, severely injured 14, and opened old wounds across the nation. The episode has sparked a finger-pointing debate that seeks to find a single motive for the tragic episode.

Landon peered closer at the woman. Shit, is she crying?

It might be easy to peg this film a superbly shot picture of a mature preteen mothering her spoiled, immature Hollywood father.

Collegeprowler.com gives our College an A+ for academics, an A for Greek life, a C for weather, and an A+ for campus dining. Consistently, Dartmouth has a reputation for good food. But while DDS may have received a perfect score online, it’s still a college dining service, and students with dietary restrictions should do some preliminary investigation before getting ready for that freshmen fifteen.

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 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 [...]

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.

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.

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 [...]
