Choice of Smoothie over Diet Coke Cements Healthy Collis Meal


As her yearlong quest to gain a bid to a top sorority draws to a close, Kelly Gambles ’13 thought it would be a good idea to “slim down a little” so that she could once again “fit into those three perfect dresses for rush,” which she picked out last December.

Gambles took a huge step towards achieving this goal while eating lunch at Collis Café when she decided to skip over her customary Diet Coke and instead opted for a much healthier option, a smoothie. Gambles explained her reasoning, “I’ve really been taking extra steps to be healthier. I get a smoothie with every meal now. They’re mostly fruit so you know they’re healthy. I also get half egg whites in my omelet, substitute brown rice on my stir fry and cut out the alfredo sauce on my pasta, that stuff goes straight to your hips. Yesterday I even skipped the pasta during lunch. I think my average Collis meal is around 400 calories.”

'13 Hires Personal Pledge Trainer to Prepare Him for Grueling Term

    Hank Hendrickson '13 was getting tired of his summer internship, and his focus was quickly shifting to the approaching fall term--the term he plans to pledge one of the fabled Greek houses of Dartmouth. Mr. Hendrickson saw the pledges his freshman fall, wearing silly hats and acting in strange ways, and he yearned to be a part of the process.  What he didn't know, however, was how he was going to handle all the brutal hazing.
  So Hank decided to take the bull by the balls and begin his pledge term early.  He hoped that his experience would put him at an advnatage in the process--his esophagus, and other schpincter muscles, would be prepared.

Elusive Commodity Known as “Social Capital” Revealed to be Primary Factor in Rush Process

In a controversial document leaked from the Greek Leadership Council yesterday, the long-guarded secrets of the inner workings of the sorority and fraternity rush process were revealed, leading many students to respond with shock and outrage. Though most people were aware that some combination of many complex factors come into play in order to properly categorize men and women into houses based on vague stereotypes such as stoners, WASPs, and assholes, no one was prepared to learn that there is only one distinct factor that matters: social capital.

Seniors Stop Pursuing Hook-Ups, Start Pursuing Spouses

As the class of 2011 enters their final three terms at Dartmouth, many have begun to more closely examine the men and women of their Dartmouth experience.

Mike "The Hallucination" McDonough '11 told The Dunyun, "Now, I've gotten the decade, the seven and the freshmen fifteen done. But man, it seems like every alumni met his/her spouse at Dartmouth. Straight from the DOC to the Chapel. Maybe I should start calling smushes back. I don't want to miss out on a wifey. If it don't smell bad, you might as well keep it. Right?"

Some seniors have resisted this revelation that they may have already met/smushed with their future spouse.

Nicole "Pookie" Steinberg '11 complained, "This is ridiculous. I know, let me tell you, I know for a fact that I've not met no husband. Just a bunch of pale, lanky grenades."

DOC to Add “Eat & Nap” to Next Year’s Trips Selection

Continuing their drive to get 100% of incoming freshmen to partake in the first year DOC trips program, the trips directorate voted on Thursday to establish “Eat & Nap” as an option for the next incoming class on trips. Eat & Nap edged out Competitive Eating, which several members of the directorate deemed too strenuous for the trippees that they are trying to attract.

Although 96% of the class of 2014 participated in the trips program, the main reasons given by the remaining four percent for not taking part included “being outside” and “physical activity.” Eat & Nap goes further than even the DOC’s most spirited past attempts to alleviate these concerns.

Freshmen Girls don’t yet Realize College isn’t like the Movies, Put out

Last night, over five hundred eighteen-year-old girls were unleashed on Dartmouth’s campus. These girls are the smartest bunch of incoming freshmen that the College has ever seen, ranging from one-man types fresh from high school romances to schoolgirls ready to shake off the confines of small-town America. No matter who the girl is, however, there is one thing she hasn’t yet realized: college isn’t exactly like the movies. Because they haven’t realized this, last night, more girls in the ’14 class put out in one night than will again for the rest of college. Campus men rejoiced.

Goldman Sachs Puzzled by Lack of Response to ‘Exciting Job Offer for Students’

Human resources officers at Goldman Sachs, a leading global investment bank, have been baffled by the lack of interest in a series of recruiting emails, which they have been sending to Dartmouth Students throughout the summer. Instead of an impersonal resume submission through DartBoard, Goldman recruiters attempted to take advantage of Dartmouth's unique blitz culture and make the process more personal by sending emails to each student. Although they have sent emails to students with subjects such as “Exciting Job for Dartmouth Students” and “Cool Student Job Opportunity!!!”, applications to Goldman Sachs are down 98% from last year.

Masters Victors Powered by Secret Source of Energy and Confidence

"Cocaine's a helluva drug." Rick James

Nobody could understand the phenomenon. On Saturday, both teams from Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity made it to the finals of Masters, an annual pong tournament between fraternities. SAE, which is not normally known for its athleticism or success, does have one thing on its side: some kind of secret shared between the brothers that allows its members to feel and act differently than the opponents.

Computing Services Announces Some Technicalities of Email Client Shift, Fails to Address the Future of Flitzing

In a move widely recognized as the largest cultural shift to Dartmouth since coeducation, Computing Services announced today that it will replace the 20+-year-old proprietary email client, BlitzMail, with a brand-new Microsoft prototype email client. The email, which was sent to all students, faculty, and staff, contained such unimportant details as the timeline for the transition, a conspicuously vague reference to the reasons for the choice of Microsoft over Google, and offers for help for those struggling with the transition. The email did not, however, address the only thing that students care about: the future of flitzing.
