Stop the Flood

Jon Eisenman of FreeDartmouth posted this on their weblog, but in an effort to spread it around to as many people as possible, I'm re-posting it here:

Stop the Flood!

I am attempting to construct an online levee in the face of this BuzzFlood stupidity. Because this is not a "public interest" issue, and is only a petition against the "non-violent expression of opinion" of another group, I can't host it on that online petition site. However, I would like to see this as widely circulated as possible, so Dartloggers, if you'd like to help with the effort, it's much appreciated.

We, the undersigned students and alumni of Dartmouth College, believe that BuzzFlood, an organization whose purpose is "to simply point out what's so special about Dartmouth College," is making a mockery of the College, its goals, and ideals.

If you're interested in amending or "signing" this statement, please blitz "stoptheflood@alum.dartmouth.org" with your name, class year, and any "amendment" you wish to propose. After I've amassed some number of blitz, I will post here once more, as well as blitz back to the respondents, with a final "amended" version of this statement. I will wait for those individuals to give their final assent, as well as accept new "signatories." I will then submit the names and the petition to The Dartmouth.

Re: BuzzFlood

"did you know the first female Native American in the Marine Corps was a Dartmouth Grad (Class of 2003)?"

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. I'm really proud of my degree now.

On another topic, does anyone else think that the new D layout is truly horrible?

BuzzFlood

I'm writing to you about a fascinating new student group that was formed this past sophomore summer. The "BuzzFlood" is dedicated to celebrating Dartmouth's excellence. Our goal is to tell Dartmouth's story and celebrate excellence at Dartmouth. Our College is, we believe, New England's and one of the nation's best kept secrets. By celebrating the Dartmouth tradition, we can enhance the Dartmouth experience for generations to come.

Over the summer, the "BuzzFlood" quickly grew to what is now one of the largest student groups at well over 200 members. For too long Dartmouth has been underappreciated and silent about its accomplishments. Our goal is to simply point out what's so special about Dartmouth College. "BuzzFlood" is sending out a periodic "BuzzLine" blitz that celebrates Dartmouth individuals in the news. For example, did you know the first female Native American in the Marine Corps was a Dartmouth Grad (Class of 2003)? Or did you know that Professor David Kang recently wrote an op-ed about the North Korean crisis in the New York Times? If you would like to join the 200+ members already receiving the "BuzzLine" blitz, simply reply to this message indicating your class and you will become a member!

For the many of you who are already members, please keep sending your stories of Dartmouth's excellence. You will also be receiving information about the launch of our new website (www.buzzflood.com) that will further our goal.

On behalf of BuzzFlood,

David Gardner '05

Preseason hockey polls...

...And the top of the pack in both is pretty much as expected.

On the men's side the coaches and media agree on the top four spots in the ECAC, with Harvard on top, followed by Cornell, Dartmouth, and Brown.

On the women's side, Dartmouth's the preseason pick to win the conference with 5 first place votes, followed by Harvard with 2 first place votes, and St. Lawrence comes in third with 2 first place votes.

Also, Hugh Jessiman and Cherie Piper were named to the pre-season All-ECAC teams.

Review Ejected from Freshman Media Fair

I figured our invitation to this evening's freshman media fair had been lost in the mail. After all, it was for campus media, the sign had no qualifiers, and I thought that it'd be good to expose the new kids to the full breadth of Dartmouth students' opinions and organizations. Since it was held in Collis--the STUDENT center--well...I thought they would like for us to show up. Not the case.

After about ten minutes of talking to freshmen and giving out Indian T-shirts, Linda Kennedy, head of COSO, approached and told me that I had to leave because the event was not for non-student groups. But oh, we are a student group. She countered: not for non-recognized student groups. After a civil ten minute back-and-forth, she issued her ultimatum: leave in five minutes, or Safety and Security will be called. Sure enough, ten minutes later, S&S showed up and explained that I had to leave the premises--or she would have "to take the next step." They refused to answer whether or not my promotion of the Review as an individual was protected by Dartmouth's committment to Freedom of Expression and Dissent. All were civil throughout, which makes the situation even more appalling.

And another year at the Review begins...

Or not

Ouch

The question coming into yesterday's opener against Colgate: Is the Dartmouth football team better on offense or better on defense? The trick answer coming out of a 31-9 loss: neither.
