Right now all of the talk on campus is focused on Summer Term's big weekend: Fieldstock. Fieldstock is a newer tradition that was started four year ago. (Before we had Tubestock, which involved events on the river, but safety regulations and NH state law killed it...RIP.) As a sophomore I've been anticipating this event for all of Sophomore Summer.
So what happens during Fieldstock? Teams sign up to compete in a sort of mini-Olympics that consists of all sorts of crazy events. There is a "flair"** showcase (note the Dartmouth Vocab lesson below), an eating competition, an obstacle course, and many other team events. The highlight of all of the events is the Human Chariot Race. After all of the competitions the team with the most points is awarded. Throughout the weekend there will be many live student performances, parties, BBQs, and I've even heard rumor of a mechanical bull!
Next week, we will be sure to follow up with a re-cap of the weekend! TO BE CONTINUED....
