From the story:
What’s coming up at Rocky?
The biggest thing for the United States, and probably the world, is the presidential contest. We’ve invited all the presidential primary contenders, from Trump on down, and we’ll probably squeeze in a few before the primary. A lot has changed over the years.
And it ends with this . . .
As a linebacker coached by Buddy Teevens ’79, what did you learn from him?
Character. Hard work. Two things that I think are ultra-important are persistence and patience. There have been many moments where I can say that I’m a better person because I was coached by him. He understood what it was like to have been a Dartmouth student, and that scholar-athletes are scholars first.
Barabas, listed at 6-foot, 216 pounds, came to Dartmouth from Glenbard West High School and Glen Ellyn, Ill., and lettered in 1991 and '92.

EXTRA POINT
Every year I hammer an LL Bean snow stick into the ground so we can see exactly how much accumulation we've gotten at a glance. It's a reminder of how little snow we've gotten this year that when I woke this morning to see the white stuff piling up it occurred to me for the first time that I hadn't brought out the snow stick. It's coming down pretty good right now and I guess I'll have to go about measuring it the old-fashioned way and go out with a ruler or, hopefully, a yardstick.
