WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY

Dinertoure!
On one lonely wintry day in 1769, Eleazar Wheelock stumbled through the ice and sleet, desperate for some respite from the biting cold. In the distance he saw a sign - "what can  this be?" he muttered to himself, "doth at last mine eyes deceive me?" He cautiously approached and squinted as he discerned "bakery soda fountain counter service." Then old Eleazar nearly fainted with excitement, for before him was the holy grail of adventurers long deceased - oh how Christopher Columbus, Juan Ponce de Leon, and Henry Hudson had longed to be in his footsteps, for he, Eleazar Wheelock, had discovered the Four Aces Diner.
Wheelock then founded Dartmouth College on a direct path from this sacred place and for over two centuries, Dartmouth pupils have made the pilgrimage to Four Aces to celebrate the legacy of their great academic institution.
Meet behind Robo at 6:30 AM for the most important meal of your day/life. Back by 9Ls.
Space is limited, so you must blitz back ASAP if you want a spot!
The ride is free, bring small bills.

The Feed!
Ladies and gentle-folk, welcome to the first feed of the term. As the fall chill sets in on Hanover, bring your beautiful selves to the Rock at 7:00 on Wednesday to dine, make merry, and wax existential on the finer points of life. The (tentative) menu, to tempt your palate, consists of:
* Fresh basil, tomato, and mozzarella pasta,
* Corn on the cob, and
* Red velvet cake.
Bring yourself, bring your friends. 17s eat free.
