Where's Keggy? Dartmouth's unofficial favorite mascot hasn't been seen lately, but that should change soon. His keepers—the new editors of the campus humor magazine the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantem—promise the walking beer keg will be out and about more this year. Michael Gillis '12 (a former DAM intern) and Kenny Baclawski '12, who now lead the 103-year-old publication, have ambitious plans: They've launched a new website (www.dartmouth.edu/~jacko/v2), recently published a fake edition of The Dartmouth and plan to develop a new alumni network called Jacko USA. The idea is to have former writers submit new humor to the website. Gillis and Baclawski were among several students who met with Commencement speaker Conan O'Brien when he was on campus in June. The late-night talk show host advised them to not get overconfident about breaking into the comedy business just because they'll have Ivy League diplomas. "Have some humility about it," he cautioned.
