Independent Studies Are For Schmoozers

By Katie Shutzer | January 26, 1996

It's three weeks into the term and many of us are plagued by what Dartmouth professors affectionately call the "midterm." Midterms are a funny thing here though, there are in-class midterms, take-home midterms, and even combination midterms.

By Rajat Soni | January 23, 1996

To the Editor: Reading the column, "Are You High Maintenance?" by Katie Shutzer '96 [Jan. 19] gave me an unnerving feeling that someone was once again perpetuating a stereotype that people on this campus really espouse such skewed elitist views. As a member of the low maintenance group, I have to say that just because I get my hair cut at Walt & Ernie's does not mean I am unhygienic.
