With the exception of such classic maneuvers as challenging one's nemesis to a duel, perhaps no social weapon has gained quite as much currency on campus as accusing someone of having just performed a "self-call." Though it is perhaps now past its prime -- like the Eminem of pejorative exclamations -- I think that the phenomenon of self-calling, and more importantly the phenomenon of calling out self-calls, nonetheless deserves a turn under the dissection glass.

I remember when $100 was a lot of money. Many years ago, I recall watching a show hosted by that consummate entertainer Bozo the Clown. He selected small children, chosen by a random number draw, who faced the Herculean task of tossing ping pong balls into increasingly distant "Bozo Buckets." Any child who could sink all six buckets earned a crisp $100 bill. I recall, at the time, pining for that $100 -- the countless packs of Fruit Stripe gum I could have purchased! Oh, how devoted I was to those sticks of terrible gum -- my happysticks, I could have called them.

In between Carnival, V-Day and the down time between rounds one and two of midterms, I'd reckon that most of you have felt the need to let loose at least once.

I would like to be "study buddies" with everyone on campus. Of course, I don't mean that I want to take you all out of a bottle I stole from some poor kid with Attention Deficit Disorder, chop you to powder in a third floor Berry library bathroom and snort you through a straw.

I should lay my cards on the table straightaway: I think I am a fan of Safety and Security. And instead of meting out the usual dose of punishment, I'm going to take some space to, in a mildly twisted way, give them a thank you.

Here are some lies about the Dartmouth Bubble: it's a microcosm of the real world; it's the natural result of being out in the middle of nowhere; it is one of many bubbles in God's champagne; it's an optical illusion caused by refraction of a thinning, viscous and soapy membrane.

I know what you do in the shower. Well, maybe not in the shower -- you might do it alone in your room, or, if you're really visual, in front of a mirror. Don't let the fact that I know stop you from doing it -- and don't feel guilty either. I do it perhaps more than you do, and I don't feel guilty. It is a natural thing, and probably a healthy one (so long as you don't do it too frequently).

We sure could have used Captain Planet this past year. 2005 was a year with some big problems, and a green-haired crusader for conservation and personal strength might have been able to help with all of them. Some of these problems seemed tailor-made for the Captain -- the tsunami that devastated Southeast Asia, the landslide, the earthquake and a couple of pretty terrible hurricanes all would have benefited from someone who can control water, wind and fire. Not to mention someone who stops bad guys who like to loot and plunder.

Without doubt, Homecoming is a time to remember and cherish the traditions which have made Dartmouth great. Some people might go so far as to say that this is the essence of Homecoming -- they are almost right. Homecoming is indeed about remembering traditions -- even more than a time to remember, however, Homecoming is a time to misremember the traditions that made Imaginary Nostalgia College really really great.

This week has been perhaps the most dramatic in recent history. Or so it must seem for those loyal readers of The D's opinion section.

I'm a bad Dartmouth student. I don't mean that in the mid-80's way, like I ride a chopper with no helmet and wear a studded leather jacket with "Raw-HOG" emblazoned on the back. No, I mean that in the same way I tell people that I'm a bad Texan -- I just don't jive with a lot of the stereotypes.

Over 12,000 of America's brightest high school seniors and budding alcoholics turned in applications to Dartmouth this fall. The question is: why?

It's winter in Hanover again, and for all of us trapped in the tumultuous midsection of our D-Plans, this means any of our more prudent, fortunate and survival-minded friends are gone. Some are even so fortunate as to be on off-campus programs, enjoying the cosmopolitan flavors of Morocco, Mexico and Middle America (this refers to, of course, our less-popular exchange program with Southern Illinois State School of Agribusiness, or SISSA-swap program).

Dartmouth lost a valuable employee and a fierce patron of the arts in Georgia Croft, 65, who died in her home Saturday after a year and a half-long battle with lung cancer.

Dartmouth takes pride in its wireless Ethernet network. It's fast, it works all around campus and it gives students instant access to the World Wide Web, campus servers and, of course, BlitzMail. Unfortunately, these privileges only extend to students on campus. In the past, students living off campus have been forced to use an agonizingly slow dial-up service for all their Internet needs.

The age of "Girls can't do science" is gone, relegated almost entirely to mockery on poorly written sitcoms. Nonetheless, a lot of majors remain dominated by a single sex, both numerically and in spirit.

Editor's note: This is the sixth in a series of articles chronicling the New Hampshire congressional campaigns.

In response to a student petition calling for diversification of the music major, the department has scheduled a forum on Nov. 6 between faculty and students and is arranging an online forum for discussion about the music department.

A recent report released by the Association of American Colleges and Universities suggests that American schools need to remove the "artificial division" between liberal arts and pre-professional studies.
