To the Editor:
When this whole thing crashed down over our shoulders last February, I was truly angry -- for a few days. When all the initial hubbub subsided and I became caught up in thesis-writing, life decisions, and senior year, I admittedly assumed that somebody else would take care of it, or that it would just take care of itself.
I cried into my soup yesterday as I sat in Collis reading The Dartmouth. The story was easily overlooked, hidden on the third page, in the National Briefs section. It was just a short clip from the Associated Press about a student named Jason Greco from Rutgers University who died early on Monday morning. Jason was 20 years old, my age, a third-year engineering student, and a member of a fraternity. He fell down a flight of stairs after a night of drinking last Thursday, and was declared clinically dead on Sunday. The decision to take him off life support was made soon thereafter.
My head was groggy from a day packed with 10As, 2As, and x-hours, but my ears perked up when I heard that terrible word. I shook myself out of the mid-afternoon funk, and proceeded to listen on the conversation heating up amongst the members of my Geography class. People were chiming in on all sides, sharing their horror stories. "When did you first get it?," "Who sent it to you?," "How many games have you played?" or "I've beaten my own high score 100 times." That's right. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Snood. Everyone is talking about it. There's even a web page of it. It's becoming a campus-wide addiction that even leaves BlitzMail powerless That's right, you don't even get the notification of new messages until after you finish a game of Snood.
