Returning home in a loaded car for what would probably be the last three-week Christmas vacation of my life, I couldn't help but reflect on my experiences here at Dartmouth and wonder if I would have done anything differently, given what I know now. I suppose this is a common act of nostalgia for seniors at any university, but it is, nevertheless, a personal and sometimes painful moment of self-examination. After a few minutes of this sappy nostalgia, however, I thankfully decided to direct my mind elsewhere and began a one-sided conversation with my dog, who proved surprisingly receptive as we settled down for the long drive back to Virginia.

We live in a sports world where numbers have replaced names as the main components of the annals of history. It is a world where memories of glory have been reduced to spreadsheets and arguments of greatness to calculator printouts. 70 -- Mark McGwire, home runs. 100 -- Wilt Chamberlain, points. 6,279.

Al Gore, the incumbent Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate, is running from his home in D.C. and moving his national campaign headquarters down to Nashville, Tenn. Some spinsters are calling this move a return to Gore's "roots," and perhaps he is looking to rejuvenate his campaign and nurture it through the primaries with the help of some southern charm in Tennessee. While Gore does enjoy a winning record for campaigns he has run in Tennessee, this is more likely a strong foreshadowing of what could lie ahead when the votes are tallied in 2000 -- the end of Al Gore's Washington career.

This is the true story true story of a thousand people picked to live together at a college to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start being real." Does this introduction sound ghastly familiar to you? If so, don't be ashamed that you have spent countless hours of your teenage years in front of your television living vicariously through the antics, romances and habits of our society's sub-culture on MTV. For one thing, you are certainly not alone if you have. Instead, be glad and fortunate of your past television choices because they now relate to your life in ways you probably never dreamed of. We have just stepped into our own version of "The Real World" as Dartmouth freshmen.

When Dartmouth Film Society co-founder and screenwriting professor Maury Rapf was offered to design the fall DFS series by the very organization he helped build, his simple intention--to select a fluid compilation of the best the medium has to offer--must have seemed increasingly monumental once he began composing the actual list. Countless film critics, contrarians and other big talkers have ventured the "Best Of" cliff-jump in the hopes of casting familiar classics and overlooked gems in new critical light. Due to the impossibility of selection perfection, choosing favorite sons and daughters out of masterpieces must be a bit of a pain, unless compulsive list-making is your sort of vice.

I think growing up in a small, rural town does not dispose one to relish the environment of New York City. Its furious pace, dirty streets and extinction of common courtesy would leave many a novitiate frustrated and disillusioned, regardless of past experience. However, there is something there that invites our curiosity and commands our praise.
