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.

"Sir, you may destroy this little institution; it is weak; it is in your hands! I know it is one of the lesser lights on the literary horizon of this country. You may put it out. But if you do so, you must carry through with your work! You must extinguish, one after the other, all those great lights of which for more than a century have thrown their radiance over the land. It is, Sir, as I have said, a small college. And yet, there are those who love it."

When first-year students arrive at the College, they will find themselves in the footsteps of 229 generations of first-year students who came before them, who each defined a little more the special quality of Dartmouth with memories, academics and of course, traditions.

I am a victim of hate. Returning to my dorm on what was supposed to be a festive Green Key Saturday (I was admittedly inebriated after several rounds of herbal tea at the Green Bean Cafe) I stumbled onto a cesspool of hatred. High and proud there hangs a bumper sticker on my door, proclaiming to all, "The Indian Will Never Die." Yet, on this fateful night, I saw my harmless sticker defaced, the words "Die, Die" scrawled on it with MY dry-erase marker. As if that wasn't enough, a (rather poor) attempt was made to tear the sticker off.

If I could say one thing to Dean Nelson, it would be, "Hey, I like your beard." If I could say two things, the first would be regarding the beard, and the second would be, "For the love of Christ! Don't lock the doors!"

In recent issues of The Dartmouth, the topic of race has been in the spotlight and, along with it, a term which is not very popular around here, racism. Racism is a problem that exists in this community. We must do something now to fix this problem, and to prevent racist activities from happening ever again.

This Thursday night, 100 students plan to sleep out in cardboard shelters on Baker lawn. With temperatures dropping and our first snowfall this week, you're probably curious about why we will be doing such a thing. The sleep-out, as well as the movie and discussion that will precede it, is one of a number of events being held this week in conjunction with National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.

I don't really like soda or pop or soda pop or fizz or whatever it's called. I prefer my carbonated beverages to have a little more hop in them (and barley, and yeast). But some people are passionate about their Pepsi and choleric about their Coke, and I respect that.

If, for some inexplicable reason, I was held at gunpoint and ordered to name the one person from late 1980s network television that I admired most, I would say Doogie Howser. My first thought would probably be, "Why is the guy with the gun asking me this?" but my second thought would definitely be about everyone's favorite teenage doctor.

Tomorrow is the Homecoming game, and I hope you all are as excited as I am! Actually, based on my previous football game experiences here, some of us are probably a little too excited. Therefore, I would like to offer some advice for those of us not able to keep our football enthusiasm in our respective pants.
