There is a poetry to names of place; it strikes us from time to time. The components that make a particular place name memorable are not susceptible to exact definition, but that Jeanne sequoia cannot be denied. A heady mix of verbal rhythm, encrusted cultural perception, and the unfathomability of linguistic connotation imparts a magic to these names.
In his column on Friday Marc Yasuda '98 responded to my previous column, concerning how '98s are going to get short-changed in the awarding of honors when they graduate because of the new distributive requirements for their class. What was fascinating about Yasuda's response was how he attacked me for being a "grade grubber" -- someone who cares too much about their GPA and not enough about learning. Mr. Yasuda's main point was really that grades don't matter, and one shouldn't be concerned with them.
C and P (Carolyn Wachsman '99 and Polina Globerman '99) point to some real problems and contradictions with the sorority rush system, and more generally with the single-sex Greek system at Dartmouth. However, they (like most people who write about the Greek system), ignore the existence of coed houses within this system. In doing so, I believe, they ignore a potential solution to the issues that they raise.

The Big Green men's hockey team opens its 1996-97 campaign on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. at Thompson Arena with an exhibition game against the University of Ottwa. With 22 returning letterwinners from a squad that finished last season at 7-20-3, the Big Green has high aspirations for this year.
After five weeks of play, the Big Green find themselves right where they expected to be heading into the season. They are off to a 5-0 start, the team's best start in 25 years, and are 2-0 in the Ivy League for the first time in Head Coach John Lyons' five years at Dartmouth.
The women's tennis team suffered only its second loss of the fall season to Boston College Wednesday, 6-3. After moving indoors to what Coach Chris Kerr called "pathetic facilities,." B.C. swept the Big Green 3-0 in the doubles matches.
Since I arrived at Dartmouth, I have been asked the question, "What is your major?" more times than I care to remember. This comes from upper and underclassmen alike. It comes from people who have wanted to be a doctor since fifth grade, and it comes from those who were born into the legal profession.
While you were munching on your Harold Burgers in Food Court this fall, I'd wager you were unaware that quietly but staunchly, a war was raging under your nose, a food fight of the cleanest kind. On the bulletin board behind the Food Court trays, Jake O'Shea '97 has been staging a comment card campaign in valiant defense of that which has been described by another as "your friend" and "the thing that comforts you when your girlfriend dumps you." Naturally only one thing could leap to mind. That's right, the old fries.
I suppose it is possible one could go through Dartmouth College and spend four years camped out in the stacks only in pursuit of recognition and a cum laude sticker on their diploma. But of course, I suppose it is possible one could spend $120,000 on sour milk, too. In response to Wednesday's misguided article by Aaron Klein titled, "'98s Just As Smart," in which he vehemently grieves about the '98's getting "screwed as a class in terms of GPA awards like cum laude, magna cum laude, suma cum laude and phi beta kappa," I feel compelled to just as vehemently grieve over Klein's sentiments.
Every ten years or so, Dartmouth students, running out of more important things to worry about, set out to find a new school mascot. It happened in 1973 and 1984. So, since there are clearly no major social issues out there about which we should be concerned right now, here we go again in '96. Whee! Go, team.
