Halfway through the movie "G.I. Jane," two trainee Navy SEALs are going through their first battle simulation in approaching a concealed enemy outpost which may or may not be occupied.
This past weekend, while journeying to Montreal, I was struck by a strange yet logical thought: if there's this country bordering the U.S. with a drinking age of 18 or 19 (depending on the province) compared to the U.S.'s 21, shouldn't there be a sizable temporary flow of 19- and 20-year-old Americans to Canada? Just as Mexican migrant workers cross the U.S. border illegally because of the WAGE differential, might not migrant college students cross over to Canada to exploit the drinking AGE differential?
As I read through Eric Del Pozo's "Some Words on Words ..." [The Dartmouth, August 8, 1997] I couldn't help but feel proud as he intoned the emotional power of language, of the myriad complexities it presents to us. While parts of his argument are resonant, I feel that his definition of "language" comes up somewhat short. Del Pozo's statement that "Organic chemistry has never made anyone feel anything besides sleep deprivation" certainly seems a "groundless attack ... for myopic comedic value," but more importantly reflects a misunderstanding at its core -- he sings only the praises of verbal language. True, there exists a proclivity in our culture toward equating language with words, but this association, while seductive, is tenuous at best. Conversely, John Garber's well-informed response [The Dartmouth, August 12, 1997] touches on the fact that the symbols and terminology used to illuminate chemical reactions are considered universal, therefore functioning as a language in its own right. I would like to expand this notion.

Oliver Stone is a mouthpiece for the people who control the conspiracies. NASA is plotting to kill the President with an earthquake in Turkey. Jerry Garcia isn't dead, he is an English 007 spy returned home for retirement. And "Air Force One" just slipped to second in total box office receipts.
Dartmouth rowers, competing under the name of Dresden Rowing Club, headed north across the border last weekend and captured fourth place at the Royal Canadia Henley, the biggest crew race. The fourth-place finish in the 2,000-meter and 500-meter races for the men's lightweight eight made amends for a rather disappointing spring season.
The University of Pennsylvania has been tabbed as the preseason favorite to win the 1997 Ivy League Football title, according to a media poll of Ivy League writers. Dartmouth, who is rebuilding after last year's perfect season, came in third behind the Quakers and the Crimson of Harvard. The poll reflected the wide-open race as six of the eight teams received first-place votes.

Eric Del Pozo presents an interesting case for the joys of language, but the piece is riddled with illogical arguments and blatant inconsistencies ["Some Words on Words ...," The Dartmouth, August 8, 1997]. He argues that the world is "not an objective edifice, and should not be treated as such," yet a few lines later, makes the normative assertion that "works of literature, from Plato to Hemingway, are inherently more valuable than any scientific manual."
