If you're ever in a bookstore and start browsing through "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb and you make it past the first four pages, here's some free advice: Give up browsing and just buy the book.
"Men In Black" was on the cover of Newsweek before it opened. The Will Smith single from the film had already been in heavy rotation on MTV for weeks. Next to the new Batman, MiB has been the most heavily advertised and talked about of the big summer movies.
His closet is a sea of gray, but the predominant color of his wardrobe reflects little of Seth Newsome's life. Standing in at 6'4", the guard with the oh-so-sweet outside shot will be the only returning '99 on the men's basketball team this coming year.
One of the issues that I have found causes the greatest volume of debate among students at Dartmouth is affinity housing. Dartmouth currently has housing for African Americans, Asian Americans and Native Americans, among other minority groups. There is even an affinity house for those interested in communal living and one for those who can't stand to be around alcohol. All of these groups have been recognized as having special problems that the Dartmouth community was not fit to handle. Those in charge of the College, who seem intent on giving liberalism a worse name, are adept at talking out of both sides of their mouths on this issue. On one hand, they complain that Dartmouth isn't an inclusive community and implicitly blame the majority, especially the big, bad Greek system. On the other hand, they allow any constituency that has political power and claims to have a problem adjusting to separate themselves even further.

Let's face it -- there's nothing quite like rollerblading. Although many people are frightened by crazy rollerbladers, I think that we should take kindly to this popular sport and its participants. Even those neophyte kamikaze bladers deserve a chance to roll down the roads, a chance to liberate themselves from the highly over-rated, mundane experience of walking.
New and popular recreational sports, such as rollerblading, inevitably bring with them a number of beginners. Beginners who are insanely out of control on this campus. They have the expensive skates and the snazzy shirts that claim, "rollerbladers have NO FEAR." Well, for myself and a few others on campus, I tend to have a whole heck of a lot of fear. You've seen them around, the people with the butt-padded-spandex, helmets that can withstand a two ton impact and the rest of the assorted body armor on nearly every other part of their body. I'm not saying safety gear is not a good idea, just that when you are doing something that requires you to gear up to the point that you're nearly bullet proof, there might be safer alternatives. Knees knocking, arms flailing, legs splitting, these amateurs (soon to be professionals) can get ludicrously out of control.
Just a few nights before I returned to sunny Hanover to spend my entire summer entrenched in the quagmire of academia, I was fortunate enough to be privy to something that I found both odd and quite normal at the same time. It was only odd because I had never noticed the phenomenon first-hand prior to then, but at the same time it was logically consistent with what I had come to accept as fact while growing up in the city. What occurred was a simple act of neglect; a taxicab driver refused to pick up a group of passengers after letting me off near a train station at around 2:00 in the morning. It also should be noted that the would-be passengers involved were a family of four.
