The diehard reporter, the grassroots politician, the runaway wife, the wannabe starlets, the jaded celebrities and the average, middle-class, dysfunctional family. Sound familiar? The 1975 film "Nashville," directed by Robert Altman, is a "mockumentary" that plumbs these 1970s stereotypes to their very shallow depths.
If only the weather had been bad yesterday afternoon in Burlington, because then at least Vermont goaltender Mindy Vinelli could have blamed it on the rain for the beating the Big Green handed the Catamounts. After suffering through one of its most disappointing defeats of the season, the Big Green field hockey team rebounded in a big way by trashing Vermont, 5-2, in Burlington yesterday. The win put Dartmouth back over the .500 mark at 6-5 overall, 1-3 in the Ivy League.
Wins by Dartmouth and Penn made the Ivy League title race less cloudy as Princeton and Penn remain the only unbeaten teams in the Ancient Eight. Both the Tigers and Quakers are now 2-0 and could each be 4-0 in league play when they square off in three weeks.
The Big Green Equestrian Team rode away with the Reserve Championship at their first horse show on Saturday, in which they competed against twelve other colleges in the region. Dartmouth ended the day only five points behind reigning National Reserve Champions Colby-Sawyer College, thanks to strong performances from all team members.
On Monday, October 19, 1998, Mike Tyson won the biggest decision of his professional and personal career. Unlike many of his past victories, this one did not occur in the ring nor was it a spectacular knockout over a hapless opponent. Instead, Tyson went up against the media and all of his many critics and when the Nevada State Boxing Commission voted to reinstate his suspended boxing license, he beat all odds and stood the victor, as he has so often in his career but so rarely as of late. To this I have only one thing to say: It's about time.
In my last column, I digested the anti-Objectivist piece by Andrew Boldt. It's dinnertime now, and Hogan's article, "In Defense of Capitalism" [The Dartmouth, Oct. 9] is on the menu. Like Boldt, Hogan chooses to distort capitalism in order to refute it. It is my belief that one should present one's readers with the truth and then allow them to make a judgment. I will now present you with the truth. The truth ultimately needs no one to speak for it -- it speaks for itself, and you can discover what I have to say on your own -- but sometimes it needs a microphone. I am that microphone.
So I was thinking ... about social space. Maybe you noticed in last Wednesday's D, buried in an article about new iMacs for public terminals, that the Student Assembly passed a resolution to support a document written by two students on the state of our needs for more social spaces on campus ["SA to install 16 iMacs for Blitz use," Oct. 14]. This document is the result of tons of research and input gathering, and it utilizes student response to a BlitzMail survey administered last spring. Let me be clear, before I proceed, about the fact that I have no issues with the Student Assembly -- in fact it is an organization very near and dear to my heart. I respect its leadership and members tremendously, and I know that they work very hard for their organization and the campus.
After years of planning and some initial delays, the College has initiated an effort to separate its garbage into usable compost and actual trash.
Yale has Claire Danes, Princeton had Brooke Shields and Harvard had Matt Damon. But Dartmouth has Luke Perry, Sarah McLachlan and Anne Murray. In name, at least.
Stanford Lomakema, a Hopi elder, told an audience of about 70 people last night that the pressures of modern society often cause people to lose sight of their dreams.
The Student Assembly voted to approve a resolution at its meeting last night calling on the College to implement a final cable television plan by next Fall term.
Do you like Christmas? I mean, do you really like Christmas? So much so that you would buy an album which consisted entirely of Christmas music?
With eight wins and a tie in 10 games, the Dartmouth men's soccer team has experienced great success so far this season. A top-15 national ranking and their current position atop the Ivy League has fulfilled preseason prophecies of Championship contention. Heading down the home stretch, the Big Green had exhibited many reasons for optimism and a few for concern.
The Ivy League title is still up in the air, as is the Big Green women's soccer team's shot at the NCAA tournament, but give them credit for putting themselves in a position that almost any team in the nation would envy.
Bored to the point of illness from sitting in her house on Long Island and staring at the wallpaper (which, don't get me wrong, can be fun if combined with the correct substances) awhile ago my friend Elizabeth and I decided to go see a hockey game. There had been unconfirmed reports of hockey being played professionally out on Long Island, and Elizabeth and I were going to find it, if it took us all night! As long as "all night" lasted no longer than half an hour, and the tickets weren't more than $15 apiece.
I was up late last night. I was trying to write a paper on Joyce's "Dubliners" and I needed just the right synonym for "desolation." Unfortunately, I found it.
The College is searching for the perfect person. The College's religious leaders and community members are trying to find one individual of a strong religious faith who can relate to people of all faiths, who can administrate, relate to students and faculty and do all this in a visible, public manner. This person will be the new College Chaplain.
