When considering topics for my column this week, I found myself wavering back-and-forth between a celebratory tribute to Bruce Springsteen on the one hand, and a discussion on the artistic merits of our new black-lit Green on the other. Ultimately, however, I decided to tackle the subject that has distracted my attention from those two weighty topics this week -- fraternity rush.

After writing to reschedule our interview several times, Brian Jacobs '02 finally had to speak to me between his rehearsals for Modern Madrigals and the Dodecaphonics. Actually, he combined dinner with his interview and chatted between bites. Jacobs is not different from your typical Dartmouth student who juggles a busy schedule of classes and extracurricular activities.

The Dartmouth's October 5 article, "Students plan for 2000 New Year's," suggested that many Dartmouth students are opting out of a big gala affair for new year's eve, and instead are planning a celebration on a smaller scale. Although not necessarily the most exciting way to spend New Year's Eve, hanging out in a basement this December, may be the wisest choice of all.

On the morning of September 9, 1999, I woke up at 3 a.m. after incessant poking on the part of my parents, stumbled blindly into the back seat of our rented van and forced my uncooperative eyelids to stay open so I could get just one last glimpse of my house.

There is a traitor among us, dear friends. Something watches passively from a shadow where the wall meets the ceiling and slithers its way into our bedrooms, our stomachs, our minds, and our Visa statements (I don't think it takes American Express). It buys property and forces us to eat DDS, all the while supplementing our meager (besides the Cordon Bleu) but costly (cranberry juice has gone up thirty cents since I was a freshman) Hop rations with intermittent Steak Bombs, Original Bricks, Egg and Cheese Subs, ramen noodles, Easy Cheese, and other less healthy dining experiments. It tells us to register our cars, abuse in moderation, climb through fraternity windows, drink watery orange juice in the morning, and gain 15 pounds freshman year. It makes us go to school in the summer. It buys property (hasta la vista to Jewel of India, Ramunto's, Happy Home, Crackhouse, et al.). It requires political correctness, and throws hyper-inflated fines around like monkeys eat bananas (hoohooheeheeHAAA). And that doesn't even touch the admissions process.
