Yet another season of the NHL is upon us after what seems like an incredibly short summer.
When you do what you are supposed to do, you succeed. In soccer, that means the offense scores goals and the defense keeps the ball away.
To the Editor:
According to the Bible, in the beginning God brought every living creature to Adam and whatever Adam called it, "that was the name thereof." Apparently, God gave this power to the Trustees too.
I'm a senior now. In theory, I guess that makes me the one who should have the wisdom, the words of advice that I am able to impart on the younger members of the Dartmouth community. In reality, although I can tell you what classes I think you should take, I am still essentially clueless about a great many things.
Nine new free-standing "Code Blue" emergency phones are being installed throughout campus this term, with plans to install up to 40 more over the next several years.
While many other universities offer students competitive corporate rates for long distance telephone calls, DarTalk, the College's telephone service, charges several cents higher than average corporate rates, much to the continuing complaints of many students.
As applications for the Class of 2004 begin to filter into the admissions office, three members of the Class of 1999 -- in keeping with a long history of alumni serving as admissions officers -- will play a role in selecting Dartmouth's newest students.
With a record number of women rushing sororities this fall and a moratorium from the College preventing the creation of a seventh Panhellenic sorority, the six remaining houses were unable to offer bids to everyone during the fall sorority rush process which nears completion this week.
Debates over relocating the traditional sites of both the Dartmouth Outing Club headquarters and the baseball field dominated much of yesterday's presentation by Centerbrook Architects of their plans for the College's new recreational and athletic facilities.
You know those moments in the Dracula films when our anti-hero reveals himself to be the sensitive sort, none too thrilled with boring holes into folks' necks for a living? How about when he mourns his inclusion in the living undead and yearns for sunlight and Winona Ryder?
I simply cannot get over the fact that I'm a student at Dartmouth College. I've been here for over a year now, but I still get chills when I hear the Alma Mater played on the Baker bells at 6 p.m. I hear a lot of people complaining about life here, but, personally, college is everything I've ever wanted and then some. The general population (myself included) is quick to criticize, and certainly it's worthwhile to challenge things and try to make them better. However, I think it's equally worthwhile to take a moment to appreciate how lucky we are. I've never experienced such an accepting, dynamic community as the one I find at Dartmouth.
Sometimes I really feel like I am still an adolescent, and not just because I routinely show the maturity level of fabric softener. There are other reasons. For instance, I swore a while back that I would absolutely never, under any circumstances, ever, purchase another video game, ever. Boy, did this quickly prove to be a lie. (I was six.)
Well, as this right-wing, 12th century, fascist columnist -- that is, according to one of his most ardent fans -- was ruminating on the topic of his next column a little flap in NY arose which he could hardly resist commenting upon. Of course I speak of the whole Brooklyn Museum of Art imbroglio. It seems that real art was in short supply and so the museum had to settle for second best, a show entitled Sensation. And boy, what a sensation it is! From a Virgin Mary covered with pornographic pictures to the picture of a child-murderer painted with a child's handprints to a rotting cow's head complete with maggots, the exhibit has much to tease and tingle the senses. Then entered the bad-guy, party-pooper, Mayor Giuliani. The Museum gets funds from NY City. Mayor Giuliani was not amused. He thinks the stuff is not art and argues that the portrait of the Virgin Mary is offensive. So he threatened to cut city funding to the museum if the exhibit went on. The museum refused to stop the exhibit. Giuliani didn't balk and stopped the funding. Though in fairness to Giuliani he argues that the real reason the funding is being cut is because the museum violated terms of an agreement with the city by hosting an exhibit which charges an entrance fee.
By now, every member of the Dartmouth community should have received a letter from me regarding the upcoming town meetings with the presidential candidates on October 27 and 28, 1999. Some people have inquired about the possibility of changing the venue to a space that will accommodate more people or have raised questions about the procedures the Rockefeller Center will use to select the audience. In the interests of avoiding misunderstanding, let me address each of these concerns.
