When you think of James Bond movies, character depth and acting quality aren't exactly the first things that come to mind. Most audiences just look for adherence to the formula: action, gorgeous women, a crazy villain, gadgets, exotic locations and some naughty puns.
Before the expected plot-driven narrative of Milos Forman's "Man on the Moon" starts, Jim Carrey -- completely in character as comic genius Andy Kaufman -- steps onto the screen and speaks directly to the audience. He insists that everyone should go home, because he expects that the movie they are about to watch will be boring.
Thanksgiving is Thursday. Out of all the major secular American holidays, Thanksgiving used to be my least favorite. For me, Thanksgiving had always been like those big couches in Sanborn -- drab, stuffy, and it puts you to sleep. Since I've started college, however, Thanksgiving has been more than just a chance to bulk up my tryptophan-intake while making useless small-talk with distant relatives over cold mashed potatoes, it's been a much needed respite from my busy Dartmouth schedule and a chance to spend time with friends and family back home. So let this column stand as my tribute to Thanksgiving, let this be the platter that I bring to the table, a veritable cornucopia overflowing not with corn, squash, and pumpkin, but with quips, ideas, and inane ramblings.
Students driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs does not seem to be a major problem at Dartmouth compared to some other rural schools, such as Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y.
Students who have been convicted of possession or sale of illegal drugs will be restricted from receiving federal loans or scholarships to finance their college education, according to a new U.S. Department of Education policy.
Brad Russo '01, a 19-year-old government and economics double major from Stoughton, Mass., will be the next president of The Dartmouth, the current editorial board announced Friday.
While administrators at colleges that have changed or eliminated their Greek systems say such changes have resulted in lower risk and well-monitored alcohol consumption, some students claim the changes have simply moved alcohol use into the dorms and off-campus.
Office of Student Life Intern and outspoken opponent of the Greek system Ben Berk '00 is organizing and moderating a panel of six undergraduates that will present views on the Trustee Initiative to an Alumni Council sub-committee on December 2.
Three days after women's soccer head coach Kelly Blasius Knudsen '91 announced her resignation from the Big Green soccer team, the Athletic Department launched a search for her replacement as players continue to reflect on the impact her departure will have on future seasons.
It's that time of year again. Snow is falling outside your window. Jack Frost is doing his thing. The football team only has one game left to play.
As senior fall draws to a close I, like many other seniors, am beginning to think about my future. Actually, the more correct term would be that I am beginning to panic about my future. Due to what Career Services would probably define as a "genetic abnormality," I am not participating in corporate recruiting. Instead, I have decided to pursue a career in journalism, or what my parent's refer to as "starving."
I find it interesting that the National Association of College Stores is suing the online bookstore, Varsitybooks.com. The claim of the Association's lawyer is that, " students are being misled regarding [the discounts on books]." The misleading statement in question is Varsitybooks claim that students may save up to 40 percent off "suggested list prices."
We live in a very media-saturated world. From magazines and newspapers to television and the Internet, the American public enjoys a 24-hour news cycle and constant access to what is going on in the world around us, particularly in the realm of politics. Few would refute the contention that the media influences the political agenda in this country. Furthermore, the crammed nature of the presidential primary season can be attributed to the role of the media keeping the public informed about presidential candidates.
In a letter to the community dated November 15, 1999 dealing with recent incidents of anti-Semitism, Dean of the College James A. Larimore assured us that "...the College will follow its own rules of due process in pursuing any disciplinary action and will diligently work to ensure that the process is fair." I truly hope that that is the case, because the next few paragraphs will describe to you a recent disciplinary action in which the College did not follow those rules and which was decidedly less than fair.
As my first term in college draws to a rapidly approaching close, I'm compelled to look back at the past few months and try to piece together as best I can what the heck it was all about. (Oh yeah, this is also a convenient cop-out--who really wants to have to carry one coherent thought all the way through a column?) So, without further ado, some random thoughts from the mind of a first-term freshman. (Please remember that I am a freshman, and accordingly you can take most of this with a shaker full of salt.)
The Winter Carnival Council is already planning for this winter's big weekend and has selected the theme "Lest the Cold Traditions Fail" for the event set to begin February 10.

In an age where e-commerce is rapidly replacing many traditional methods of conducting business, the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration has incorporated this trend into their curriculum through the introduction of classes, projects and examples that revolve around the relatively new field.
