Don't look for a two-hour rally to replace the annual Alpha Delta fraternity lawn party or a protest march to the Green to start off this big weekend.
It's that time of the year again. Snow and cold winter weather are distant memories, the sun is out, the grass is growing (or at least it has been planted) and the campus is ready to celebrate.
If the Big Green softball team was pleased with their youthful squad's record-setting 18-27 1999 campaign, they only have reason to believe that things will improve next season as the Ivy League honored five of their players yesterday.
To the Editor:
We are in the middle of what might come to be remembered as one of the most turbulent times in Dartmouth history, one of diverging student interests, and a widening gap between those associated with one group or another. But over spring break, Dartmouth students representing a wide variety of campus affiliations had one thing in common, a service-oriented experience. Two of the most publicized spring break trips were the Jacksonville trip and the Jamaica immersion program. We were lucky enough to go on the Aquinas House-sponsored trip to Brooklyn.
After the events of this weekend, I believeI have found a way to combine the forces of good and evil into one amazingly beautiful, awesome event. Specifically, I would love to bombard the wasteland known as Kiewit with jars of a most divine sandwich-spread, peanut butter.

Despite the recent sunshine and warm weather, Hanover is, unfortunately, still located in New Hampshire and not in the balmy Caribbean. The World Music Percussion Ensemble, however, promises to transport its audience to the islands in a concert tomorrow.
From the perspective of professional ethics, the reporter's conduct, as described by Jen Whitcomb, is doubly unfortunate. First, because it is blatantly deceptive. The ad is misleading and creates false expectations in the respondent - all so that the reporter can get a good story. This is a sad way to convey to college students the ethics of at least one practitioner of an important profession. Unfortunately, this reporter is not alone in her use of deception in research. I have heard esteemed colleagues at Dartmouth and elsewhere defend deceptive social science research as the "only way" to gain important information. This is one source of the pervasive mistrust faced by scientific researchers - and journalists - today.
Sure, the money caught my eye. The ad in the classifieds under "Miscellaneous" shouts in bold letters, "$35,000 for your eggs." Flip the page and look - it's still there. But here's a secret - it's bogus! Two days after leaving my name and number on an answering machine, my phone rang, and I found myself talking with a reporter. It turns out there is no "loving, childless couple" as the ad professes. Rather, the ad is a front, written by the reporter to sound as authentic as possible so women would call her 1-800 number and unwittingly deliver themselves as perfect interviewees through relatively little effort on her part.
Hello, my name is Robert and I am a drug addict. Actually, just kidding. But now that I finished my bio exam in one more or less intact piece, I must say that that Vivarin stuff is bad news. On my honor I swear I am never taking it again, at least until my next exam rolls around.
This past weekend I got to re-view Dartmouth through 'shmen eyes. Last Wednesday, my sister, who is a member of the incoming class of 2003, came up to visit me. She was here for four days and during that time I was able to re-experience Dartmouth through the eyes of someone who is experiencing it all for the first time. When she first arrived I opened the door to find her bending under the weight of a thirty pound backpack and a duffel bag the length of my room. Interestingly, although she brought three dresses, eight pairs of pants and 22 tank tops, the need for a towel, shorts or toothpaste never crossed her mind. Furthermore, not only did she bring over 20 outfits for four days, but she somehow managed to wear all of these clothes and over half of mine.

Severed negotiations between Dartmouth College and a group of Hanover residents protesting the Chase Field athletic complex may delay its construction for months and possibly years.
