There would be no dramatic finish. There would be no overtime. There was only an 11-goal run in the middle of yesterday's women's lacrosse game which allowed the Big Green to streak past the Greyhounds of Loyola and into the quarterfinals of the National Collegiate Women's Lacrosse tournament for the second consecutive year.

When it comes to Nintendo, I am a fan of your old school, Mario-esque adventure games; so last October when my roommate blessed our double with the original 8 bit NES, I quickly attached myself to Super Mario Bros. 3, Ducktales, and Metroid. (Metroid, alas, is only there to taunt me because it does not actually work. Several friends and I have employed all the childhood tricks we can recall for restoring a Nintendo cartridge to life but Metroid is dead to the world.)

I'm noticing a growing trend in American writing style that I find particularly disturbing, indeed almost as disturbing as the gospel singers in the Odor-Eaters commercial I just saw a minute ago. (I'll save my views on TV for another time, don't worry.) What I want to talk about right now is metaphors. Yes, metaphors have unfortunately reared their ugly head far too often in today's writing. Like a bad penny, they turn up even in Dartmouth literature. Observe the following sample, taken from a recent article in The Dartmouth:

It was thirty years ago today when a group of disgruntled Dartmouth students stormed Parkhurst Hall to protest what they perceived to be an unjust administration indifferent to their demands - but to those members of the Dartmouth community who participated in the event, it feels like it was only yesterday.

In translating any foreign piece of work the potential conflict always lies in attempting to translate as close to the text as possible without extracting the art from the art form. In "Medea," a Greek tragedy written by Euripides in the 5th century, this conflict is magnified; not only was "Medea" written in a foreign language, it was written for a culture quite different from our own.

In the late1980s, singer Rob Base explained, "It takes two to make things go right." Over the last two seasons, that mantra has held true for the goalkeeping success of the Dartmouth women's lacrosse team.

College students throughout the country indicate increasing disaffection and separation from social concerns. Every year, the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA surveys nearly 350,000 first year students at more than 650 colleges and universities. Their most recent findings reveal a lower level of political and social interest than at any time in the past 32 years. Just 26.7 percent of freshmen surveyed believe that "keeping up to date with political affairs" is an important life goal, compared with a high of 57.8 percent in 1966. Freshmen expressed similar disinterest in specific social issues. For example, only 19.4 percent of students said that "becoming involved in programs to clean up the environment" is an important life goal, down from a high of 33.6 percent in 1992. Only 31.8 percent believe that "helping to promote racial understanding" is an important goal, down from 42 percent in 1992. Likewise, the number of students expressing interest in community action programs and influencing social values has declined over the past decade.
