There is something about a computer that inspires devotion.
"You are holding the future of the Macintosh in your hands."
It seemed that Apples were back in season after the introduction of the revolutionary iMac in 1998. But the computer market is a competitive one, and recently it's become clear that Apple will need to fight hard against trends if it doesn't want to turn into "apple sauce" as the industry moves forward.
Dartmouth has often marched to the beat of its own drummer when it comes to computers. The word "e-mail" has never been quite good enough for us -- instead we defy the rest of the English-speaking world and call it "BlitzMail."
Health Services has seen an upsurge in the number of reported cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea over the past six months, especially since the beginning of Fall term.
Women's rush concluded for the Panhellenic Council last night with bid acceptance night. From here, individual houses take over with their new members.
A large and lively crowd of just under a hundred watching in the Rockefeller Center largely agreed that Vice President Al Gore controlled the debate better than his opponent, Texas Governor George W. Bush, in last night's first presidential debate.
Social security, education and other issues playing a part in Campaign 2000 were the focus of a speech yesterday morning by the Republican National Committee Chairman Jim Nicholson to a group of about 60 members of the Dartmouth and Hanover communities.
Sales are slumping, and even Dartmouth has stopped recommending Macintosh computers over PCs to incoming students.
Vigo, best known for his work in "Ghostbusters 2," is a terrible thing to behold: 14 feet tall, with the horns of a goat, and flaming like the torch that destroys the darkness. I caught up with him in Gastronomo's, an internet caf in San Jose.
In case you didn't realize, let me tell you that the whole hockey world is holding its breath until Oct. 6. On that fateful day, the verdict will be released in the Marty McSorley trial, a verdict which could change the face of hockey.
In a week filled mostly by non-league play, Cornell moved into a tie with the Princeton Tigers for first place in the Ancient Eight with a 3-0 League record. Princeton fell for the first time this season to number one-ranked Maryland.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The Dartmouth women's tennis team visited Harvard this weekend for the Harvard Invitational, and turned a few heads.
When you're hot, you're hot. Jero Esteve '03, who shot even par at the Toski Men's Golf Invitational in Amherst, Mass., was hot on the links.
Last spring when I saw the Transformers movie (yes, put this one alongside Vanilla Ice's "Cool as Ice" and GI Joe for retro Gen X-er appeal), I had no idea I would be using it as a bad way to start off this opinion article. At the time, I also wasn't really thinking about nationalism or anything American at all. Yes, I was more concerned with the endless war between Optimus Prime, the Autobots and the feared Decepticons.
In rowing there exists a collegiate tradition of awarding shirts to the winner of the race. After the boats are out of the water, and the competitors have caught their breath, the loser approaches the winner, finds the man who rowed opposite him, hands him his shirt and shakes his hand. It is a recognition that your foe has trained hard like you, has sacrificed like you, has wanted to win like you and that, on a another day, the result might be reversed. This tradition may seem ridiculous, but it demonstrates a respect for competition that was at times glaringly peculiar and at other times overtly absent from the Olympic events this year.
Gun control -- George W. Bush has an interesting approach to solving the gun problem that is currently afflicting our country. Instead of eliminating guns from everybody, W supports taking guns away from criminals and offenders. Good idea. Now tell us how you're going to do that. I'm not really sure about this, but if a criminal really wants a gun, I'm guessing he can probably get one without going to a gun shop, most likely by buying or stealing a weapon from someone who legally has a gun. Also, W's pick of Dick "Cop Killer" Cheney is a little strange for someone who constantly touts his support of police. Cheney was one of the few congressmen who decided that bullets made specifically for piercing bulletproof vests are necessary enough so that they may be sold to all Americans. Finally, and most distressing, some Bush supporters have commented that had teachers at Columbine been armed with guns, there would have been fewer victims. Taking this idea just a tad farther, one could argue that the children at the Jewish community center near Los Angeles would have been safer if they had been packing heat.
Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, founded in 1900, is the birthplace of the modern MBA and the first business school in history. The question is how Tuck is adapting to what is becoming the buzzword of the financial world in this millennium -- globalization.
Turning away challenges and invitations, Republican candidate George W. Bush has not -- until today -- debated against his Democratic opponent Al Gore.
Thomas Penfield Jackson '58 never envisioned himself as a public figure. Nor did he ever expect to work on a case that would garner as much attention as the Microsoft Corporation trial.
