A Lesson to Learn: The majority of students' reactions to the unveiling of Berry Library ranged from mild acceptance to strong dislike. Most found what they saw to be sterile, cold and unwelcoming -- lacking all the charm of its landmark neighbor. But the frightening thing is that these responses mirrored what many members of the community have been saying for several years about the entire concept. Now that the largest donation in the history of the College has been spent and the building is complete, we have to live with this. But what if the College had heeded professors' warnings and student petitions? What if the Trustees had acted upon the Design Review Committee's rejection? We would have a better library -- a library that would be as cherished at the turn of the next century as Baker is today. With numerous building projects and a campus expansion in the works, the lesson to be learned is that those living most closely within the Dartmouth community know best what this campus needs.
Stuart Lord, newly appointed dean of the Tucker Foundation and associate provost, had always thought he would become a pastor.
Dartmouth students living in on-campus housing will soon be finally able to watch 60 television channels on the campus cable system.
With specialties ranging from paleontology to advanced algebra to the economics of infant health, a number of new faculty members have greeted Dartmouth students for their first times this week and more will be taking their places in classrooms across campus over the next three terms.
The only Ivy League school to still consider applicants' finances in its admissions process, Brown University, is moving toward a need-blind policy that, if initiated, will eliminate all consideration of economic status in admission to the country's most selective league in higher education.
While forging the ideas of psychoanalysis, Dr. Sigmund Freud attempted to explain why individuals act as they do. His examination of human behavior was microscopic, detailing the uneasy balance between the divergent parts of the psyche. "The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference" succeeds in doing the same on a macroscopic scale.
There is one basic premise to this column: college football is infinitely superior to the pro version.
For most teams, losing the first five games in season is not a good way to start. It usually means that worse things are yet to come. For Dartmouth volleyball, it may be just the opposite.
The Dartmouth women's tennis team, coming off a 10-8 mark a year ago, including a 4-3 record in Ivy League competition, begins its season tomorrow with high hopes.
The best athletes from all over the world converge for a glorified fortnight of heart-suspending, harmonious and friendly international competition. Sounds exactly like a spellbinding sports showcase, with only one missing ingredient: controversy. The 2000 Sydney Olympic Games was predictably marked by tremendous tension before the first lap was swum, first routine was completed or first game was played.
I was reading The New York Times this past Sunday and a picture captioned "The proposed Kennedy sculpture" drew me to its accompanying article. A sculptor in Massachusetts wants to erect a memorial to John F. Kennedy in Hyannis. I'm in agreement with that -- this is New England after all; if you stand still long enough a plaque will be cast and affixed to your chest, pigeons will flock and people will seek you out, guidebooks in hand. However, the sculptor, one David Lewis, was also impressed by the death of John F. Kennedy, Jr. and "felt that Mr. Kennedy [Jr.] should be honored along with his father." Here is where Mr. Lewis misses the point.
Long the domain of student activists, economists from around the country have now entered the fight over collegiate sponsorship of sweatshops abroad, conglomerating their influence in a letter addressed to university presidents.
After his Sept. 2 arrest for computer theft, Andrew Vera '01 awaits a Jan. 9, 2001 court date, according to Hanover Police Chief Nick Giaccone.
Entering into his three-term tenure as Student Assembly president, Jorge Miranda '01 outlined his plans to increase student involvement in the Assembly in an interview with The Dartmouth last night.
While the Registrar's Office originally intended this year's registration process to be smoother thanks to the new online drop/add class option, multiple computer problems shut down the Banner Student server for a period yesterday, resulting again in long lines at its office.
Bob Gienko '01 has an interesting relationship with the candidate he supports for the New Hampshire State Legislature. He ties his shoes, combs his hair, brushes his teeth and sees him in the mirror.
The real mission: impossible was figuring out the plot of "Mission: Impossible," am I right? That was one confusing movie. That and "Stuart Saves His Family." Virtuoso Performance is not a description that Al Franken is unfamiliar with, but 'Stuart' is like a delicate rose, with each petal a different layer of Stuart's character, brought out with aplomb by the photography of George Herriman, creator of "Krazy Kat." I've seen this movie over 60 times, and each time it brings a tear to my eye, and the flight of a thousand birds to my heart.
"Nurse Betty" is not what you think it is. I don't really care what you might believe this film is about -- you are utterly and totally wrong.
The Dartmouth women's golf team finished tied for second out of 17 teams at last weekend's Dartmouth Invitational tournament at the Hanover Country Club.
