Fall is an exciting term no matter what the circumstances, but this year should be especially so, for the incoming class represents the change from Initiative theory to Initiative practice. The '04s are not the standard class of entering freshmen -- they are the pivotal group who will have first-hand experience of the Initiative. Dartmouth is in a time of transition, and the '04s are its transition class.

Dartmouth will not join a growing number of other colleges in banning on-campus access to Napster -- at least for now. With Napster and other web-based music acquisition services under heavy attack by the recording industry, more colleges and universities are buckling under the pressure and blocking student use of the sites.

Based solely on a plot summary, Tarsem Singh's "The Cell" sounds like yet another entry into the overstuffed serial killer film genre. In the film, FBI agent Peter Novak (Vince Vaughn from "Swingers") tracks a sadistic serial killer who kidnaps women and then drowns them. With little time available to locate the next to-be-victim, Peter attempts to create a window into the serial killer's mind by using a futuristic device designed for coma-therapy. Using the machine, child therapist Catherine Deane (Jennifer Lopez) literally enters the thoughts of the serial killer to determine his motives and the location of the kidnapped woman.

A campaign season full of Bush-Gore seemed so boring until each made an interesting vice-presidential pick: one VP choice has an openly gay daughter and the other is an orthodox Jew. While this says a lot about how tolerant America has become, it does not say that both parties have become more accepting. To tolerate is not to include. Make no mistake: the Republicans are not about inclusion, their message is about toleration, tolerating what many in the GOP hate.

Why is there such a wide gulf between the administration and the students? Why are some Dartmouth students apathetic? Why are decisions made without effective communication? Are we too busy and to see the connection between political will and personal happiness? Perhaps we do see this connection but we are simply too fed up and frustrated with arbitrary authority? The first proposition places blame on the citizens for not making their interests known. The second theory places blame on authority for not acting according to the interests of the community.

The end of the summer is upon Hanover. I say this because yesterday I witnessed a pair of students, upon exiting class, immediately burn each other for heat. So what better time to tell everyone all about the number one highlight of my summer? So many words can be used to describe it. It was recent, yet death-defying. It was Six, yet Flags. It was amusement, yet in a park. Stumped? I am referring to my recent death-defying trip to Six Flags Amusement Park.

Al Gore struggles along, though the convention was supposed to give him some purpose. However, he still has yet to address his biggest problem, which comes directly from the ultimate campaigner, the Man from Hope, Bill Clinton. Gore is not Clinton, and that simple fact continues to hurt him. Too often during the Clinton years we saw how the president used the White House and politics as a mirror for his inner struggle. This mirror cannot be shown more clearly than following the Lewinsky imbroglio, after which Clinton called the yearlong constitutional crisis a "personal growth experience." So while the polls show a dead heat, given the economy and Clinton's success, Al Gore should be ahead by a considerable margin.

The warm weather of the summer months has brought with it more than just bikini-clad women and shirtless men. It has carried with it upon its warm breezes millions and millions of Frisbees and their throwers from around the world. I sat down with the inventor of the Frisbee, Jack Mechupo, to discuss the phenomenon of this popular, yet simple toy.

While studying in Paris this winter, I came into contact with a group of politically active college students and twenty-somethings who were aligned far to the left in the political continuum. I figured that we would see eye to eye on most issues and share common political experiences derived from being liberal and politically active students. While the former notion was, for the most part, true, I was astounded by the differences between politics there and politics here and the difference in what it means to identify as a liberal. Most striking was the difference in the way in which we framed the political debate. For liberals in the United States, I explained, the enemy is clearly situated on the rightwing. It is their policies that we dispute and it is them we seek to defeat come election day. They told me that they don't even worry about the rightwing; for them, the enemy is the center. Whether the manifestation is mainstream conservative or mainstream liberal, moderation cannot be tolerated and principled positions cannot be abandoned.

Recently, we have become concerned by Tubestock T-shirts produced by a fraternity on campus that bear the image of a white man wearing a white tank top with a toothless smile, surrounded by the following message: "COME AS YOU ARE UNLESS YOU ARE WEST LEBANESE."
