To the Editor:
After seeing the post-convention polls putting him 17 points behind and momentum clearly going against him, Al Gore must have felt desperation. In order to place a barrier between him and the scandal-ridden Clinton-Gore administration he has made a surprising choice for Vice President by picking Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. The highly popular and squeaky-clean senator enjoys wide support from both parties. Lieberman is probably the Democrat who is the most fundamentally different from Gore when it comes to issues of policy, morality, and electoral fair play.
I'd like to take this particular column as an opportunity to recognize an oft-overlooked segment of our society. In this day and age, acknowledgment of the diversity inherent in the American population is absolutely essential; and yet, most of the time, we fail to take into account these forgotten people. Yes, by now you've probably guessed it -- I'm talking about idiots.
Seven Native American students and three Dartmouth professors joined a group of several students at Alpha Delta fraternity on Tuesday for a discussion about Native Americans' role at the College and the historical use of the Indian as Dartmouth's mascot.

When her face first appeared as one of about a dozen photographs that flashed in the upper right hand corner of Dartmouth's new website, Janine Denny '02 -- an African American student here -- was surprised.
While most academic buildings rested empty and peaceful Sunday evening, an acid spill and minor flooding shook up Steele, the chemistry building, when a student accidentally spilled nitric acid during an experiment.
REDMOND, Wa. -- It's tough to resign yourself to mediocrity. Most Americans spend their years in school learning how to be individuals, how to be leaders and how to make their mark on the world. But in the end, the problem is that there's simply too many of us. The reality is that we cannot all change the world, because there's not enough room for two of Bill Gates, or two Presidents of the United States, or even two "West Wing" actors to play the President of the United States.
In an unprecedented ruling in the Ivy League, Brown's championship football team was declared ineligible from defending its title because of National Collegiate Athletic Association recruitment rules violations.
During the recent Class of 2002 Family weekend, my family came up to Hanover to visit with me and to get a better sense of what my life at Dartmouth College is like. Upon walking into my house and getting her first whiff of the stale beer fumes emanating from the basement, my mom made use of the Dartmouth vernacular and exclaimed, "I think I'm going to boot." Not wanting my parents to get too clear an idea of what their $130,000 college investment is really paying for, I decided to get them out of the frat as soon as possible. We set off looking for a classier place, one where our shoes (and the dog) wouldn't stick to the floor and the beverages weren't served exclusively in cheap, 12-oz. plastic cups. So I took them to another Webster Avenue abode, the President's house, where President Wright and his wife were giving a reception for the visiting families.

Al Gore selected Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman to be his running mate yesterday, rounding out the 2000 Democratic party ticket with the first Jewish vice presidential candidate in U.S. history.
It was tough, as a reviewer, to see a movie called "Loser." The title cleverly puts its audience in a merciful mood, setting them to search for redeeming qualities. I found it hard to retain my critical objectivity -- after all, who wants to be the bully that kicks a loser when it's down?
Life. We're in it. For the long haul. It's what we do. We get up in the morning, shower -- most of us -- dress neatly -- some of us -- and trudge/bike/drive/ into the day.
PHILADELPHIA -- The final two evenings of the Republican National Convention continued stressing the idea that a new Bush administration will restore honor to the office of the President. The events brought energized crowds, upbeat tones and top-notch entertainment to the First Union Center.
