While College President James Wright's name is everyday fare in Dartmouth students' vocabulary, Susan Prager's is somewhat less well known.
Despite repeated attempts by college administrations -- including Dartmouth's -- to curb underage drinking and alcohol abuse, a recent Harvard University School of Public Health study found that underage drinking is flourishing on most campuses across the country.
With so many students living off-campus this summer, Dartmouth Dining Services' recent price hikes have been especially noticible -- but according to Director of Dining Services Tucker Rossiter, the increases are nothing to balk at.
I don't envy the producers of "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle"-- if ever there were a TV show that would go kicking and screaming through the transformation into a big-budget, feature-length motion picture, this was it.
I'm not sure if everyone's aware of this, but Wimbledon is happening right now as we speak. As an avid tennis player and fan, this event normally captivates my attention throughout the fortnight it is played. But this year I have boycotted watching tennis. I refuse to advocate the vicious travesty that is women's tennis. That's right, tennis will have to do without my ratings until they let Anna Kournikova win a tournament.
I was driving up East Wheelock on my way to class this week and there were two police officers directing traffic around the public works project being carried out at the intersection by Berry Sports Center. What is remarkable about this is that these officers were wearing dark blue combat fatigues. Their cargo pants were tucked into their boot tops, they had bellows pocket shirts with name tags and wide, black nylon belts bearing sidearms in quick release holsters encircled their waists. They were ready for a shootout on East Wheelock. We don't need that kind of presence while a hole is being dug in the street. We need Sheriff Taylor of Mayberry, RFD, with or without Barney.
The summons came over Spring Break: Jury Duty was in store for the first week of my summer vacation. I was actually, secretly, excited. Not that I could share my excitement with anyone, oh, no, I had to sigh and say "can you believe it?" The day had finally come. I woke up at 6:30 and begin the perils of public transportation in a city whose public transportation system, the Metrorail, is habitually referred to as the greatest public works failure in Florida. Harried, I arrive at the courthouse at 8:03, just three minutes late for my scheduled appearance. The baliff is very welcoming and jovial and ushers me into a room that is a cross between a massive lecture hall and a giant airplane interior--there are fixed seats too close together and television screens that pop down periodically.
Staying off the Internet and BlitzMail for one full day could be an impossible feat for about 10 percent of students, according to a recent study conducted at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute by psychologist Keith Anderson.
Jorge Miranda '01 just met with someone working to cure a disease. But the meeting was not with a professor or even a Biology major -- it was just one of what Miranda deems an amazing group of applicants for Dartmouth's Class of 2005.

To the Editor,
To the Editor,
I foolishly hoped that Dartmouth might rally for one more year, and that things would hold off until after I graduate. But when I read about the cutting down of the rope swing tree, I knew it was too late.
This piece has nothing to do with Dartmouth. It's about women. Well, not exactly. I've always felt people should stick to what they know when they write, and in all honesty I know nothing about women. But I do know a lot about knowing nothing about women. I am, in fact, an expert in this field.
Fairy tales are a part of all children's lives.
Eight-year-old Alex Strenta of Hanover was quick to tell The Dartmouth that he had no special feelings about the Fourth of July, but he was very sure about one thing: "I like the egg toss," he said.
