A few hours in jail can change a person's life. It definitely changed mine.
In an old Aesop's fable the wind and the sun test their strength by trying to cause a traveler to remove his heavy cloak. In the face of the wind's angry huffing and puffing, the traveler wraps the cloak even tighter around himself. But under the warm, beaming rays of the sun, the traveler happily removes his cloak. This traveler is a good metaphor for the debate that will be waged on the floor of Congress today, over whether or not to grant permanent normalized trading relations (PNTR) to China. The question is how to defeat oppression and improve the quality of life for billions in China. Is it best that we use trade sanctions, military build-ups and possible violence? Or is it better to fight with the power of the pen (or in this day and age, the keyboard) and to spread freedom to China in the form of imported American culture? In today's vote, Congress will decide whether the best way to remove the cloak of tyranny hanging on the shoulders' of the Chinese people, is through cold isolation, or through warm friendliness.
From virtually the beginning of the year, I heard all sorts of stories of the majesty that is Green Key. Upperclassmen of all sorts referred to Winter Carnival as a "walk in the park" compared to the insanity of Green Key. Homecoming? Pure child's play. For all of Spring term, like a kid in a candy store, my eyeballs grew bigger and bigger in anticipation of the final prize of eight or nine weeks of intense procrastination and faux-studying.
Dartmouth is not the only institution that has struggled to improve diversity on its campus. This issue has been ongoing at other colleges and universities -- and many of the College's peer institutions have already implemented plans to promote cultural understanding on their campuses.
To gauge what some prominent students of color think of the Trustees' World Cultures Initiative, The Dartmouth conducted interviews with four campus leaders: Afro-American Society President Olivia Carpenter '00, Pan-Asian Council Co-chair Christen Einsiedler '00, La Alianza Latina President Omar Rashid '00 and Casey Sixkiller '00, chair of the council that represents Native Americans at Dartmouth.
The World Cultures Initiative was one of the most talked about aspects of the Trustees' announcements regarding the Student Life Initiative earlier this term -- and the majority of opinion felt it was far too vague and would not meet the needs of College minority students.
While the World Cultures Initiative aims to create a diversified atmosphere at the College that will cater to all students, public and private universities alike have been trying in recent years to diversify their campuses directly through affirmative action admissions processes.
The outgoing Student Assembly conducted their last official group meeting of the year last night, as President Dean Krishna '01 passed on the reigns to president-elect Jorge Miranda '01.
Princeton's study abroad program in China was recently forced to modify several of its teaching materials after receiving allegations that the texts portrayed the communist host country in an unfairly negative light.
The future of the house currently occupied by the Phi Delta Alpha fraternity remains uncertain, as the fraternity's national corporation -- who own the property -- have yet to make a decision since the organization's suspension of recognition last term.
In an emotionally charged and sometimes tearful evening marked by protest, vigil and discourse, Voces Clamantium speaker Yvette Schneider addressed an often angry audience last night about her transition from homosexuality to Christianity.
The Coed Fraternity Sorority Council's future as an overarching governing body for all Greek organizations is in jeopardy as some sorority presidents are seriously considering seceding from the organization.
Dartmouth has struggled to diversify its campus for as long as all of its current students have been here, and for years before any of them arrived. This campus struggles with realities such as the "ghetto" party and the scrawling of anti-Semitic statements on a Jewish student's door -- as well as a conservative national image that is deemed by many members of the community as mythical and blown out of proportion by the media.
Yes, principal dancers have been known to have affairs with budding blushing ballet students; yes, I've known a few dancers to have eating disorders; and yes, most male dancers are hot, sweet and sensitive.
News and opinion from the playoff front -- Imagine this scenario: One of the top teams in the league enters March riding high, in the lead of their division. Then, suddenly their luck changes for the worse. Their coach is diagnosed with cancer and is replaced behind the bench. Their star player and captain receives his fourth concussion of the year and is sidelined. What follows is even more improbable. The injured star faults his team's medical staff with misdiagnosing his injury. Then the team's GM strips him of his captaincy.
The Dartmouth athletic department added two new staff members yesterday as they named Chad Brown to assistant football coach and Mike King to assistant director of sports information.
Ivy League Player of the Year Josh Sims and Matt Striebel each tallied two goals and two assists to lead third-seeded Princeton (11-2) past sixth-seeded Maryland (11-5) 10-7 in the NCAA quarterfinals at Rutgers Saturday afternoon.
