So, apparently I'm a writer for the D. I've never written an article for a newspaper before, but I write all the time, I read the paper all the time, I watch basketball all the time and I vomit uncontrollably all the time. Three of those things should be useful in writing this article. So we'll see how it goes.
In last Saturday's crew action, the Dartmouth women defeated Cornell on Cayuga Lake Inlet in Ithaca, N.Y. Fighting through varying headwinds and slight to moderate chop on the water, Big Green rowers returned with the Parent's Cup for the first time in three years.

Dr. C. Everett Koop '37 said last week that America's tobacco companies are "equally evil" as the sellers of illegal drugs, and that they're the "real terrorists" in our world. With all possible respect to the former surgeon general, whom I have met and admire tremendously, I think his (and everybody else's) insistence on blaming the tobacco companies for the epidemic of cigarette smoking is, these days, illogical and unproductive.
I have a list of potential editorial topics to write about, but all my ideas seem meaningless in face of the haze that is currently hanging over everything in my life. What is this new dimension of my existence? My impending graduation.
What is particularly galling about the peccadillo caused by Kathleen Reeder's May 2 column in The Dartmouth, "Sex, Lies and Feminism," is that she has not been held accountable for her flawed conception of feminism. To define herself as a "conservative feminist" simply because she "believes in the equality of the sexes" is an innaccurate understanding of feminism. Rather, feminism's central goal is to establish gender equality; other branches of feminism differ in their beliefs about how to achieve this goal, whether that be the "shock and awe" tactics of radical feminism or the "shop and awe" ones of conservative feminism. While I don't necessarily agree with the inflammatory rhetoric of one side (all women should be lesbians, all sex is rape, etc.), I also don't agree with the conservative feminist position either. Like always, I try to appeal to sense, and that, for me, usually lies in between the two positions.
