Numerous offices and departments have recently recognized students who have made a significant impact on the Dartmouth community as the academic year comes to a close.
The first time most Americans listen to the Streets, they have one of two reactions: laughter or embarrassment. I began as a laugher but have since become a cringer.
Yes, there are waves in New Hampshire. There are also waves in New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts, where Princeton, Yale and Harvard have all started their own surf teams. So why shouldn't Dartmouth have one? The history of the school proves we have a crowd of students far more outgoing and exciting than any of our neighboring schools, so why did we fail when our surf team started and why do we fail now to start a new one?
Around now, the awful stats dismissed as "slumps" in April take on a worrisome import. After all, it's a quarter of the way into the season, and the freakish stats of April (remember when Barry Bonds was hitting .500?) have regressed to reality.

When I read the headline in The Dartmouth on May 19 ("Police consider pressing online gambling charges"), I was shocked at the ignorance displayed by the Hanover Police Department. There is a not a single state in this country that has a specific law against playing online poker for money, and for good reasons.

Editor's note: This is the third in a multi-part series on employment conditions for students at the College.
As Spring term draws to a close, many professors will be distributing course evaluation forms, but the forms' lack of standardization is prompting calls from some students and faculty members for an institution-wide assessment system.
Students have long casually poked fun at the College's social norms program, renowned for distributing colorful posters and free Nalgene water bottles with information on alcohol use at Dartmouth. But this year, undergraduate mathematics students and one professor have charged that the program's most popular claim is inaccurate and misleading.
Student-athletes gathered in Leede Arena Monday night to celebrate a year of successes on the field, in the classroom and among the community.
"So many of my books are about loss and who accepts loss better than others," noted author John Irving said Saturday to a full audience after a screening of the "Door in the Floor," an adaptation of the first third of his novel, "A Widow For A Year." At the core of the movie are a family's deviant methods of coping with the loss of its two teenage sons in a car accident.
The Western Conference finals features the top two teams from the regular season, as the top-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves, having recently completed a seven-game series over the Sacramento Kings, face the second-seeded Los Angeles Lakers, who responded from a 0-2 series deficit against the defending champion San Antonio Spurs to win the series in six games. Though Minnesota won the regular- season series between the two teams, the resurgent Lakers provide adequate competition to the T'Wolves, who make their first finals appearance in franchise history.
The Eastern Conference playoffs have followed their prescribed path, as the overwhelming choices to reach the conference finals prior to the postseason -- the Pacers and Pistons -- both advanced to play for a shot at the Western Conference champion. While Indiana held a 3-1 advantage in its regular season battles, the acquisition of Rasheed Wallace has now positioned Detroit as the consensus slight favorite going into the series.

I am disturbed by Mr. Rodgers' claim of expertise over diversity issues in The Dartmouth ("Popular Trustee Candidate Responds," May 12). He claims, "With 35-percent minority employment, my company, Cypress Semiconductor, is more diverse than Dartmouth has ever been. " As opposed to us yokels, he lives in "Silicon Valley's enlightened multicultural society." But looking at Cypress Semiconductor's own corporate information does not paint a picture of much diversity at all. Nearly all of Cypress Semiconductor's "minorities" are Asian or Asian American. Mr. Rodgers has no expertise whatsoever in dealing with our national legacy of the enslavement of African Americans, the defrauding of Native American land, or the aftermath of legally sanctioned Jim Crow segregation.
