Taking The Initiative
My distinguished colleague Zachary Gottlieb '10 recently wrote about Dartmouth as a protective parental figure, asking "When does this tireless parent teach us to fend for ourselves?" ("Dartmouth Man Needs a Maid," Sept. 24). If President Wright were truly our father, he would be a model parent -- brave enough to trust his children to learn from their mistakes. We should be proud of his work with the Amethyst Initiative, the controversial group of college presidents that has provoked renewed interest in a discussion about lowering the drinking age. As the only Ivy League president supporting the Initiative, Wright has proved courageous enough to make public his position on an issue that has no easy answers.
Everything's Bigger in Texas?
I love meeting Dartmouth students from my hometown of Seattle. We adamantly discuss how ridiculous umbrellas and those who carry them are, the hellish transnational flight to and from school, and how we can totally say the word "hella" without copying NorCal. But, when we're done extolling the virtues of Bill Gates, our conversation slides to an abrupt stop.

The DM Manual of Style
The leaves are falling, the weather is getting colder, and school is back in session. Although the onset of fall may seem bleak, the season does have one saving grace. I'm not talking about the foliage (overrated) but rather, Fashion.
Soundcheck Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself
Dear '12s,
Dear olde Dartmouth: Ye olde hazing rituals
Ye ignorant, crummy, egotistical, good-for-nothing, lop-eared, chicken-heartened nurslings, lay aside your milk bottle to Read! Learn! Obey! The Delta Alpha Rules for 1916."
How to find and identify a '12
T he wide-eyed spawn of the Class of 2012 can be found at every corner: mispronouncing the names of frats as they swarm into basements, smiling with joy as they tell people about their long term life goals, accidentally sitting down at upperclassmen tables and then fleeing amidst eye rolls and exaggerated sighs. Freshman like to think they are incognito and blend in with the upperclassmen, but sadly for them they stick out like a math professor at a Chi Gam dance party. You can locate them by their lanyards, by their massive giggling 'shmobs, by their well-worn Class of 2012 shirts, and by the conversations they have about how sweet they were in high school. Nowhere is more exotic than the epicenter of '12s, a carnival of naivety and all that is freshman: The Choates.
Daily Debriefing
Despite recent debates concerning the role of the Town Manager of Norwich, Vt., Peter Webster '71 was unanimously voted to the position Wednesday night. The tenure of the previous Town Manager, Stephen Soares, was marked by controversy, according to the Valley News. Webster has worked in town management for several years and has held various municipal manager positions since 1995. He "impressed Norwich officials with his background in strategic planning and leadership" and was chosen for the position by the Selectboard without discussion or comment during the vote, according to the Valley News. The town rarely holds a vote without some dissent, according to board chairman Gerard Chapdelaine.
