No! No! No! Louis Gerstner refused the top job at IBM three times in the early 1990s. By the time he had left IBM in 2002, many more people were yelling "no" -- shareholders, customers, clients, employees and board members alike did not want Mr. Gerstner to go. But go he did. Louis Gerstner, former Chairman and CEO of IBM, saved IBM from its financial torment and steered the company, relying on his steely spine and might. A graduate of Dartmouth College, I would like to salute Mr. Gerstner for a job well -- no -- a job admirably done.

It stuns me that little is mentioned about the housing situation at Dartmouth. Here we are at Dartmouth College, an Ivy League school and a top-ten institution, according to the U.S. News & World Report. We go to one of the best schools in the nation. We can pump out successful graduates at a break neck pace. Yippee-doo-doo-dah. But here is the kicker: we cannot even house all of our students. Sure, most of us know about the non-guaranteed housing for sophomores and the poor room management, but the larger problems is why we, the students, continue about with the sheets pulled over our eyes. Or even worse, with the sheets covering our mouths. I say we do something about this situation not by whispering our complaints, but by being proactive about the situation. Go tell it on the mountain: we demand beds!

I like LeBron James. He is fast and furious, dynamic and dexterous on the brown hardwood floors. He is the 6'7", 215 lbs. seventeen-year-old basketball phenom who attends St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio. The problem is that I know about him. I know too much about him. The problem is that LeBron James is in the midst of a media blitz bigger than Houston Rockets Center Yao-Ming's pants. Message to the media: stop the presses and leave LeBron alone or (as Death says on The Family Guy), "consequences will be dire."

Bzzz!" The Monday morning alarm clock buzzer is an annoying reminder. It is the clock's way of saying "The weekend is over." But this past Monday was different -- we could sleep in. Monday was a gift from the federal government: Martin Luther King Holiday. Did you notice all the MLK events that the College planned?

Tick, tock. They have 31 and a half seconds. Tick, tock. They spent $1.5 million to score. Tick, tock. Their shareholders await a lofty return on investment.

Welcome back to the brand spanking new school term. Before we begin studying and renewing our Dartmouth life, let us look at something that is talked about this time of year -- that long lasting tradition we never seem to fulfill. I am talking about those dubious New Year's resolutions (NYRs). I am not asking that you make a resolution -- far from it. I want to briefly explore this vintage tradition and suggest a few resolutions for some people and groups we all know.

The elections are over. Now we can breathe, but please do not take too deep a breath. The gusty political whirlwind is about to start anew. Fourteen months from now, New Hampshire will be the political hub for the 2004 presidential elections. We thought it a good idea to look at who might be in the 2004 political whirlwind right now. So we pored over the Democratic contenders: Daschle, Dean, Edwards, Gephardt, Kerry, Gore, Sharpton. One name stands out, or rather, does not stand out: Dean. Who is this fellow?

The Angels and Giants in the World Series? Did that just happen? Baseball's postseason this month may be "electric;" however, please do not let it fool you. Baseball still has problems. The last minute Aug. 30 baseball strike-averting deal is a hoax. I ask that you look at baseball's disarray in its entirety right now.

Think Jennifer Aniston. Now think of what she might be wearing on "Friends," the well-recognized television show. This is where the fun begins for many guys. But for technophiles (euphemism for nerds), deeper questions arise. Technophiles have not only asked, "What is Jennifer wearing?" They have asked, "Who makes what she is wearing? How can we design a technology to enable viewers to buy what she is wearing? How can we convince viewers to use the technology?" European technophiles have whipped up a solution to enable TV viewers to get more than just picture and sound. Its name is t-commerce. But here is the problem: t-commerce will not be massively deployed in America for a while. This lag is unwarranted and unsuitable.

America lost its moral way years ago. It bounced on the aimless avenue of ambiguity like a dazed child springing on her trampoline. This is not surprising, because nobody knows the future; one is always on the avenue of ambiguity, especially with morality. Nevertheless, America seems to have more than lost its way. It lost the map.
