My name is Alex Howe, and I am Parkhursted. Being suspended from Dartmouth, if I may romanticize, is like being a disavowed secret agent.
The end of the year is a natural time for people to reminisce about recent events, and writers have milked this tendency for decades now.
'07 TriDelt 1: "I am worried. Do you think I should get Plan B?" '07 TriDelt 2: "I don't think so, and if I'm wrong I'll babysit for you." "I can't wait to get pregnant.
I am thankful for: -- Family, friends and laughter. -- Dartmouth -- well most of it. -- Collis baked goods, Molly's bread and Earl Grey tea. -- Formals and Andr. -- I'd be thankful if you got me an internship! I am NOT thankful for: -- Leap years and such that make my 21st birthday fall on Thanksgiving.
Book: "Pat the Politician: A Political Pull and Poke Parody" Light "reading" and the perfect gift for your favorite govy major.
Dartmouth has fraternities, and they are much too important. Students drink, but are also smart. Sometimes people hook up. Oops!
My grandmother takes Thanksgiving very seriously. Her version of Turkey Day includes mailed, rhyming invitations; a coat-and-tie dress code (for the annual family photo, obvi); intricate table decorations and of course a smorgasbord of good food. The feast ranges from the traditional stuffing and turkey, browned to a golden perfection, to southern traditions like country-fried ham and pecan pie. A roommate once laughed at my photo from the big day -- I believe her reaction was something along the lines of "Martha Stewart and Norman Rockwell on crack." But then she had never eaten chocolate bourbon balls or fudge before I came along, so I'm not sure her opinion is really viable. Alas, the one thing my grandmother's Thanksgiving does not provide is the plane ticket for me to attend.
Is that the Dawson's Creek theme song I hear echoing in the distance? Oh-ehm-gee, this must be my last column!
I was talking to a friend the other day and she happened to mention that the past few weeks she has been plagued by a recurring dream.
With the holiday season almost officially upon us, thoughts turn to dreaded holiday shopping. The Sony Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii are destined to find their way onto many shopping lists.
With the end of sophomore fall approaching, there is a sense of urgency for self-discovery among the '09 class.
In case you hadn't already realized just how many of your friends at Dartmouth are from the Eastern seaboard (or, in particular, the New York metropolitan area), fall's first holiday vacation makes the geographic breakdown of the College's student body abundantly clear.
Over the past nine weeks, you've spent up to 36 hours looking at your professors. That's 12 hours per professor (give or take a 10a). You noticed things about them.
You don't have to don homegrown hemp clothing to extend environmentalism into your wardrobe. Read on to find out how the fashion world is beginning to make "going green" look good. In case you haven't picked this up from Al Gore or one of the half dozen articles that made the front page of The D this term alone about "sustainability," it's going to take a lifestyle change on our part to clean up the man-made mess of the environment. The term "lifestyle change" is tossed around a lot these days, and it encompasses so many options for alterations and degrees of sacrifice that it can get confusing.
It's that time of the term again! Our houses, teams and improv groups are all forcing us to suspend our inhibitions and search for a costar for our future "Fall Formal OMG!" Facebook photo albums. Formals are funny little events here at Dartmouth.
