Dartmouth's My Favorite

By Emily Hirshey | November 11, 2010

Last week, someone asked me why my column was so consistently ignorant of The Mirror's weekly theme. "Don't you think it's a little self-involved that you just write whatever you feel like?" Nancy Negativity asked. While I appreciated her honesty and felt she had a valid point, I couldn't help thinking, "Well, guess who sucks?" (Hey Nancy, it's you.) Luckily for me, my vengeance was clear and simple, thanks to the "How-To" theme of this week's issue; I could both show Nancy that I am capable of staying on topic and figuratively slap her soul in the face.

How to do Laundry

By Madeline Zeiss | November 11, 2010

Dartmouth is rough on clothing, just in case you weren't aware. Between dirty frat basements, DDS spills, stains from the lab or whatever other else you may encounter, it's possible you'll need to do more than just throw your clothes in a machine.

How to Find Out Relevant Information About Someone You Only Sort of Know

By Jamila Ma | November 11, 2010

Stop pretending this is exceedingly creepy. We all do it. I've seen you in Collis. The DND is your best friend. Arguably the most important skill to master for any aspiring stalker, the DND aka Dartmouth Name Directory is clearly a sign from the heavens that you should get to know your fellow Dartmouth community members better!

How to Talk to a Blacked-Out Person

By Kathleen Mayer | November 11, 2010

1) Make no sudden movements. 2) Say things that make no sense. Claim it was a pun. Laugh loudly for 30 seconds. 3) Every few minutes, ask, "Remember when Michael Jackson died?" 4) If they start to cry, RUN.

A Berry Important Issue

By Matt Lifson | November 4, 2010

I can think of no other issue plaguing Dartmouth that so urgently begs forum discussion and student action than the egregious misallocation of iMacs on first floor Berry. As Dartmouth students, I think most of us are very cognizant of the fact that we represent a great amount of diversity (be it economic, racial, geographic or in the case of certain mythological-mobile-theatre-players psychological diversity). So of course, this diversity implies that there is a broad range of personal resources to which different students have access and it is imperative that students with greater resources begin to understand that they must take advantage of their means and leave Dartmouth's resources to the less privileged and more deserving. What does this have to do with frst floor Berry iMacs?

Activism for Equality

By Paige Franklin | November 4, 2010

Throughout the cotentious fight for equality at the College there has been a protest, a painted Winter Carnival sculpture and four shanties on the Green. Dartmouth integrated 40 years before the other Ivies with Edward Mitchell, member of the Class of 1828, gaining admission to the college as the first African American.

A Point of Protest

By Jack Boger | November 4, 2010

What does it take to get Dartmouth students riled up? There was much talk and little action in the wake of recent Hanover Police initiatives and the closing of the beloved swim docks on the Connecticut River.

Dartmouth's My Favorite

By Emily Hirshey | November 4, 2010

This week's Mirror is about Forums (capital "F" because WE MEAN IT). This seems serious. If I make fun of it, I'll probably be the cause of the next discussion.

Frosty's Corner

By Sarah Frostenson | November 4, 2010

Analogy: Student Activism is to Dartmouth as Global Warming is to the Environment. In other words, it doesn't exist. OK, so that last part was a joke; I'm not Glenn Beck.
