The phrase "Worst Term Ever" gets thrown around a lot these days. So much so, in fact, that it is losing its descriptive power.

Easy A

A 4.0 at Dartmouth is like a leprechaun. If you're like me and have a permanent seat on the struggle bus, you've likely heard stories about students with 4.0s but can't ever really know for sure who does and doesn't have one until the valedictorians are announced senior year.

As a senior, I feel it's my time to transition from writing opinions to giving advice, and beginning my fourth winter in Hanover surely qualifies me to offer a recommendation or two to my fellow students.

'11 Guy: I did the math and I can get Ds in both of my classes this term and my GPA will only go down like 0.5 points.'13 Guy: You must have a really low GPA. '12 Sigma Delt: I wasn't hungover because I woke up drunk, which was nice. '14 Guy: I'm just in an a capella group, and DREAM, and I work at the library.

Navigating the Masculine Maze
By

| November 18, 2010
On a recent Friday afternoon made precociously dark by daylight savings time, I spoke with English professor Peter Travis, who occasionally teaches a women and gender studies course called "The Masculine Mystique." "Men in our culture carry extra baggage" due to expectations and responsibilities imposed on them by both society and themselves, he said.

Finding Femininity
By
Eliza Relman

Femininity. The term tends to conjure up images of lips, breasts, hair and high heels. Women who society considers "feminine" tend to fully embrace the attributes that delineate them from men, creating a greater physical, and perhaps social, gender divide. But is there a relevant definition of femininity that supersedes physical appearance?

A Good Ol' Boy Becomes a Man

My father has always fiercely believed that I am endlessly capable. He used to say to me when I was only five years old that I owed it to Eleanor Roosevelt to be a great woman, because everything she did, she did for me. I would protest in my stubborn way, saying, "She didn't even know me!" but he had predicted this response, telling me to think of all the little girls who weren't born yet who might someday know my name. He was a fraternity brother at the University of Texas, a star athlete and an Airborne Ranger in the United States Army.
