Chicks, Dicks & Carrot Sticks

|

I just want to be able to order a meatless egg-white wrap on whole wheat from the Hop without my masculinity being questioned. I mean, let's face it: we attend a school that has gender on the mind, as is incredibly apparent in this issue of The Mirror.

Frosty's Corner

|

*I am a Woman of Dartmouth.**## But what does it mean to be a woman of Dartmouth? And why is being a woman of Dartmouth a thing that needs a definition? I think the first time I became aware that it meant something to be a woman on this campus was when I was singing the Alma Mater with a group of friends and one of them turned to me and said, "Don't stomp on Lest the old traditions fail.'" I was taken aback. "We all stomp on that line," I responded. "No, we don't," he said, "People started stomping on that line when the Daughters of Dartmouth' line was added in the '80s.

To Give or Not to Give: Is Gender the Question?

|

Thirty-seven years before anonymous senior women left "The Red Book," a self-purported "Guide to Dartmouth," under my door, another far more sinister pamphlet was slipped into the rooms of every Dartmouth woman living in Woodward Hall, an all-female dormitory.

How to Avoid a Hangover Without Really Trying

|

I dedicate this article to my two roommates of years past, who have bought me Powerade and oyster crackers in times of dire need and have generally tolerated me during days when I have kept our one-room doubles completely dark until 6 p.m. I've had a lot of hangovers in my time. In high school, I was a cocky little shit who thought I was constitutionally immune from the alleged feeling of illness that follows a night of drinking.

Reboot and Rally

|

Welcome to the first edition of the Reboot and Rally Guide to Getting it On. Although the title might seem quite suggestive, remind yourself that you're reading a tech column and then remove your head from the proverbial gutter.

A Dorm of My Own: Cohen 101C

|

Marguerite Imbert / The Dartmouth Marguerite Imbert / The Dartmouth The first thing that catches my eye when I walk into Cohen 101C the room of Nicole Chiavacci '14 is a Gothic black wrought iron chandelier stuck flat against her wall. "It's a sticker," she says, peeling up an edge as she hops up onto her bed, displacing an overalled old bear in the process.

How to Not Date at Dartmouth Notice this is not entitled: "How NOT to Date at Dartmouth," as that would imply that I actually date at Dartmouth and have all this sage advice to offer.

Hot to Make it to Your 9L

To be honest, I couldn't get up on time to make it to my 9L several times this term. Instead, I would go to the second session at 10.

Dartmouth's My Favorite

|

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

|

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.
