Ask Miss Muffin Top

By Miss Muffin Top | October 1, 2009

Dear Miss Muffin Top, Who the hell are you? Bissell Babe Dear Bissell Babe, You may think Miss Muffin Top is some nobody, or worse, that I'm related to that dreadful cousin who sat on her tuffet eating her curds and whey. And you wouldn't be entirely wrong. Miss Muffin Top enjoys dairy almost as much as she enjoys fine wines.

By Emily Fletcher | October 1, 2009

Dartmouth, we have an addiction problem. I'm not talking about Blitz or Keystone. This addiction finds us in our rooms, in basements, even on DOC Trips.

Editors' Note

By Jen Argote and Amita Kulkarni | September 24, 2009

Alex Rivadeneira / The Dartmouth Senior Staff N ow that we are officially a week into our senior year at Dartmouth, it seems like only yesterday Jen and I were eagerly friending random members of the Class of 2010 on Facebook with the notion, that, "Hey, we are going to be fellow '10s, so of course we must be friends by default." In our three years here, Facebook and online social networking sites have transformed the way we communicate, and have influenced the people we choose to know.

A Voice Crying Out in the Twittersphere

By Matthew Ritger | September 24, 2009

True story: Late one night my sophomore spring, I was working on a paper in a study lounge in McLane, when a black girl tried to throw herself out the window of whatever that dorm is across Tuck Drive. She was screaming out to the streets about how racist and hopeless Dartmouth is, and screaming at her friend, and climbing in and out of her fourth-floor window, and generally making it difficult for me to do my homework. She was hollering about how awful it is to be a woman, and to be black, and how disgusted she is by our false pretense of diversity here when Twitter update from MyToddelmog: "Natalie Portman just walked down my block." Humph.

The Revolution Will (Probably) Not Be Twittered

By Kate Farley | September 24, 2009

I usually know a trend has arrived when my father blitzes me with a confused question, and in light of his recent inquiry about "getting on that Twitter thing," I'm going to call social networking an official phenomenon. From a serious analytical perspective, I think that we've definitively seen the Rise of Friendster and weathered The Shift Towards Facebook (you know you can see future sociologists seriously debating this). The pressing question of the day now is, "Has the Great Twitter Awakening Begun?" Are we on the cusp of a major revolution? Unfortunately, I might not be the best person to answer these questions, because I have an embarrassing confession to make: I don't tweet.

Friending and Following (Counterpoint)

By Katy Briggs | September 24, 2009

Mr. Zuckerberg, you have created a monster. The appropriate use of social networking along with the economic downturn, global health care inadequacies and climate change has become one of the great hurdles facing our generation.
