Overheards

By The Dartmouth | April 3, 2009

Girl 1 in Novack: Where did my Diet Coke go? Ugh, someone probably stole it. Oh well, whoever took it is going to get herpes from me.

COUNTERPOINT: The Green

By Kate Farley | April 3, 2009

Our location in the bustling metropolis of Hanover insulates us from most of the traditional daily threats to our personal safety (last time I checked, there was a higher incidence of moose attacks than of muggings), but the population here, composed of the overwhelmingly type-A student body, introduces some less obvious dangers that stem from rampant multitasking. At any given time, you could be tagged by an errant highlighter that flew from the sweaty grasp of a girl trying to do her reading on the elliptical, suffer third-degree burns from the strawberry split pea soup spilled by someone barging through the Collis mob while on her cell phone, or fail your class because you conducted 65-minute Blitz sessions for an entire term. Basically, no one here is able to do just one thing at a time. This insatiable need to do everything at once means that during Spring term, the Green is mobbed not only by people displaying their possession or lack of athletic talent, but also by the tanning studiers -- also known as those people who still mistakenly believe that it is possible to combine their outdoor relaxation with their chemistry book and be productive on the Green. This is blatantly impossible.

POINT: The Green

By Sarah Frostenson | April 3, 2009

Not that my Winter term, Collis pasta ass will be sitting on the Green anytime soon thanks to this nasty bout of weather (which in all honesty is probably a blessing in disguise, because I can now hit the gym and kiss my muffin top goodbye), but as soon as the artificial grass sprayers appear, expect to see me there camped out with books, reading up a storm and soaking up some Vitamin D-fortified rays. Now I know some of you might be questioning my work ethic: "Oh sure, like you're gonna actually read, Frosty.

Reboot and Rally

By Luofei Deng | April 3, 2009

This week, I was given the assignment of writing something about some "Spring tech," so my column would seem more like an actual part of The Mirror instead of the token corner of testosterone it actually is.

I'm having some issues...

By Carol Brown | April 3, 2009

Dear Carol, I can never seem to keep a boyfriend for longer than a few months. I'm pretty convinced that it's because there isn't enough mystery in my relationships to keep things exciting -- we always get too comfortable too quickly.

THIS, Sir, Is My Case!

By Rembert Browne | April 3, 2009

Attn: Members of the Class of 2009: A very timely song was released a month or so ago that will surely stand the test of time in the historic annals of white rappers in America.

Editor's Note

So, Spring term is upon us, and here at The Dartmouth, we couldn't think of a better way to start arguably the best term of the year off right than by having a Mirror issue dedicated to celebrating Spring term the right way.

'10 Girl: My dad is now sending me messages on twitter. I feel like my life has officially gone off the deep end. Girl 1: It was a love tap! Girl 2: I repeat, it's not a love tap if you're in your car. '12 Guy (walking out of Foco, looking at plasma TV): Oh!

Spotlight: Linda Li and Ana Jackson

By Emma Fidel | March 6, 2009

Linda Li '11 and Ana Jackson '11 do not intend to save the world in 10 days. Instead, the co-leaders of the new Alternative Spring Break trip to Immokalee, Fla., want to connect with the often-exploited immigrant workers who pick fruit in the nation's top tomato-producing town.

Counterpoint: Spring Service

By Joanna Patterson | March 6, 2009

I need to begin with a confession. The most productive part of my spring break is going to be my semi-annual visit to the dentist for a cleaning, so writing this article makes me a hypocrite.

Point: Spring Service

By Kate Farley | March 6, 2009

There is absolutely no easy way to begin a column that will essentially say "I really think it's a bad idea to use your free time to help starving children.

Breaking Through

The DM Manual of Style

By Sydney Ribot | March 6, 2009

When a supporter of former president Ronald Reagan, Raymond "Doc" Frazier, saw Mikhail Gorbachev for the first time, he knew from his manner of dress that he was the right General Secretary of the Communist Party to help thaw the Cold War. "All I had ever seen of Soviet leaders was [Nikita] Khrushchev banging his shoe on the table and some old men in drab uniforms all looking like Mao Zedong, you know, had no personality and looked like they were zombies," he said, according to a CNN documentary.

THIS, Sir, Is My Case!

By Rembert Browne | March 6, 2009

Hey '09s, whatever you do, don't read the next sentence. We have 100 days left. Because of this horrific fact, coupled with the facts that it's already March, the term is almost over and our class trip to Cabo is but a few days away, our time is running out to do those things every Dartmouth student has to do before they graduate. Now, everyone has seen that stupid checklist that they give to students, the "100 things to do before you graduate" poster.
