Prospie: At Pomona they had bisexual bathrooms ... uh ... I mean unisex. '11 BG: I always wanted to be like a B-side Jonas brother. '12 Girl: I think I told him mid-hook up that I didn't want to be womanized. '10 Guy: When it gets warmer, you guys should have another topless car wash. '10 Tri-Delt: Huh? '10 Guy: Yeah, that was a huge hit over the summer. '10 Tri-Delt: Umm, that didn't happen. '12 Guy: I really want to go to Berkeley for law school. '12 Girl: To be honest, I just want to get married and go shopping at the Trader Joe's. '09 KDE: Do you think "Gingers" are a race? Tabard pledge: In two weeks, I'll be wearing a diaper and you'll be spanking me with a paddle. '10 Girl: Yeah, do you have anything planned for 4/20? '11 Girl: OH NO, today is 4/20?

Underground Art

|

Alex Rivadeneira / The Dartmouth Senior Staff This week, the Mirror is hitting the streets of Hanover to document Dartmouth's underground art scene.

POINT: Tattoos

|

Tattoos are not art. If they were art, then that would imply that biker bars and punk rock concerts are museums; and that is simply not true.

'Accidental' Art

|

So I'm a clumsy person, that's definitely true. However, I take no responsibility for the times I've slid in front of Wheeler residence hall, trying to take a short cut up that grassy hill.

THIS, Sir, Is My Case!

|

I think it's time that I came clean about one of my most private issues. I'm not proud of what I'm about to divulge, but it's the truth and it's been painful keeping everything bottled up for so long. The truth is, I am the absolute worst at art.

Going Green at the Big Green: Dartmouth's Energy Campaign

|

Aryeh Drager / The Dartmouth Staff "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" is a slogan as familiar to Dartmouth students as, "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish." Emblazoned everywhere, from the paper cups in the dining facilities -- which, ironically enough, are not recyclable, though they are compostable -- to the posters hanging above the recycling bins in dormitories, Dartmouth is intent on promoting an environmentally friendly message. But are we, as in you and me, actually willing to listen?

'11 Sigma Delt: i haven't shaved my legs in so long that when the wind blows i can feel it in my hairs. Guy 1: This was the one thing I did sophomore summer that I actually felt good about: got a subscription to The Economist Guy 2: Now you know everything ... or at least look like you do. '09 Girl I: I wish gorf was a verb, "to gorf." '09 Girl 2: I'm naming my firstborn Gorf. '11 Alpha Phi: I really just want someone I can blitz/call up and be like let's meet up -- and we can go have good sex -- without me having to go out and play pong and drink first.

SPOTLIGHT: Marissa Knodel '09

So, why are you so passionate about the environment? This is something I've thought a lot about, because I'm actually very interested from an activism and education standpoint about what connects people to the environment.

COUNTERPOINT: Recycling

|

As the stock market is woefully unhip and insists on clinging to last year's trend of spiraling downward (so 2008, seriously), the College's financial expenditures continue to face intense scrutiny.

POINT: Recycling

|

I'm a good little faux new age hippie. Although I don't own Birkenstocks or Doc Marten's, I'm from Vermont, my family composts, I eat organic, I like the Grateful Dead and I think that new vegetable garden at the White House is rockin'. I always use canvas bags on my Co-op runs, I don't litter, I own a BPA-free Nalgene and I think every high school kid should watch "An Inconvenient Truth" in science class.

Regular readers of Reboot and Rally know that I have a somewhat unusual obsession with personal hygiene products (see the Razors Wars of March 2, 2007 and the Old Spice review of Oct.
