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.

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.

Overheards

By The Dartmouth | March 6, 2009

'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

Our hatchling days as naive granite-brained freshmen have been indoctrinated in all of the conventions of our dear ol' College on the Hill.

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.

Editor's Note

As the term winds down, many of us can't wait for the chance to escape the snow and head south. However, each spring break, a select few decide to be a bit more productive ... While the best of you are out there saving the world, I'm saving my sanity, curled up with my trusty dog Peanut, watching a season's worth of "Big Love" that DarTV fails to provide for me.

'09 Guy: Yeah, usually I wear snowpants when I sled. '09 Girl: I don't even know what a snowpant is. '09 Guy: It's like a jacket for your butt. At "World, Hold On" Party: '10 KDE: OMG, I'm dancing my pants off! '09 Sigma Delt to herself (noting the girl wearing only leggings): Oh, thats where all the pants have gone. '09 Girl: Yeah, she's cute, but her personality is a little bland. '10 Theta Delt: Personality?

Counterpoint: Elliptical or Treadmill?

By Christine Paquin | February 27, 2009

In life, some things are recognized as pure, unadulterated facts. For example, Princeton can't play hockey, UGGs will never go out of style at Dartmouth, a pong date here is equivalent to a first date everywhere else, and elliptical machines are for wimps.

Point: Elliptical or Treadmill?

By Jilian Gundling | February 27, 2009

The historic battle between the elliptical machine and the treadmill can be resolved by one quote from Marilyn Monroe: "I'd rather be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." There is no doubt that the elliptical machine is ridiculous -- some may go so far as to call it a joke.
