'12 Girl to S&S officer behind the bar at AD: Can I get a beer? '12 Guy: We'll have to do a surprise exorcism on you. Girl on Collis porch: It's the same concept as: If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

As co-chair of Gender Sexuality XYZ, Jen Schuster '09 works with members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Allied community to combat heteronormativity on campus and promote gender-neutral equality.
So, let's talk about gays at Dartmouth for a second. I have to admit, the gay community here proved to be a little different from the fantastical "college gay life" that I imagined before I arrived.
Flashback from sophomore fall: I am slung over the shoulder of the president of the fraternity I had my heart set on joining.
Each week, Amy examines a small group of students in order to understand the individual Dartmouth experience as part of a whole.
Usually each week that I'm writing, my editor will tell me to "write about some gadgets that pertain to the theme." She didn't tell me to do that this week.
In honor of PRIDE Week, I was going to wax poetic about different ways that the Dartmouth student body has made me proud over the years.
Writing the style column for PRIDE Week is probably one of the most intimidating tasks that I have faced as a writer.
The issue of self-identity at Dartmouth is something Jen and I, along with many of our peers, deal with on a daily basis.
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?
An environmental studies and studio art double major, Kari Cholnoky '10 has found many opportunities to explore both of her passions at Dartmouth.
Alex Rivadeneira / The Dartmouth Senior Staff This week, the Mirror is hitting the streets of Hanover to document Dartmouth's underground art scene.
In asserting my admiration for tattoos, I'm not going to give an intellectualized answer of why I think they are cool.
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.
Each week, Amy examines a small group of students in order to understand the individual Dartmouth experience as part of a whole.
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.
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.
Fashion in itself is clearly an art form, with its plethora of shapes, lines, styles and designs.
What is art and who gets to decide? These are complex questions that you most certainly won't find answers to in The Mirror.
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?
