I'm having some issues...

Dear Carol, I had heard that the "morning-after" blitz was pretty standard practice at Dartmouth, but so far I have yet to see this fable reach my inbox.

Breaking Through: Double Helixir of Love - The Future of Sex

|

2008 was a huge year for sex -- and I'm talking Ron-Jeremy huge. This was the year gay marriage was championed as a federal issue, the year a Yale student induced numerous abortions in the name of art and the year the big-screen debut of the "Sex and the City" movie spurred a theatre-bound, mass migration of young teenagers salivating over the lifestyle of the cosmopolite cougar. 2008 was also the year that Match.com boasted record-high 16 million members spanning 37 countries, and generated an impressive $350 million in revenues.

Greetings from ... Toulouse

|

Editor's Note: This term, The Mirror will feature select staffers' thoughts on life abroad, everything from the day-to-day to how their experiences overseas affect their perspectives on life at home and at Dartmouth. I'm embarrassed to say this, but I arrived in Toulouse, France on the LSA+ expecting to be inundated with a different species of human -- the French -- that constantly smokes, drinks wine and feeds me baguettes for lunch.

THIS, Sir, Is My Case!

"Here it comes the party of a lifetime/31st of December/Man I remember when the ball dropped for '90/Now it's 9-9/ten years behind me" -- Will Smith, "Will 2K" Time sure does fly by when Will Smith stops making music ... I don't really remember when the ball dropped for '90; I was two, and still couldn't walk, but I did know cursive.

The DM Manual of Style

|

Looking for a fresh way to celebrate the New Year in style? Ditch the same, old boring goals -- lose weight, spend less, exercise, eat healthy, get more sleep -- (you know you'll forget them by the end of the month, anyway) and make some fashion resolutions instead!

Editor's Note

|

We hate New Year's Resolutions. We always make them, and then we break them, and then we just feel bad about ourselves when late December rolls around and we look back on another failed year.

Rem's Final Thoughts: The TV in Food Court

|

By Rembert Browne This could be the end of the road for me. I'm a free agent in a month or so, and who knows if the '10s who start running The Dartmouth, America's Oldest College Newspaper, in January will renew my contract.

Breaking Through: Financial Crisis

I recently made a mistake while changing channels; somewhere between "Who Wants to Date my Grandmother?" and "True Life: I'm on MTV's True Life" -- I stumbled upon a Fox News briefing.

Point: Dartmouth is Flair

|

While attempting to define the word "flair," I found that Urban Dictionary is plagued with references to the cult classic "Office Space"(1999), which, according to many internet sources, first introduced the phrase "flair" into mainstream culture.
