COUNTERPOINT: Legit Classes?

By Kate Farley | July 11, 2008

Take legit classes during sophomore summer? Why? Not only would you miss massive facetime in Astro 3, you'd also be utterly confused by Sig Ep party blitzes referencing some guy named "Professor Ulrich." Plus, actually working may conflict with key rope-swing-jumping-off hours, or result in you missing out on the invaluable experience of bonding with your sweaty classmates in a 118 degree basement. The disadvantages are obvious, but as my naturally inquisitive nature set me thinking, I came to a shocking revelation. There are immediate, parent-friendly reasons for taking serious classes: they count towards your major, studying encourages an "adult," non-partying-oriented lifestyle and you're paying 80 times your future salary to be here.

Counterpoint: Sophomore Summer Relationships

By Paul Glenn | June 27, 2008

Frequent late-night visitors to my Facebook profile were disappointed to learn last week that I am now listed as "In a relationship." The move comes at a time when many Dartmouth "dating scene" "experts" claim that campus, at the fabled crux of the "X-Curve," is supposed to explode with hook up potential.

Point: Sophomore Summer Relationships

By Kate Farley | June 27, 2008

Ah, sophomore summer. Warm days, shirtless frisbee players on the Green, vaguely "summerish"-themed tails with the normal amount of alcohol and a quarter of the people ... what more do you need?

Reflections

By Joanna Patterson | June 27, 2008

For Dartmouth students, the hype surrounding sophomore summer is unavoidable: the intersection of the X-curve, the renowned scholastic offerings of Organic Farming, Engines 3 and Astro 2 and the opportunity to run back summer camp sans supervision -- all on a campus full of pong tables and no upperclassmen to take precedence.

The DM Manual of Style

By Dylan Leavitt | May 23, 2008

The days are growing longer, and the trees are growing fuller. Fenced lawns covered with that blue, chunky hydro-seed gunk are gradually welcoming grass.

The Green Keys to my Heart

By Sandra Himen | May 23, 2008

If love is a battlefield, then there is no better war zone than our beloved Green Key. This past Sunday, the warpath could be seen across campus, in trails of broken glass, crumpled beer cans and condom wrappers.

La Vie Dartmouth

By Jean Ellen Cowgill | May 23, 2008

Well friends, I'm not very good with the whole "later, 'tater" talk. I get all up in the mushiness like the sappy heroine of a Danielle Steele novel (the non-sexy sections). Or I brace myself against all emotion, devolving into awkward morning-after Blitz lingo: "So, um, that was fun.

The Big Green Bucket List

By Katherine Gorman | May 23, 2008

So there I was, at a complete loss as to what to write about for my last Mirror column ever. I could have made it emotional and nostalgic, but that would be useless.
