Alternatives to DDS on turkey day

By Jean Ellen Cowgill | November 17, 2006

My grandmother takes Thanksgiving very seriously. Her version of Turkey Day includes mailed, rhyming invitations; a coat-and-tie dress code (for the annual family photo, obvi); intricate table decorations and of course a smorgasbord of good food. The feast ranges from the traditional stuffing and turkey, browned to a golden perfection, to southern traditions like country-fried ham and pecan pie. A roommate once laughed at my photo from the big day -- I believe her reaction was something along the lines of "Martha Stewart and Norman Rockwell on crack." But then she had never eaten chocolate bourbon balls or fudge before I came along, so I'm not sure her opinion is really viable. Alas, the one thing my grandmother's Thanksgiving does not provide is the plane ticket for me to attend.

Making a statement: Sustainable style

By Daisy Freund | November 10, 2006

You don't have to don homegrown hemp clothing to extend environmentalism into your wardrobe. Read on to find out how the fashion world is beginning to make "going green" look good. In case you haven't picked this up from Al Gore or one of the half dozen articles that made the front page of The D this term alone about "sustainability," it's going to take a lifestyle change on our part to clean up the man-made mess of the environment. The term "lifestyle change" is tossed around a lot these days, and it encompasses so many options for alterations and degrees of sacrifice that it can get confusing.

Alice Unchained: Once upon a formal

By Alice Mathias | November 10, 2006

It's that time of the term again! Our houses, teams and improv groups are all forcing us to suspend our inhibitions and search for a costar for our future "Fall Formal OMG!" Facebook photo albums. Formals are funny little events here at Dartmouth.

United for a cause: Feeling good about a binge

By Caleb Powers | November 10, 2006

For the last half-century or so, Dartmouth College has been one of the foremost battlegrounds for the most important and immense conflict of our era: The battle of the old school versus the new school. Once, long ago, Dartmouth was the world's primary point of convergence for "Good Old Boys" from cities across the United States.
