You Ponder This Dartmouth
Dear Chris and Anna, With the recent beautiful weather, I've been faced with some tough decisions.

Book: "John, Paul, George & Ben" by Lane Smith Ah! Do you remember Lane Smith, the guy who made "The Stinky Cheese Man"? (If you didn't read this as a child, you = big-time loser). His latest contribution to children's lit is the oh-so-clever "John, Paul, George and Ben" -- a parallel of America's founding fathers to the Beatles (Ben Franklin stands in for Ringo!) The illustrations are (of course) cute and hilarious, and the text is clever enough to cause chuckles from the most lit-snobby of jerkfaces.
For the past year or so, after many failed relationships and crushed hopes, my friends and I have relied on the dream of sophomore summer.
It's said that Hanover is "where romance comes to die." This statement eases the worries of neurotic students like only a glass of warm milk or a corporate internship can.
Book: "Confessions of a Memory Eater" by Pagan Kennedy This novel is short (a good summer requirement) and provocative; its hero, a New Hampshire college professor, comes across a pharmaceutical company that sells a new form of LSD that lets its customers relive any memory they choose.
Dear Anna and Chris, As you probably know, I am a pretty big guy who loves steak. Not steak like Theta Delt, but steak like delicious meat on the barbecue.
ISO: Tall(ish, I'm 5'3" so taller than that), funny, kind, intelligent ... if only I knew what I was in search of.

Dear Hannah and Anna, I've been putting off thinking about graduating all year. This morning, however, during my daily 6 a.m.
'05 AD: "Ninety percent of Dartmouth lingo is stolen from me. Facetime, Facechug, etc." '06 Girls: "Neel, shut up." '05 AD: "Okay fine, but I popularized 80 perrcent of the words that are used on this campus.
When you enter college, people (and by people, I mean your parents' friends) ask you what your major is.
Why is Dartmouth's style evolution so mind-bogglingly slow? My theory: we're all out looking for play and students, male and female, fear that if they wear something risky or fashion-forward they'll scare off their love-interest.
So, it is that time of the year again. The time to say goodbye, so long, adieu, ciao, ma'asaalama ... With graduation on the horizon for a quarter of our school's population, I started to think about my own impending launch into the Real World.
It seems students are making more of an effort in the style department ... and it warms my heart.
I would like to add a delicious diner to the list of eateries enumerated on pages 8 - 9: For the biggest/ best pancakes in the Upper Valley take 1-91 South until exit 10N.
