By Michael Xiao Before you take anything I write seriously in this article, let me tell you a story about myself.

SELF CALL

|

Its hard to avoid making self-calls at a place like Dartmouth. For one, we all turned down Harvard to come here.

Inside This Issue

We are an intelligent bunch, or so they lead us to believe, and we all have passions, talents and awesome stories to share -- so I don't get this recent trend of censoring our discourse by uttering, or at times, shouting, "self callll." I am afraid we limit our ability to express our true selves by confining conversation topics to anything but ourselves.

Hearing that DDS was going to cap my Topside spending at $100 crushed me. What will happen to my late-night splurges on Ben and Jerry's and Goldfish?

Haute Hufft: Where's the winter wonderland?

|

I fear for the freshmen, I really do. I fear that they have accepted this term's weather as the norm for a Dartmouth Winter. I feel a bit like an old lady talking to my grandkids about my six-mile walks to school through blizzards and ice storms that they just "couldn't understand". But sometimes being a senior feels like being an old lady (too bad I can't get a double discount -- senior citizen and student -- at the movies). And I want to make sure the younguns around here "get it". (Note: I'm really only saying this because I'm jealous that you have three more years here.) As much as I hate the cold and I hate the salt on my pants, the Dartmouth Winter is something every Dartmouth student must embrace.

Matt the Movies: Popping Woody

|

The past decade or so has not been kind to Woody Allen. Not only does he have to put up with constant late-show-host-type pedophilia jokes and the Knicks' gradual descent into Hell, but the same snobby, pretentious, New York-based critics that ate up his past films about snobby, pretentious New Yorkers started saying no to things like "Celebrity," "Hollywood Ending," "Anything Else," and, lest I forget (and I'd really like to), "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion." The Woody shtick that has made him perhaps the greatest American director of his generation started to seem stale.

Wake me up before you go go

We've all heard it: Nobody dates at Dartmouth. This is where relationships come to die. Or perhaps you were told that you would meet your future husband or wife in the span of these precious four years?

Alice Unchained: NRO-ing last night

|

"The Morning After." Cue: Elliot Smith's "Say Yes," please. Okay, now dim those lights. This is gonna be deep, peeps. When our editor politely suggested that I discuss the theme of this week's Mirror in today's "Unchained!!! (RAHH!)" my immediate reaction was, "Yeah, sweet!
