Vox Clamantis: An Apology

To the Editor: I would like to express my concern for Dartmouth students who were pained by the recent student party "Hip Hop in the Hood" on April 11 held in conjunction with the opening of the exhibition, "Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the African Body."

Voces Clamantium: Not Fit For Print

To the Editor: Although I don't know Bonnie Lam '10 personally, nor Alex Felix '08 or James Bleuer '08, I was angered by the BlarFlex comic in The Dartmouth Thursday.

Verbum Ultimum: The Real Stakes

If it hasn't become painfully clear already, the upcoming Association of Alumni executive committee election has devolved into a bitter us-versus-them strife between the petitioners and the administration-backed slate over who actually loves Dartmouth. Admittedly, obnoxious tactics are part and parcel of every political campaign, but this AoA election is shrouded in more than its fair share of polarizing and alarmist rhetoric.

Editor's Note

In Thursday's edition of The Dartmouth, an editorial cartoon was published on page six that failed to meet the newspaper's standards for respectful expression, offending many of our readers and indeed those of us who serve on the newspaper's Editorial Board. The cartoon, BlarFlex, which has appeared regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays this term, has been discontinued.

The DM Manual of Style

I have trouble focusing on class lately. Like many of you, I've found myself packing up my book bag with texts, notes, my computer and a beach towel to go and "do work" since it's gorgeous outside.

Sunshine Blotter

I, Rembert Browne, am 98% sure I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. I know this because this past week -- my horrendous midterms week -- I have never been happier in my life.

Reboot and Rally

Falling in Love with the Green Again

Well, my friends, it's back. The Green has returned. We've stomped across the snow and slush for two terms now.

Breaking Through: Senior Spring Break-Up Blitz

Oh the joys of senior spring. It's a time to celebrate your reckless youth one last time before the ruthless thrust into that proverbial belly of the beast: the "real world." While many seniors will spend the last few months carefree, skipping their ENGS 5 class every day, lounging out in the sun and stumbling along nostalgia lane in an alcohol-induced haze, there is also another, slightly more panicked group.

Counterpoint: Stay in Hanover

When I first sunk my bid to come to Dartmouth, I was convinced that I would spend at least one of my terms abroad.

Point: Study Abroad

The study abroad experience makes your years at Dartmouth worthwhile. There, I've said it. It's just undeniable fact, a kernel of truth that can only be known by the select few -- or rather the majority of Dartmouth students -- who spend 10 weeks somewhere else for a change.
