The DM Manual of Style

I am afraid of 2008 celebrity style. While ordinarily I would be first on line to trade places with them, stylistically speaking, this year not so much.

The Mirror Asks: What is your favorite building on campus?

"I think Dartmouth Hall exudes classic New England beauty -- understated yet grand. On another note, I think that Phi Delt is by far the best-looking Greek house -- it's how I always imagined a frat would look." -- Katherine Gorman '08 "Wilson.

Hello Dartmouth!

This issue's topic -- architecture on campus -- holds a special place in my heart. Right next to the place where I store this happy memory: Just over a year ago, my sophomore fall, I decided to pursue my long-standing interest in architecture more concretely and enrolled in Architecture 1.

What's Your Point?

To the Editor: Mr. Ballou's editorial ("Tag, We're 'It'," Jan. 29) was pointless. He claims to have written about the increase in admissions applications to Dartmouth because "I have to write about something or other, and sorority rush inspires me even less." Mr. Ballou is a regular columnist for The Dartmouth, a responsibility he values "for the most part... as an opportunity to promote hate and dissent among the Dartmouth undergraduate population."

Parking Privileges

To the Editor: I am disappointed in the attitudes of those professors quoted in Tuesday's article ("Parking Problems Rile Faculty Members," Jan.

The Super Bowl is an event that encapsulates the American dream -- passion, hope, hard work, cheerleaders, pigs in a blanket, etc. In fact, perhaps the only competitive contest that could eclipse the Bowl would be a Royal Rumble-style cage match between all the presidential candidates juiced up on HGH.

Stuart '01 returns for Glee Club concert

This weekend, the Dartmouth Glee Club will bring back two relics from the past: Laura Choi Stuart '01 and replicas and restorations of 18th-century musical instruments.

The Protest Games

While excitement and anticipation usually precede the Olympics, threats of boycotts and protests are all that loom before this year's summer games in Beijing. The activist group Olympic Dream for Darfur hopes its protests will encourage China to help end the current regime in Sudan.

The Underage of Reason

I have a question for Mr. Tom Alciere, ("Legislation Under the Influence," Jan. 28): Are you serious? Mr. Alciere claims to represent an organization known as Underage Drinkers Against Drunk Driving.
