By Mark Herman | May 25, 2004

The Blend, Topside attract student workers at DDS

By Anna Parachkevova | May 25, 2004

Editor's note: This is the third in a multi-part series on employment conditions for students at the College. Thayer Dining Hall, home to several campus dining facilities, is a place for those looking to make money as well as for those looking to spend it. The Blend and Topside convenience store are two of the most popular spots for student customers, as well as for a disproportionately high number of student employees who choose to work there. The unequal distribution of student employees within Dartmouth Dining Services stems from student preferences for less work-intensive jobs rather than a product of DDS efforts to match the nature of the work with students' qualifications, employees said. "They pick that because there is less to do there," full-time DDS employee Joska Reid said.

Baseball's early season surprises begin to pan out

By David Zylberberg | May 25, 2004

Around now, the awful stats dismissed as "slumps" in April take on a worrisome import. After all, it's a quarter of the way into the season, and the freakish stats of April (remember when Barry Bonds was hitting .500?) have regressed to reality.

No Stigma to Mental Illness

To the Editors: There is no "stigma" to mental illnesses (The Dartmouth, "Arthur '06 struggles with stigma of mental illness," May 18). Your employment of the term is unconscionable.

By Alix Cody | May 24, 2004

In a perhaps-unprecedented occurrence, Dartmouth's campus has become inundated with bugs, as thousands of caterpillars have emerged to swarm the walls of Dartmouth Hall, block entryways and drop from the trees onto the heads of unsuspecting students. "I've been here 28 years.

By Kristen Kelley | May 24, 2004

Add a mud fight, a few beers and more committed participants to the scene at Dartmouth's Memorial Field Friday night, and the torrential downpour may have provoked a reenactment of Alpha Delta fraternity's Green Key lawn party. Early Friday evening, participants in the first annual Relay for Life set up sleeping bags, tents and food stations to stay overnight at the track.

By Gwendolyn Carroll | May 24, 2004

To the Editor: In the "Verbum Ultimum" of May 21, the editors write that "students at Dartmouth are generally intelligent and worldly enough to recognize the potential pitfalls of gambling and avoid them." Compulsive gambling, much like alcoholism or abuse of narcotics, is an addiction, and avoiding such addiction is not a matter of intelligence or worldliness.
