On Sunday night in Afghanistan, weeks of waiting for the fallout of the Sept. 11th incidents came to fruition as a wave of American and British air assaults were launched against the nation. Early reports had cruise missile and B-1, B-2 and B-52 bomber strikes aimed at "carefully targeted" locations such as al Qaeda training camps and Taliban military centers in and around the cities of Kabul, Jalalabad and Kandahar. The campaign represented a joint effort between the United States and Great Britain; several other nations including Germany, Canada, France and Australia provided support through intelligence and logistical means. "There can be no peace in a world of sudden peril ... We did not ask for this mission, but we will fulfill it," President Bush said from the White House at 1:00 p.m.
The Class of 2002 is quietly ushering out an era of yesterday, and is blindly stepping into an unknown era of tomorrow.
The Counting Crows rocked Leede Arena Saturday night, treating the capacity crowd to a sizeable number of new tunes to go along with some, but not all, of the group's old standards. At 8:00 p.m., the crowd suddenly came to life as lead singer Adam Duritz appeared on stage to introduce the opening act, the Actual Tigers. The Actual Tigers, a five-piece group, began with what later seemed as a curious selection for an opening number -- a mellow, flowing song that made an apparent attempt at achieving Pink Floyd's sonorous, enveloping sound.
Freud couldn't do it. "The great question which I have not been able to answer despite my 30 years in research into the feminine soul is, what does a woman want?" If the man with arguably the greatest insight ever into the workings of the human mind couldn't understand women, then what chance do us poor college students have?

Well. Here I am, last in the columnist rotation. For the first time in my Dartmouth career I've read all the Op-Eds of the past two weeks.
Dartmouth's Undergraduate Finance Committee, headed in past years by Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia, will have a new chair this year: Molly Stutzman '02. Stutzman, who also serves as Student Body President, will preside over this year's meetings of the UFC -- the committee charged with allocating funds to eight major campus organizations, and will be its first-ever student chair. Although Stutzman was excited about her appointment, which went into effect this fall following discussions with Sateia during Spring term, she emphasized that the nature of the job precluded any sweeping change for the UFC. "[The UFC] has a very specific charge," Stutzman said.
I haven't been on a single date since I got to school," says '04 Leo Twiggs. "I always figured it was because girls find me difficult to approach." I know the feeling.
Revenge. It's a word that's been tossed around frequently after the unconscionable acts of terrorism perpetuated against the United States.
Russ Lewis, CEO of The New York Times Corp., headlined the first session of the Tuck School of Business Leadership Forum in Cook auditorium yesterday. The event was divided into three acts: a debate, leadership advice from Lewis and questions.

To the Editor: In regard to Troy Blanchard's letter to the editor (Oct. 3) calling for us to become the next "Greatest Generation," it is curious that he still managed to show up for a Fall term that began two weeks after the attacks in NYC and DC, seeing as he is an '05 and had, at the time, little invested in an academic, social life at the College. Secondly, military action of the sort following Pearl Harbor is not what will win this new "war," and any assertion that one's patriotism hinges on enlisting at the drop of a hat (or plane) is, at best, ludicrous.
To the Editor: I knew this kid in elementary school named Sam. He was a really big guy for his age, and because of that, a lot of kids respected him.
Campus recruitment by employers has always been in the form of job fairs and campus interviews. After the events that transpired in New York City, however, seniors at Dartmouth seeking employment will face somewhat limited options this year. The immediate effects of the terrorist attacks have structurally damaged some companies to a degree such that recruiters will not visit Dartmouth. Cantor Fitzgerald is among a few companies that will not recruit at Dartmouth at all this year due to the attacks, according to Asst.

"At 8:48 we heard a very loud but deep rumbling noise." Outside of his north-facing office windows, clear blue sky and glistening sun shone upon the reflecting glass skyscrapers.
"It's 10:28 p.m. Texas time and OU still sucks." That is what ousucks.com read last night on the night before the eve of Saturday's football game between The University of Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma University Sooners. Being lucky enough to call myself "a born-again Texan" (someone who saw the light and moved to Texas before it was too late), it has taken me only a short time to realize what every true Texan learns right after their mother gives birth to them " that OU sucks! Sure, last year OU beat Texas 63-14 in what was a very lopsided game in OU's favor.
This past Saturday, the DWRC overcame high winds at Sachem and prevailed over Brown University by a score of 19-7. The A-Side game featured lots of countgerattacking by the green back three.
