By Yoo Jung Kim | August 11, 2011

Last week, Princeton Review and Forbes released their college rankings, unleashing the perennial wave of anxiety through college-bound students everywhere.

A Shameful Bubble

By Ethan Wang | August 8, 2011

This week, I came across one of the most disturbing images I have ever seen. On the front page of Tuesday's New York Times was a picture of a little boy starving to death, reduced to a thin sheet of skin clinging to a clearly visible skeleton.

Recruiting Choice

By Brendan Woods | August 4, 2011

It is my firm opinion that the Leading Voices in Politics and Policy lecture series will, if it continues, go down as one of President Kim's greatest achievements as Dartmouth's president.

Kim: Whither the Liberal Arts?

By Yoo Jung Kim | August 1, 2011

Dartmouth distinguishes itself from its Ivy League peers through its adherence to liberal arts education, touting on its website that its course load is "structured to maximize your understanding of the world in ways that enable you to be a leader in your future work." During President Kim's inauguration, the College added another adage to its publicity arsenal by challenging its students to "aspire to change the world." It's time for the College to own up to its words.

Summer Editorial Board: Advice on Advising

As new Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson spends her first few weeks familiarizing herself with Dartmouth and assessing student needs, we hope she focuses particular attention on reforming the advisory system, which, in its current form, fails to meet the needs of the student body. The College has already indicated that it intends to reform the advising system.

Iturrey: Pluses and Minuses of Google+

By Alesy Iturrey | July 25, 2011

Like most college students, I love social networking. Facebook keeps me in touch with everyone I've ever been lucky enough to meet and Twitter provides me with constant updates about the news, local events, celebrity happenings and cultural information.

Hunter: It's Personal

By Max Hunter | July 21, 2011

While reading Tuesday's paper, the opinion page caught my eye more specifically Peter Blair's column ("A Change of Plans," July 19). His tirade against the immorality of Planned Parenthood read like a great screenplay, cast with salacious characters like "The Baby-Killer" and "The Money Launderer" and "The Statutory-Rape-Facilitator" (that one doesn't quite roll of the tongue, but I'm working on it). As amusing as it was to hear how the local New Hampshire branches of Planned Parenthood "accept donations explicitly earmarked for the abortions of African-American children" can you imagine that tasty scene in the hands of someone like Spielberg or Michael Bay?! the article brought to the foreground a more troubling issue facing our society today. Legislating morality cannot be done.

Woods: Cluster Continuity

By Brendan Woods | July 18, 2011

Dartmouth is often slow to pick up on trends The College on the Hill is usually set in its ways, reluctant to pick up on crazy fads such as giving extra class credit for labs, Greek reform and a Board of Trustees that includes people other than MBAs.
