Wang: Assembling Students

By Ethan Wang | January 23, 2011

I am a complainer. In fact, most students here could accurately be called such, as we have all done our fair share of ranting about the various things that bother us at Dartmouth.

Rasheed: Rebalancing the Playing Field

By Raza Rasheed | January 20, 2011

This past weekend, the National Football League's two top-seeded teams, the New England Patriots (14-2) and the Atlanta Falcons (13-3), were each stunned at home in their playoff openers by white hot bottom-seeded teams.

Kim: Name Change Naivete

By Yoo Jung Kim | January 19, 2011

After reading Lauren Rosenbaum's article, ("What's in a Name?," Jan. 13) I could relate to the author's frustration with Dartmouth's relative obscurity outside of the United States.

Solomon: Assessment Access

By Brian Solomon | January 19, 2011

Few students look forward to the process of choosing courses. Sifting through major plans, distributive requirements, class hours and off terms is hard enough.

Pedde: Politicizing a Tragedy

By Jonathan Pedde | January 18, 2011

Jared Loughner is alleged to have killed six people and wounded 13 others including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the target of the attack in a shooting rampage outside a Safeway in Tucson, Arizona on Jan.

Kantaria: Laptops and Lectures

By Suril Kantaria | January 13, 2011

Some praise the inventions of the computer and internet as two of man's greatest achievements. Innovations that were once used responsibly, however, have become time-sucking distractions.

Rosenbaum: What's in a Name?

By Lauren Rosenbaum | January 12, 2011

In his inaugural address, College President Jim Yong Kim urged Dartmouth students to "think big" and to "embrace the world's troubles as your own." With these lofty goals on the horizon, it's time the College looks outside of the Hanover bubble and embraces its growth as a leading university. The first time I noticed the significance of Dartmouth's designation as a "college" rather than a "university" was when I interned for an agricultural research institute in Nairobi.

Buntz: Sufi Solidarity

By Sam Buntz | January 12, 2011

I have previously written that the war in Afghanistan has gone on for far too long. I still feel like that's true but I don't think the reason that Americans are only half-heartedly supporting this war is the absence of a truly evil enemy.

Short Answer

By The Dartmouth Opinion Staff | January 11, 2011

Friday's Verbum Ultimum discussed the search for a permanent dean of the College. What criteria should the search committee prioritize in choosing the next dean? If Dartmouth is serious about changing, it is logical to bring in new blood, as those who have spent many years in the community will naturally tend to conduct business as usual.

Chemplavil: Dumb at Dartmouth

By Sapna Chemplavil | January 11, 2011

As I make my way through senior year one question persists: has Dartmouth made us smarter? One could argue that we're at the best undergraduate institution in the country and in our vanity assume that we will leave here smarter than when we came.

Opinion

Blair: Following the Example

By Peter Blair | January 10, 2011

In remarks about the search for the next Dean of the College, College President Jim Yong Kim noted that he wanted somebody for the job who will do exciting things with student life.

Opinion

Clark: The Not-So-Democratic Party

By Charles Clark | January 9, 2011

The left's reaction to the midterm elections has been remarkably illiberal. Although I have heard the occasional sportsmanly concession to the "will of the people" from my left-leaning friends, I hear much more often about the "frustration" or "anger" of the people.

Opinion

Lott: What About Washington?

By Roger Lott | January 9, 2011

Last Thursday, Dartmouth kicked off a nearly month-long Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration that comprises 26 events and will climax with the cancellation of classes on Jan.
