The Cramming Mentality

By Andrew Clay | July 5, 2010

With each new term come fresh term papers. Common among social science and humanities courses, these papers often replace the final exam and serve as a culmination of the material covered in the course.

A Leisurely Summer

By Peter Blair | July 5, 2010

Raza Rasheed '12 seemed very distressed in his recent column about the egregious fraud that is perpetrated on students during sophomore Summer ("Sophomore Summer Swindle," June 29). While I share his concern about the dining options this term which, anyway, are not intrinsic to sophomore Summer, but are a temporary imposition on our class this term I think he really overstates his case. For one thing, if sophomores are really as badly swindled as he suggests, Dartmouth students, both past and present, should have noticed it by now.

One International Leak

Sophomore Summer Swindle

By Raza Rasheed | June 28, 2010

In news that will surprise absolutely no one, "the Dartmouth Experience" is extremely expensive. Students pony up an average of over $18,500 per term to enjoy Dartmouth's world-class educational opportunities, high quality dining facilities, diverse residential options and yes, the intangible mystique, charm and culture of a campus steeped in over two and a half centuries of tradition.

Too Close to Call

By Allie Lowe | June 10, 2010

I'm going to say this at the outset and hope that you'll keep the bar appropriately low: I have spent the last few weeks totally terrified of writing this column. Before I go any further, let me say this for those of you who don't know me it's not that I scare particularly easily. If there is one thing I've learned to do at Dartmouth, it's been to speak my mind.

The Engines of Creation

By Josh Kornberg | June 1, 2010

Last September, Ellen Waite-Franzen, vice president of information technology and the College's chief information officer, spoke to The Dartmouth about the search for a new e-mail client to replace our antiquated BlitzMail system ("BlitzMail replacement delayed," Sept.

Senior Class Rift

By Zachary Gottlieb | June 1, 2010

This is the last time my voice will grace the pages of The Dartmouth. After over 50 columns of wrestling with Wheelock, poking fun at our absurdity, complaining and advocating and at last, growing playful in my nostalgia, you meet me here at my last article. In my valedictory, I wanted to say how proud I am that 99.9 percent of us gave to the Senior Class Gift ("Class of 2010 sets record with 99 percent donating," June 2). That all but one student donated something to represent their time here is truly an incredible feat. I wanted to convince you, holdout '10, that there was something about this place that's worth one symbolic dollar that while you defend your principled crusade against donation, many others may have had the same feeling, but realized it was driven by a baser emotion.
