Mid-Term Crisis

|

I don't know about everyone else, but I have grown increasingly disillusioned with classroom learning since I came to Dartmouth.

Eating My Words

|

I thought Dartmouth would allow me to feel unashamed by hyperbolic language that I, a handsome and compelling fact-eschewing columnist, could revel in the commedia and tragedia of an opinion article.

Electing the Owner

|

As Dartmouth faces another trustee election, long before choosing which candidate to back, many alumni will decide it's not worth going to the polls.

Sounding Board

|

Apparently, there is a storm a-brewin'. Reading the pages of The Dartmouth, one would think that there is an epic battle taking shape.

A Misandrist Mistake

|

As I read "Too Few Good Men" (Feb. 22) by Blair Sullivan '10, I came upon the statement, "males have never been the victims of systematic discrimination." Such a boldly stated assertion must be true, even if it invalidates the gross injustice that men have faced historically and continue to face today.

Short Answer: Budget Cuts Response

|

Friday's Verbum Ultimum addressed some campus groups' responses to the recent budget cuts. What do you think the role of students, faculty and other community members should be at this time? College President Jim Yong Kim, acting Provost and Dean of the College Carol Folt and Senior Vice President Steven Kadish displayed compassionate leadership by donating a percentage of their salaries to create the Hardship Fund.

Admitting Our Flaws

Every so often, a highly publicized scandal or drastic new policy rises to the surface and causes us to turn our attention to the problems on Webster Avenue.

Bored of Trustees

Since I first arrived at Dartmouth in the Fall of 2007, I have been vaguely aware that there is a conflict swirling around the um, Board of Trustees or something?

Votin' Time

|

President Barack Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel once said, "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste." The announcement of the new Hanover Police alcohol policy unleashed nothing short of a crisis for Dartmouth's Greek life, which represents a large segment of the Dartmouth student body.

Shots in the Dark

Well, at least now we are all on the same page. When Hanover Police Chief Nicholas Giaccone announced the delay to his undercover alcohol "sting operations" plan last week ("Hanover Police delay implementing policy," Feb.

Diagnosis for Dick's House

Recently, a nurse practitioner at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center informed me that I had a "classic case" of bronchitis my second in only a few months.

Time to Grow Up

|

As anybody with an ear to hear knows, the current budget shortfall and the various suggestions as to how to fix it are highly sensitive and controversial topics.

Filibuster This

|

In this hyperpartisan era, where gridlock is the norm and legitimate compromise happens only within the dominant ruling coalition rather than between the two parties, the filibuster is the single worst aspect of our rotting corpse of a government.

21st Century Poetry

|

Watching the Super Bowl last weekend, I was reminded of our preoccupation with technology. Six high tech cameras were used to film the action, the game was broadcast online in 10 different languages and the halftime show stage lights were almost amazing enough to make me forget about The Who's lethargic performance.
