By Yang Wei Neo | November 10, 2008

The First Coming

By Zachary Gottlieb | November 7, 2008

There were thousands of us, celebrating the arrival of our salvation and Hope. The politically meek came to celebrate inheriting the Earth en masse.

Vox Clamantis: Let's Play By The Rules

By Greg Boguslavsky | November 6, 2008

To the Editor: I was disappointed to read "Students spar over campaign tactics" (Nov. 5). While I am not surprised that the College Democrats' leadership chooses to accuse individuals by name, I am dismayed that The Dartmouth failed to let the accused respond.

Multitaskmastered

By Tom Mandel | November 6, 2008

Cole Ott 12 / The Dartmouth As I sit down to write this column, I'm halfway through my Chaucer reading, almost done catching up on Econ and doing my best to stave off the onslaught of Blitzes reminding me to vote.

The Change We Need

By Brian Solomon | November 5, 2008

It's time that the presidential search committee took a page out of Barack Obama's playbook and started looking for not just another College president who will continue the same policies of the last 10 years but one who embodies, quite simply, the "Change We Need."

Obama For President

By Brice Acree | November 4, 2008

Time On The Bench

By Jacob Batchelor | October 31, 2008

A few weekends ago, I had one of my more memorable Dartmouth experiences -- I sat on a bench. When I left the warm fraternity basement and ventured out into the biting fall air, I'm sure the people I was with thought I was either lame or going to meet a girl.

Thayer Throwdown

By Isaiah Berg | October 30, 2008

I consider myself a fairly reasonable person. I love women and hate sexism. Blitz me. However, I have to admit that I roll my eyes when Dartmouth Dining Services renames "Gingerbread Man" cookies "Gingerbread People." I also think that campus dialogue on gender equality shouldn't be mired in pointless debates over whether some '12 is a "freshman" or a "first-year." But I'd like to leave the political correctness issue to another columnist.
