All That's Green Is Not Gold

By Claire Murray | August 12, 2008

Abhorrent Entertainment?

By Ben Gifford | August 5, 2008

These are exciting times we live in: oil prices have hit staggering heights, multiple economies are standing on the brink of recession and our imminent Olympic host just can't seem to stop violating basic human rights. Despite the gravity of these international headlines, another highly-publicized event, admittedly of a different kind, has captivated me in recent days.

Passing the Buck

By Zachary Gottlieb | August 1, 2008

Have you ever paid for a chicken breast from Food Court with real dollar bills? When is the last time you paid for a drink and tipped the bartender at a frat, or checked your administrative fees balance on BannerStudent? We are all consumers in the Dartmouth microcosm -- which is an implicit result of the capitalistic model.

Good Faith, Bad Faith

By Nathan Bruschi | July 29, 2008

Black Holes in Dallas

By Phil Aubart | July 22, 2008

Of course, I am not politically correct. This is not to say that I don't understand political correctness, or that I don't think it has some place in civilized society, but I am against the way it has been obnoxiously spread and applied to everything nowadays. I completely agree that things such as racial slurs and epithets have no constructive use in society.

Irony? In the The New Yorker?

Vox Clamantis: Profane? You're Insane!

By Brian May | July 11, 2008

To the Editor: As Editor-in-Chief of the Dartmouth Free Press, I am writing in response to Sam Buntz's most recent opinion column ("Profane Tank," July 1). While I take issue with many of Buntz's claims, I am most concerned that he feels the "principal failing" of our "Fck that Shit" column lies in its mistaking "the f-word and its kin as being humorous in and of themselves." Though I often do find profanity hilarious, especially when it ruffles the feathers of prudes, I can assure Buntz that we do not intend our "Fck that Shit" to leave our readers "giggling" or in a state of "shock" -- and we certainly do not intend for it to add any "clear and logical" argument to our campus discourse. Instead, "Fck that Shit" exists solely as a rant column for our writers to complain about issues that bother them on campus while inevitably parodying excessive profanity.

The Return of Heroes

By Sam Buntz | July 11, 2008

Superheroes have become mass entertainment again. This isn't really news: anyone who has gone to the movies at anytime in the past 10 years has surely noticed the proliferation of masked crusaders on the big screen, making the leap from ink to actor. Why have superheroes suddenly regained the popularity they once had?
