Winter's Exodus

By Chris Talamo | January 20, 2009

For the love of Zeus, where is everyone? During the Fall term, I couldn't go more than five feet without running into somebody, on some occasions literally (if they refused to walk on the right side of the path, as intelligent people should); now, though, it seems like everyone has just simply disappeared.

America Shrugged

By Isaiah Berg | January 16, 2009

An OPAL In The Rough

By Micaela Klein | January 15, 2009

At a college where the size of an office's budget is the best indicator of how important the administration considers it, I am disappointed, but not surprised, by the recent call by members of the student body to start budget cuts with the Office of Pluralism and Leadership. OPAL is an organization that has consistently battled criticism since its inception.

Separation Anxiety

By Nina Maja Bergmar | January 12, 2009

Although Dartmouth brings people of different religions, colors, languages and cultures together, we, the student body, sacrifice the potential benefits of such a diverse campus by segregating ourselves into exclusive groups. As an international student coming from Sweden, I know what it feels like to be an "exception to the rule." I often feel left out, and sometimes wish I had a "Nordic club" to turn to, just to feel a bit more at home. Furthermore, I can understand why not all people are willing to compromise their identity and beliefs by involving themselves in cross-cultural activities; seeing the world from someone else's perspective will inevitably challenge the way you think, and can be extremely frustrating.

Fourth and Long

When the Detroit Lions went 0-16 this year, they made history. Yet when the Dartmouth Big Green football team went winless for the first time since 1883, no one blinked.

Stop the Whoppers

By Sam Buntz | January 7, 2009

Although I'm certain I have found many other commercials more viscerally irritating, I cannot recall a series of ads so obnoxious and insulting to the conscience as Burger King's recent "Whopper Virgins" ad campaign.
