Recycling To Riches

By Spenser Mestel | October 10, 2008

Expecting the frats to suddenly start recycling is like my fantasy of running table during Homecoming weekend while beautiful and wealthy female alumnae chant my name and throw their Hanover Inn room keys at me -- both scenarios are possible but highly improbable. I don't write this to single out or criticize the Greek system, something that has unfairly been done thousands of times and to no avail.

Class Cuts

By Sam Buntz | October 9, 2008

At Dartmouth College, we have an ongoing discussion about the role of race in our community. The discussion perennially waxes and wanes.

Party Lines, Laugh Lines

By Suzanne Lehrer | October 8, 2008

I remember reading somewhere, in a tribute to Tim Russert, an account given by Tom Brokaw in which he remembered Russert calling him in the middle of the night and asking incredulously: Do you believe they're paying us for this year? "This year" referring, most likely, to 'the year a lot more people decided caring about the election was the cool thing to do -- and hey, also really good comedy.' If only Russert could have seen what that pre-primaries political excitement has turned into. The stream of jokes that this year's election has generated is unprecedented, though not exactly uncalled for.

In one of my favorite Simpsons episodes, Homer -- after having a fortuitous run-in with an inflatable cow -- joins the music festival "Hullabalooza," where he tours as a sideshow act.

Dennis Has His Day

By Jordan Osserman | October 2, 2008

On September 28, Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich spoke on the floor of the House in regards to the proposed $700 billion Wall Street bailout, asking, "Is this the United States Congress or the board of directors of Goldman Sachs?" For once, Congress took seriously the words of the idealistic presidential hopeful -- a man who would have been the laughingstock of the 2008 Dartmouth Democratic Debates had Mike Gravel not stolen his limelight.

The Right Route To Respect

By Ming Keong Lee | October 1, 2008

Nina Maja Bergmar '11's "Peace, Love and Respect" (Sept. 29) is an exercise in self-righteous writing, succeeding only at browbeating and berating its audience into anything but agreement with the premises of the piece. Far be it from me to deny that sexism remains a problem at Dartmouth -- it is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed.

Vox Clamantis: Woman's right to choose

By Alessandra Necamp | September 30, 2008

To the Editor: In "Peace, Love and Respect" (Sept. 29), Nina Maja Bergmar '11 writes about male domination at Dartmouth, saying that "While it's quite logical that women are in charge at Smith [College], since they comprise 100 percent of the student body, it is illogical to me how much power men at Dartmouth have over women, despite their equality in numbers." Wait a second.

The Unaffiliated Path

By Dmitriy Gutkovich | September 30, 2008

Even though most sophomore males have by now either decided to be unaffiliated or are choosing a house based on existing friendships, atmosphere or post-college benefits, there always exists a small portion of campus for which the really hard decision is whether or not to pledge.
