Education City

By Nina Maja Bergmar | February 26, 2008

Our "bearers of democracy" have adopted a new strategy to expand American influence: American universities are conquering the minds of the young Middle Eastern elite as they venture abroad. An enclave of American universities called "Education City" has become a new gathering spot for Middle Eastern upper-class youths in search of higher education.

Jack and Jill: An Uphill Battle

By Lydia Chammas | February 26, 2008

Lots of things have been said about the Dartmouth Woman: She can drink as much as any frat boy but look good while doing it, sink a pong cup and hook up without expecting the courtesy of a morning-after Blitz.

The Lost Art of Respect

By Evan Meyerson | February 25, 2008

I am convinced there is an epidemic at Dartmouth: there must be some medical explanation for how some of the nation's brightest students transform into Neanderthals each and every Friday around 8 p.m.

By Lucy Stonehill | February 25, 2008

By Phil Aubart | February 22, 2008

The Wright Fix

By Joseph Asch | February 21, 2008

Where do we go from here? With President Wright leaving office in 14 months, the procedure for choosing his replacement merits close scrutiny.

The Selectivity Corps

By Daniel Belkin | February 21, 2008

Have you been turned down by Teach for America? Did DREAM stop responding to your blitzes? Did the Peace Corps laugh at you? Nowadays, cutthroat competition is no longer reserved for the high-rolling analyst positions of lower Manhattan.

Executive Recruiting

By Nathan Bruschi | February 20, 2008

The common explanation for George W. Bush's election and re-election was that he was the candidate "voters would rather have a beer with" (even though Bush is a recovering alcoholic and does not drink). Today, comparison between Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has been greatly sidetracked by voters' subjective, personal and arbitrary emotional reactions.

Big Brother Day

By Brian Solomon | February 19, 2008

Constant and complete surveillance is no longer material for a good science-fiction read or a paranoid joke: last Tuesday, Big Brother arrived. An FBI announcement and separate Senate vote -- both of which were buried in the news cycle behind primary coverage and Roger Clemens's testimony on steroids -- quietly made February 12, 2008 an infamous day in the history of this country.

There's No Place Like Home

By D'Arcy Danychuk | February 18, 2008

Lately I've been preoccupied with this whole rest-of-the-world business. One of the more lamentable side effects of being a senior here is that soon I'll have to graduate and either find a job or a rich wife who's willing to support me.

Glass Ceiling, Glass Floor

By Daniel Chiu | February 18, 2008

In one of the more poignant scenes in the hit "Knocked Up" (2007), Paul Rudd's character Pete, after having been caught ditching his wife to hang out with his male buddies, laments, "With work and you and the kids, sometimes I just need some time to myself." Choking back tears, his wife Debbie replies, "I want time for myself too.

Off-Campus, Not Off-Shoring

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | February 15, 2008

Since the early 1960s when Dartmouth created the first foreign-study opportunities for undergraduates, spending a term abroad has become a part of nearly every D-Plan - roughly 60 percent of Dartmouth students will spend at least one term abroad before they graduate.
