D-Plan Dilemma

|

During my four years here, I have developed a love-hate relationship with Dartmouth. I love the outdoors, the professors and the students.


Opinion

The Death of the Dinner Date

|

In his column "In Search of Intellectualism," (Apr. 12, 2007), Tom Atwood '08 makes a provocative point: "I don't think Dartmouth students are particularly creative or innovative with their thinking, and, as a result, conversations become stale and intellectual apathy ensues." How is this possible in a culture of 30% valedictorians, 15% salutatorians and hundreds of other students who never drank in high school?

Beyond Paying It Forward

|

In her column "Pay It Forward" (Apr. 9) Nina Maja Bergmar offers a misguided solution to a community service "problem" that she has invented by misreading the actions (or inactions) of her fellow students.

The Next Regeneration

|

Most everything that humans have dared to imagine in the distant past has eventually become commonplace in the daily hustle-and-bustle reality of the modern world.

god plays dice

|

We live in a material world. In this world, we are used to dealing with simple physical problems where masses on springs oscillate in a consistent manner and gravity is always 10.

Letter to the Editor: A War of Words?

|

To the Editor: In the 1950s, defenders of the status quo made it a practice on any number of issues (civil rights, colonialism, even fluoridated water!) to label reformers as Communist or anti-American.

Short Answer: SA Moving Forward

|

What is the best thing that the new Student Assembly leaders, Molly Bode '09 and Nafeesa Remtilla '09, can do for the student body in their year in office? They can make Student Assembly interesting again.

Letter to the Editor: College Under Fire

|

To the Editor: As I watch this spring's Alumni Association election from the sidelines, I can't help but observe that it is a contest between two political parties: a pro-College slate led by John Mathias '69 dedicated to ending the litigation launched by the current association's executive committee against Dartmouth and a pro-lawsuit petition slate led by Michael Murphy '61.

Like Straw in a Fire

|

Last Monday, Chabad brought a speaker named Dr. Jacob Zvi Brudoley to campus as part of the second annual Dr. Tzvi Yehuda Saks Memorial Lecture on Torah and Science.


Opinion

Pay It Forward

|

While many of us arrive as freshmen with an undying passion for community service and nonprofit work, we are quickly brainwashed with the Ivy elite's capitalist expectations: Our learning experience is limited to the how-to-become-successful indoctrination that takes place within the Dartmouth bubble, protecting us from real life.


Opinion

A Queer Theory

|

The recent column by Jordan Osserman '11 ("What's In A Name?" Apr. 2) touches on material that is both dangerous to society and has been thoroughly discredited by science.


Opinion

The Don't Plan

|

Spring's arrival doesn't immediately guarantee warm, sunny days here in Hanover, but it does promise the return of a massive number of students who have been off for a term or two, doing everything from trying to save the world to selling out on Wall Street.

If It Ain't Broke ...

|

I have critiqued the College and its administration in the past. The constant theme of my critiques has been a resistance to change.
