Let's get our vocab right, here

By Liz Kolleeny | October 23, 2007

We, the residents of 9 Prospect St. (Liz Kolleeny '08, Anna Stone '08, Ty Moddelmog '08, Lauren Penneys '08, Ursula Grisham '08, Emmett Knox '08 and John Fleischer '08), are usually huge fans of Maggie Severns-O-Neill's words of wisdom in her weekly column "Cheat Sheet."

Throw the Bums Out

By Shaun Stewart | October 22, 2007

By Denise Hotta-Moung | October 21, 2007

The protests in Burma are not going to have a direct effect on the Burmese military government. It would be naive of the demonstrators to believe that the government will be even remotely inclined to respond to the people's requests.

Fight to Rush the Field

By Shaun Stewart | October 19, 2007

Ah, Homecoming. A chance to come together as a school, get drunk and burn things. Seriously, though, Homecoming is probably my favorite big weekend, and for the freshman class, it is a right of passage into Dartmouth woman- and manhood. First some practical advice: wear long pants and long sleeved shirts to the bonfire.

Hey Alumni, What About Us?

By Brian McMillan | October 19, 2007

On behalf of Palaeopitus Senior Society, I would like to voice our group's deep concern regarding the current debate over alumni governance, and especially the lack of interest in the sentiments of the most important constituency affected by this controversy: Dartmouth students themselves.

Wenda Gu, Who are You?

By Caleb Ballou | October 19, 2007

I have what might be some rather depressing news for Mr. Wenda Gu, if indeed he is the D reader I always suspected him to be: I have neither spoken to, nor heard of, or from a single person who enjoys your multi-million-dollar imposition into the middle of our library.

By Aaron Schlosser | October 18, 2007

The College on the Hill is an idyllic setting for an education and for the formation of life-long bonds of friendship, but I and many others were ready to move on when we graduated.

The Art of the Fratty Girl

By Suzanne Lehrer | October 18, 2007

As this year's beloved Homecoming weekend approaches, in sync with perfect fall weather and visibly heightened anticipation, I can't help but feel nostalgic as I remember my own freshman Homecoming weekend, when I was so naive, and so utterly clueless.

Is AlcoholEdu Necessary?

By Daniel Belkin | October 16, 2007

Did you know that mental blackouts result from trauma to the hippocampus in the brain? Following in the footsteps of their upperclass predecessors, members of the Class of 2011 learned this fun fact, along with countless others, as they fulfilled their summer-before-college rite of passage and began AlcoholEdu, the three-hour online course that teaches freshmen about drinking and personal safety.
