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.

Parental Control

To the Editor: As a woman who has been on both sides of the Panhellenic recruitment process -- both as a Potential New Member and an affiliated woman -- I was appalled by the blatant factual inaccuracies that formed the "foundation" of Michael Kreicher '08's "Fixing the Rush Process" (Oct.

Debunking Rush Myths - 1

By Hannah Plotkin | October 15, 2007

To the Editor: In Michael Kreicher '08's article "Fixing the Rush Process" (Oct. 12), I agree with him on a few points: The fraternity recruitment process does exist "in stark contrast" to its female counterpart, the sorority recruitment process is "grueling," and, yes, there is reasoning behind the more formal sorority process, namely that women need a chance to familiarize themselves with houses they typically have not been given the opportunity to visit before.

By Zachary Hyatt | October 14, 2007

A Time for Priorities

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | October 12, 2007

In his speech to the faculty on Monday, College President James Wright identified three goals for the College to pursue in the future: moving toward need-blind admissions for international students; providing one leave term where there are no earning expectations for students; and providing that, for financial aid students studying abroad, the incremental expenses will be covered by scholarship rather than by loan.
