Gah-Gah for Gu

|

Dartmouth does not usually attract a student body that is especially artsy. Located far from major galleries and museums, our College certainly does not claim to be an oasis of visual art.

Goodbye Alumni Trustees?

|

After last year's defeat of the anti-petition-trustee constitution, it was only a matter of time before another attempt would be made to stop the election of the College's popularly elected petitioners. After all, the alumni movement is gaining strength: Stephen Smith '88 won his seat on the Board with a greater number of votes (9,984) and a higher percentage of the voters (54.9 percent) than any previous petition candidate.

Breaking news: Salad dresssing has fat not just at Boloco

|

To the Editor: "Let this serve as a warning to anyone who is at all cautious about a healthy diet -- the next time you're going to eat a 'healthfood' like a salad, do a little research first." The headline of Veronica de Zayas' column ("Boloco is unhealthy for you," May 30) should have read: "Oily salad dressing is unhealthy for you." I thought it was common knowledge that most salad dressings are laced with fat.

Two clicks does not constitute a trick, Boloco critics

|

To the Editor: Regarding Boloco and Veronica de Zayas' claim that "they sneakily bury their nutrition information in their website" ("Boloco is unhealthy for you," May 30) -- I just went there myself and it took a whopping two clicks of my mouse to bring it up. I'm all for editorial hyperbole, but come on ... two clicks?


Opinion

Boloco is a beacon of transparency, not deception

|

To the Editor: I believe Boloco has been anything but dark and deceitful ("Boloco is unhealthy for you," May 30). In fact, because of their being the opposite of that characterization, Boloco is one of the few restaurants at which I can still eat.


Opinion

Misguided Protest

|

When I read online in The Dartmouth that "Nearly 50 professors sign letter in protest of Commencement speaker," I got worried.


Opinion

This, after all, is Dartmouth

|

I really like tradition. Traditions like the Class of 1879 Trumpeters, who announced the beginning of today's Commencement Exercises from the top of Baker Tower.


Opinion

Eccentric Anarchy

|

Two things before you begin reading: Do not prepare yourself for humor (sadly, I do not share the talents of Microsoft Word-based comedians), and this column will likely be confounding or dare I say cynical (?). But you will like it.


Opinion

Petty fights unnecessary in campaigns

|

To the Editor: In response to Beau Trudel '10's misleading letter to the editor ("The true scope of the Obama canvass," May 29), I would like to definitively clear the record. A number of presidential candidates and their New Hampshire campaigns have participated in State Wide Canvasses supported by Dartmouth students, including Sen.


Opinion

Boloco is unhealthy for you

|

I take pride in the fact that I try to eat a healthy, balanced diet. I'm stereotypically one of the regulars at Home Plate and Collis (even though my close friends know I have a weakness for Pavilion cookies and Food Court cupcakes). On the rare occasions when I leave the confines of our secluded campus and venture into the glittering, cosmopolitan world of Main Street, I enjoy the fact that I can introduce a little (very little) variety into my otherwise monotonous diet.


Opinion

More Freedom, More Responsibility

|

As the search for the next Dean of the College nears completion, there is hope that the successor to Acting Dean Dan Nelson '79 will act on a series of administrative issues that for the past year have been the focus of forums, panels and student think tanks.


Opinion

Evaluating College Tradition

|

A recent CNN.com article discussing Dartmouth's recent trustee election ended with this quote by College President James Wright: "For those people who don't like goals that include diversity, that don't include faculty doing scholarship, I'm sorry, but I think those are the best traditions of Dartmouth." What strikes me about this statement is Wright's invocation of tradition.
