Can't We All Just Get Along?

By James Alfano | February 1, 2007

You think that we'd be tired of it already. After years of stone-throwing in the halls of Congress, one would assume that both the Dartmouth campus and the American public would be sick of it.

Work-Study Woes

By Bret Vallacher | January 30, 2007

"Classism" is defined by Webster's Dictionary as "prejudice against or in favor of people belonging to a particular socioeconomic class." This College, in all of its endeavors to make itself a symbol of equality, with all of its tirades against the perceived epidemics of hate crimes, with all of its attempts to finally triumph over its sexism, has overlooked one of its most atrocious anathemas -- its blatant classism. Over the past term, I have been applying to all of the jobs that meet my criteria of qualifications for a "good" job: resume builder, non-hectic work environment, decent pay.

Thanks, Safety and Security

By Jon Wisniewski | January 29, 2007

The idea to write this came to me during my last ride in a Safety and Security cruiser. Most of my first eight terms here saw my wild imagination produce myriad conspiratorial metaphors to describe the antagonism, produced by the simple fact of drinking on campus, inherent in the student-Safety and Security relationship.

The SA Farce

By David Day | January 26, 2007

It is official. The Student Assembly is the most worthless organization on campus. However, considering the oh-so-juicy expos on the rebel faction led by former Academic Committee Chair Adam Shpeen '07, the weak defense of his presidency by our President Tim Andreadis '07, and Andreadis' secret manifesto calling for a frat-free world, our worthless and lame Assembly hasn't been this terrible since, well, about 1769. Flashback to two years ago when Assembly President Julia Hildreth '05 got funding to buy new BlitzMail terminals for the school.

An Assembly Divided Cannot Stand

By Tina Praprotnik | January 25, 2007

Inside and outside of Student Assembly, students have long been clamoring for reform. Changes addressing the organization's lacking validity and significance are indeed necessary, but the Assembly must be unified before they are attempted.
