Forward Looking Reminiscence

By Robert Butts | May 25, 2006

This Green Key Weekend heralded in a new frame of reference for me, and I would be lying if I claimed it was not unbalancing. As I sat in the living room at Alpha Theta and looked at the throngs of alumni who flocked back to the College for the weekend, I suddenly realized that, come next Green Key, I would be one of them.

The Problems with Being Legal

By Tina Praprotnik | May 23, 2006

As a recent immigrant, I was looking forward to the May 1 campus protest for "A Day Without Immigrants," which promised to highlight the inequities suffered by immigrants and the faults of the U.S.

Leave Your Politics at Home

By Jon Wisniewski | May 23, 2006

Adam Patinkin '07 argues in his guest op-ed on May 18 ("Demanding Our Right to Vote") that the recent measures enacted by the New Hampshire state legislature by HB 1566 are several things: first, that campus bipartisanship which opposes the issue is inherently meaningful; second, that students as members of the community deserve a say in the laws which govern that community and are being stripped of their right to vote; and third, that the law itself is unconstitutional per Symm v.

An Alumni Constitution Clarification

By Martha Hennessey | May 22, 2006

To the Editor: I want to commend The Dartmouth for accurately reviewing most of the details in the May 19 article on the Alumni Council ("Alumni Council to convene, vote on alumni constitution overhaul"). There is one clarification that I believe is important to make, however.

A Metaphorical Bubble

By David Rothenberg | May 22, 2006

On May 8, 9.9 million people watched David Blaine, on live television, hold his breath underwater for slightly over seven minutes. I am not sure which is more astounding -- that he held his breath for that long or that 9.9 million people watched.

Just Read Steph's Column

By Caleb Powers | May 19, 2006

OMFG. We've worked through nearly another whole term and our big weekend is finally here. It's the same routine every term, but there's definitely something special about Green Key.

Steph's So Dartmouth

By Stephanie Herbert | May 19, 2006

I take exception to the term "Big Weekend." When I hear Green Key being referred to as "one of our Big Weekends," my green blood starts to pump faster with indignation.

Confusion in Columbus's Wake

By Zeke Turner | May 18, 2006

Before Christopher Columbus died, he left instructions for his epitaph. The controversial explorer wanted his body to be buried under a stone engraved with the words "Let me not be confused forever." However, to this day, it seems that we are all pretty confused by Columbus, and confused in general for that matter -- especially here at Dartmouth. Last Saturday, those of us who managed to leave the dry solace of our dormitories had a wealth of opportunities on our hands:we could have either walked to Thompson Arena and enjoyed the drumming and dancing of the Pow Wow.

Reflecting on Race Day

By Trey Blincoe | May 17, 2006

In this day and age, it is nice to read a motorsports-related article in the United States that is not centered around NASCAR; however, Sam Rendall's article on Race Day ("Straight From the Mule's Mouth," May 15) completely missed the mark when describing the current state of open-wheel racing in the United States.

Refocusing the Immigration Debate

By Zak Moore | May 16, 2006

As some of the tensions abate, at least temporarily, on the issue of immigration, I have been struck by just how differently the immigration debate has played out on a national scale as compared to here at Dartmouth.

Dartmouth and diets

By Ying Cheng | May 16, 2006

To the Editor: Dartmouth is a decadent, carbohydrate-laden fantasy. I mean, is there really a wrong time here for Everything But Anchovies, Keystone and Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk?

A Truly Diverse Dartmouth?

By Daniel Chiu | May 15, 2006

Recent events on campus, including the rally to support immigrant rights, the uproar over a set of satirical, but racially insensitive posters and the election of Student Body President-Elect Tim Andreadis '07 on a platform that advocated greater inclusion of minorities, show that diversity and the place that minorities have on this campus are important issues that deserve continued discussion and visibility.
