Gollum-in-Chief

By Andrew Hanauer | February 13, 2003

After the State of the Union address and the lackluster Democratic response, I found myself watching a focus group organized by Republican pollster Frank Luntz in response to Bush's address.

It's funny -- after reading recent columns in the Dartmouth I feel like I'm trapped inside a Dartmouth version of "The Matrix." I keep hearing that oracular, all-knowing voice -- that of Morpheus -- stalking me.

War of the Roses

By Tanisha Keshava | February 12, 2003

It's that time of year again. Love is in the air and everywhere you turn, you can't help but be attacked by pink and red in every shape and form.

Peace In Our Time

By Matt Soriano | February 11, 2003

I have to admire the anti-war crowd. I mean, they've got such media luminaries as Ramsey Clark, Jane Fonda, Alec Baldwin, Dan Rather and Barbara Streisand on their side.

What's the Big Deal?

By Nicholas Rule | February 11, 2003

A few weeks back I was leaving Food Court when one of my friends referred to a girl he knew as "a fat bitch." I can't deny the fact that the girl was rather loud, somewhat obnoxious, and maybe this would qualify her as "a bitch," but the "fat" remark was what stood out to me most.

Men, Take Some Responsibility

By Steven Zyck | February 10, 2003

Every time one of these big Dartmouth weekends comes, I begin to feel a bit afraid. In my three years at Dartmouth I have gotten used to the patterns and stories -- the half-forgotten nights, near-death cases of alcohol poisoning, the cases of sexual assault and the trickle of students heading into Dick's House to deal with mistakes committed and violations experienced that weekend.

Suck It Up

By Vanessa Frey | February 6, 2003

A whimpering attitude has spread faster than pink eye and infected the entire campus. I do not understand this phenomenon.

Keeping Winter Carnival Alive

By Daniel Ng | February 6, 2003

Winter Carnival, it seems, is on life support. The keg jump was canned some years ago because of insurance, or lack of it.

Not Only For Students

By Julia Hildreth | February 5, 2003

To the Editor: There were a number of errors in the yesterday's article, "SA to Monitor Investments," regarding the newly created Committee on Investor Responsibility.

All Good Things Must Pass

By Abigail Drachman-Jones | February 5, 2003

Some people spend their afternoons in the library. Some in play rehearsal (or your extracurricular activity of choice). Others in class.

A Humanitarian Side to War?

By Graham Roth | February 5, 2003

With the public growing skeptical that Iraq poses a serious, immediate threat to the United States, and the UN weapons inspectors still without the hard evidence that would theoretically justify war, the war-heads have turned much of their rhetoric to the humanitarian benefits of invading Iraq.

Stop the Presses (For Good)

By Kabir Sehgal | February 5, 2003

I like LeBron James. He is fast and furious, dynamic and dexterous on the brown hardwood floors. He is the 6'7", 215 lbs.

Budget Sense

By Kevin Carmody | February 4, 2003

Since the administration's announcement that the varsity swimming and diving teams would not be eliminated, the fervor surrounding Dartmouth's budget has subsided.

Art and Advertising

By Nathaniel Fisher | February 4, 2003

To the Editor: In his article "Advertising Down for the Count?" (The Dartmouth, Jan. 22), Kabir Sehgal states that today's advertising has lost its effectiveness because it relies more on art than on content.

America's Greatness

By Brian Nick | February 4, 2003

Our nation is in the early stages of mourning over the tragedy of the Space Shuttle Columbia. The student body here at Dartmouth is too young to remember the Challenger explosion in 1986, so most of us have always taken the safety of space travel for granted.

By Robert Butts | February 3, 2003

America's conflict with Iraq now approaches the endgame. On Feb. 5 -- two days from today -- Secretary of State Colin Powell will go before the United Nations Security Council to make, for the final time, the case for war with Iraq.
