Paradise Lost

|

To the Editor: Every so often I happen upon one of those moving accounts of unique courage and personal strength that just make my heart go all aflutter with reestablished faith in humanity.

Spring Rush

|

To the Editor: Friday's article "Panhell, IFC kick off winter rush" (The Dartmouth, Jan. 10) did an excellent job of delineating the various formal recruitment processes currently underway and open to all eligible students interested in Greek life.

Opening Doors

|

You won't get financial aid unless you're below the poverty line. Forget Dartmouth,you should apply to the University of Texas. There has always been a burning feeling of resentment in my stomach for my high school guidance counselor, who spoke these nave words to me almost five years ago.

To the Editor: Speculation is a thriving phenomenon in our society. At best, it can be a constructive force to generate potentially plausible explanations and then to test them for accuracy and efficacy.

Ten Ways to Think About Work

|

The choice of an occupation remains one of life's great mysteries. Somehow, after 22 years of "seemingly unprofitable meandering" (to use John Gardner's phrase), upon graduation one is expected to suddenly chart a clear course for the future.

Field of Dreams

|

Today is Jan. 7, 2003, a little early, one would guess, to start thinking about the November 2004 election.

Whose School Is This?

|

I love Dartmouth as much as anyone, but I've always been bothered by the great disparity between how much the College fawns over us and praises us as high school seniors, only to patronize us for the duration of our experience here.


Opinion

An Alarming Trend

|

To the Editor: Collegiate swimming in the United States is under assault. When I started coaching at the collegiate level almost 30 years ago, there were over 350 Division I Men's Swimming programs.


Opinion

A Financial Solution

|

To the Editor: I have read with regret the story of yet another swim program's demise. It is farcical that the administration at Dartmouth speciously attributes the "necessity" for this action to a lack of financial resource.
