Waiting to Meet

By Abbye Meyer | January 22, 2002

When you trip on the stairs after meeting with a professor, when you realize too late that something huge is caught in your mass of hair, and when your stomach accidentally makes a weird noise during something important, you start to pay attention to the small things. When you're stuck with three hours between classes and nothing scheduled but daydreams, when you're convinced that you're crappy at whatever it is you love to do and when you're sure that true love is meant for everyone but you, you have no other option but to think about the small things. Sometimes, it seems, everything big has gone wrong, and the future -- perhaps the biggest thing of all -- is sure to follow in that routine of mistakes.

Understanding Kashmir

By Imran Sharih | January 18, 2002

Hemant Joshi's Jan. 15 column in The Dartmouth, "India-Pakistan: At a Standstill," is an exercise in simplistic and uninformed commentary.

A Pretzel-Defense Shield?

By Jonathan Lu | January 17, 2002

And just think, all it may have taken was a pretzel. This normally innocuous baked good became the primary topic of American newscasts Monday, as it almost brought about the untimely demise of President George W.

Resolution to Action

By Sean Oh | January 17, 2002

Cash is Still King

By Sam Stein | January 16, 2002

Oh, to live the life of a college administrator. There seems to be something so simplistic about your job that makes everyone believe that they're qualified to replace you.

India-Pakistan: At a Standstill

By Hemant Joshi | January 15, 2002

Since the British partition of India in 1947 into mostly Muslim Pakistan and mostly Hindu India, tensions on the South Asian subcontinent have remained dangerously high amid fears that the two nuclear powers will go to war because both want control of the Indian state of Kashmir and because both have nothing better to do.

Food Court Fun

By Jeff Deck | January 14, 2002

In these overcrowded days, even the act of grabbing a bite to eat can feel like a chore. Who among us has not been witness to the surging masses of people stifling Food Court at prime meal time (6 to 7:30 p.m.)? I and hundreds of others have felt buffeted by the throngs, have traveled through the bane of claustrophobics in that basic quest for sustenance.

Hope for Israel

By The Dartmouth | January 11, 2002

By Mohamad Bydon '01 In her Jan. 10 column in The Dartmouth, entitled "Israelis and Palestinians: Fighting for Existence," Ana Bonnheim writes that the Palestinians must "meet the necessary goal of recognizing the state of Israel's right to exist." While the Palestinians did in fact recognize Israel's right to exist in the 1993 Oslo Accords, a general perception remains that the majority of Palestinians want nothing short of the destruction of the state of Israel.
