Dartmouth Exposed!

By Dan Galemba | August 1, 2001

As I tried to come up with a topic with which to enlighten incoming freshmen, having started writing my column about two hours before the deadline, I searched on thedartmouth.com (I suggest you frequent it over the summer, it will help excite and prepare you for Dartmouth) for the column I wrote for the Freshman Issue last summer to give myself some ideas, or, should the need arise, repeat myself completely.

Throw out everything you've been sent. Ignore everything you've been told. I'm the only advice-monger you need consult during your transition to college.

Quasi-Important Advice

By Nancy Lai | August 1, 2001

Well, well. Hello, '05s. It's two o'clock in the morning. I've just gotten back to my room from the painting studio and since, under extreme duress, I've been compelled to write this article, I'm up typing, sitting in front of this damnable Mac instead of sinking into a peaceful oblivion in my (bottom) half of the bunk bed. So this is usually a humor column and this column usually addresses current issues at Dartmouth (in a highly tangential manner) or more often, consists of my trying to fill up a column with 600 words or more (I also use lots of parentheses.

River Rat

When I visited Dartmouth as a prospective, my host lived in the River dorms. Needless to say, I did not come away with a very favorable impression of the rooming situation here.

Uncommon Neighbors

By Audrey McCollum | July 31, 2001

A bluebird alighted on our terrace one afternoon this spring. He perched where Bob, my husband, and I had shared hours of intimate conversation with Half and Susanne Zantop, our beloved next-door neighbors. Forest dwellers in Papua New Guinea, a Pacific nation in which we have often traveled, believe that birds embody spirits of the dead.

The Issue of Inclusiveness

By Spencer Jones | July 27, 2001

To the Editor: Though to debate the definition of "Christianity" on the editorial pages of The Dartmouth in itself seems more than partly insensitive and misplaced, I would be remiss in not writing in response to the move by the Summer Christian Fellowship to bar Meredith Brooks from a leadership role and the subsequent narrow categorizations of Mormonism that have played themselves out on these op-ed pages. The crux of the issue that seems to have been thus far missed in this debate is that the Summer Christian Fellowship, as sponsored by the Tucker Foundation, was to maintain a "nondenominational" and presumably open forum for those interested in basic "Christian" beliefs. The range of denominations to self-categorize themselves as Christian at Dartmouth -- be they Catholic, Protestant, Mormon or otherwise -- certainly varies in the respective doctrinal specifics.

Beyond Superficial Diversity

By Emmett M. Hogan | July 25, 2001

To the Editor: Dean of the College James Larimore was quoted as saying "It's clear to us from research that the most academically qualified students in the country are students who have an interest in being in a diverse educational community." This I find to be completely ludicrous.

By Tim Neuschwander | July 25, 2001

To the Editor: Although Mormons call themselves Christians, the fundamental difference between the two is that Mormons are polytheistic, while Christians are monotheistic.

Are Mormons Christian?

By Noel Hausler | July 25, 2001

To the Editor: I think it is a bit rich when Latter-day Saints try to involve themselves with Christian groups who they have been taught are apostates from true Christianity.

Dog Cruelty is Violent Crime

By Danielle Unger | July 23, 2001

To the Editor: In reference to Matt Soriano's editorial "Equality for All?" in the July 17 Op-Ed section -- I sincerely hope that I missed some aspect of satire in the piece.
