SUV Crazy

|

Is it just me, or are there ridiculously large numbers of SUV commercials on TV nowadays? I know that some people view the sports-utility vehicle as the best thing since coal burning power plants, but total immersion is hardly the answer.


Opinion

A Tough Spot

|

To the Editor: I have never written to The Dartmouth about employee matters that have come to my attention in the time I have worked for Dartmouth, but given The Dartmouth's series of articles questioning Dean of Admissions Karl Furstenberg's commitment to diversity, I feel the strong need to be clear about my impressions.

Spin Spin Spin

|

My alarm goes off at 6:24 on Monday and Wednesday mornings. I munch on some bran flakes, slip into my always styling workout wear (ha) and run across the street to the gym, towel and water bottle in hand.


Opinion

Invitation

|

Have you ever had an idea about how to improve life at Dartmouth? Nothing huge, just something that would make students' day to day lives here a bit easier.

The Dartmouth Speech Code

|

Q: In light of the recent decisions regarding Psi Upsilon and Zeta Psi fraternities, does Dartmouth have a speech code? A: I think that would be obvious.

The Last Word

|

How to treat the dreaded last column?? It's getting to be my "last" everything and I'm running out of ideas.


Opinion

The Last Hurrah

|

I like that I knew which side of Baker Library's front door to open before a tiny "PULL" sign gave my insider's knowledge away.

A Valet-Dictory Address

|

My fellow seniors, as we gather here today full of hopes and dreams for the future, I want to wish you the very best on this, our graduation. Actually, it's not graduation just yet, and of course I am not actually reading you my valedictory speech.




Opinion

Between Teaching & Research

|

I came to Dartmouth in large part because of the Women in Science Project Internship program. I knew that Dartmouth was a small college dedicated to providing me with an unmatched undergraduate experience, and, as if that were not enough, I could also have the opportunity to participate in research in my first year.


Opinion

An Informed Perspective

|

I am writing as a woman who knows Zeta Psi fraternity and its members well enough to express my frustration with the manner in which the brothers have been portrayed this term and why their derecognition is shortsighted and entirely unwarranted.


Opinion

Within Kennedy's Chambers

|

On a chilly Monday morning I stood at the grand entrance of the United States Supreme Court. As the chatter of tourists on the expansive piazza filled the air, the Italian marble shimmered in the sunlight and a spray of clear fountains emitted a light mist.
