In honor of Valentine's Day's recent coming, and in honor of my friend Evan who gave me flowers and made my year (gave me flowers and said, "this doesn't mean I'm going to hook up with you.

Winter Carnival Memories

|

To The Editor: I have enjoyed the memories of Winter Carnivals past which appeared in your recent issue. However, I am very surprised that no one has mentioned the most odious policy of the College during the early 1960s regarding carnival.

The Affair Goes On

For my Valentine's Day column I thought I'd write about the most famous love affair in recent history, one that has embedded itself in our very culture.

Coming to an Agreement

|

For the first time in my life, I have seen urban America outside of the confines of Boston. Sure I'd been to redneck burgs in Wyoming and Utah, but I'd never seen a real city past the Mississippi.

Men's hockey hits jackpot with 4-point weekend

|

Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Swamp. The Pit. Thompson Arena? While Thompson may not be famous for its rabid fans and sellout crowds, this year it has had the same effects on opposing teams as these inhospitable venues, with the Big Green compiling a 9-4-0 record at home.

Crime is Everywhere

To the Editor: I recently read a Letter to the Editor article written by the parent of a junior here at Dartmouth, in which the writer expressed extreme horror and contempt for the 'laundry list of crimes' that had been committed at Dartmouth throughout its existence.

An Education Seminar

|

A confused and less-than-optimal relationship exists between the faculty and students. This bizarre and misunderstood relationship, a problem systemic to our College for "undergraduate education," informs the ugly tension around the Education Department. Previous commentators and department sympathizers see the turmoil as symptomatic of other ills: a "research-trumps-teaching"--minded administration; a strangely polemical dean of social sciences; a corps of anti-pre-professionals posturing against teacher training and certification; and a coterie of hard-core liberal artists, for whom "ed" classes teach topics already handled well in other departments but without the guaranteed dumbed-down syllabus and easy A.

Petty Chauvinism

|

To the Editor: I am an alumnus of Dartmouth who had a chance to read the above-mentioned editorial from your paper, and I would like to express my strong condemnation of the author's arrogant and disrespectful position -- disrespectful not only towards the foreign countries but to the American nation and culture itself, as his excited claim that "... we [the Americans] have no culture!" stands as an offense against a rich cultural heritage of the United States and does a grave injustice to millions of American people. The exceptionalism expressed by the author has a strong nationalist-chauvinist flavour that in itself goes counter to the very principles of American political system to which the author gives so much praise.
