The Affair Goes On

By Brian Nick | February 14, 2001

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.

Recent Events

By David G. Breed, Croydon, NH | February 14, 2001

To the Editor: Having grown up in Hanover, having a business here as well as many ties to the Dartmouth community, including 5 immediate family members that are alumnae, I have followed the Zantop tragedy closely.

Coming to an Agreement

By Jon Schroeder | February 13, 2001

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

By Michael P. Hamilton | February 12, 2001

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

By La Tanya R. Harry | February 12, 2001

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

By Christopher Moore | February 12, 2001

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

By Felix Yudovsky | February 12, 2001

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.

Were the Zantops Targeted?

By Robert K. Stoddard | February 12, 2001

To the Editor: Although I never knew the Zantops and never attended Dartmouth, I grew up in Newport, NH, only 30-some miles from you and today I live at the edge of the Stanford campus where the Zantops were students in the 60's.

21st Century Carnival

By Ying Li | February 9, 2001

When I first heard of Dartmouth Winter Carnival, I pictured ferris wheels and carousels surrounding a cotton candy-covered Green.

Winter Carnival in Decline?

By Rebekka Brooks | February 9, 2001

I've heard rumors that the intensity with which students celebrate the Winter Carnival holiday is in decline -- that it might soon dip dangerously low, like the skin temperature of a Polar Bear swimmer.

Lest the Old Traditions Fail...

By Shihwan Chung | February 9, 2001

At a school proud of its long and storied history, Winter Carnival is yet another tradition in the unique "Dartmouth Experience" that drew many of us to this frozen patch of land in the Upper Connecticut River Valley.
