A Distributive Fiasco

|

The greatest accomplishment of my career in math and science at Dartmouth, I believe, was being yelled at for talking in a 200-person lecture class.


Opinion

The Energy of Abraham

|

Of President-elect Bush's selections for cabinet posts, Sen. John Ashcroft has received the most attention, particularly for his conservative record on abortion and his questionable handling of racial issues in his state of Missouri.


Opinion

Testa's Indignation

|

To the Editor: Retching bent over see-through bags already draped in skeins of vomit, toking then chugging, then toking while chugging, staggering over row upon row of foam-topped fermented barley mouthwash brimmed for the bob splash of an incoming pong ball--I've been there, done that, seen that done ad nauseum.


Opinion

I'm Off

|

They told me all the fabulous features of the off term: all these wonderful internship opportunities just waiting to be snatched up by capable Dartmouth students.


Opinion

De Sade Was Cool

|

I'm taking a four-course load this winter, and including three (let me repeat, three) required x-hours every single week, I will be having a grand total of 17 hours of class a week.



Opinion

Testa's Resignation

|

To the Editor: As a member of the Greek Life Steering Committee, I can say that I am pleased to see Professor Randy Testa resign from the committee.


Opinion

To All '04s

|

For the past several years, students have spoken about the need for more mainstream coed options on campus.





Opinion

Oh, to be young again!

|

I must admit that, as I begin my senior winter, I am starting to feel rather old. Back when I was a carefree little freshman (1997-8, when most of you still had zits or braces, or both!), I used to laugh when my senior friends stressed about grad schools or finding jobs.


Opinion

Mission Accomplished?

|

From the Dartmouth College Mission Statement (1999): "Dartmouth has a special character and is committed to fostering the unique bonds that exist between the institution and those who learn, teach and work here.



Opinion

Dissecting Linda Chavez

|

Move aside John Ashcroft. Last Sunday, Linda Chavez, a syndicated columnist chosen to be Bush's Secretary of Labor, acquired the unfortunate distinction of being the president-elect's most controversial cabinet designee.



Opinion

Regarding the D-Plan

|

It's no secret that students don't unanimously applaud the D-plan. Every upperclassman at Dartmouth has a story about the best friend he lost, the championship season he missed out on, or the classes he forewent because of certain combinations of on-, off- and leave-terms.


Opinion

Rules to Buy By

|

After the heavy snow last weekend a friend and I went tobogganing at the golf course. My toboggan is a beautiful rock maple sled, its steam-bent nose arcing gracefully backwards toward the smooth boards of the base.


Opinion

A Baltic Missile Crisis

|

Does this scenario sound familiar? A young, inexperienced president is elected to office with a slim electoral majority and faces grave doubts about his abilities from leaders both at home and abroad.


Opinion

Brain Boggling

|

I am the king of Boggle/ There is none higher/ I gets eleven points from the word 'quagmire.'" A few years ago, I thought this line from a bad Beastie Boys song was incredibly funny, if a bit random.
