The Talking Box

By Jeff Deck | October 4, 2000

As with many people in America, I occasionally have the occasion to watch a little TV. This impressive device, found in living rooms, bedrooms and dorm rooms across the country, has often been maligned by mean-spirited critics, prompting them to dub it "the idiot box," "the boob tube" or "the goddamned television." Friends, I wish to occupy the opposite ground, and take a moment to laud the greatest invention since six-string guitars. There are some who profess that if they watch television, they can "feel" themselves "getting dumber." I argue that this is in fact a personal problem and in no way related to the television.

Beware of National Polls

By Brian Nick | October 4, 2000

Transformers and Decepticons

By Jon Schroeder | October 3, 2000

By Nick Morinigo | October 3, 2000

In rowing there exists a collegiate tradition of awarding shirts to the winner of the race. After the boats are out of the water, and the competitors have caught their breath, the loser approaches the winner, finds the man who rowed opposite him, hands him his shirt and shakes his hand.

Something Better

By Jared Alessandroni | October 2, 2000

The abortion pill RU-486 is available now. They're adding more rent-a-cops to the displays at all the local FDA hangouts and abortion clinics to protect the lives of those involved.

To the Editor: I enjoyed very much the article Andy Edwards wrote for The Dartmouth. I am an Eagle Scout from Berkeley, California and completely understand what you are saying.

Pez Wisdom

By Liam Kuhn | September 29, 2000

As a wise old junior, I planned on writing a really impressive column showcasing my extensive knowledge of Dartmouth, dispensing pellets of knowledge like so many pieces of Pez and impressing all the cute '04 girls on the way.

Thinking ahead

By Dan Galemba | September 28, 2000

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Those are the oh-so-wonderful sounds that we've all come to know and love on a campus consumed by Machiavellian tactics for getting things done regardless of who's trampled on in the process. It seems as if the guys driving the construction vehicles outside Silsby go in reverse at 7 a.m.

The Deadliest Sin

By Alfred Valrie Jr. | September 28, 2000

I am programmed to be proud of a lot of things. Proud to be American, proud to be black, proud to be a black American, proud to be a Dartmouth student, proud to live in a "free" society, proud to be a Christian, proud to walk upright, etc.

By Andy Edwards | September 27, 2000

Hiking, camping, days covered in your own filth -- no, I am not talking about the DOC trips but instead the Boy Scouts of America.

Apocalypse Now?

By Randy Stebbins | September 26, 2000

How can you tell the world is about to end? In the Christian tradition, a dazzling light in the sky and a figure born aloft on a cloud herald the extirpation of life.
