Dartmouth Olympics

By Rob Valet | September 25, 2000

As the Olympic games wind down, I am once again impressed by how many of Dartmouth's star athletes go on to represent the United States at the games.

Parking Woes

By Kelly Finck | September 22, 2000

I'm not a fan of columns in The Dartmouth that whine about how rough life at Dartmouth can be or complain that a certain department or administrative office is being unreasonable.

American Heroes

By Randy Stebbins | September 21, 2000

I was reading The New York Times this past Sunday and a picture captioned "The proposed Kennedy sculpture" drew me to its accompanying article.

For the Love of the Game

By William Young | September 21, 2000

The best athletes from all over the world converge for a glorified fortnight of heart-suspending, harmonious and friendly international competition.

Exercise Your Right

By Dan Galemba | September 20, 2000

I'm telling you, folks, this is big. For most of us this will be the first time we're actually able to vote in a presidential election.

Haute Cuisine

By Alfred Valrie Jr. | September 20, 2000

By now, you should be acquainted with the three major campus cafeterias -- Collis, the Hop and Food Court.

Electoral Black Gold

By Daniel Pollock | September 20, 2000

Contrary to popular belief, the winner of the 2000 election will not be the man who raised the most money, or ran the most ads, or had the best spin control.

Opinion

With the 2000 Olympics now underway in Sydney, and with every single American eagerly awaiting the most intense weeks of the presidential campaign, it seems appropriate to challenge both major presidential candidates Al Gore and George W.

My Two Cents

By Guensley Delva | September 20, 2000

River Cluster, oh how I adore thee! Never in my wildest and wettest dreams did I think I would ever fall in love with the desolate land known as the River Cluster.

A New Voice

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | September 19, 2000

Fall is an exciting term no matter what the circumstances, but this year should be especially so, for the incoming class represents the change from Initiative theory to Initiative practice.

A Warm Welcome

By Rob Valet | September 19, 2000

I would like to extend my warmest welcome to all of the new members of our Dartmouth community. I say this not just because I want to help make the '04s feel at home in a strange new place, but also because the last time I wrote an article about the freshmen (in this case the '02s on my floor two years ago), they got so bent out of shape that a couple of them still bear a grudge. Now mind you, I was just trying to impart a little upperclass wisdom about how to fit into the Dartmouth community -- "turn down your goddamn music or I am going to come hit you with a baseball bat" was how I phrased it, I think. Shortly after the article ran, a bunch of shmen formed a cute little lynch-shmob and marched down the hall to my door (as my friends who lived across the hall later informed me). They wrote a scathing, and largely correctly punctuated, message on my dry erase board. It began, "Dear Rob Valet Parking," which I thought was pretty funny.

What is Wrong with the College

By Allen Fromherz | August 22, 2000

Why is there such a wide gulf between the administration and the students? Why are some Dartmouth students apathetic?

Opinion

The Carthaginian

By Jon Schroeder | August 22, 2000

Al Gore struggles along, though the convention was supposed to give him some purpose. However, he still has yet to address his biggest problem, which comes directly from the ultimate campaigner, the Man from Hope, Bill Clinton.

Opinion

The Race for Inclusion

By Tim Waligore | August 22, 2000

A campaign season full of Bush-Gore seemed so boring until each made an interesting vice-presidential pick: one VP choice has an openly gay daughter and the other is an orthodox Jew.

Six Flags and Then Some

By Eric Del Pozo | August 22, 2000

The end of the summer is upon Hanover. I say this because yesterday I witnessed a pair of students, upon exiting class, immediately burn each other for heat.

The Liberal's Dilemma

By Jason Maxwell Spitalnick | August 18, 2000

While studying in Paris this winter, I came into contact with a group of politically active college students and twenty-somethings who were aligned far to the left in the political continuum.

Insulting T-Shirt #579

By Atteeyah Hollie | August 18, 2000

Recently, we have become concerned by Tubestock T-shirts produced by a fraternity on campus that bear the image of a white man wearing a white tank top with a toothless smile, surrounded by the following message: "COME AS YOU ARE UNLESS YOU ARE WEST LEBANESE." We find this message and image not only offensive as individuals, but embarrassing as Dartmouth students.

Beyond Help

I have only lived on Webster Avenue for about eight weeks, but it suddenly feels like a lot longer.

Bubblicious

By Jon Schroeder | August 16, 2000

Since it's summer (for one more month, at least) and I've driven home to watch reruns of the Simpsons and work a little, I've noticed how much more intelligent I am at home.
