About My Mother

By Jeff Deck | November 1, 2000

Recently my mother groused about not being mentioned at all in the two and a half years I've been writing columns for The Dartmouth.

Political Cartoons

By Jon Schroeder | November 1, 2000

The election is one week away. Pundits are talking about the "home stretch," or saying that the candidates are "rounding third," and using similar sports analogies.

Guatemala's Malediction

By Raquel Pacheco | October 31, 2000

As oppressive readings and problem sets begin to absorb our focus, the academic pressures of Dartmouth become slightly like an enslaving yoke, which, if we are not watchful, can uproot us from the cosmos of an interrelated world into an intellectual vacuum.

Theft at Dartmouth

By Rebekka Brooks | October 30, 2000

That theft is a problem on our campus was made thoroughly clear to me when, the day before I discovered someone had stolen my pizza out of the dorm freezer, I discovered someone had stolen my bike out of the basement. True, it wasn't locked.

For the Nookie

By Nancy Lai | October 27, 2000

My Dear Masses of Adoring Readers -- greetings. Indubitably, you're ecstatic to be reading another article of mine just as I too am filled with an unbearable ecstasy, bordering on orgasmic, to be sitting at my computer this lovely afternoon, rolling the words across my tongue and pondering what wisdom I should drop into your ready ears. And as I ponder possible subjects, it strikes me to write about Our Blessed Homecoming.

A Friendly Fire

By Dan Pollock | October 27, 2000

As the administration's recent threat to eliminate the bonfire shows, there is a fundamental difference between the philosophies of the students and the administration at this school.

Keep It Burning

By Dan Galemba | October 26, 2000

Traditions were made to be broken. Wait a second, that's not right. What was it that's made to be broken again? Every time any Dartmouth event of consequence comes around, we're always faced with the same hysterics from the College; threats loom over everything.

Headline Correction

October 26, 2000

To the Editor: We would like to correct the headline of your 24 October front page article which states "Jerusalem LSA not threatened." If this new LSA Plus program had been scheduled for our 2001 Winter term, those involved with our overseas programs in Wentworth Hall would be, right now, very seriously considering to cancel the offering.

The Bubba Factor

By Brian Nick | October 25, 2000

Well, it is now less than two weeks until Election Day, and Al Gore and George W. Bush are making their last second pushes to mobilize their base to get out the vote and appeal to those few coveted independent voters who are still undecided.

Not Fade Away

By Randy Stebbins | October 24, 2000

The nights grow colder on the hilltop in Etna. The leaves departed from here many days ago. The nascent, tightly bound buds of spring emerged behind them, patiently waiting their departure, perhaps even hastening their fall to the forest floor. Frost stills the grass each morning now.

In Committee

By Alfred Valrie Jr. | October 24, 2000

My days at Dartmouth have been colored by a pseudo-political activism, a desire to engender real change in the Dartmouth "community." (One of these days, I'm going to write an editorial on quotation marks.) Operating on the "Student Assembly Model" of effectuality in change, I've conceived throughout my student career a number of committees that have elicited great hope and excitement yet done nothing.

Don't Let the Fire Go Out

By Rob Valet | October 23, 2000

Do not go gentle into that good night," wrote Dylan Thomas. "... Rage, rage against the dying of the light." While the poem certainly has nothing whatsoever to do with the future of the Homecoming bonfire, I think it nicely frames the question I have been asking myself: why are students so quiet about the fate of what is arguably one of our oldest, most universally beloved traditions? After some 120 years, this year's bonfire, the College has announced, may well be the last.

A Kookie Old Bat

By Jourdan Abel | October 20, 2000

I walk into a partially constructed pumpkin patch of green tissue paper and pipe cleaners. The pumpkins have yet to be made.

Dartmouth's Assets

By Andy Edwards | October 19, 2000

During day after day of freshman orientation events, not only was I physically exhausted, but believe it or not, left thinking about a few things.
