The Trouble with Townies

By Jon Sussman | July 19, 2000

Recently, towards the beginning of a clear, warm Saturday night, I was strolling up South Main Street with a friend when we passed a number of teenagers sitting on, standing by, or skateboarding around one of the many benches that pleasantly line what is considered the center of Hanover.

Looking Sixteen

By Abbye Meyer | July 17, 2000

My parents, I suppose, would say I am blessed, blessed with this curse of a youthful face. For they know what it's like to start growing older, to feel younger than they look, to have to remember fondly the last time they were carded while buying a bottle of wine. I, on the other hand, have not yet reached that point.

Living for the Moment

By Patrick Francis | July 13, 2000

I took the plunge during the first week of Spring term my freshman year. I think it was the final day of March -- for those of you in my year, you might recall that the temperature that week was unusually hot.

I Love Cheddar Chex Mix

By Jeff Deck | July 13, 2000

What can I say? A scrappy little snack has captured my heart. I have become utterly enraptured. Cheddar Chex Mix, with its peculiarly appealing amalgam of light Chex, dark Chex, pretzels and nuts, all lightly basted with a cheese flavoring, has taken hold of me.

By Liam Kuhn | July 11, 2000

Trouble in River City

By Randy Stebbins | July 7, 2000

Time to Change

By Kendra Quincy Kemp | July 5, 2000

To the Editor, On April 19 the Board of Trustees released a statement "to make the social and residential experience more reflective of Dartmouth's dynamic, diverse, coeducational community." One of the many recommendations included "the Committee on the Student Life Initiative's recommendation that tap systems, mass refrigeration units, and permanent bars should be removed from CFS houses." This is indisputable and there is little we can do to change the recommendation. I was present at the CFSC meeting on June 27 when Dean Redman discussed the process of the removal of the permanent bar structure in residential buildings.

Summer Myths

By Abbye Meyer | July 5, 2000

Fairy tales are a part of all children's lives. Teachers and parents spend hours reading those weird little stories and playing those eerie movies.

Have Responsible Fun

By Dan Becker | July 5, 2000

To the Editor, The issue of removing Hanover's rope-swing tree is so straightforward that there is little room for ambivalence about it; but I walked down to this sizable tree overhanging the Connecticut River again today, and while I am aware of the neighborhood's concerns, I cannot imagine how one could want to chop this tree down.

Women, Sex and Fine Art

By John Welborn | July 5, 2000

This piece has nothing to do with Dartmouth. It's about women. Well, not exactly. I've always felt people should stick to what they know when they write, and in all honesty I know nothing about women.

Moving on up

By Jeff Deck | July 3, 2000

Ah yes, the requisite task that comes with switching your place of residence, especially on a college campus.

Vox Clamantis

By Kevin Kruse | July 3, 2000

To The Editor, We read with great sadness the story in the online version of The Dartmouth about the act of vandalism that occurred recently at Alpha Chi Alpha.

Holding No Grudges

By Nate Sabel | June 29, 2000

To the Editor, It would be an understatement to say that the brothers at Alpha Chi Alpha were upset when we looked out our front door Sunday morning and discovered that our memorial tree for Dave Wolfson '92 had been sawed down.
