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."

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."

After some 120 years, this year's bonfire, the College has announced, may well be the last.

Deck's in the City

By Jeff Deck | October 18, 2000

Dear Reader: As I am residing in New York City for the term, and many Dartmouth students will experience an internship in a big city at some point, and/or work in the big city after graduation, I thought it appropriate and beneficial to offer a few pointers about city life.

McCain's Camelot

By Andy Edwarads | October 18, 2000

As I stood in a packed room precariously balanced on a chair at nine o'clock on a Tuesday morning, listening to Senator John McCain speak, I had only one question: Why is this man not on the presidential ballot next month?

Microcosm

By Dan Pollock | October 16, 2000

If the main event of fall 2000 is the fight for control of the White House, the contest for the House of Representatives may seem to some like more of a mundane side-show.
