Spammy

By Jourdan Abel | February 3, 2000

I'm sitting here writing my FSP application for next spring and I cannot concentrate. I'm drawn to the can of SPAM on my windowsill and it reminds me of everything that's happened in the past few weeks.

Commercial Interest

By Christopher Moore | February 3, 2000

No longer is the televised Superbowl the greatest American sporting event of the year, or even a more broadly defined celebration of athleticism and overpaid football heroes.

No Longer Inevitable

By Joe LaBracio | February 3, 2000

In a speech following his loss to Senator John McCain, George W. Bush, referred to the N.H. primary as traditionally "a bump in the road for the front-runner." That could be the understatement of the campaign season.

Here Today, Gone in March

By Dan Pollock | February 3, 2000

I've never seen one of these guys show up to their own event before ten o'clock," the baffled correspondent from a national news organization told me last night.

Batman Beware

By Eric Del Pozo | February 2, 2000

If you are the type of person who has been waiting your entire life to see a 300-pound schizophrenic man from Chicago break into the rock music scene, how sad is that? In unrelated news, a 300-pound schizophrenic man from Chicago has -- this is an actual fact -- broken into the rock music scene and let me be the first to say, I have been waiting my whole life for this. Now, some obvious questions arise.

Save Our Education

By Rob Valet | February 2, 2000

The Education department is once again under attack. Whatever arguments may be used to dismantle the department, the issue ultimately boils down to one prejudice held by many on this campus, including members of the administration: teaching is not a worthy application of a Dartmouth education. Continually sitting on the brink of elimination, the department will be subjected to yet another review, begining this week.

Bradley and Wilson

By Scott Given | February 1, 2000

Bill Bradley has taken New Hampshire by storm, using the New Hampshire electorate's infatuation with the "outsider" candidate to his advantage.

Working Women

By Conor Dugan | February 1, 2000

One of the truths held by traditional conservatives is that men and women are different, very different.

Trustee Initiative

By John B. Chamberlin | January 31, 2000

To the Editor: I downloaded the report and read it over the weekend. Frankly I was appalled (and I was NOT a member of a fraternity.) It is an unbelievably shoddy piece of work.

Turning the Channel on Lippmann

By Matthew D. Benedetto | January 28, 2000

To the Editor: As the student representative to the College Committee on Cable and as someone who has invested over 1.5 years to the cable question here at Dartmouth, I honestly shy away from dignifying, with a response, Wesley Lippman's painfully limited and myopic letter to the editor of January 26.

Can You Talk the Talk?

By Jeff Deck | January 27, 2000

If you think about it -- and I mean, not even heavily think about it, which I tend to avoid doing anyway -- the strangest aspect of our lives is communication.

Iowa Digested

By Joe LaBracio | January 27, 2000

The presidential campaign circus, starring the remaining seven candidates and a myriad of journalists, has left the heartland in Iowa and taken up temporary residence in the Granite State.

Cable Controversy

By Wesley Lippman | January 26, 2000

To The Editor: I read in your January 21st issue, an article on dormitory cable television containing the following paragraph: "One of the reasons the College plans to offer new channels is to increase the cultural diversity of television programming on campus.

What's the Difference?

By Edward Mallet | January 26, 2000

To the Editor: At Princeton, the unregulated Eating Clubs for the two upper classes have "Bicker" for what we call Rush, and the clubs have venerable cultures and reputations -- jock clubs, geek clubs, clubs for folks who say they don't believe in clubs, etc. At Yale, the heavy, discriminatory selectivity is in the junior year for places in the Senior Societies which polkadot the campus with their Tombs.

Quiet on the Set

By Eric Del Pozo | January 26, 2000

As many of you have undoubtedly noticed, there are a lot of alarming facts in the world lately. Alarming fact number ONE is that, according to my film professor, movies used to not have any sound.

Did You Forget?

By Jeffrey Fine | January 25, 2000

This article was motivated, in part, by Ryan Carey's article in a recent issue of The Dartmouth. Mr. Carey wrote, "I've been struck at the lack of attention paid to the rest of the report." I would like to extend Mr. Carey's comments even further.

Stopping Time

By Abbye Meyer | January 25, 2000

A few days ago, a friend of mine said he'd stop time just to watch TV. Granted, it sounded pretty stupid, but as I had just spent the day running around, dealing with too many classes and trying to fit in too many unnecessary activities, I knew exactly what he meant. Don't we all wish for stupid things like extra time to watch TV?

Core Values?

By Martin Redman | January 24, 2000

To the Editor: As a relative newcomer, having arrived only last July, I have spent the past several months forming an understanding of this unique place called Dartmouth College.

Opinion

McCain for President

By Kathleen E. Reeder | January 21, 2000

To the Editor: It's my impression that many college students don't care about politics. We've grown up with tales of Watergate and lived through "Zippergate". We've heard stump speeches, policy discussion, and ideological debates from all sides.
