Creating Palestine, Creating Peace

|

Last week, the Palestinian Central Council (PCC), the quasi-legislative body of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), announced plans to declare a Palestinian state at some point in the coming year.

Love Lost

|

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love." Or so wrote Somerset Maugham, the British playwright and novelist.

Duty Calls

The summons came over Spring Break: Jury Duty was in store for the first week of my summer vacation.

Trouble in River City

|

I was driving up East Wheelock on my way to class this week and there were two police officers directing traffic around the public works project being carried out at the intersection by Berry Sports Center.

Time to Change

|

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

|

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

|

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

|

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

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

Vox Clamantis

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

|

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.


Opinion

An Apology

|

To the Editor, Early Sunday morning, we committed an act deeply offensive to the brothers of Alpha Chi Alpha, the family of David Wolfson '92, the Dartmouth Community, and uncountable others. At around four that morning, our judgement clouded by alcohol and our sight impaired by darkness, we cut down a small tree, unaware of its emotional significance.

Camp Dartmouth

So this is it, the fabled sophomore summer. The highlight of life in Hanover. The crowning jewel of the oft-maligned D-Plan.

The End of a Culinary Era

|

In case you missed the article in the D (motto: "A smattering of world news plus all the CS4 and Phi Delt derecognition stories you can stand"), Westside is closing next fall.

The Dumbest Girl at Dartmouth

|

Have you ever sat in a class and thought to yourself, "I must be the dumbest person in this entire college?" Have you ever tried to write a paper, knowing that you will get absolutely no feedback on your work, other than a grade that is probably lower than you expected? Okay, maybe it's just me, but sometimes I feel like everyone is smarter than I am and that I have absolutely no clue when it comes to academia.
