I Want to Be an Athlete

By Nancy Lai | April 24, 2000

Hello, out there. After months of careful consideration, I've decided to become an Athlete. However, rather than actually trying out for a specific sport or making any undue effort on my own part, I'm going to put this column to use and make it a forum for the pursuit of my athletic career and eventual superstardom. Look no further, Dartmouth coaches, the stage is set, a new era has begun.

Anti-Hallmark

By Jeff Deck | April 18, 2000

Ah, Community

By Linda Romano | April 17, 2000

I have to admit -- until a very short time ago, I hated the phrase "the Dartmouth Community." As a matter of fact, if you were to ask me what I found most annoying about the whole Student Life Initiative debate, I would have said that it was the fact that every time I turned around, someone was making a suggestions that they felt would benefit "the Dartmouth Community." For a little while, I even forgot to listen to what people were actually saying and decided that anyone who used those words wasn't on a side I could support. The phrase used to conjure up in me these touchy-feely, let's-hold-hands-and-affirm-the-fact-that-everybody's-special vibes that just did not sit well with my sarcastic tendencies.
