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.

Our Year

By Jorge Miranda | April 21, 2000

There are people at Dartmouth who devote their lives to making change. They see something wrong with Dartmouth and work to make a difference.

Our Time

By Alex Grishman | April 20, 2000

Ours is a generation characterized by apathy. Particularly at Dartmouth, where we find ourselves availed with numerous opportunities for success.

Cellophane Soul

By Jacob Osterhout | April 18, 2000

Can you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men? I hear them, every morning when I awake, every afternoon when I nap and every night when I lay sleepless dreaming of what could be.

Anti-Hallmark

By Jeff Deck | April 18, 2000

These past few days I have sent a couple of those electronic birthday cards to people. No, not the cards that play "Kumbaya" when you open them: I am referring, of course, to the ever-present e-cards.

Why I Want to Be VP

The Student Assembly must improve. At such a crucial juncture in Dartmouth College's history, it becomes very important for student government to be truly effective for the sake of all students.

Addressing Gender Issues

By Peter Jacobsen | April 17, 2000

To the Editor: I am just writing a short note in response to Ben Rifkin's column in Friday's "D," (inappropriately) titled, "Transcending Gender." I approached the column with a sense of hopefulness that issues of transcending gender stereotyping would be addressed.

We Hold These Truths

By Alfred Valrie Jr. | April 17, 2000

Elian should be shared. That's right, shared. Every family in America--not just the Florida relatives of little Elian--should have the responsibility of raising him.

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.

The Clear Path Forward

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 14, 2000

For the past year, the Dartmouth community has grappled with the Student Life Initiative. As the Trustees come to campus and begin the task of actually deciding where the Initiative should take this college, they must keep in mind the responsibilities they have to the Dartmouth community: While the early proclamations and promises of the Initiative nearly guaranteed sweeping, dramatic reforms, the Trustees should not feel compelled to make such changes just for the sake of fulfilling their earlier boldness.

Secret Places

By Jeff Deck | April 13, 2000

Recently, I visited someone in North Hall. Until then, I had no idea that North Hall existed. For all I know, it didn't exist until the very moment that it came into my view, and once I left it, it slipped back into oblivion. How long has North Hall been there?

The World Wide Bowl

By Joe LaBracio | April 13, 2000

It all started as a small idea in the mind of Vice President Al Gore -- the Internet, that is. Okay, so perhaps that joke is getting old, but one thing that is clearly not getting old anytime soon is the Internet itself.

Critically Thinking

By Randy Stebins | April 13, 2000

There are people (okay, students, but only one has made it onto my radar screen) out there in our liberal arts community who support the candidacy of George W.

Transcending Gender

By Ben Rifkin | April 13, 2000

Having been stuck in the confines of rural New England for the majority of my twenty-one years, and being even more strictly bound within the Upper Valley's limits for nearly the past four years, I have come to three conclusions: 1) People need to have more sex; 2) People need to have more sex in public spaces; and 3) Some places on this campus are better than others for dropping the proverbial kids off at the proverbial pool. Increased sex on this campus would ameliorate gender relations at least a hundredfold.
