Not About the Initiative

By Erick Del Pozo | January 12, 2000

Note: This column involves the Initiative. In addition, it touches on winos and organic farmers. Two days ago, moments after the steering committee released its final recommendations for social improvements, hundreds of Dartmouth students opened up the report, and, like true devotees to tradition and common sense, asked themselves same thing: "Does this thing come with coupons?" After discovering that the answer to this question was an obvious "Yes, but they are cleverly hidden," many went ahead and read the report anyway.

Dartmouth Should Remain A Small College

By Ryan Carey | January 12, 2000

To the Editor: Although I've been following the Student Life Initiative debates, wondering what will become of the CFS houses, I've been struck at the lack of attention paid to the rest of the report.

From The Heart

By Jeremy Ascher | January 11, 2000

To the Editor: I read the trustees report and was very upset. The report says something to the effect of "not all fraternities will be able to meet these requirements and so some will have to go." I'm tired of discussion about the Greek system.

A Library Allergy

By Abbye Meyer | January 11, 2000

With all of the ordeals and issues happening around the world and on this campus, some very critical ones just don't get enough attention.

A Quick Fix

By Kevan Higgins | January 11, 2000

Yes, yes. The word is out and about. Now it's time for the armchair quarterbacks to come in and criticize everything.

Big Football

By Teddy Rice | January 10, 2000

Returning home in a loaded car for what would probably be the last three-week Christmas vacation of my life, I couldn't help but reflect on my experiences here at Dartmouth and wonder if I would have done anything differently, given what I know now.

Emotion vs. Trade Logic

By Lee Istrail | January 7, 2000

As I was exiting the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston the other day, I noticed a large crowd gathered outside in protest of the World Trade Organization (WTO) summit.

Mall Santa

By Liam Kuhn | January 7, 2000

This winter break I had the opportunity to fulfill a goal of mine: I became a mall Santa Claus. After a much needed, post-finals, three-day bender on Webster Ave, I went home to idyllic suburban New Jersey and caught up on some sleep.

Same-sex relationship stereotypes are out of date

By Wess Jolley | January 5, 2000

To the Editor: I did not attend [Notre Dame] Professor Bradley's lecture against same-sex marriage, but I was appalled to read, in the November 23rd issue of The Dartmouth, that he asserted, "a same sex relationship is shorter than a heterosexual relationship." This is a fact that many of my gay and lesbian friends, in relationships for dozens of years, would find surprising. The first question we must ask is where on earth Professor Bradley would get the data to support such a conclusion.

Determinism

By Omar Rashid | November 24, 1999

All members of the Dartmouth Community are bound by a code of honor, which demands that we each hold ourselves as well as each other accountable for our actions.

Third Pixel, Corner Pocket

By Eric Del Pozo | November 24, 1999

When I was back in the fifth grade my father tried to take up some of my interests so that we could be more "in tune." Unfortunately, we ended up about as in tune as a piano.

Purple Passion

By Abbye Meyer | November 23, 1999

Everything purple is a good thing. A simple thought, but an important one, too. In fact, judging by everyday events as well as some of our most moving literature, I think it's possible to assert that a whole philosophy of life can be based on the simple color purple. It represents individuality, confidence, and laughter.

Kronos

By Jeff Deck | November 23, 1999

Dear Kronos, I hear you're the god of time. At least, I'm pretty sure you're the god of time; I don't have time to look it up for sure.
