The Beach

By Nancy Lai | February 25, 2000

Last Saturday, I saw a certain special movie it was "Titanic meets Lord of the Flies meets Full Metal Jacket meets the Swiss Family Robinson." Also known as, "Hollywood's Homage to Leo: A Lesson in Prepubescent Lust and Big Ticket Sales." The movie formerly known as "The Beach" is a film of "stunning cinematic brilliance." Hum.

Exclusivity

By Liam Kuhn | February 25, 2000

It's no secret that I've criticized Dartmouth College in the past. But it has always been under the guise of tough love; like a mother reproachfully scolding her child in public or a monkey chewing the gnats out of another monkey's fur -- it's not always pretty, but it's done for the sake of improvement.

Interviewing a Big Shot: Chilly in California

By Christopher Moore | February 23, 2000

I twisted my own arm; I was to interview the world's "most interesting living philosopher." While I had no particularly pressing questions to ask him, nor had I any special experience or acumen in "talking shop" with a famous academic and political revolutionary, a transcribed tte--tte seemed apropos. In the course catalogue of one West Coast university, one particular class caught my eye.

Problems with the SLI

By Nick Swogger | February 22, 2000

To the Editor, I have followed the Trustee Initiative since its inception. As a member of the Greek community, and a former resident of Hanover, I feel the need to point out a few problems with the plan. First, this is the first attempt by the administration to "fix" the system.

A Slippery Slope

By Abbye Meyer | February 22, 2000

If Jerry Seinfeld ever came to Dartmouth, probably the first thing he would say is, "So what's the deal with Collis?" Truly, it's a building with an identity crisis.

The Addiction

By Alfred Valrie Jr. | February 22, 2000

In April of 1996, I finally came to terms with my addiction. What is interesting about addictions, and mine in particular, is that they have the singular distinction among psychological ailments as something that both satiates and destroys its captive.

Keg Jumps, V-Day and a Bunch of Puritans

At some point during this year's keg jump, probably soon after the severe trauma to my mouth and legs had rendered me delirious, it occurred to me that here was a piece of Dartmouth I truly loved.

By Jourdan Abel | February 18, 2000

This Monday, I woke up at six a.m. for the first time since arriving at Dartmouth. I did so because my friend, a certain '03 class president who will remain nameless, wanted front-row tickets to Tuesday's Sheryl Crow concert.

Lyle of Norwich

By Rob Valet | February 18, 2000

I am not sure how many of you regularly read the Valley News (motto: "Inexplicably the Same Price as USA Today but no 64-Color Full Page Weather Map!") but if not, you missed a real treat in the Sunday edition: an interview entitled "2 Million Mile Man Teaching Trucking Safety." I will admit, I am not a regular Valley News fan.
