Open-Apple M

By Nancy Lai | January 14, 2000

Take my hand as we journey into the dark netherworld of collegiate life. I pray thee, have no fear as we delve into the seedy machinations of 18 to 21 year olds and press our noses against the underbelly of higher learning.

The Initiative Disappoints

By Robert K. McConnaughey | January 14, 2000

To the Editor, Having read the initiative recommendations, I am sadly disappointed. It strikes me that the committee proposes a great deal of curtailment of what is currently the heart of the Dartmouth social system without significant imaginative suggestions for what will serve as a replacement.

Listless

By Jeff Deck | January 13, 2000

This is the year 2000. Although there are no flying cars or self-massaging boxer shorts, there is still a feeling of being in the future, of being in "later" right "now." A futuristic glow surrounds everything and it's more than just residual radiation.

Does N. H. Matter?

By Joe LaBracio | January 13, 2000

The national spotlight has been focused on New Hampshire every four years since 1920. A whirlwind of national political activity consumes this always charming and usually peaceful state in anticipation of the first-in-the-nation presidential primary.

Let Reality Dictate

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | January 13, 2000

Before this week, no one could have said what the release of the steering committee's recommendations would reveal, but there was little doubt that whatever the report's contents, the national media would once again fill their pages with the mythical "Animal House"connection.

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.

Opinion

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.

Career Advice

By Erik Assadourian | January 6, 2000

As a senior, nearing graduation and entrance into the workforce, I have done a lot of thinking about the type of career I would like to pursue.
