Third Pixel, Corner Pocket

|

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

|

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

|

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.

Hardwood Politics

|

We live in a very media-saturated world. From magazines and newspapers to television and the Internet, the American public enjoys a 24-hour news cycle and constant access to what is going on in the world around us, particularly in the realm of politics.

Looking Back

|

As my first term in college draws to a rapidly approaching close, I'm compelled to look back at the past few months and try to piece together as best I can what the heck it was all about.

Textbook Wars

|

I find it interesting that the National Association of College Stores is suing the online bookstore, Varsitybooks.com.


Opinion

A Do or Die Thing?

|

Since last February, people who care about Darmouth and its future have been voicing their opinions in order to defend their viewpoint as well as convince others of it.


Opinion

A Slippery Slope

|

What are the ends of a liberal arts education? This is a good question. The term is bandied around by Dartmouth and other schools of like character.

Sexualcentrism in the Greek System

|

I find Danica Lo's article very interesting in its citation of examples of sexism in Cairo; I wonder why she doesn't do the same examination to the Greek system. Danica mentions that "some students believe that the Greek system has problems that have detrimental effects to the [Dartmouth] community." Later on, she commends the Greek system for "support networks" and claims that these have "thanklessly provided so much for the Dartmouth community." What I find problematic here is the lack of criticism Danica considers for the Greek system.

Dean Pelton Worked for Sexual Abuse Awareness

|

To the Editor: Two opinion pieces this past week, reflecting in some thoughtful ways on the important topic of sexual abuse, have also commented negatively on remarks that the former Dean of the College, Lee Pelton, was anonymously alleged to have made.

Students Beware of Music Exchange Liability

|

To the Editor: The Dartmouth is running a half-page ad this week from myplace.com inviting students to "share your MP3 music collection online" by uploading MP3's to myplay's site to be shared with other myplay subscribers.

Our Piece of the Pie

|

At last, negotiations over next year's federal budget are winding down, and Congressmen everywhere are eagerly preparing to get home in time for Thanksgiving.


Opinion

What I Do Know

|

I am, as I am so often forced to tell the ubiquitous brother or sister at the door, a three. This makes me inherently dumb, insecure and prone to social faux pas.


Opinion

Men are From Mars

|

The vast differences that exist between the sexes have always been well documented. Unfortunately, most of these documents have been lost, because they have been left under the care of men.
