Thanks, Tucker

Death is a hard thing to deal with. I know that I can't even handle thinking about it, thinking about leaving this world forever, thinking about people I love dying.

I Love Bruce Springsteen

|

When I find myself in social situations that require an impromptu conversation starter, I usually begin with three quick personal facts: I'm from Norfolk, VA; I am one of the few people ever arrested for biking five miles naked on the Virginia Beach boardwalk; and I love Bruce Springsteen.

Time For a Change

|

Over the past few weeks, the United States Congress has reached a stalemate in the policymaking process because of the rhetoric and rancor of partisan fighting.

The Countdown Begins

Welcome back alums! In this turbulent period of Dartmouth's history, it is certain that you will want to get all you can of this Dartmouth before the change is made to the new Dartmouth.

Welcome Home

|

Homecoming meant a lot to me last year. It was my first "big weekend" at Dartmouth, my first inoculation of the long-standing tradition in which Dartmouth is so famously steeped.


Opinion

Really, I Do

|

Why do I want to write for the D? It's because I'm an '03 isn't it? Still got that "go get 'em," "take over the world," "participate in activities 'til I drop dead" attitude.

The Personal Touch

|

A paradox of the present day is that technology is drawing us closer and closer together while we seem to be growing further and further apart.

Column in a Vat

|

Since it seems like everyone on Earth, and even other planets, in fact the whole entire universe when it comes right down to it, is extremely concerned with the upcoming Trustees' Social Initiative, I figure it is only my duty to use this valuable space in our campus newspaper to talk about "The Matrix". In case you have been living in a place without movies for the past several months (for example a cave, without movies), "The Matrix" was last season's number one critically acclaimed Hollywood Mega-Blockbuster science fiction hit, narrowly edging out some of last year's other critically acclaimed Hollywood Mega-Blockbuster science fiction hits, such as "Milo And Otis Visit the Swamp". As one of my floormates so eloquently put it last week, "The Matrix" contains "the world's worst actor in the world's greatest cyber-action flick." But we are also quick to point out that this person refers to herself -- this is an actual fact -- as "Critter." (She's nice.) What makes "The Matrix" such a favorite of critics and fans alike is that it has many endearing qualities, the least of which being that most high school students cannot, for the life of them, complete any mathematical functions having to do with it.

What I Found

I am not usually a man of action. I tend to stay away from heated debates and let those who feel impassioned about what is being debated be the ones left to quarrel.
