Dependency Dilemmas

By Christine Percheski | July 16, 1999

Last Friday, I found myself sitting on a Vermont Transit bus headed home to Massachusetts and talking to one of Hanover's summer conference visitors about a lecture given the previous day by a sociologist and economist on the topic of dependency.

Summer Assembly?

By Liz Kleinerman | July 16, 1999

I used to walk around this campus and think to myself, "I love this place and there's nothing I want to change..." I reveled in everything here, from the grass on the Green to the comfy chairs in the Tower Room.

Greater Than or Less Than?

By Chris Schons | July 14, 1999

To the Editor: Craig Colfelt '95 asks the following in a July 12 opinion piece: "To reform the social habits of Dartmouth College, why look to the ideas of career academic administrators who, more likely than not, attended lesser schools than the one they are charged with reinventing?" How does Mr. Colfelt determine which schools are "lesser" or "greater" than Dartmouth?

Campus leaders present ideas

By Craig Colfelt | July 12, 1999

I read with interest Sarah Rubenstein's article of July 8, 1999, "Controversial Social Space Ideas Fill Report." Her last paragraph lists the names of those people who submitted Proposal 26 of the Task Force Report, the part discussing single-sex housing.

Bugs and Pants

By Courtney Henning | July 8, 1999

Sophomore summer has brought to my life a beautiful new pastime - bug bite counting. I'm from Los Angeles and although as a camp counselor I spent most of my past summers outdoors, I've never come close to accumulating the number of bite marks that I have at present count.

Summer Days

By Eric Ogden | July 2, 1999

I must admit, I first agreed to write this column with a very specific motive in mind. Finally, I had found a forum to complain about the serious lack of air conditioning here at Dear Old Dartmouth.

"Not Me"

By Dan Pollock | June 30, 1999

In the well-known cartoon, "The Family Circus," when the children are asked who is to blame for mishaps, they immediately point to "Not Me," an invisible creature who is responsible for every mess, every broken window, and every stray roller skate.

Our Responsibility

By Christine Percheski | June 30, 1999

Last summer, I had a Dartmouth Partners in Community Service (DPICS) Internship in Boston. My internship gave me first-hand knowledge and unfiltered exposure to the lives of some of Boston's poorest and most destitute citizens.

Hey '01s!

By Janelle Ruley | June 28, 1999

Jenica Rosekrans '00 died three weeks ago. Did you get that? Let me repeat it. Jenica Rosekrans '00 died three weeks ago.

Life in the Kidney League

By Rob Valet | June 25, 1999

My younger sister, Emmy, is starting school next year at Williams, putting Ma and Pa Valet in the somewhat unenviable position of paying for two kids at rather expensive schools.

Stories of our Lives

By Priscilla Stearns | June 25, 1999

The Croatian countryside was beautiful, fruitful, and fertile, like the land of milk and honey. Green buttercupped fields with clean cows knee deep in clover, and beyond, blossoming orchards busy with bees, and yet further beyond blue forested mountains.

Where'd Everybody Go?

By Andy Louis | May 28, 1999

Oh wait, they never showed up! All the people who wanted to come up with a vision, who admitted change was necessary and who said they were going to commit to thinking about and really changing Dartmouth ...what happened to all of you?

Panarachy will Never Associate with the Greek System

By Vince Cannon | May 28, 1999

To the Editor: Panarchy is not, nor will it ever again be a part of the legacy of brutality that Dartmouth College calls "The Greek System." For those of you caught off guard, we are referring specifically to resolution number six (or what's left of it) that was passed at Tuesday's meeting of the Student Assembly.

A Tribute

By Kevan Higgins | May 28, 1999

One of the things on everybody's mind lately is tradition. Many people feel that students are powerless to maintain tradition because of the impermanent nature of a student body at a four-year college.

Better than the Real World

By Liam Kuhn | May 28, 1999

I'm almost done with my first year here atDartmouth. As I look back on a year that went by unbelievably quickly, I can say one thing with relative certainty: so far, I've had a pretty good time here despite all the administration's proposed "improvements." Maybe this year wasn't really the Dartmouth experience I had hoped for or expected, but it was a worthwhile one nonetheless. And with the future of Dartmouth's social options in question, I'd like to say I envy the graduating seniors because they get to leave before the boom is lowered and Dartmouth is transformed into a failed social-planning experiment; a Harvard-North without the prestige or nearby city. But I don't really envy the graduating students.
