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.

What About Housing?

By Eric Powers | May 28, 1999

Earlier this year, the Board of Trustees issued an unexpected set of five principles that would "characterize the future residential and social life of students at the College." Most students took this to mean that the precious Greek system was to go, and nearly every major national newspaper concurred.

Opinion

Complete Independence

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | May 27, 1999

The signing of a long-term lease with the College for The Dartmouth's current space in Robinson Hall is a historic event in the 200-year history of America's oldest college newspaper. For years, The Dartmouth has been independent from the College - in spirit.

I'm Disappointed

By Marc Fenigstein | May 27, 1999

This is a response both to the house editorial "But what do you really want?" (May 26th, Op-Ed), and to what I witnessed at the Student Assembly meeting on Tuesday night.

Past their Bedtime

By Rob Valet | May 26, 1999

Disclaimer: If you haven't seen "The Phantom Menace," you may not want to read this. Last Friday my friends and I went to see "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace Featuring A Dozen Retarded Little Boys." At least that was the version of it we got.

Opinion

But what do you really want?

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | May 26, 1999

The passion and emotion surrounding the Trustees' Initiative hasmanifested itself in a student body split in two opposing directions, and this lack of a clear direction made itself apparent at the Student Assembly meeting last night.

A Day at the Ballpark

By Conor Dugan | May 25, 1999

Written into the script of American history is the game, the institution of baseball. For too long I had forgotten about the great game that is so peculiarly American.

Opinion

Classroom Eaters

By Abbye Meyer | May 25, 1999

Creative eaters, bizarre consumers of food, have made their marks everywhere. Just in my own little corner of the world, for example, I enjoy the habits of my hallmates, who consistently shove repulsive items like icing, marshmallow fluff, honey-mustard pretzels and Balance Bars into their starving little mouths. In recent weeks, however, a hallmate and I have discovered a very rare breed of food consumers, an artistic bunch of hungry animals: the classroom eaters.

A Mission With a Moral

By Scott Brown | May 24, 1999

The mission of Dartmouth College has evolved through the years, as it should. The needs of our country and society have changed, and the College has sought to meet those needs.

Opinion

A Lack of Tact?

By Dave Gacioch | May 21, 1999

Is it possible that Dartmouth Trustee Susan Dentzer '77 just has no tact? It can't be! After all, she is a well-respected correspondent for The News Hour with Jim Lehrer on PBS, so she has obviously learned to choose her words carefully at some point along the way.

Civil Discourse Committee Releases Report

By Scott Brown | May 21, 1999

To the Editor: The Committee on Civil Discourse was formed in November 1997 "to keep current in the community discussions and considerations of how we interact with each other through our speech and actions." The Committee has met each month during the past year to review and discuss the state of discourse on campus.

Our Only Hope

By Scott Jacobs | May 20, 1999

I'm really worried about our College now. Not that I haven't been in the past, but the composition of the Trustee Steering Committee has me concerned more than usual.

Opinion

Forwards Backwards?

By Jeff Deck | May 20, 1999

I love people. I think the single fact that would make love, truth, and God plausible is the existence of our fellow human beings, and our ability to have relationships and friendships with them extends this plausibility. However, sometimes I just wanna choke the life out of someone when they send me another ridiculous forward.
