Hate Has No Place on My Door

|

I am a victim of hate. Returning to my dorm on what was supposed to be a festive Green Key Saturday (I was admittedly inebriated after several rounds of herbal tea at the Green Bean Cafe) I stumbled onto a cesspool of hatred.

Stats All, Folks

|

A friend recently told me that 75 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. I, in response, employing many valuable statistics of my own, called her a big stupid liar.

The Last Big Weekend

|

Fearing that this past weekend might be my last "big" weekend at Dartmouth due to the Social and Residential Initiative, I wanted to write a scathing column that mocked the Trustees and their illogical decisions while defending the Greek system that I wholeheartedly support.

A Service Break

|

We are in the middle of what might come to be remembered as one of the most turbulent times in Dartmouth history, one of diverging student interests, and a widening gap between those associated with one group or another.

Peanut Butter Wars

|

After the events of this weekend, I believeI have found a way to combine the forces of good and evil into one amazingly beautiful, awesome event.

A Gift Beyond Price

|

Sure, the money caught my eye. The ad in the classifieds under "Miscellaneous" shouts in bold letters, "$35,000 for your eggs." Flip the page and look - it's still there.

I Blame the Barbies

|

Hello, my name is Robert and I am a drug addict. Actually, just kidding. But now that I finished my bio exam in one more or less intact piece, I must say that that Vivarin stuff is bad news.

Through 'Shmen Eyes

|

This past weekend I got to re-view Dartmouth through 'shmen eyes. Last Wednesday, my sister, who is a member of the incoming class of 2003, came up to visit me.

Poor Planning

|

There is a very important vote on campus today:Coke or Pepsi. Oh wait, there's another vote that will decide the future of social life at the College, but no one knows what's going on with that because the electoral process for it is a disaster. Few people besides the candidates themselves know who is running for the position of Trustee Steering Committee representative, and even those who have seen the names likely don't know the candidates or for what they stand. There was a single, sparsely-attended, hour-long information session held last night, and there were no statements or platforms publicized to the student body until last night when the campus was blitzed a 15-page Word document they were expected to download and read to find out about the candidates.

Poor Planning

Nothing is the same anymore. When I was growing up, way back in the early 90s, we didn't listen to the music of a pallid, adrogenous "singer" named Marilyn Manson.



Opinion

No More Greeks

|

Or so the administration says. Last Monday, the administration issued a moratorium on the Coed, Fraternity and Sorority Council, prohibiting the recognition of any new Greek social organizations on campus.

The Contra Complex

|

When it comes to Nintendo, I am a fan of your old school, Mario-esque adventure games; so last October when my roommate blessed our double with the original 8 bit NES, I quickly attached myself to Super Mario Bros.
