Shedding Light on Metaphors

|

I'm noticing a growing trend in American writing style that I find particularly disturbing, indeed almost as disturbing as the gospel singers in the Odor-Eaters commercial I just saw a minute ago.

A Culture of Scorn

|

I think I finally figured it out. This Columbine massacre has really gotten me thinking lately. And for someone who is more conditioned to violence than a seven year-old watching the Ultimate Fighting Championship this is an odd thing.

Join Up

|

Last night four students were elected to the Membership and Internal Affairs Committee of the Student Assembly.

The Process

|

Ten days ago, we were elected. Right away, we were confronted with the question of how to choose the two students for the newly-announced trustee steering committee.

Deliver This!

|

I hosted a prospective student last weekend, and as we sat in EBA's -- that pantheon of fine Italian cuisine -- it became increasingly apparent that he would attend Dartmouth.

Trustees in the Playground

|

While I commend Josh Green's efforts to be honest with himself and the rest of the campus, I feel that he has fallen into the trap of only being able to read facts and see things from one side, but this time it is the side of the Trustees. When I applied to Dartmouth I was aware of the Greek social scene and I would guess many of my peers were as well.

Green Fails to see Women's Place in the Greek System

|

To the Editor: Josh Green asserts, in his half of the point/counterpoint columns, that "the Greek System, directly and indirectly, demeans women" (The Dartmouth, April 27, 1999). I would just like to remind Josh that eight members of the "Greek System" include women.

Breadsticks by a Landslide

|

With another SA election season come and gone, I see you all were about as excited as I was. A whopping 2,198 of us bothered to vote at all, barely more than half the student body.

Some Things are Wrong

|

Last year at this time I was moved to write a column concerning a school shooting. The same horror has been repeated again this year.
