Show Us the Money

By Amanda Molk | November 5, 1998

Money makes the world go around -- it wouldn't be a cliche if there weren't at least a tiny shread of truth in it.

Live Your Journey

By Lorenzo Chambers | November 4, 1998

Surreal is how I describe my return to campus. Removed as a student since 1985, my return this fall as an administrator presents the opportunity to learn how Dartmouth operates and lives within me.

Back to the Basics

By Liam Kuhn | November 4, 1998

I have the routine down pretty well now. I wake up and fall out of bed at two in the afternoon, throw on some sandals, a coat and my hat and brave the outside world just long enough to slip into the Hop.

The Dangers of Caffeine

By Abbye Meyer | October 30, 1998

Obviously, people around here have not seen enough "Saved by the Bell." Lack of exposure to this quality television program has become apparent this week with an irreverent attitude towards a serious issue: the use of caffeine pills.

Completely freaking out when Zack told her it was time to perform, Jessie cried on her friend's shoulder.

Soda Wars

By Liam Kuhn | October 30, 1998

I don't really like soda or pop or soda pop or fizz or whatever it's called. I prefer my carbonated beverages to have a little more hop in them (and barley, and yeast).

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | October 29, 1998

While the Assembly portrayed its gesture as a symbolic and altruistic donation, its ability to return one-sixth of its yearly budget is somewhat disquieting.
