The Real World

By John Renehan | April 1, 1999

Saving Private Ryan has won the Academy Award for Best Director. On the strength of this it is back in theaters, where it will do respectable business for a while, then fade away.

South of the Border

By Eric Del Pozo | March 31, 1999

Ladies and gentlemen, it is that time of year again - time to kick off the shoes, lay back, relax and watch 64 of the world's best teams slug it out with each other for the title.

South of the Border

By Rob Valet | March 31, 1999

I just wanted to take the opportunity to inform you that I had a most wonderful winter term on the Spanish LSA in Puebla, Mexico, while you all froze in Hanover.

Taking it Seriously

By Josh Zemel | March 30, 1999

Josh Green's Student Assembly is always earnestly promising to reform -- along with everything else at Dartmouth -- the faculty advisor program.

A Night at Africaso

By Ashok Ramasubramanian | March 30, 1999

It was night of Saturday the 28th of Febru- ary. I went to the charity dinner organized by Africaso to generate funds to aid the civilians of Sierra Leone, where peace is shattered by a brutal and bloody civil war.

Moral Murder?

By Scott Brown | March 30, 1999

The conviction for murder of Jack Kevorkian brings into stark relief a major moral issue of our time.

Last Summer

By Eric Buchman | March 29, 1999

Distracted Insomnia

By Abbye Meyer | March 9, 1999

Going to bed these past few weeks has been a nightmare ... except of course, a true nightmare would involve actually sleeping.

Strip for School Spirit

By Andrew Grossman | March 8, 1999

Avid readers of the Dartmouth may have noticed a pair of letters last week referring to an incident in which our own football team hired a stripper to entice a potential student.

An Alcoholic Image

By Catherine McCarthy | March 8, 1999

So you come to Dartmouth and what do you know about this place? Do you think of the beautiful mountains, the idyllic hamlet known as Hanover where the college exists or do you think of the movie Animal House or a pervasive drinking culture that has all of the students at the pong table every weekend?

Rising Reputation and Intellectual Mediocrity

By William C. Dowling | March 5, 1999

To the Editor: Having been at Dartmouth during the countercultural '60s, when fraternities were a negligible presence on campus, I've had no opinion about them one way or the other. In listening to the defenders of frats over the last few weeks, though, I've come to see that the controversy is masking a deeper issue. Dartmouth has always had -- we all know this is true: it's the wince in the night of every Dartmouth graduate -- a tradition of intellectual mediocrity.

The World as it Ought to Be

By Brian Reilly | March 5, 1999

The world as it ought to be. Which is to say, upside down. "God I love to turn my little blue world upside down" (Tori Amos, "Upside down"). I'd like to tell you about a recent conversation between me and a woman of extraordinary, indeed I said "singular," beauty.

Potentialities

By Janelle Ruley | March 4, 1999

Would that I were an anthropologist. Or a sociologist. Or even a psychologist. What better way to understand the place our beloved College on the Hill has become of late?

The Things Dartmouth Does Not Yet Know

By Jean Hudson | March 3, 1999

In 1990, I matriculated at Middlebury College. It was the year when Middlebury's fraternities (there were no sororities, due to a lack of interest) allegedly met their demise. So ... how come I was still going to Middlebury fraternity parties when I was a senior, in 1994? Fraternities at Middlebury did not die, as the college had intended.

The Day the Greek System Died

By Douglas Fenton | March 2, 1999

Picture this: Four or five guys are living on the same floor in a dorm their freshman year. Some play the same sports, some are interested in the same activities: pretty much, they all get along really well and become close friends.
