The Real Freshman Guide to Dartmouth
On picking courses: I'm sure you all heard that the average grade for courses like Music 4 and Philosophy 8 is an A, and most of you are all signing up for them, expecting an easy A.

So I was thinking ... about heroes. What does it mean to have a hero today? Most of us are at a point in our lives where we don't necessarily look up to others in a purely idolatrous way.
I've heard it said many times that this has been a "quiet" summer. While I personally take exception to that, I think it is true in many ways.
To the Editor: I am writing in regards to an editorial I read published on Monday, August 17 entitled, "Are You Nuts?" I am absolutely appalled that an attitude as blatantly sexist rose from a Dartmouth community member, and worse, was given voice in The Dartmouth.
To the Editor: I would just like to say that I am absolutely infuriated about the article in the August 17th issue of The Dartmouth by Roy Lee about President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky.
To the Editor: I recently read Lee's editorial "Are You Nuts" published Monday, August 17.
Okay, how many of you had 99s tell you that the summer is a very chill time, because professors understand that it is summer and therefore assign less work?
I didn't want to write about Clinton. I don't like writing articles about the news of the week, especially when it's gossipy scandalous stuff.
Many students have informally voiced complaints about the fines on campus in the past, and it is timely that this be addressed as we begin preparations for the new school year.
To the Editor: In his Random Thoughts editorial entitled "Are You Nuts?" [The Dartmouth 8/17] Roy Lee '00 urges the Dartmouth community to condemn the president because of his "bad taste in women." He suggests that, if a man who "can have anybody he wants" dates a woman deemed "chunky and ugly," then he is "stupid" and undeserving of respect. Rather than use up too many precious column inches parsing Lee's various insulting and callous assertions, let me point out three things.
As much as many hoped it would be (including Bill Clinton), Monday's developments are most definitely not the end of this sad and sordid chapter in the Clinton Presidency.
If Clinton has to be impeached, I think he should be impeached not because he perjured himself and lied about his affairs but because the man lacks common sense and has bad taste in women. Let's say you are the President of The United States, entrusted with America's hopes and dreams.
Imagine being a carrot. On the lunch tray amongst leftover cauliflower and dill pickles, Dartmouth student X drops you in the garbage can.
Next fall I am participating in a transfer program at the University of Edinburgh, but it is not one affiliated with Dartmouth.
I was sitting in my engineering class and my teacher asked who were the budding journalists in the class.
Today, of course, it is customary to collapse, if not overwrite, our individual characteristics into new, but now acceptable, stereotypes." Those were the words of Clarence Thomas this past week as he spoke to the National Bar Association.
There is something decidedly unnatural about taking classes during the summer. I become painfully aware of this every morning when I wake up to the beautiful sunshine and sigh contentedly.
Ah, parent's weekend. The joys of parading your kin all over campus to be ogled by your friends and associates.
After hearing that the Green Card, a corporation run by former Dartmouth students, is taking over the DASH office, I thought it would be a great idea to see other student-run organizations take over College offices.
