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.

Real-Life Heroes

|

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.


Opinion

A Quiet Summer

|

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.

Lee's Column Hurts and Offends

|

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.

Lee's Column Hurts and Offends

|

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.

Mea Culpa

|

Do you remember the soccer player who accidentally scored for the other team during the last World Cup?

The End of Summer

|

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?

Stop the Fines

|

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.

Lee's Column Reflective of Insensitive Cultural Attitudes

|

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.

It's not over yet

|

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.


Opinion

Are You Nuts?

|

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.

The New Racism

|

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.


Opinion

Green Thoughts

|

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.


Opinion

Parents

|

Ah, parent's weekend. The joys of parading your kin all over campus to be ogled by your friends and associates.


Opinion

A Student Takeover

|

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.
