Bye-Bye, Love; Hello, Happiness

By Amanda Molk | May 12, 1998

Maybe it was springtime, with all the flowers in bloom filling the air with sweet, soft scents. Or maybe it was each of my girlfriends, one by one, becoming captured by her own springtime romance.

An Apology

By Kenji Hosokawa | May 11, 1998

Several astute readers of my columns have observed that my opinions often waver between antithetical positions.

My Independent Study

By Allison Carter | May 8, 1998

I don't know about you, but I'm not someone who coughs very often. I only cough when I'm choking on a french fry (which happens often given my "Zone" diet) or when I'm deathly ill.

A Real Hero

By Denise Saunders | May 8, 1998

After almost four years of getting annoyed at every editorial I read in The Dartmouth, either for their lack of content or because the content was extremely offensive or irritating, I have decided that instead of complaining, I'm going to write about something that is important to me.

Quantity or Quality?

By Courtney Henning | May 6, 1998

Occasionally, I find myself sucked into a conversation that needs to be immortalized in a movie. A couple of Saturdays ago, I found myself drawn into one of these conversations, but since I'm not about to stay up nights slaving away on a screenplay, I'll just have to preserve the experience in a D column. My roommate Kelly and I were returning to our dorm, unaware of the crowd of guys gathered on the Morton couches.

Random Kindness

By Nell Shanahan | May 6, 1998

A couple of years ago, my dad gave me a book about random acts of kindness. It contained numerous stories about people who, for no apparent reason, did good deeds for other human beings -- whether that involved helping a stranger in need or paying the toll cost for a couple of cars on the highway after they passed through the gate. When I received the gift from my Dad, although thankful for the gesture, I soon dismissed the book as just another one of those "feel-good" concepts that he had found to include in another one of his numerous speeches.

It's Not Easy Being Kiewit

By Dave Gacioch | May 5, 1998

It's not easy being Kiewit ... at least not in the past two weeks. Think about it for a second. Not only do Director Larry Levine and his staff have students beating down their doors about the new policy in public printing (distribution on the half-hour) and the new strict enforcement of the ban against printing multiple copies, but they have, in the past week or so, had to weather the storms of leaving nearly one-fourth of the campus without BlitzMail for extended periods of time and almost losing the student records of the financial aid and admissions offices.

Bacon is Good

By Mark Shahinian | May 4, 1998

So here's my dilemma: as a student at what will soon be one of the world's great research universities, which of man's two purposes do I try to fulfill?

Dartmouth Students Should Be Grateful for Kiewit's Free Printing Service

By Ned Holbrook | May 4, 1998

To the Editor: Rarely am I so flabbergasted as I was when I read Amanda Molk's editorial on April 29 about Kiewit's printing policies ["Printing Policies are Inconvenient," The Dartmouth]. "Socio-economic class lines"? "Violate students' rights"? Get real. Free printing is a service that is virtually unique to Dartmouth and yet all I ever hear is complaining.

A Fixture in Hanover

By Roy Lee | May 1, 1998

These days, whenever you read the front page of any newspaper, you read about some sex scandal, murder or bombing.
