Economcis Not Sole Path to Success

By Brian Maloney | September 29, 1997

Arriving at the end of orientation week and jumping into classes, I find myself fighting to contain my excitement -- the introduction to new courses, interesting professors, and the incredible academic and social community of the campus; all have engendered a feeling among most freshmen that borders on "irrational exuberance," in the words of Alan Greenspan.

Housing Hysteria

By Shaunda E. Miles | September 29, 1997

After reading Justin Carrino's July 9th column in The Dartmouth, "Affinity housing is a Joke," I was pleasantly surprised to hear that affinity housing was/is an issue that "causes the greatest volume of debate among students at Dartmouth." However, my question is ... who are these students?

No Secret To Recognizing Shmen

By Marcia Yablon | September 26, 1997

I returned to Dartmouth a week early in order to get re-acclimated to being at school. I needed time to set up my room and my accounts and time to stop referring to myself as a '99 -- although our grades may change, we're zeros for life.

By Janelle Ruley | September 25, 1997

On Coronations and Successions

By Lee Istrail | September 25, 1997

A few weeks ago, I visited my high school in New Mexico, and it was a visit like none before it -- in complete calmness, and not without some sadness, I revisited the hallowed ground upon which my golden, final two years of high school had been etched. The first time I came back to visit (the summer after I graduated), I was inexplicably nervous, and felt acutely out of place (or "obtusely in place," whichever way you wanna cut the angle). After exchanging a friendly hug, a girl asked me, "Geez, why are you shaking?" After I told her Geez was actually one of my friends, I realized I couldn't answer the question.

Education: A Special Gift to Give

By Devon Bonady | September 24, 1997

Here at Dartmouth, many people are involved in volunteer organizations. However, not everyone in the student body is aware that the Tucker Foundation keeps growing and growing: Students who are eager to use their academic skills to help others learn gravitate to the Opportunities in Education program; the Prison Project allows students to teach inmates at community prisons; cute little kids look up to those Dartmouth students that read to them in Book Buddies; students from different cultural backgrounds share their experiences with elementary school children; special friends volunteers take care of disabled children; helping out at the local high schools and elementary schools is a rewarding and fun experience. Everyone loves to work with little kids!

The Beginning of a Different Year

By Aaron Klein | September 23, 1997

Welcome back. It's time to start one more trip around the seasons, Fall, Winter, and Mud. I thought I'd chip in a few thought, ideas, and greetings concerning yet another year at Dartmouth. Seniors: Wow, I haven't seen most of you in at least three terms.

Freshmen, Thy Name is Hal

By Raymond R. Gilliar | September 23, 1997

Ah, Dartmouth. This school is now ours, the playground, the proscenium, of the 2001s. I do enjoy being called a "one." I was born on the first day of the first month of the year, so the number one is my talisman.
