The Heart of Dartmouth

|

In the weeks that led up to my arrival at Dartmouth, virtually every high school and college student that I spoke with told me emphatically to keep my mind open to a wide variety of academic possibilities.

Cash Rules

It has been amusing to read the responses to Kenji Hosokawa's article on September 24, in which he was charitable enough to venture to the freshmen a few words of advice about how to manage their four years here.

Intoxication On Public Property, and Expecially at Cemetary, is Not Tolerated

|

To the Editor: As Hanover's Town Manager, I feel it is appropriate to respond to your September 23 house editorial regarding the enforcement priorities of the Hanover Police Department. The Dartmouth Community may not be aware of the numerous problems experienced by the town in the Old Dartmouth Cemetery over the past few years, largely resulting from the activities of groups of young adults who have used the cemetery as a party location.

|

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

|

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

|

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.

The Cable Memo

|

I have to admit, my first reaction to the 'cable memo' that we all found upon moving in was one of excitement.
