I've Got Issues...

By Janelle Ruley | September 25, 1997

I've Got Issues ... but, then who doesn't have issues these days? It's such a fun word to say; why not have issues too? Anyhow, what is my issue, you might ask.

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.

The ground is shaking beneath McNutt and it's not because of the construction work on Mass Row. With the release of her first book, A is for Admission: The Insider's Guide to Getting Into the Ivy League and Other Top Colleges, former Dartmouth Admissions Officer, Michele A.

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.

'Community' at Dartmouth

By Eric Delpozo | August 20, 1997

If Daniel Webster had been alive two hundred years later and living on-campus, his now-famous speech would probably have been something to the effect of, "As I have said, sir, it is a small college, but there are those who...wait, what the heck happened to my shampoo?" The fact is that while I'd like to remember sophomore summer as the term when I may have skipped class a little too much, played a lot of disc and got a pretty uneven tan in the process, I'll also remember it as the term that I discovered, for better or worse, what some students take to be the meaning of the term "community" at Dartmouth. One of the obvious benefits of on-campus living is a person's proximity to so many fellow undergraduates.

Buh-Bye

By Polina Globerman | August 20, 1997

C Says: P, can you believe Sophomore Summer is almost over? It flew by. P Says: I know. It seems like yesterday that I was a naive freshman looking forward to this pivotal summer of intense growth and maturity and drunken oblivion. C Says: Did it live up to your expectations? P Says: Well ... I was drunk.

The End is Near

By Kendra Kosko | August 18, 1997

The end is near. This isn't some apocalyptic message, just a reminder that within a matter of a week, give or take a few days, that we will all be upperclassmen and our class will be divided and scattered for the next four terms.

DDS: Thanks for Listening

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | August 18, 1997

DDS has made a step in the right direction by incorporating student opinion in its newly announced changes. Nearly 2,700 students participated in the Student Assembly-sponsored referendum, and an overwhelming majority voted to cut DDS services rather than pay for a mandatory $800-per-term meal plan. In response, DDS created a plan for Fall term that cuts and rearranges services to maximize student satisfaction and DDS profits. Topside Convenience Store will have new extended hours during the weekends, as well as during reading and exam periods.

On Language

By Kevin Findlan | August 14, 1997

As I read through Eric Del Pozo's "Some Words on Words ..." [The Dartmouth, August 8, 1997] I couldn't help but feel proud as he intoned the emotional power of language, of the myriad complexities it presents to us.
