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 Juice on Admissions

By Adam J. Siegel | September 23, 1997

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.

A Defense of Chemistry

By John Garber | August 12, 1997

Eric Del Pozo presents an interesting case for the joys of language, but the piece is riddled with illogical arguments and blatant inconsistencies ["Some Words on Words ...," The Dartmouth, August 8, 1997]. He argues that the world is "not an objective edifice, and should not be treated as such," yet a few lines later, makes the normative assertion that "works of literature, from Plato to Hemingway, are inherently more valuable than any scientific manual." Inherently?

Some Words on Words...

By Eric Del Pozo | August 8, 1997

Language is a many-splendored thing. When used effectively, it is a tool that allows for the communication of thoughts and preferences like no other known to humans since the beginning of civilization.

Gore's Address at DMS Symposium Private, Not in Spaulding

By Heinz Valtin | August 6, 1997

To the Editor: The article about Vice-President Gore's visit to Dartmouth, published on August 4 ["Gore to speak at DMS symposium"], gave an incorrect impression in two respects: that the Vice President would be speaking in Spaulding Auditorium, and that his speech would be open to the public.
