Too Damn Short

|

Well, here it is -- August, the third part of the term. We have been taking classes for nearly two months, and have only 17 days until final exams begin (17 DAYS!!!). Of course, I'm sure that all of you out there have been keeping up with work, so there is no need to panic.

Gift Certificate Inappropriate Reward for SAGE Event

|

To the Editor: In a Monday, July 21, article in The Dartmouth ["SAGE Focuses on Gender Interactions"], SAGE co-Chairs Greg Neichin and Posy Evans announced their plans to organize a kickball tournament to encourage healthy gender relations and expand Greek interaction to venues beyond the basements and pong tables.

|

To the Editor: I would hope that Brian Reilly recognizes that a reasonable and open discussion of the morality of abortion deserves more than the loosely reasoned "spiel" he presented in his column this past Wednesday ["A Brave New World: No Fetus Can Beat Us," July 23, 1997]. As someone who disagrees with his conclusions and holds to different opinions, I would at least like to respect his arguments, but I cannot.

Initially Speaking

E says: Cranking out article after article to meet deadlines can be pretty tough, especially on those days when good ideas are as hard to squeeze out as that last bit of toothpaste at the bottom of the tube.

Tobacco Wars: Who'll Get Smoked?

|

These days in the U.S., it seems like the government has declared open war on tobacco companies. Recent national laws have forbidden tobacco billboards within 1,000 feet of schools, free gifts with tobacco purchases, and at the center of it all ... lawmakers have raised prospects of increased cigarette taxes, and a new tobacco settlement may soon be reached.

A Call to the Pen

This term, in addition to fumbling through columns for this newspaper, I've been working on writing short stories for English 82, the fiction course.
