Give Me Dormitories or Give Me Death
I was wandering around campus this week-end in search of a campus dining establishment that was open for business when I happened to overhear a conversation.

Dowd Misrepresented Case
Every time that I have a break and get to see high school friends, I begin questioning whether Dartmouth is all that it is cracked up to be.
Students criticizing the changes Dartmouth Dining Services implemented for the Summer term must realize that cutbacks both in hours and services are a necessary and yearly response to decreased summer business. Also, during last term's referendum, students overwhelmingly indicated their preference for DDS cutbacks over increased mandatory spending.
Actions speak louder than words. That is one philosophical idea that I have come to believe in. However, when one applies this criterion, one is usually disappointed.
I used to be a very happy, optimistic person. I believed in such positive ideas as democracy, human kindness and salary caps.
In 1984, I had a Cabbage Patch doll named Frederika Joanie. I also owned nine My Little Ponies and the Dream Stable.
I was to meet U.S. House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt one Saturday last term in Durham, N.H., at a brief little Young Dems function ("join us for coffee and danish," the flyer said.
Maybe, after all, it's not so bad going to Dartmouth. For four years (or as many as eight years for some of us) we are pampered, patted on our respective backs, told zillions of time that we are "the best and brightest." Time passes, and many of us begin to believe the ego-stroking.
To the Editor: I don't like writing. Especially in the D. But I'm concerned about some recent coverage.
I'm sure few of us missed the recent uproar when Dartmouth was ranked #1 in the nation by U.S. News and World Report in the "Best Professors" category.
To the Editor: The Principle of Community states: "The life and work of a Dartmouth student should be based on integrity, responsibility and consideration.
Hale-Bopp comet is just an insignificant white speck in the sky, someone was quoted as saying in the Dartmouth.
To the Editor, In the May 23 issue of The Dartmouth, the bold, front-page headline read, "Police execute search of Tabard." The officers of the Tabard find the article not only in the poorest of taste, but also blatantly misleading and bad journalism.
To the Editor: In the courtyard leading to the Hinman boxes, there is a plaque listing the names of Dartmouth graduates killed in World War II and the Korean War; it is a long list.
My first year at this school I anxiously attended graduation and said good-bye to a few good friends, but knew very well that life would go on without the Class of 1995.
To the Editor: I am deeply disturbed by the make-up of the executives selected by president-elect of the Student Assembly Frode Eilertsen '99. The power of the President to essentially pick anyone on this campus to fill the roles of chairs of vital committees such as Administration and Faculty Relations, Academic Affairs and Student Life, is very exiting and yet dangerous. The Student Assembly's executive board ought to be as diverse as the SA itself and the student body.
To the Editor: Part of my growing uneasiness regarding the Student Assembly over the past two years stemmed from the leadership's adamant unwillingness to deal with difficult issues. When a leader is dedicated to being noncontroversial, that leader can only do two things in the face of a difficult situation.
I was saddened by President Freedman's comment in the Tuesday issue of The Dartmouth that he withheld the announcement of our commencement speaker "so students would not protest for someone more famous." I was further dismayed to hear student reactions all day Tuesday.
