On Elitism at Dartmouth

|

Close your eyes and pretend that you are someone who is unaffiliated with Dartmouth. And then imagine what would be the first images to come to your mind when the name Dartmouth College was mentioned.

Summer Lovin'

|

C Says: P, have you noticed that everyone seems to be obsessed with relationships this summer? P Says: Yeah, I don't think The Dartmouth has had an issue yet without some article about love, or lack of it.

Rollerblading Professional

|

Let's face it -- there's nothing quite like rollerblading. Although many people are frightened by crazy rollerbladers, I think that we should take kindly to this popular sport and its participants.

Don't Call Me an Epsilon

|

Just a few nights before I returned to sunny Hanover to spend my entire summer entrenched in the quagmire of academia, I was fortunate enough to be privy to something that I found both odd and quite normal at the same time.

No Fear

|

New and popular recreational sports, such as rollerblading, inevitably bring with them a number of beginners.

The Real Asgard

|

During Green Key weekend last term, I and some fellow Asgardians had been drumming up publicity for our Green Key Dance (especially me, for I am the Publicity Exec.) when we encountered an unkind response to one of the event blitzes.

Romance, Dartmouth Style

|

I started my Tuesday morning fresh with column ideas, all of which seemed to vanish the moment I picked up The Dartmouth and read through Justin Carrino's comment on "Love, Dartmouth Style" [July 1, 1997]. (Let's face it: he's right about the preponderance of talk about love and romance among college students.) I, too, see the "common-law marriages" and the one-night stands taking place.


Opinion

DarTalk Is Not Cheap

|

DarTalk needs substantial reorganization in order to better serve its customers, the students. Its current management isinconvenient, disorganized and the source of much frustration. Student complaints about unfair rates are unfounded and inaccurate -- current rates are about 10 percent off what we would be charged by AT&T for long distances.









Opinion

DDS, Help Us Help You

|

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.

Is Anyone Watching?

|

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.
