Not My Dartmouth

By Laura Mannix | April 17, 1997

You know, I've heard that Dartmouth is like the date rape capital of the world." So said Karen as we walked down the hall of our all-girls high school in April of 1993. "And where did you hear that?" I asked defensively. I had a reason to be defensive; in the four days since I'd been accepted to Dartmouth, I'd already heard that there were no women here, that the Greek system was so big and all-powerful that if you were not a member of a sorority or a fraternity you had better resign yourself to having no friends and that there were no Catholics here.

Poll: The Dartmouth's Duty is to Report the News, Not Influence or Create It

By Dave Gacioch | April 17, 1997

To the Editor: With Tuesday's front-page article "Eilertsen '99 leads on election eve," The Dartmouth once again demonstrated its insatiable appetite to exert influence over the leadership of the Dartmouth student body. The response rate of 13.8 percent on the newspaper's poll rendered the study useless for any prognosis of election results, yet The Dartmouth considered it news.

Silence

By Ellen Wight | April 17, 1997

When I was twelve, I went to the bathroom one morning to brush my teeth and found a book lying on the counter: "Ann Landers Talks to Teenagers About Sex." "Ahhhh, I thought.

Am I Looking at a Rapist?

By Anne Kanyusik | April 15, 1997

Not long ago, I met a man at a meeting. He was good-looking and seemed nice, and, since we attended similar events and had common interests, we chatted for awhile.

VOTE

The election for next year's Student Assembly, Class Council, Green Key and Committee on Standards representatives begins today, and all undergraduates should vote. A large turnout in the election will show students' faith in their elected representatives.

Vote for Eilertsen, Altman

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 14, 1997

In what has been a campaign devoid of much real debate, presidential candidate Frode Eilertsen '99 and vice presidential candidate Dave Altman '99 emerge from a rather unspectacular field as the two best people to lead the Student Assembly next year. Eilertsen appears best able to handle the two tasks that are required of an Assembly president -- earning the respect of the other Assembly members and acting as a leader that students across all sections of campus feel confident will represent them. Eilertsen's ideas about making the Assembly more effective and increasing the flow of information to students are still nebulous at best.

One Bad Apple

By Marc Yasuda | April 14, 1997

I'm running in Central Park, with only Tom Petty's just another "Face In The Crowd" (read: how I felt in New York City) for company.

Trash Television

By Matt Mcdonald | April 11, 1997

How I miss it. All right, that isn't really true. My television viewing, even when I'm home is limited to about two shows, but I do miss some of the fine programming that you come across while channel surfing the upper reaches of the dial.

Don't Be Afraid To Take A Chance

By Sarah Allyson Hall | April 11, 1997

I must admit that I've resigned myself to post-graduation unemployment. After explaining, over and over, ad nauseam, the merits and downfalls of the infamous D-plan, I developed a mantra: "But, (fill in name of concerned adult here), having a summer term allows us an off-term during the year, so that it is easier for us to snag a high-powered internship and thusly prepare for a ridiculously successful career after graduation!" I would smile smugly, knowing that such an internship would give me the needed advantage to scale ruthlessly over the salivating masses of regular college students.

Old Issues, New Leader

By Unai Montes-Irueste | April 11, 1997

Last year Jon Heavey won the Student Assembly presidential election on the following platform: open up the Dartmouth telephone market; establish an Economics Department assessment of DDS; reform the service offices in McNutt Hall, especially the registrar; stagger the lunch hours of Dartmouth employees; keep Baker open; unlock all dorm doors; have Dartmouth Pride Dinners to build community. Do these issues sound familiar?
