When Praise is Due
I have a very unsettled feeling in my stomach. I can accept that the job world will hit me in T-minus two years.

To the Editor: While I realize that deadlines must be met, and time constraints can seriously affect final product, is it necessary to mention that an Assembly meeting is reminiscent of past Assemblies and then to specifically name Danielle Moore '95 and Rukmini Sichitiu '95? In your article yesterday ["Assembly endorses ethnic studies courses," May 7, 1997, The Dartmouth], it seemed repetitive and unfair to twice mention the past.
The other day in my eleven o'clock class we were discussing how we know what the weather will be like.
Early on Saturday morning, as I and many others walked out to the Bema amid the light and grimy rainshower, we stood ready to venture out into the "real world" for a few hours: the DarCORPS project was about to reach fruition.
Ugh. Waking up Sunday morning is rarely a pleasant experience. Everything was pointing to this being one of the worst wake-ups in my life.
As the weather continues to warm up and students studying on the Green continue to strip down (some more so than others), your eyes probably wander to the same place that mine do -- the mountains beyond.
To the Editor: As the president and vice-president of Delta Delta Delta sorority, we are continually discussing and promoting the role of the sorority system on this campus and the reasons we are proud to be members of the Greek system.
The time has finally arrived for our nation's federal judges to temporarily remove their black judicial robes in order to get fitted for their new white laboratory coats.
Since I'll be graduating soon (such tragedy), I thought I'd present you all with a little wish list: the Top Ten Changes I Would Like to See Happen at this School after I'm Gone.
To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article entitled "Major Gender Discrepancies?" [April 30, 1997, The Dartmouth]. While quoting statistics about the number of women majors in the sciences, she incompletely defines the science disciplines at Dartmouth as "biology, chemistry, engineering, computer science and physics." The article unfortunately left out Earth Sciences and Mathematics.
I'm no internet junkie, but I am hooked on the mountains of information that can be found with one swift push of a button.
Last term, my fellow staff columnist Sam Bonderoff wrote a series of humorous columns in which he satirically characterized many of the majors at Dartmouth.
At a school where the student population is so academically driven and people always seem to be overextended, it is truly reassuring that there has been such an overwhelming response to DarCORPS -- the Dartmouth Community OutReach ProjectS. DarCORPS is the largest community service effort organized at Dartmouth in recent memory.
Imagine waking up at 9:30 (Yes, 9:30 A.M.) on a sunny Spring morning, sitting up in your bed and stretching that last bit of sleep out of yourself.
To the Editor: Tomorrow, 550 students and 50 administrators, faculty and staff will devote their Saturday to our community.
To the Editor: After reading the article "Major Gender Discrepancies" [April 30, 1997, The Dartmouth], I found myself quite disturbed by, among a number of things, certain quotations, or better, generalizations, by WISP Director Mary Pavone.
To the Editor: The Administration knew that students would not vote for a mandatory $800 per term meal plan.
To the Editor: It has recently been brought to my attention that a certain campus purveyor of greasy goodness has instituted a systematic program designed to insult the economic foundation of the Dartmouth student population.
If you went out this weekend you may have noticed the hordes of parents wandering around campus. They were the ones with the all too conspicuous name tags and the varying shades of green apparel.
Earlier this month, Cara Abercrombie '97 and I had the opportunity to attend the National Low Income Housing Coalition's Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.
