The Last Bonfire

By Sam Bonderoff | April 29, 1997

Death. The Last Dance. The Big Sleep. The Grand Finale. The Toothless Grin. We are all born with one guarantee in life, and that is that at some point, perhaps eighty years or ten days down the line, we will die.

Sophomore Swing

By Lee Istrail | April 28, 1997

As I lay awake in bed a few nights ago thinking about how different I've felt this year as compared to last, my roommate muttered in his sleep, "It's true." Propelled by this harbinger of coincidence, I knew I was on to something momentous. Last year I felt altogether overwhelmed, unsure of how to deal with the hectic trimester schedule, dealing with a roommate, the blitzkrieg of opportunities available, the uber-students who participated in all of them, all the 'shmobs I felt left out of, and a few draconian classes in which I was apparently tested on how well I could read the profs' minds (I didn't flunk any, but ... two C+'s in the same term is a tad frustrating). But this year things aren't nearly as overwhelming, and last term I felt, for the first time, like a true sophomore.

What Fun!

By Joseph Peters | April 28, 1997

It's a story with a familiar theme: a musical genius persecuted by those who lack his talent. In this particular variation on Amadeus and Immortal Beloved, a gifted child thwarted in his creativity by the tyranny of his father overcomes many trials to fulfill the promise of his genius.

Divided, I Fell

By Cailin Nelson | April 25, 1997

When women's reactions to sexual assault are discussed, several common themes usually arise, including shame, a lowering of self esteem and fear of intimacy with men, even a difficulty interacting with men on non-sexual terms.

Sexual Assault Is Everyone's Issue

By Neil Desai | April 25, 1997

We were all drenched after the rainy night we took back last Friday evening during Sexual Assault Awareness Week (SAAW). I hope the fervor of the march, and that of the purposeful week, has not seeped underground along with the rain.

Do Men Really Suck?

By Amanda Dela Rosa | April 24, 1997

To the Editor: Many of my female friends believe that there is no contesting the fact that "Men Suck." I have personally not yet given up hope and believe that there must be some good men out there ... after all, all of our daddies had to come from somewhere!

Why You Should Care

By Chris Swift | April 23, 1997

Dartmouth students don't care. We are here to get our Ivy League degree, network with rich alumni, and then get to the business of making more money.

Dinner Diplomacy

By Julie Sloane | April 22, 1997

It happens all the time. You'll be walking down the street, sitting in the reserve corridor, or otherwise lounging in a public place.

Thesis On Parade

By Sam Bonderoff | April 22, 1997

So you want to write a thesis. Or better yet, you don't want to write a thesis. Maybe you're wondering, 'Should I write a thesis?' Hey juniors, '98's, five-year plan '97's, anal-compulsive goal-obsessed freshmen and prospectives: Are you going to write a thesis? Maybe you're a Govy or Eccy or Socy or, uh, Geoggy major.
