Hats Off to 'Drunks' Producer

By Ben Guaraldi | March 3, 1997

To the Editor: Over last weekend, John Hart '75 was here showing his film "Drunks," which he produced because it captured "the New England town meeting," a place where anyone could speak and expect the group to listen to their every word, scrutinizing and mulling over what was said. Perhaps, as he suggested, "this [place] never truly existed" in old New England, but Hart's greatest accomplishment is that he managed to foster this community while he was here.

Taiwan: The 2-28 Incident

By Meylysa Tseng | March 3, 1997

In honor of one of my ancestral homelands, I'd like to bring your attention to Taiwan. Though a small, little island off the coast of Asia, it is the 14th largest economic power in the world.

Mann, the Magician

By Abiola Lapite | February 27, 1997

It has recently been my opportunity to have undergone a truly sublime experience, an experience so fateful in its implications and so richly productive that I feel myself duty bound to communicate, or at least try to communicate, something of the flavor of this experience to my fellow students; I encountered the genius of Thomas Mann's fiction. I imagine that there are a good many individuals out there, not all of whom are irredeemable bottom-feeders, who might be a bit nonplused as to why they should find my enthusiasm for Thomas Mann's writing of any relevance to themselves.

By Sam Bonderoff | February 25, 1997

Since we didn't manage to cover very many departments in last week's column, here's a few more because I love you '99s so darn much! RUSSIAN: There's nothing like Tolstoy, Turgenev and Dostoevsky to make you suicidal in a jiffy.

The Moose is Loose

By David Altman | February 24, 1997

All of you who were at this past weekend's basketball and hockey games saw what I saw -- 2 great things: action on the main stage and a surprise in the stands. Even though the final scores did not turn out as we wanted, I can say I'm proud to support our Dartmouth.

New Housing Procedures Better For Everyone

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | February 21, 1997

The housing policy released today by the Office of Residential Life is a positive step toward creating a sense of community on a campus plagued by residential discontinuity and dissatisfaction. Under the new policy, up to eight friends will be able to live together in adjacent rooms.

Call Me Disillusioned

By Seth Abrahson | February 21, 1997

As a sophomore at Dartmouth College, and an English major whose youthful idealism had never stretched beyond the confines of the theoretical, I decided, in the summer of 1996, to make myself useful to the world at large. Immediately faced with the immensity of my task, I bided my time, opting to sit in front of my BlitzMail and wait for an opportunity to appear.
