Burn, Creative Loners, Burn

By Sam Bonderoff | January 14, 1997

On January 4, 1997, a date not too long before today's, I saw a rather interesting article in the New York Times. "A Shy Scholar Transforms Dartmouth Into a Haven for Intellectuals," read the explosive headline.

This Week at the Hop: Commencement

By Sander Schlichter | January 13, 1997

It was inevitable. I mean, how long could they put it off? June is only 6 months away. A depressing thought in itself, but to actually be sent a document informing one of the sad event is almost inhuman. I am speaking, of course, about Commencement.

Negative Sterotypes in Bear Bones Have No Place in a Campus Newspaper

By Frank Aum | January 13, 1997

To the Editor: I am writing with regards to the blatant, negative stereotypes that David Berenson uses in his daily cartoon strip, "Bear Bones." In the January 10, 1997 issue of The Dartmouth, the comic strip portrayed an androgynous Asian character with glasses as a nerdy, asexual student who is only concerned about his/her GPA. I also recall at least two other instances in the past where Berenson used similar geeky portrayals of Asians with glasses and "bowl-cuts" -- on one occasion calling a female Asian, "Kim Lee," and on another occasion calling a male Asian, "Lee Kim." The caricaturization of Asian people not only perpetuates negative stereotypes in an irresponsible way but also makes for poor, cliched humor.

Unfairly Split Up the Middle: The Median Way

By Aaron Klein | January 7, 1997

I will never forgot the summer before freshman year of college for a lot of reasons. One tiny one is the letter that the Math Department sent me which convinced me to take Math 18 (Honors Multi-Variable Calculus) my freshman fall.
