Pardon the Cliche

By Sam Bonderoff | March 25, 1997

What a long, strange trip down a long and winding road it's been. What a long, strange day's journey into 1,001 Arabian nights of the living dead it's been. In other words, my college career, or rather, my four-year string of cliches, is about to come to an end. Therefore, in the best cliched tradition of columnists for The Dartmouth, I have decided to write this look-back-in-anger, best-years-of-our-lives, pour-some-sugar-on-me column. Not that this will be the last column I write for The Dartmouth, of course (so you can put away the champagne). That would be too cliched even for a wrath-of-Achilles, critique-of-pure-reason, theory-of-relativity guy like myself. Hello Dartmouth, my old friend. Remember when we were young? I certainly do.

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.
