From the Grasslands to Hanover

By Ellen Wight | March 28, 1997

Arriving back at Dartmouth after spending senior winter on the Kenya FSP, I soon realized just how much I'd missed.

Losing (and Regaining) Touch

By Ben Oren | March 28, 1997

You were inseparable, attached at the hip for four years. Laboring through the hallowed halls of Pittsfield High School or The Wilkshire Academy or wherever you attended, you shared it all -- assemblies, homecomings, lab periods -- the whole enchilada.

Diagnosis: Senioritis

By Laura Mannix | March 27, 1997

So there I sat in the doctor's examining room, wearing only that garment known by those in the medical profession as a "johnny" and by the rest of us as an "embarrassment." I'd been waiting in this Mass.

The Price of Status

By Lee Istrail | March 27, 1997

Last term we found out that (surprise!) Dartmouth tuition will increase next year. A less than five percent increase sounds like a reasonable figure; a little inflation, a little price increase.

Green Card Provides a Valuable Service to Students

By C. Andrew Hall | March 27, 1997

To the Editor: I have been an employee of the Hanover Green Card for nearly two years and I was both surprised and hurt by Sander Schlichter's editorial yesterday, "Stalked by the Green Card." [March 25, The Dartmouth] Although I did not personally handle what may or may not have happened with Schlichter's account this summer, I am confident that we do everything in our power to correct any mistakes we or our Green Card vendors make.

Situation With Green Card Was Misrepresented

By Mitch Jacobs | March 27, 1997

To the Editor: In his March 25th editorial, Sander Schlichter '97 writes about a transaction made using his Green Card which confused him and due to our delay in resolving it, aggravated him as well.

Women and Philosophy, Part II

By Kenji Hosokawa | March 27, 1997

Although I have written a number of provocative articles in the past, I do not remember a writing of mine that attracted more scathing criticisms than the one I wrote approximately a year ago.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

By Julie Sloane | March 26, 1997

Welcome back! If you're reading this, I assume you made it back. Oh what tangled webs we weave when we try to get to or from Hanover, New Hampshire. "For only a few thousand dollars (and doesn't the phrase "ten thou" just roll off the tongue so easily!) you too can have the vehicular freedom to come and go as you please without the horrible aggravation of public transportation and buying costly tickets!" Or so goes the sales pitch I've been giving my parents for the past two years.

The Passionate Priest

By Kevin Findlan | March 26, 1997

"I let you know in the last letter about a little mixup with Father Floozie," my mother writes. "I promised you a hot scandal -- so sit down, relax, and read -- this news is smoking!" During my Winter term in Germany, my mother had gotten into the habit of writing entertaining letters to me, but this particular one was particularly record-setting.

P.E. Should Include Exercise

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | March 26, 1997

Today students can complete Dartmouth's P.E. requirement without ever leaving their seats. Classroom-style courses like "Alcoholism and The Culture of Addiction" and "Surviving the Dartmouth Experience" cater to the sedentary and waste the opportunity to expose students to the merits of exercise. Students can now meet their P.E.

By Joseph O. Peters | March 25, 1997

Hilbert's mantra in the attempt to build a "mathematics without paradox," was "We must know. We will know." But it can be effectively extended to science in its entirety.

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.

Habitat for Humanity BUilds More than Houses
