By Vivian Lee | February 6, 1997

As I lay sprawled across the coach watching another episode of Rosie O'Donnell in which she proclaims her crush on Tom Cruise for the umpteenth time, my mother walked into the room.

College's Policies Defeat Their Goals

By Scott E. Jacobs | February 5, 1997

When you applied to Dartmouth, did you know what the social life here was all about? I bet you didn't find anywhere in the brochures the statement: "Students at the College rely on The Greek Scene for any and all social activities." So maybe this is a slight exaggeration of the truth, but it is based in the fact that for many Dartmouth students, the only conceivable option for some Friday-night fun is "fratting." Yet Parkhurst claims to be making a concerted effort to make students happier and provide alternatives.

The following are excerpts from an interview I conducted this weekend with one of Dartmouth's most famous alums, Tiresias '94.

By Henry Rosevear | January 29, 1997

To the Editor: Four months ago, a joint Hanover Town/Dartmouth College committee asked the Office of Residential Life to invite a few active members of the Dartmouth Greek system to join them in discussing the Greek system's policy on Hanover High school students and Greek parties. The committee was led by Dena Romero from Hanover High School and was composed of parents, teachers, and a diverse body of distinguished community members including Class of 1997 Dean Teoby Gomez; Julia Griffin, Town Manager; Nick Giaccone, Hanover Police Chief; and Uwe Bagnato, Hanover High Principal.

Investment and Entrepreneurship Do Not Make a Better World

By Vince Cannon | January 28, 1997

To the Editor: Flipping through last Friday's copy of The Dartmouth,[Jan. 17] I became disoriented, confused, and afraid ... for a moment I thought I was reading the Wall Street Journal or perhaps a series of articles entitled "Big Green Says, 'Mmm, Capitalism!'" Not only was the entire Weekend Gazette section about our fine young entrepreneurs and the oodles and oodles of money they have made "investing" (read: pushing paper around), but the cover was graced with the Bolivian Ambassador to the United States telling us just how dandy capitalism has been for him. I have yet to see a Weekend Gazette section about Dartmouth students dedicating themselves to community service or careers that may bring about positive change but -- gasp!
