Unidentified vandals defaced tables in the Baker Library Reserve Corridor with pro-lesbian, anti-fraternity, anti-male and anti-homophobic statements at the close of Fall term. Hanover Police estimated the damage at $700, making the act a Class B Felony.
Consider this a post-mortem of the Proposition 209 debate. I don't know how others viewed the protest at Collis last Wednesday -- probably as an inspiring, pro-active gathering, or perhaps as a demonstration of solidarity.
I am about as un-sentimental a fellow as you will find, but even I cannot reflect on the subject of old age in this country without becoming quite weepy. "The witch that came, the withered hag, To wash the steps with pail and rag, Was once the beauty Abishag." In Frost we catch an unfortunate glimpse of the prevalent view of old age in the United States: a thoroughly grotesque period of decay, pathetic mumbling about past glories, and, eventually, hollow years of senility.
To the Editor Are 1,600 people annoying? The CFSC is more representative than anything or anyone on this campus.
To the Editor: I'd like to respond to Sarah Johnston's letter in Monday's Dartmouth. I feel that the CFSC Opinion column is no more "interest group propaganda" than the frequent columns that attack the Greek system.
To the Editor: I am writing in response to your Nov. 25 article concerning the College's traditional tree lighting ceremony, and the participation of the Glee Club and other student groups. Our conversation with the Director of the Glee Club about the repertoire for this event has been ongoing since 1994.
To the Editor: I can't believe it! This is ridiculous! I walk out of my 10 on Monday and I see this giant tree, a Christmas tree, stuck right smack dab in the middle of our beloved Green.
I write this column today at the end of the erm and at the conclusion of my tenure as President of the Coed, Fraternity, and Sorority Council.
I read the lead story of last Wednesday's issue of The Dartmouth with a glass of orange juice and a complaisant countenance: "Burnett: College derecognizes Beta," it read.
It's November, three Thursdays have already passed, the smell of pumpkin pie is in the air (figuratively speaking, of course, unless you're on crack), so you all know must time it must be ... Thanksgiving!
To the Editor: During the first weekend of December, the Alumni Council of Dartmouth will convene at the College for its semi-annual meeting.
"What do I want to do with my life? Funny you should bring that up. I have every course for the next eight terms at Dartmouth entirely planned such that upon graduating with degrees in both the toxicology of cyanobacteria and the sociology of lower invertebrates, I can accept the job already offered to me as a head research assistant in a laboratory in Guam.
Many relationships develop in college, and many of them are platonic. Of these, still more are destined to turn from being platonic to a more serious and intimate relationship.
This whole thing started just over a year ago on a fall day in the middle of the week when I ran into four friends in food court and sat down for lunch.
To the Editor: Just dropping a line to tell you how much I admire The D's decision to publish interest group propaganda as manifested in the "CFSC Opinion" column.
To the Editor: It was at the house of Beta Theta Pi were I first met my husband almost three years ago.
To the Editor: I just wanted to raise two issues which seems to have been absent from consideration in the writing about the anonymous posters which were recently put up accusing someone of rape.
Arriving back in Hanover after Thanksgiving, we'll once again be greeted by that gargantuan needled mass that mysteriously grows overnight from the Green's fertile soil, strands of lights and all.
Those who placed the anonymous posters around campus labeling a '99 a rapist did a great disservice to both the students involved and to the Dartmouth community as a whole. In no way do I mean to disparage the seriousness of rape and sexual assault.
