Ticking to Twenty

By Julie Sloane | January 17, 1997

When most people remember childhood birthday parties, they remember things like tearing through endless wrapping paper, pleading over who would get the icing roses from the cake, and rubbing balloons on their heads to generate static and make them stick to the wall.

Career Services Provides Students With More Options

By Skip Sturman | January 17, 1997

To the Editor: At the tail end of a hectic first week of the term for staffers and students alike in Career Services, it was refreshing, then disconcerting, to see the headline: "Career Services Aids Job-Hunters." [January 10, 1997, The Dartmouth] The headline appeared at a pivotal time of year for student job-hunters, especially seniors, but the article that followed contained factual inaccuracies and, more importantly, missed a golden opportunity to provide a great deal of information which could have truly aided job-hunters. Instead of dwelling on perceived inadequacies, we wish the article could have revealed our full array of entry-level job-hunting resources in Career Services: job postings on the Internet (JobTrak); a CD ROM data base of 260,000 public and private employers (Career Search); a web site (Career Services' Home Page); job newsletters in the arts, not-for-profits and the environment; off-campus career fairs and more. We also wish the article could have discussed the availability of career and job search counselors ready and willing to offer individualized job search guidance.

Self-Monitoring Part of the Solution

By Christ Swift | January 15, 1997

As a CFS alcohol monitor and an active member of the Greek system, I am somewhat perplexed by the tone and purpose of one of the Principles for Discussion which were recently circulated among members of the community by the College Committee on Alcohol and Other Drugs.

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.

An Example of Poor Treatment of Facts

By Kenji Hosokawa | January 13, 1997

Will Taylor in his "American Policy and Attitude in Asia Must Change" [Thursday, January 9, 1997, The Dartmouth] attempts to portray the problematic American policy toward Asia by illustrating a few incidents that he thinks demonstrate America's parochial view of the world.

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.

In the Shadow

By Amy Diluna | January 10, 1997

All my life, I've walked in a shadow. In the past few years, the shadow has grown larger. In fact, it's reached mammoth proportions.
