Administration Should Help Students

By Aaron Klein | July 19, 1996

Are administrative offices at Dartmouth set up to help or hinder students? Well for $30,000 a year, you'd figure that they would be set up to coddle their Ivy League students through these first few years of living away from home.

Charles Barkley: American Hero

By Fouad Elnaggar | July 15, 1996

By Michael Ellenberg | July 9, 1996

To the Editor: Your article on Friday about "Indepedence Day" ["'Independence Day' free from intelligence," The Dartmouth, June 5] wasn't so much a review of the film as it was a litany of insults.

Why Men Ought to Be Unequal

By Kenji Hosokawa | July 5, 1996

Oh, the places you should go!

By Robinson Hall | July 5, 1996

One of the most popular criticisms of Dartmouth is that there is nothing to do here. Although Hanover's bar and club scene may be limited, there is much more to do at the College than study in a library or party in a fraternity basement. Dartmouth is not located in New York City or Boston, and it is unfair to expect it to offer the same kinds of activities as a major city.

By Michelle Kraemer | July 3, 1996

The perils of a road trip are many, but the advantages of a road trip far outweigh the dangers. This is especially true if one's road begins and ends in Hanover.

By Robinson Hall | July 1, 1996
