A Warning to the Ignorant Voter

By Kenji Hosokawa | October 8, 1996

I was appalled to read "Can Clinton Bring Us to the Table?" by Aaron Klein '98 [Oct. 7]. It clearly illustrated an example of inane thinking that often plagues today's political debates.

Choose and Lose

By Sam Bonderoff | October 8, 1996

I'll be honest -- I wasn't going to write about the Presidential campaign. No, I figured I had far too many trivial complaint columns still needing to be voiced: the lack of sandwiches at the Collis Cafe, the fascistic parking policy of the College, the inherent weirdness of Tai Chi ... well, you get the point. But a funny thing happened on the way to the rant.

The Age of the Obvious

By Abiola Lapite | October 7, 1996

Ours is an age of the obvious. Ours is an age in which men confuse raging lust with high affection, an age in which subtlety is mistaken for cowardice.

Who Do You Trust?

By Laura Zachman | October 7, 1996

To borrow a phrase from Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), do you count yourself among "[President Bill Clinton's] high taxing, free-spending, promise-breaking, Social Security-taxing, health care-socializing, drug-coddling, power-grabbing, business-busting, lawsuit-loving, U.N.

A Free Lunch

Greek System Isn't for Everyone

By Rachel R. Gilliar | October 3, 1996

Last Spring, Stephen Schmidt'97 wrote a column titled, "A Voice for the Greek System" [May 17, 1996] in which he urged every member of the Class of 1999 to rush a Greek house, no matter what their personal opinions may be.

Sophomoric Reflections

By Jennifer Parkinson | October 3, 1996

It's not so easy being a sophomore. First of all, no Dartmouth student ever fully recovers from the shock of no longer being a freshman. Like a rude awakening from a pleasant dream by the shriek of a fire alarm at 4 a.m.; like a rockin' dorm party disseminated by the ominous knock of Safety and Security at the door (oh yeah -- but that was last year too) sophomore year hits hard. Sophomores live in the River (except for a few enviable ORL staffers, or those who have finagled the system.

Major Headaches

By Laura Mannix | October 3, 1996

So," said my Harvard-educated dentist, coming into the small sterile room and walking over to the chair where I sat. "Where do you go to school, Miss Mannix?" "Dartmouth College." "Really!?" he said, sounding shocked.

De Gustibis

By Matthew Lubin | October 2, 1996

The pace of life at Dartmouth leaves time for very few lingering meals, of the sort good writers can render with such mouthwatering abandon.

A Vote for Bill Clinton Is a Vote for E.T.

By Marc Mcdonald | October 2, 1996

If you watch television, you can definitely tell it is an election year. Instead of micro-Smiling Steve driving around the Lebanon Pharmacy in his Tyco Black Thunder four-wheeler, there's campaign message after campaign message telling the viewers who they should vote for. A vote for Bob Dolegingrich, according to ads paid for by Clinton/Gore '96, means cuts in Medicare, social security, education, and anything else the government helps fund, in order to pay for Dolegingrich's 15 percent across-the-board tax cut. In his ads, Bob Dole states that a vote for Clinton means ... well, he has trouble on this one considering the economy if flying.

By Jennifer Dziura | October 1, 1996

Ever since human beings noticed that we have been dying -- and what's more, doing so permanently -- we have been searching for a fountain of youth. At last, we may have found our fountain in some curious mutant worms.
